20 Best Wine Bars near Palmetto

“Brunch! The best! Great service, food excellent. Definitely will be back and it’s local for us...“

“The service, the food, the festive and fun environment! We were here years ago and ate here two days in a row. We had a large party and were celebrating a birthday for this evening. Our server and food runner were both amazing. We ended up meeting the chef and she was phenomenal as well! By the time we left, we had a ‘family’ photo taken with all three staff we met. So thankful for the fun night! Will definitely be back!“

“I celebrated my birthday at this quaint and unique space last month, and have been back several times since.
Meaghan, the owner, is friendly, accommodating, and a lovely person to chat with.
We have tried just about everything on their food menu, as well as sampled many of their wines. Everything we tried we loved!
We particularly enjoyed the Lola Pinot Noir. As we learned, Lola, is the label of her brother's vineyard in the Sonoma Valley.
Don't expect over-the-top service, expect excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent conversation.
Just love this place! Supporting local restauranteurs is so important. Keep the national chains from absorbing or forcing the mom and pops out.
Cheers to the entire Jennings Provisions team!“

“we are having a 'staycation' of sorts to visit Anna Maria Island Beach, and I have to stay, after walking to 5(!) restaurants and being turned away, this amazing restaurant allowed me and my family of 5 to stay. Not only did they welcome us, Doug, our server, laughed with my kiddos, treated us like we were royalty and made our little staycation dinner- well...amazing. This is the kind of place that makes a city it resides in..PROUD. The food was nothing short of amazing, I am celiac and struggle on vacations, knowing where to eat. Thankful to God, that this chef is gluten intolerant - so I could eat just about everything on the menu. Do not be discouraged..they might not have a kids menu, but that did not stop Chateau 13 from editing any dish they were interested in to make them smile. I thought they were going to make me order another side of 'frites' to go!“

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

“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!“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“Great place with a wide range of cigars to check out. Kim is the best to deal with, knows her stuff, and always makes me feel welcomed when I stop in!“

“My son and I are visiting my aunt here in Bradenton and she asked us what we wanted to eat for dinner. Since my husband typically doesn’t like when I cook or eat fish, I told her I’d like to find a good fish restaurant. :) She took us to seasons 52 and it did not disappoint. I had the trout and it was amazing!!!! The seasoning on the fish, potatoes and asparagus was top notch, and the portions were so filling. We ate until we were stuffed. Matthew was our server and he was so knowledgeable and took great care of us. The room was a little dark for my taste, but I understand it was the ambience for probably more of a date night vibe rather than family dinner. In all, I would highly recommend seasons 52. If I lived closer, I would definitely make this a regular stop.“

“6/30/26 THE BEST! The Flight of Majesty, generous pour wine event, WAS FANTASTIC! Curated wine tasting menu, (6) wines served, with a very tasty, well done, delicious options, wine dinner. Danielle Craig (managing partner), and Amador Monroy (certified trainer of service), sure know how to be successful. A must do again, before it ends Aug 30. Extremely pleased.“

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

“Kate was exceptional as we had 9 women who arrived thinking we had reservations! I had made reservations in key largo!!! Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure if dining at Sophie’s, in Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota. What an amazing experience. The decor both inside and outside so chic. We had Matty as our waitress. She was spot on with top notch service and a wonderful personality. We started with a bread basket of assorted toppings, delicious. He had the Tai chicken. Well prepared and perfect with seasoning. I had on of the best burger ever. Cooked and seasoned perfectly at medium rare with tasty fries. The manager checked on us several times, a nice touch you don’t see anymore. If you happen to be in the area at the mall, I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. We will be back.“

“La Norma Ristorante & Pizzeria was one of the highlights of our trip to Longboat Key! Every dish we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The Chicken Parmesan was perfectly crispy, topped with flavorful marinara, melted mozzarella, and served with fresh pasta that tasted homemade. The salmon piccata was cooked perfectly—tender, flaky, and covered in a rich lemon-caper sauce that paired wonderfully with the linguine. The grilled fish with pasta was fresh, light, and full of Mediterranean flavors, and even the kids’ meal came with generous portions of crispy chicken tenders and fries that our little one loved.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was cozy, relaxing, and perfect for a family dinner or a date night.“

“Man was a big fan of Ruth Chris on 41 use to go there several times a month until the quality of the food took a nose dive i ordered the stuffed chicken and it was undercooked big time they sent it back for it to come back a second time time still pink in the inside and everyone knows that’s a big no no for chicken and that was just one of many different incidents that turned me away from that particular location.well I’ve going to the new location in Lakewood ranch and boi I tell yeah they reminded me of the good days again chicken cooked to perfection crispy juicy and just down right delicious 😋, crab cakes ribeye and the spicy shrimp perfectly prepared and served every time and I’ve been to this location about 15 times or so haven’t been to the 41 location in years and I hope there doing better over there but I for sure won’t ever find out personally because I’m going to this one every time 🫡“

“Small Italian restaurant. Pizzas and entrees are all amazing. I've eaten in and done take out, always great. Nanna's Longhots- with sautéed hot peppers and crisp potato slices is so flavorful. The meatball appetizer with ricotta and crostini is suitable for a small individual meal. My favorite dish is the Benny's Penne with sausage, mushroom, spinach and creamy marmalade sauce- be prepared to want to lick the plate clean!“

“I had the cheesesteak sub a few days ago and it was killer!! Being from Jersey, it’s difficult to find a good one around here. It was a huge sandwich and prepared perfectly. I would have taken a picture but I wolfed it down before I thought of it. I’ll be back… next time I’m getting gelato!“

“We have never had Thai Cuisine before and could not be more pleased with the food. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent, portion size and prices were great! Highly recommend 🙂!“

“Great place to have a good time !“
