Strong drinks, nice views, solid live entertainment. We haven't enjoyed the food as much under the new owner.

The food is horrible here. Both times we went this year the dinners were sub standard. The prices are too high even with the Entertainment coupon!! Not even 3 oz of Chicken in the Alfredo. Alfredo is thick and disgusting and portions are tiny. The place has really nice atmosphere and our server was nice. That was the saving grace here. Save your money and stay home!!!

I lived on the island for six years now. Always have look forward to getting my baby back ribs here at the Manatee. Today was the worst ribs I’ve ever had. The last time I was here about a month ago same thing so I gave it another chance I will not be coming back. It really sucks that living here how my dining experience at this place has completely changed. Will not be referring it to your family or friends visiting as well.

Pleasant staff, pretty view. Reuben sandwich and Mango pork sandwich was so-so. Good fries, rum bucket was tasty though weak on rum. I overheard a woman saying it was an off night for the chef and the server said the kitchen was short staffed, so it may typically be a better experience. Lovely setting.

The most rude service I’ve ever encountered. Upon walking in and asking for a table we were told that there would be a wait, but when asked how long the wait would be the hostess told us “I don’t know”…. Then when we found a table outside in the open seating area we were told we couldn’t grab another two chairs for our party of 4 very rudely. Not to mention at least 25 tables in the restaurant were completely empty. Will not be coming back.
