20 Best Wine Bars near Bradenton

“we are having a 'staycation' of sorts to visit Anna Maria Island Beach, and I have to stay, after walking to 5(!) restaurants and being turned away, this amazing restaurant allowed me and my family of 5 to stay. Not only did they welcome us, Doug, our server, laughed with my kiddos, treated us like we were royalty and made our little staycation dinner- well...amazing. This is the kind of place that makes a city it resides in..PROUD. The food was nothing short of amazing, I am celiac and struggle on vacations, knowing where to eat. Thankful to God, that this chef is gluten intolerant - so I could eat just about everything on the menu. Do not be discouraged..they might not have a kids menu, but that did not stop Chateau 13 from editing any dish they were interested in to make them smile. I thought they were going to make me order another side of 'frites' to go!“

“I celebrated my birthday at this quaint and unique space last month, and have been back several times since.
Meaghan, the owner, is friendly, accommodating, and a lovely person to chat with.
We have tried just about everything on their food menu, as well as sampled many of their wines. Everything we tried we loved!
We particularly enjoyed the Lola Pinot Noir. As we learned, Lola, is the label of her brother's vineyard in the Sonoma Valley.
Don't expect over-the-top service, expect excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent conversation.
Just love this place! Supporting local restauranteurs is so important. Keep the national chains from absorbing or forcing the mom and pops out.
Cheers to the entire Jennings Provisions team!“

“Our experience was nothing short of exceptional! Matthew, our server, was great — he helped us put together a custom flatbread and made a point of flagging our gluten allergy to the chef so we didn’t have to stress about it. That flatbread ended up being the star of the night, loaded with flavor start to finish. For entrees, we both went with the filet mignon, and it came out cooked exactly right. We’ll definitely be back for dinner soon!“

“Small Italian restaurant. Pizzas and entrees are all amazing. I've eaten in and done take out, always great. Nanna's Longhots- with sautéed hot peppers and crisp potato slices is so flavorful. The meatball appetizer with ricotta and crostini is suitable for a small individual meal. My favorite dish is the Benny's Penne with sausage, mushroom, spinach and creamy marmalade sauce- be prepared to want to lick the plate clean!“

“We have never had Thai Cuisine before and could not be more pleased with the food. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent, portion size and prices were great! Highly recommend 🙂!“

“The service, the food, the festive and fun environment! We were here years ago and ate here two days in a row. We had a large party and were celebrating a birthday for this evening. Our server and food runner were both amazing. We ended up meeting the chef and she was phenomenal as well! By the time we left, we had a ‘family’ photo taken with all three staff we met. So thankful for the fun night! Will definitely be back!“

“Without a doubt the best restaurant in the area. Perfect, old style French. Family run.“

“If you are looking for great coffee, gifts and a nice happy hour, Back Alley is you place! Drop in and say hi to Tammi and the rest of the super friendly staff. One of our favorite places on the Island on Bridge Street!“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“Great place with a wide range of cigars to check out. Kim is the best to deal with, knows her stuff, and always makes me feel welcomed when I stop in!“

“Kate was exceptional as we had 9 women who arrived thinking we had reservations! I had made reservations in key largo!!! Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“

“This place is amazing. Great food, great wine, great service and wonderful setting. Best place to eat in LWR, IMO!“

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure if dining at Sophie’s, in Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota. What an amazing experience. The decor both inside and outside so chic. We had Matty as our waitress. She was spot on with top notch service and a wonderful personality. We started with a bread basket of assorted toppings, delicious. He had the Tai chicken. Well prepared and perfect with seasoning. I had on of the best burger ever. Cooked and seasoned perfectly at medium rare with tasty fries. The manager checked on us several times, a nice touch you don’t see anymore. If you happen to be in the area at the mall, I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. We will be back.“

“The Capital Grille never disappoints! The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. This was our first experience having lunch at The Capital Grille (we have had dinner there a number of times) and it certainly won't be our last. We enjoyed a great lunch at a great value.“

“La Norma Ristorante & Pizzeria was one of the highlights of our trip to Longboat Key! Every dish we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The Chicken Parmesan was perfectly crispy, topped with flavorful marinara, melted mozzarella, and served with fresh pasta that tasted homemade. The salmon piccata was cooked perfectly—tender, flaky, and covered in a rich lemon-caper sauce that paired wonderfully with the linguine. The grilled fish with pasta was fresh, light, and full of Mediterranean flavors, and even the kids’ meal came with generous portions of crispy chicken tenders and fries that our little one loved.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was cozy, relaxing, and perfect for a family dinner or a date night.“

“The hostess Megan handled the reservation and made the start and end of the atmosphere so enjoyable. We dined and had Zoe and she was amazing. beyond exceptional service. she made our dining experience feel at home and unique and had great recommendations. The food was fantastic and handled with great care. The managers were also so kind and very attentive. Would one thousand percent be back to this location for the great service and great food.“

“I had the cheesesteak sub a few days ago and it was killer!! Being from Jersey, it’s difficult to find a good one around here. It was a huge sandwich and prepared perfectly. I would have taken a picture but I wolfed it down before I thought of it. I’ll be back… next time I’m getting gelato!“

“Brunch! The best! Great service, food excellent. Definitely will be back and it’s local for us...“

“Great place to have a good time !“
