“We went to Pelicans for the first time yesterday and couldn’t love it more! Jeff was absolutely amazing and made the first visit an entire experience! 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!!“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. Riley was an excellent server (thank you again). The view was beautiful, seats right on the river. Wow! My only complaint was my whiskey sour was a bit on the weak side. Will definitely stop again when in the area. PS: if you’re not used to Florida, you might want to spray some bug spray on your legs if you eat outside.

Parking: Lot is a tight squeeze.“

Anna Maria Strong for sure. Steven, Jennifer and Cailin“

All three girls showed amazing hospitality to us today! They were fabulous!“

“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!“

“Awesome food, friendly staff. The blackened grouper sandwich is amazing!“

“Great, casual, friendly spot.“

“Best coffee shop in Bradenton. Nice central location, close to the water and downtown if you want to go for a stroll before or after your coffee. Excellent quality coffee with some nice takes on speciality drinks. Kind and attentive staff. Some decent snacks if you want to grab a light bite as well. Parking can be a bear, but it’s worth it. One of my favorite places in town to work on my laptop if I need a change of scenery.

Parking: Parking can be difficult here with all the tourists, especially during high times. Bring your patience.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“
