“My husband and I ate at Ferraro's on January 28th at 5:15pm. Our waitress was Ronnie. She was a good waitress but we would have liked her to smile. She acted like she really did not want to be there. On the other hand, Emma came over to our table to check to see if we had gotten all our food and if we needed anything else. She had a super personality and I personally asked if she was an assistant manager. She said no. She went over to several tables to check to see if they were happy with everything. Emma made our night. We are glad that you have a person like this who enjoys work working here. Our compliments to Emma!!!! Food was delicious as usual.“

“Great food and Excellent service!“

“Why 25 characters? Good food!“

“I’ve been here so many times I’ve honestly lost count. This is quite literally the best quick serve Chinese restaurant in the area. Their General TSO chicken is amazing and so is their sushi. What really sets this place apart from the rest is the freshness and quality of the chicken they use. The chicken pieces are huge and you can tell it’s totally fresh and not frozen. If you frequently do take out Chinese food and haven’t tried this place then you’re in for a treat. Just about every other take out Chinese restaurant seems to use the same type of chicken - excess breading, small pieces, rock hard crunchiness, etc. The Rice Bowl is truly a breath of fresh air - it’s always fantastic well cooked and you always get a full piece of chicken. Just the right amount of breading and you never feel like you’re biting into a solid piece of breading. Keep up the good work and don’t change a thing! :-)“

“Really good food, I recommend“

“First visit late February 2026. Stopped in just after 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday and found plenty of tables available. There were at least four or five tables full of guests. Service was quick. I ordered Thai Basil with beef and it came with coconut soup and a fried egg roll.“

“I recently visited Wicked Awesome Ice Cream in Lander and had a really positive experience overall. The space itself is charming — I loved the dedicated toy area for kids and the soft jazz/classical music playing in the background made it feel upscale yet comfortable. The staff were friendly and the flavors were imaginative and well-done; you can tell they put care into what they’re serving.

My only caveat is that I felt the price was a bit high for the quantity of ice cream I received. It didn’t quite match my expectations in terms of portion size for the cost. If that were a little more generous I would absolutely rate it a full five stars.

In sum: a fun, unique ice-cream outing — great ambiance and service — just slightly pricey for the amount served. I’d happily go back, especially if they decide to bump up the portion a touch.“

“Happy to find this wonderful place, we have been often and every meal was delicious, good service & the specials are delicious“

“Just had a delicious lunch at Geckos on SR 64! Food was delicious, service (Alexis Stamper) and watching the manager (or whichever position he holds) Scott. I watched him speaking to patrons, helping servers etc. He was all over the dining room participating. Great job, y'all!“

“Excellent food and excellent service!!“

“The Hunter’s Schnitzel was amazing! I got it as veil w/ sauerkraut as a sub for the noodles. I finished my meal off with a fresh warm pretzel. If you get to choose a night to visit; on Thursday night you’ll get amazing music to lift your spirits while you commune with your family.“

“My favorite place for breakfast. Have been many times and will continue. We tell all of our friends they need to go!“

“Excellent food! Awesome service 👏 The atmosphere was very nice!
Our waiter knew that I didn’t like mushrooms and took it upon himself to exclude them in my soup 🍲 I wish I would have gotten his name but he is definitely an asset to your restaurant.“

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My total dinning experience was amazing. The only thing they should change is the music, it's an Italian Reztsurant it should be Italian music“

“The young lady at the counter was very friendly and the donuts are outstandingly delicious!!! I highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“

“Stopped by for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. Great vibe and fantastic food.“

“My wife and I came to the Ellenton area on our honeymoon. Her local family reccomended we check out Woodys River Roo. It was our first stop and the only repeat stop during our week down here. We went to "The Roo" on three separate occasions and loved each one. The food was great, the view of the manatee river was very nice, but the friendly hardworking staff was the cherry on top. They all really seemed to love each other and worked together like a well oiled machine. They made us feel right at home and made sure everything was just right. Bar tender Johnny, who I belive said had been employed there for 15 years, reccomended a lot of other great places to drink and dine in the area. They also have a gift shop and live entertainment from, music to trivia 7 days a week! 10 out of 10 would reccomend. My wife and I hope to be back sooner than later!“

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

“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.“

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

“Getting in late, went thru drive thru. The only thing is we tried to order the apple empanadas, and were told they discontinued them. But a friend got them just last week. So if you're just out of stock why lie??
Other than that, food and service were good.“
