We were sat quickly, loved the beautiful scenery on the outside patio. Our server was amazing and the food was also very good! We wouldn’t hesitate to come back if we’re in the area!

We took my aunt and uncle to this restaurant for a special birthday celebration. After our food arrived, we observed multiple large cockroaches crawling around our table. We immediately reported this to the manager; however, all he did was send the waitress over. The waitress apologized and offered complimentary desserts, which we declined. One of the waitstaff stepped on a cockroach and left it on the floor next to our table.

Due to the unsanitary conditions, we were unable to eat our meals and lost our appetite entirely. Our dinner celebration was effectively ruined.

We informed the staff that we no longer wanted the food, yet the manager still required us to pay for it. He told my husband that if we did not pay, he would call the police. To avoid causing a scene, we paid $100 for food we could not eat. Several nearby tables also left the restaurant because of the cockroach issue.

The manager, Rob, demonstrated extremely poor customer service. We will be contacting the Department of Health regarding this matter. This establishment is not sanitary, and we strongly advise others to avoid dining here.

The food and atmosphere is good.. However, while eating , MANY Very LARGE ROCHES appeared in the dining room. The owner was calling the police because we felt like not paying the bill. Customer service was quite poor. Many other customers started to leave. Calling the dept of health tomorrow

Thanks for the great reviews from my Yelp friends Pat M & Dawne F, we decided to try this place for HH. It was windy & cool out so the outside wasn't open but what a great location on the Manatee river in a boat marina! We luckily got 2 seats at the bar & had wonderful service from Cookie. We shared peel & eat shrimp, wings, & sliders & all the food was fantastic. Our drinks were made well & we liked the environment. Definitely will be back for sure. Great menus! Plenty of parking available!

Disappointed with the fish (grouper) tacos and provided a picture of how little fish and slaw was in the tortilla. I pushed what was in the taco to one side and it left half the shell empty. I was able to eat the taco in 2-3 bites. We prefer to eat outside in this establishment due to the noise and lack of acoustics inside.

Loved the live music and drinks!

Yes we are locals to Palmetto, with that being said, there's plenty of options when it comes to restaurants. This by far, is our go to spots always! from the amazing manager Michael to the many staff members and bar tenders. And when it comes to the menu, i can promise you every item on this menu will have you coming back for more. Yes best in town all around.

We asked to sit outside to listen to the live music, but they didn't have anyone. Odd for a Saturday night when advertised as live music. But still a great time with friends and good food.

Best steak I have had in a long time.
