    Margherita Flatbread
    Diane W.

    Outstanding place to host a dinner buffet and fireworks viewing on the Manatee river for our nations 250th birthday!! on their mailing list so I received an email in May, invited my friend and her husband to join my husband and I for this fantastic event. Extremely well coordinated and executed, everything was polished down to free valet parking. Tables were beautifully decorated with flags, red, white and blue carnations, glow sticks, and a fan. Several buffet tables/stations were spread across the restaurant, and I did not get to try everything, but the food I had was. Fantastic. Lots of choices to satisfy everybody's desires. Great special cocktails too. Our server, Alycia, with excellent and as attentive as she could be, as a place was packed. It was also fun to see other enthusiastic patrons dressed up for the event. Seats were arranged on the patio for those who did not dine outside to watch the fireworks, and the city of Bradenton put on a fantastic 30 minute show. Not sure where we will be next fourth, but I will make it a point to stay home so we can attend this event next year

    This is my second time here. Last year we had a much better meal. This time lack of flavor was the issue. I had the grouper oscar special and it required a lot of salt and pepper. Otherwise both the fish and crab meat were bland. flavor. My partner had the blackened ribeye. The ribeye cap was too thin, perhaps because we were there late and the best steaks were gone, but it was tasty. He also was given a generous serving of broccoli, which was a little on the soggy side. The double-stuffed potatoe was good. My daughter had scampi florentine. The shrimp was also lacking flavor but the pasta and sauce were really good. I love the ambiance and would return, since our first meal was really good.

    I had a gift card to use so we booked dinner here and it did not disappoint. We had to wait a little for our server to come to the table but they were very attentive after that. We had calamari that was good! I had fish and chips while my husband had the chicken cordon bleu. Food was served hot and the taste was great! The place was busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated and it was quiet enough to talk without any problems. It was clean and nicely decorated.

    We enjoyed a beautiful view with our dinner. Menu options are varied and we all enjoyed our meals. Crab cakes are made gluten free and was a large portion that also fed me lunch the next day. Service was friendly. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Indoors has a great marina view and was slightly cooler on a hot summer evening than the patio seating with the bay view we opted for.

    Wonderful service with Tania and the food was delicious! The cocktails and food were delicious

    Prime Rib Dinner

    Okay the amount of times we've been here and I've never written a review.. I can't believe it lol! Better now than never! We are local to Bradenton and have eaten at many waterfront/waterview restaurants and Pier 22 is just by far my favorite. Not only for the incredible view (we've even seen dolphins while dining here! ) but also the food has never ever ever let me down. I am a celiac and I've always been treated with care here and have always had something beyond yummy to eat. The New Age flatbread is my all time favorite, it's an order I have on repeat. My fiance loves their Prime New York Strip and Stuffed Jail Island Salmon. We've also enjoyed wings together, so far we've tried Mirin Sake Glazed and Caribbean Jerk.. we're not quite sure which one is our favorite yet. The service has never ever disappointed here either! If you're debating lunch or dinner here, this is a MUST try!

    I'm a regular at this place and last night we tried a few different things. We sat outside on a Saturday night by the water and it was nice. The only thing that was not enjoyable was the choice of music. The music didn't match the ambiance. Service depends on your waitress or waiter- last night the lady didn't fill up our waters enough but she was still nice. French onion soup- no one cared for it because it had scallions in it Chicken wings- were ok, nothing stood out to us French dip- didn't care for Grouper Picatta was delicious!!! Fried calamari - always good (but sometimes it doesn't come out hot)

    My first visit to Bradenton was great! The views are pretty nice watching other guest dock their boats for lunch/dinner. The food was decent, I didn't order anything to rave about but a good meal that brought comfort. My server at the time was newer so she was still learning the foods herself but still very kind and sweet! Would come back on my next visit.

    Wow! Had Dinner last evening. Beautiful place, view and ambiance. Food delish, Mushroom Arancini snd Grouper piccata. Will dine again when back in the area

    As a family, we recently had dinner up Pier 22 to celebrate my dad's birthday and everything from the service to the ambience to the food was 10 out of 10! I wish I could remember our server's name, but his honesty was appreciated and his energy was exuberant. We ended up sitting outside on the patio and it was such a treat to not only watch the sunset, but all the fun and beautiful boats that passed by the Rockefeller oysters and the lobster cargot are must orders! My husband ordered the stuffed salmon and cleaned his plate while I opted for the grouper piccata. It was my first time trying grouper, and I'm definitely a fan.

    Went alone one Sunday afternoon and was sat by the water with a great view. It took a long time to be waited on and unfortunately the waitress was not friendly or as warm as I expected or have experienced in the area. I ordered off the happy hour menu, had a Paloma and some kind of crab appetizer that had some bits of shell in the middle, nothing was done to rectify this or even an apology given but I didn't make a big deal about it either. I had a cup of clam chowder and it was incredible. Nothing needed to be changed there, the fresh bread that was brought was also a nice touch. Probably wouldn't return just due to the high price and unfriendly/ lack service but everyone may have a different experience.

    The food was delicious and Stacey was a great help. She knew the dishes and steered us in the right choices. When you have delicious food and great service that equals definitely a return visit to Pier 22. The crème brûlée was so smooth and just the right amount of sugar! See you next time!

    Chicken penne pasta - $26
    Candice F.

    I came here for the water and the view, which is amazing. I opted for the crab cakes (broiled and served with a Creole remoulade, and extra vegtables - $34) and my colleague ordered the chicken penne pasta ($26). I guess I should have paid attention that the crab cakes were broiled -- I prefer mine pan fried with a crunchy crust on the outside. Broiled made it more like catfood, unfortunately. At least the service, the view and the atmosphere was nice!

    So I wanted to come here - I don't usually write reviews - and also for concept I'm a Chef -…read more My husband and I (locals) ended up at this restaurant at 11am on a wednesday and went upstairs for drinks and a pizzas The OLD FASHIONED was amazing but we ended up waiting an hour for our pizza by which time we had finished our drinks I asked the server if we could get a comp drink since we didn't want to buy more drinks for our pizza THEY COMPLETELY DELIVERED - within seconds I had a new Old Fashioned and my husband a beer - to the point I tipped both the bartender and server in cash!! The PIZZA as usual was beyond outstanding When I got home I called the Manager to let her know how awesome her staff were in handling the situation and keeping it special for us (we are both retired on pensions so we don't got out that often) Not only did she thank me - she told me there would be TWO free pizzas for us the next time we came in and was so sweet and kind What could have become a bad situation was made better and better and we can't wait to go back I loved this restaurant for the food and the amazing view and it really is a treat to go there - now they have my complete loyalty!!

    Beer wall has been consistently great with selection. Food at the downtown Bradenton location is…read moreconsistently average at best. I come back for the beer and pizza, probably not again though. Three strikes on gummy somewhat flavorless pizza means I will still go the University location, the view from Bradenton does not make up for the food there.
