“Second visit to the Restaurant and the food and service were of high quality. Again the starter of Antipasto Italiano with Burrata was the highlight, so fresh and delicious. Branzino & Puttanesca was a good choice for a main dish and did not disappoint. A lovely experience overall, helped in no small part with the attentive service from Tatiana. La Norma should be on your list if visiting LBK.“

“My new favorite LBK restaurant! The Grouper Ruben is AMAZING!“

“Since moving from NY 5 years ago, this is the best Reuben I've had in Florida! The pickles are outstanding. Half sours 🤤I'm looking forward to trying their matzo soup. While I haven't been to their location, DoorDash orders have been flawless! I'll be back!!! 🙂 🙂“

“Friendly staff along with excellent food!! I Would highly recommend..“

“We’ve eaten here twice since we got here to AMI a little over a week ago. The food is amazing! Fresh and flavorful plus portions are great. The people running the restaurant are so friendly and fun to talk to! Very personable. They are always taking the time to check on their guests, have conversations, and are just very involved in the dining experience. I also appreciate the attentiveness to the dining area and the cleanliness. If you haven’t experienced Los Chiludos yet - just go! You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back!“

“A hidden gem of a dining experience on Bridge Street.If you wish to indulge your Italian- fare-desires with authentic Italian cuisine then Pane Y Amore must be your go-to for a truly delightful meal and evening. By the way, when you visit let them know that Piper the Scotty dog highly recommends Pane Y Amore.“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“Linda and I went for the first time about a week ago. We should have gone sooner. The food was so good and the decor was refreshing. Great service and a great meal. We're going again tonight.“

“Ka Papa is a true gem serving the vegan community of south Florida! These guys clearly are experienced in working with plant cuisine: the tastes brought forward in their dishes speak for themselves. I had the vegan escargot appetizer which was surprisingly buttery, rich & appetizing! We also had a fettuccini & mushroom dish which was to die for & the recommended plant protein steak with mashed potatoes - one of the best vegan steaks I have had in my entire life (vegan since 1992, so somewhat of a veteran vegan here). We had cake & ice cream for desert & felt like we flexed the menu heartily. For a weeknight the place was busy & service was on point, I can’t express how much I genuinely appreciated the terrific experience at Ka Papa!“

“Great selection of flavors, and all the bartenders are super friendly“

“Very special place with delicious, authenthic food. Lovely wait staff.“

“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

“We ordered Pizza and it was delicious!! The service was great!! Sophia made us feel welcome and was very pleasant. She must have visited our table 6 or 7 times making sure we were doing ok.“

“The best. My family and I we had the best food 🍱. Evething was delicious. People there very sweet and amazing“

“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.“

“I love this place. becoming so addicted

Parking: Plenty of free parking

Kid-friendliness: totally kid, friendly and safe

Wheelchair accessibility: the parking is great and the outside sitting“

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

“The seafood sampler was delicious- the scallops melt in your mouth like butter. The ocean scampi was good, but the garlic was a bit overpowering. Pleasant staff and comfortable outdoor seating… it was nice for a higher end meal.“

“We enjoyed Fam! We ordered today for delivery. My baby loved the tofu scramble! We would order again!“

“🇩🇪 Wundervoller Besuch – absolut empfehlenswert! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🇭🇺 Wir waren gestern in diesem liebevoll geführten Laden und sind rundum begeistert! Der Baumkuchen war ein Traum – frisch, saftig und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Dazu ein hervorragender Kaffee, der das Genusserlebnis perfekt abgerundet hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich freundliche Eigentümerin, mit der wir ein sehr nettes Gespräch führen durften. Man spürt sofort, mit wie viel Herzblut sie ihr Geschäft führt. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Geschäft selbst ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einer warmen Atmosphäre, in der man gerne verweilt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – ein echter Geheimtipp!“

“Back Alley is my favorite shop at my favorite beach. Its usually an every day stop while we're staying on the island. The coffee is always fantastic and I find the best souvenirs there. I especially love drinking coffee from my Back Alley Insulated cup at home because it reminds me of my happy place when I cant be there. Today was a fantastic day because I got to visit Back Alley! It was our first time in since all the storm damage and the place looks even more beautiful than it did before!“

“Fresh fish prepared well awesome sides to choose from. Great small joint vibe with Live Music and an awesome back yard. Get there early the line gets deep fast. 10 out of 10!!“

“Nick is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent product. I highly recommend!!“

“Excellent!!!! Unexpected. Very happy to find this restaurant. Delicious food, served beautifully, seasoned to perfection, and our server, Linda, added to the great experience. Go!“

“First timers but def won’t be the last! The crabcakes, lobster bisque, tuna tacos, & beef short rib were the tastiest & freshest food we had while here. Wished we would have tried it sooner in our trip cuz I’m going to bed thinking of the food!! We sat out back where a guy was playing guitar & it was just a whole vibe. We love love love good food!! Service (Monica, I hope) was exceptional. This will be one of our faves for sure. Portions were perfect. Did I say how delectable the tuna was? Mmmm….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great place to get an icy cool treat. Place is very clean, great employees that have great recommendations as well.“

“This is my tribe and is the absolute best vibe in all of Bradenton. I love this place!“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Cuba 1958 in Sarasota! There were four of us, and we enjoyed every single dish we ordered — from the appetizers to the main courses, everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was both beautiful and welcoming. This place is a gem! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a great vibe. A must-visit!“

“Shake Station has became our favorite restaurant. We eat there at least once a week. The staff are amazing very polite and friendly. The food is great and prices are very reasonable.“

“If you are in the Bradenton, Florida area I highly recommend visiting Bayshore Nutrition. The owner is so nice, the store is beautifully decorated and the teas, protein donuts, energy bites, chocolate pb protein parfait were outstanding! We will definitely be back! 🫶🏼🙌🏻“

“Wow! What an impressive evening at every level. Do not hesitate and book this restaurant for your next food adventure. The moment you walk into this establishment, you know the vibe is cool and these people know their food & spirits. The food is incredible and different than the typical Sarasota restaurant that has the same boring food offerings. I was impressed with the Iberico pork dish and unusually amazingly flavored vegetables and spices that accented the smoky, tender pork. The yuca side dish was similar to a potato but more flavorful and crispier mixed with an addition of corn, pickled cabbage and other vegetables. I haven't found a dish that impressed me more in recent years. The crispy salmon was a "oh wow" moment for my friend, who hails from the Pacific Northwest as do I, where Washingtonians know a thing or two about salmon. This restaurant provides your palate something different and if you're a veteran of dining out constantly, this is a welcomed change from the ordinary. The New York steak included an amazing demi glaze exploding with flavor and had the perfect consistency which can be a challenge to make right but State Street Eatinghouse + Cocktails got it right. I highly recommend the fried Brussell sprouts appetizer as they were a flavor explosion in our mouths. The bacon amplified the sprouts with the accompaniment of the balsamic glaze. My friend's husband and mine, who usually don't like this vegetable, were pleasantly surprised and ate more than the obligatory "try one" bite. State Street Eating House + Cocktails is owned by the same people that introduced us to tapas restaurant "Beso", which I recently tried, and awarded it my "Best Restaurant in Sarasota" award. This restaurant belongs in the "Restaurant Hall of Fame" of Sarasota or even US restaurants. I love it! My waiter, Dana, was super attentive and impressive. His vast knowledge of the drink and food menu was spot-on and his candor and expertise added to the whole evening's experience. What an amazing restaurant! I can't wait to book my next reservation and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Cheers! Dietary restrictions: I appreciate they were mindful of my cow's milk allergy which makes eating out difficult since most dishes have butter and/or cheese. Thank you for helping me feel confident about eating here.“

“Best burger in Anna Maria. Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. We felt so welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed the food with a cold beer!“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Sun King is a super fun pet & family friendly brewery. There are a variety of different events for everyone each month. Lady loves to hang out with me on back patio and the swing! Cant get me off that thing. Lots of wonderful beers and wine /ciders / NAs / kombucha / sodas, etc. There is something for everyone. My favorite beer is the Oktoberfest and the Wee Mac Scottish brown ale. So delicious! A must see/ visit in Sarasota! ???“

“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!“

“Very convenient. Efficient staff. Delicious food.“

“Look no further!!! Coming down from Pittsburgh for our wedding we researched who could make my dreams a reality with a taco bar/party for our reception. And let me tell you….they went above and beyond! The two women that came to our beach house and prepared our food and helped serve it was just amazing! But let me tell you about their food. The chicken and Korean beef…WOW. My family was raving about the flavors and the toppings for the taco bar. I could not be happier.“

“We come here every year for the atmosphere and food. Our server, Chris, was top notch! Love this restaurant and it’s a must on every trip we take there.“

“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.“

“Been here a few times now and loved it every time. The employees are great! 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.“

“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!“

“Best place to have a meal on the island! Amazing ownership & staff!“

“A great place to meet your local farmers and find specialty items. There is plenty of hot food and it's a delight to stroll downtown with the background sounds of the local musician of the week. A lot of the vendors are seasonal. Fresh sourdough, bone broth, veggies, seafood, whole chicken, microgreens, and so much more! My gut is a happy lady! ??“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“
