“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.“

“we had an amazing experience at riverhouse. I came in with my family that i havent seen in a long time and our server odaris was wonderful. There was a language barrier and she was able to translate the menu to my family that didnt speak english.

“amazing food everything was on point the tacos were amazing. I dont even like quac and I ate all of theres great flavor. the staff was super friendly amazing food this is my new Mexican food spot 100% recommended“

“Hubby had the cod, ff and coleslaw. The cod was perfectly breaded very lightly, the french fries yummy and we never got to the coleslaw (taking home leftovers). I had the shrimp scampi fettuccine, in butter sauce – Yum! The bread with the oil dip was wonderful. I highly recommend this place and wish they were much closer to where I live (SRQ airport-could replace Primos! I’m just suggesting).“

“A really nice place for breakfast. And, our server, Celene made it perfect.“

“stopped in for lunch today. the food was decent, needed more flavor for me. the service was lack luster. waited over ten minutes from time being seated with menus until a server came over to bring us water and see if we wanted anything else. the server returned a couple times, but then at the end was too involved with her cellphone at the service station. even to the point of taking it over to 2 other employees to see before realizing that we were growing inpatient with waiting for the check. overall I give it a 7/10.“

“My sisters and I had lunch here and we were very happy with everything. Staff was extremely nice, the portion of the food was plenty and tasted great. Prices were really good too. We will definitely return to this restaurant.“

“Highly recommend! The drinks and Açaí bowl are amazing. Fresh fruits and very good!“

“I had a health concern happen while I was entertaining myself and the locals with some guitar music, good conversation and lots of pool games. I got dehydrated and the paranoia set in hard. Luckily these folks are good people and all my belongings were kept, safely. When I got well and was able to retrieve them. I was well cared for and never made to feel unwelcome though I’m afraid I might have made a fool of myself. Maybe again some day without the dehydration? I hope so!“

“the food is always amazing. i’ve learned over the years that good customer service isn’t perfection because that isn’t possible. good customer service is how you handle mishaps. the service we experienced tonight was top notch from josiah ! there was a minor kitchen mishap that was honestly a minor inconvenience at best however the way he handled it made us feel so very valued! the ambiance is the best in town with its whimsy not just in decor but with the menu! ask for josiah you won’t be disappointed“

“delicious! very unique experience, worth the visit“

“I return for the spiedino de mare or the chicken trio - delicious“

“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!“

“Everything was excellent!! I highly recommend and my husband is already planning our next visit!!“

“Tookies and Treats had me before the first bite! The beautiful presentation drew me in, and the incredible smell made it impossible to leave without trying something. I started with the oatmeal cookies, they were absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to return and try everything else. A truly sweet experience from start to finish!“

“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.“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“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!“

“Best breakfast lunch anywhere. People are great food excellent homemade. If you have not been you are missing out.“

“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!“

“Love these guys! Stopped in to get some Lobster Bisque Soup, Shrimp Egg Roll and Fried Pickles! All of it was delicious! I highly recommend!“

“I get a healthy shake every time I come to get my hair or nails done! Not loaded with sugars and full of protein. They all taste amazing, but I’m hooked on chocolate and pnut butter ! Better prices than any other place like and healthier. 5 stars from me ☺️“

“Great food and great service. Our waiter Rogelio was excellent. Very nice ambiance, highly recommend Harry's.“

“Our server was great, however the chick that came flying out from the back to scream at us didn't make us feel very welcomed. We almost left but am glad we stayed as the rest of the night was great.
The food was just so so but then we had an appetizer. The rest of the menu may be fine.“

“Ate here first time today, 4-12-22, for lunch. Wonderful fresh fish. Generous portions. Pricing commensurate with quality. Clean, well-lit, modern space. Good service. I'll be back!“

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

“I have driven by many times and we finally stopped by. They are usually doing business like crazy every time we drive by. After eating the tacos... im coming back A LOT. The food is great, I cant wait to go back and try everything else. These tacos are fantastic, we got the carnitas and sauces but honestly these are fine just the way they are...perfect.“

“Had a quick chill lunch with my bff, sat outside. Craig’s service was above and beyond!“

“I love Oak and Stone and am a frequent customer of the restaurant, specifically this location. It is high quality, the staff are nice, the place is very clean, and the vibes with the beer wall and atmosphere are good. On top of that, pricing is right on par and the app is incredibly easy to use with good rewards. I frequently go run errands in UTC and will stop by here to pick something up. I would also dare say this is some of the best pizza in Sarasota. What’s actually triggered me to write this review is for the first time, I experienced a hiccup with an online order and had a long in person wait time. Not only were the individuals working very apologetic, but the team took extra steps after I received my order to make it right and show appreciation to me as a customer. Shout out Jacob, the general manager. I will continue to be a big Oak and Stone fan!“

“The perfect choice for spending a day at the beach!“

“We were able to get seats at the bar. We enjoyed ourselves. The bartender Jen was great. It was busy and she was on her toes as she was the only bartender but made sure everyone was taken care of. The expeditor was impressive. His name was Brody. It was great to see a young man being so attentive to what he was doing and making sure that the staff knew what was going on. Our food was delicious.“

“We love Jeremiah’s! The best place in town for ice cream and water ice, and their Jelati’s are awesome. Friendly service, tons of flavors, and we’ve never had to wait long even when there’s a line. I had an issue redeeming a reward on the app, and the owner Jake and his staff went above and beyond to resolve it. Highly recommend!“

“Chef Melissa was absolutely wonderful and made our Siesta Key weekend feel extra special. We hired her for a private family birthday dinner, and from start to finish everything was seamless.

The food was beautifully prepared, fresh, and delicious, and the presentation made the evening feel like a true restaurant experience in our own vacation home. She was professional, warm, organized, and handled everything so we could simply relax and enjoy the night with our family.

It was such a treat to have appetizers followed by a lovely dinner without having to leave the house, especially while traveling with our grandson. Chef Melissa helped make an already special family weekend even more memorable.

We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef in the Siesta Key/Sarasota area.“

“My morning stop ALWAYS!! I have had their tea, açaí bowl, and protein waffle—everything tasted really good and felt filling without being too heavy. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and the vibe was super positive.“

“The acai banana splits are excellent! I had the match maker with a matcha base! It was unique and very flavorful! My granddaughter had the Mailbu Barbie smoothie and a Nutella waffle. She absolutely loved her choices! The staff was pleasant and answered questions. We would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We are new to the area. We just moved from St Cloud Fl not Michigan(LOL). What made it special of going here to eat was Kelly. She showed us her courtesy and overall great hospitality. This made it to the top of our list of ones to come back too. Kelly was also very knowledgeable of the menu and the surrounding area. She answered all our questions. Thanks again Kelly.“
