50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Cortez

“We had the pompano fish, Atlantic salmon and seafood salad sandwich. ALL delicious! The woman who took our order was warm and friendly and was glad to answer any questions we had as this was our first visit. We are not from this area but plan to visit yearly and Star Fish will definitely be on our list of places to eat!“

“Can’t say much about the food here but the marina service is top notch ! The marina could use some work and it’s not as fancy as other places around, but we come back year after year and rent a slip and storage May-August solely because of Harley. He is always a joy to interact with, honest and hardworking. He addresses any issue or concern with haste, makes us feel like family every summer and is always super accommodating to my handicapped father when he comes with us to the marina which means the world to us. Can’t say enough good things about him!“

“We were on vacation last week and went to Wolfies for an early dinner as my husband grew up in South Florida and used to go to the one in Miami. He was so excited to be able to go to one of his favorite restaurants from his childhood! This place did not disappoint. We started off with the pickle plate. Not my cup of tea but everyone else enjoyed it. He had the soup flight which were ALL delicious and the turkey with the fixings. I had the Matthew Broderick (a patty melt) that was amazing. Our friends had the slider trio and pastrami and brisket. We all sampled each others food and wow! We finished it off with some cheesecake that was the best I've had. No wonder my husband's family had such fond memories of this place. Do yourself a favor and go!“

Right from arrival the staff was warm, welcoming, and catered to our every need. The pace was just right, never rushed, and always right there when we needed them. The food was delicious and there were plenty for leftovers, too. A wonderful experience.“

“AMI Pizza was good and our order was ready in 10 minutes.“

“Exceptionally smooth coffee. This is hands down the smoothest coffee I have drank, and I drink a lot of coffee, which is something brewed into most U.S. Navy Sailors. You won’t know unless you try it, then you will understand that this coffee sells itself, which is what a good product should do. Try it, and you’ll be convinced. ~ U.S. Navy Sailor“

“My friend and I went on Saturday night. We both had a drink and ordered appetizer while looking at the menu. Our waiter was right there with our hot appetizer within minutes. We both ordered shrimp and scallops coleslaw hush puppies along with our fried calamari appetizer. Our food was one of the best we've had in and around Bradenton/Sarasota. The atmosphere was perfect and service was the best. I cant wait to go back.“

“Dropped in by chance in August while visiting from Scotland. We were blown away by the welcome and such a lovely surprise to find I could have a few beers while my girls shopped for gifts. Met new friends at the bar too after sitting for a few hours. Legendary status in my book and we will be back for sure. So pleased to see you are bouncing back too following the recent Hurricanes. Anna Maria Strong for sure. Steven, Jennifer and Cailin“

His customer service skills and passion for what he does is is unmatched! Even if the snoball, was awful he made the entire visit! But I promise you it was the best snoball I ever had!!! Don’t pass this place up!!“

“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!“

There's one we usually see and I wish I knew their name, but they always seem very genuine and present in the conversation and I appreciate that. Also, they all make great gelati creations. I hope they all get more money bc they deserve it.“

“I booked a three hour outing yesterday with Captain Bill for my husband’s 63rd! We drove down from SC to visit my aunt and uncle who live here. Bill was a joy and despite the windy, cooler weather, we had a blast! We would def book a repeat outing in the summer. Highly recommend this outfit for some fun time out on the water.“

“5/5 stars! Oak & Stone exceeded my expectations in every way! The rooftop bar was incredible, with stunning views of the Twin Dolphin Marina! But what really made our visit stand out was the exceptional service from the bartenders. Tessa was hands down the best bartender I've ever had - she was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Taylor was also great, providing excellent service with a smile. The drinks were crafty and delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. We can't wait to come back and enjoy another night out at Oak & Stone's rooftop bar!“

“First time visiting. Very cute downtown location. Parking can be a little tight. We ordered the Cheese Flatbread and the special of the day the Beef Tenderloin Board. The flatbread was good and the tenderloin board was amazing. We had sweet tea to drink which turned out to be a sweetened light green tea. Very tasty and refreshing. We enjoyed that surprise.“

“Do you want a refreshing, on point, and made with care and love? Then get your rear in gear and get some happiness in a cup, at this amazing shop. They have a Boho/Industrial coffee shop vibe that flows smoothly like the drinks you sip on. This time around I got a chai tea with vanilla. The drink that was given to me was nothing short of amazing.“

“This is the best ice cream on the island bar none! Have been coming to it for over 30 years including the old location. The owner is top notch. Enjoyed chatting with him just ahead of the fourth over some of his award winning ice cream. My go to spot on the island.“

“We were lucky to have Chef Melissa make two meals for us during a group vacation to Siesta Key, and our whole crew is still talking about the incredible food! Those dinners were a huge highlight of our trip, and having a private chef bring a 5-star restaurant experience right to our beach rental was awesome for our big group of 10. We didn't take any photos, because we immediately tucked in to everything she set down for us. Thank you, Chef Melissa!!“

“Great little hidden gem in Downtown Sarasota. Great coffee and customer service ☕️“

“I gotta say, Alicia at Paddywagon is awesome! She’s super friendly and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Even when the place is packed, she never lets you wait too long for a drink. Alicia knows her stuff when it comes to making drinks. She’s quick, and her cocktails are always spot on. Plus, she’s really good at remembering what you like if you’re a regular. She’s always got a smile on her face and is up for a chat, which makes hanging out at Paddywagon even better. The bar’s always clean and she handles everything like a pro, even when things get a little crazy. If you’re looking for a good time and great service, Alicia’s your girl. Go check her out at Paddywagon – you won’t be disappointed!“

“Danny Fernandez is BACK!!!! The REAL Danny's Pizzeria is BACK!!!! I was soooo happy to see Danny behind the counter when I walked in. I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“This is THE SPOT. Wow! Their famous Chicken and biscuit was so delicious, juicy and flavorful. Home fries….yes! Kids had Mickey Mouse pancakes and yes, I snuck a few bites. Also one of the few places with a good coffee menu…thank goodness! Espresso Freddo (cold) hit the spot on a hot day. Service was 100%.“
