“We had a great waitress. Our food was delicious. We sat in the bar area for their 3:00 specials for bar foods and drinks. It was a lot noisier than expected. The Seasons 52 at UTC is quieter and cozier in their bar area. No matter what it's one of my favorite restaurants and I purchased gift cards for my grown children in Michigan who also love Seasons 52.“

“My wife and I visited Oyster River Rooftop for Valentine’s Day, and overall we had a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is located at the Marriott Hotel & Spa in Palmetto, which really impressed me. The hotel itself is beautiful — easily one of the nicest properties in the area. I also appreciated the added touch of checking in with staff before heading upstairs, since a badge is required to access the upper floors. It definitely gives the space a more exclusive feel.

The restaurant is small and modern — more of an upscale rooftop bar atmosphere that also serves dinner. We were seated outside and enjoyed a wonderful view of the river, which made for a great Valentine’s setting. There was a duet playing live music, which added energy to the evening, though in a smaller space with minimal sound-absorbing decor it felt a little loud at times.

The hostess was very nice and welcoming. I had to smile when she gave “Monsieur” her best shot — I work for a French-based company and speak a little French myself, so I notice those things — but I appreciated the effort to create an upscale ambiance.

Our server was congenial and accommodating. He happily made me a Sangria even though it wasn’t on the drink menu, which I appreciated. His personality leaned more casual than what the restaurant seems to be aiming for, but his friendliness was genuine and well-intentioned.

For food, we started with the Grilled Octopus. It was very tender, though I would have loved a bit more bold flavor. The main courses, however, were outstanding. I had the 16 oz Ribeye with Za’atar butter — cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was equally excellent. We skipped dessert as nothing quite jumped out at us, but we left very satisfied with the meal.

All in all, it was a lovely evening with excellent food and a beautiful setting. With a little refinement in front-of-house polish to match the quality coming out of the kitchen, this place could truly hit the high notes. We would absolutely return — especially for the ribeye and the view.“

“Delicious food friendly attentive service ! Big menu many mouth watering choices!“

“First time there great atmosphere great service thanks to Kayleen great smile and can give you great advise on menu keep smiling??“

“Don’t let the run down outside appearance fool you. This is a hidden gem. Very fairly priced with an absolutely massive buffet and huge selection down to a bunch of flavors of real ice cream. Service was exceptional. Interesting to see that the wait staff of Asian descent are culturally more respectful and attentive to their work than our local youth of today. What this says for our Nation I can’t say for sure, but you can still get a womping, tasty, and fairly priced meal at this great bradenton Chinese buffet. The inside is very nice as well, seating and ambiance. Clean, good food across the board.“

“very nice people and sea food was great, the lady at the window was so sweet“
