One of the most pleasant experiences I had at a restaurant Stacy our waiter was amazing. The food is always excellent. I can't say much more about the place except it is excellent. Stacy suggested the peanut butter pie and Keylime pie and she was absolutely dead on correct and how wonderful they were. read more

This was easily the best restaurant I've ever had. The French onion soup, Thai beef peanut stir fry and peanut butter pie have me in a chokehold. Service was so fast, friendly and elegant. I will definitely be coming back here. This is the perfect place to go for date night or a special event, it's right on the water! read more

Such beautiful views from the patio of the Bay Area. We also got lucky and arrived during happy hour. They make a great old fashioned , very stiff the way I like my old fashioned. I ended up ordering two especially with the happy hour special of $8/. The balsamic chips make for a delicious appetizer and I recommend you order two for the table. The cod fish & chips make for a delicious main course. Our server Talan was a very gracious server and took care of us. I'll be back for sure. read more

Came for the great view and outdoor seating! Cute interior and great seating on the patio next to the marina. Great service, attentive wait staff and was seated promptly! Food was meh, I would try again but avoid the sushi and leave that for a sushi restaurant. My mojito was decent as well. Just was not blown away by the food or drink. read more

Tawny was a wonderful server. She was very pleasant The food not so much. it was very pretty.

Tawny was wonderful! Courteous, efficient, kind. Food was terrific and so is the view!

Our server, Lynn was awesome!!! We had the best service from her. We loved her recommendations! The soft shell crab was to die for!

Service was awesome! Kelly did a great job. We had not been since a funeral reception for a friend 15 years ago. Looks like newly remodeled outside. We ate inside with a view of the Manatee river. I got one of the specials 8oz lobster with hollandaise sauce and Parmesan cheese. I got cream spinach and a half a twice baked potato for my two sides after eating half the lobster I was very full. We did have a bowl of clam chowder with a clam in every bite, it really was one of the best clam chowder around my other half got the other special which was red fish with a lemon butter sauce, which was so good got extra sauce. The views both outside and inside are wonderful and the prices were very reasonable especially for a beautiful location getting there a little early before six. It's happy hour so saved money on cocktails so very affordable will definitely be back for date night. We do date night once a month and pier 22 will definitely be in the rotation. read more

Had our son's graduation dinner here. It was a very nice place, but not as good as I expected. The good things: they took our reservation for 13, they had a great menu with several choices I actually wanted, the drinks were good, the service was very good, and the views are outstanding. The not so good things: several people in our group were unhappy with their meals (duck was chewy and a bit over, lobster was rubbery, Ossi bucco was over-cooked and dry, grouper sauce wasn't traditional, NE chowder didn't taste right, and one of our prime rib cuts came out over-cooked twice). My scallops were good, but the sticky rice wasn't hot enough and the wok vegetables were underwhelming and could have had more seasoning). It was very helpful that they took care of that after we explained the issue. Overall not sure I'd return. read more

Food, ambience, and especially our server Lynn. I just love her. The excellent service at Pier 22 is the main reason I keep coming back. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and especially the view on the patio! It was breezy and very relaxing. The food was very tasty and good prices on the happy hour menu. Never had street corn flatbread but it was very good and will def have again. Had wings and deviled eggs with bacon and stuffed jalapeños which were too spicy hot for me but others enjoyed them. Also the grouper bites! All cooked perfectly and tasty! Our waitress was very attentive and personable! We are already planning our next visit! read more

Our next family food adventure take us to The patio pier 22 located in Bradenton FL with a category of 4.4 and more than 5,471 reviews, this place is perfect for turning a family gathering or a get-together with friends into something special, with a unique view of the sunset and the bay, accompanied by the sound of the sea. Our visit was on November 1st with perfect, cool weather. Our waitress was very attentive and professional. The entire menu and the options she recommended were all delicious, but you had to eat quickly because of the weather. Was a great time high recommended place to share unforgettable experiences. read more

We are from out of town, and the food here was elegant and lovely, and had a very nice view of the water. Our server Justin was very helpful, respectful, and was willing to go above and beyond to ensure that our meal was prepared correctly. Although there were a couple minor mistakes on the food and drink orders, the staff made sure to correct them right away. The fish special was delicious and the recommended quesadilla was unique and tasty. Our toddlers enjoyed the meal as well, including the view of the boats. Thank you for a pleasant family lunch! read more

The food was very good and there are a lot of options. They have gluten free rolls also. Service was okay our waiter seemed very stressed and a little grumpy. The vibe was good and it was quiet with not too many people. read more

Pier 22 is a large well-operated restaurant, with a large menu focused on seafood, but with something to offer for all tastes. The view of the wide river is delightful during daylight hours and the outside seating area is quite nice. The Pier 22 Salad was great and the Grouper Oscar with crab meat over corn risotto and topped with asparagus spears was exceptional. On a later visit, we had oysters (just one option -- they were large and meaty, but not the best flavor), Lobster-cargo (lobster in garlic butter -- excellent), fish tacos (delicious and satisfying) and some yellowtail nigiri (decent, but I'll stick with the regular menu items in the future). Prices, including for wine, are very fair for a high-end restaurant. Service was prompt and professional. I'll definitely return when visiting again! read more

Justin was an amazing waiter,friendly and knowledgeable of the various menu items. The bread and butter was as delicious as he said. The menu and food were incredible as well. Thank you read more

This place has a great view but after many tries we have found the food subpar at best and the service was subpar also. On our last visit my wife and I had the 1976 salads. My wife had the smaller salad and I had the larger one. The only difference was the increased price and the portion looked the same for the large only in a bigger bowl. The salads were awful with soggy lettuce, they were watery, and had very little taste. The waitress seemed put out by having to refill our drinks and was not attentive at all. For the price this place is not worth it. read more

The food was great--Grouper piccata. The sunset was beautiful. Sitting outside on the water during sunset was very nice. But the server, E.........was rude, inattentive and incompetent. Her other guests were treated the same way. It took a lot away from the meal and made me want you eat fast and leave. read more

Will return. On the Manatee River, west of Green Bridge. Huge. Indoor and out sections. Busy. Fish tanks. Red sauce. Warm bread - 70 degree is cool by the water. Good service and very good food. We've Escargo Calamari w/ white sauce Grouper cake w/ white sauce Chowder Mushroom Arancini w/ red sauce All are delicious, except the two white sauces - just too sweet. I asked for their red instead, which is so much better. I also don't care for their butter which is house made with butter, cream cheese, Boursin - tastes good but I prefer the simple butter. The chowder is good but Smith & Wollensky's having had it just couple of weeks ago, is better, not as thick. If I've to pick one in this area, I prefer this one over Oak n Stone. Parking is relatively easy on this Monday night. A great stop before the ballet in Sarasota. read more

I love this place! The food was decadent. We had the starter of balsamic chips (sorry, no pick) and they were fantastic. Our server was on top of it (bringing me another drink without even asking and before I was even out ). She was a gem! The restaurant location is perfect, right along the Manatee River (which goes out to the gulf), and our table view was lovely! They also have a side room for events. My sister and I both had our bridal showers here in the past and it's perfect for those sorts of events. read more

For our second annual reunion, a restaurant called Pier22, located in Bremerton, was selected as it was the mid-point for all attendees. Situated in a harbor, there were views of the yachts and water at just about any place you sat in the restaurant. We were looking forward to the camaraderie that comes with long-time friendships. We were escorted to our table by hostess Kassi who seemed determined to provide a memorable dining experience for us. A glance at the menu provided us with many culinary delights to choose from. Kassi explained menu selections and specialties in a way that enhanced our choices. Her customer service throughout our meal made us all feel special. From the clam chowder soup that was excellent to the flatbread and other menu selections we knew we were in for a treat. What a great way to start our meal. There were rave reviews from all of us as we feasted on each choice selected. I ordered the grouper sandwich, which was cooked to perfection. Kassi's customer service was a real credit to Pier22. They say great customer service starts at the top and Manager Jennifer's has insured her staff was ready to make a visit to Pier22 a memorable experience This up scale restaurant is sure to have you returning on many occasions. read more

If this restaurant was an emoji it would be a whole lot of meh. Extensive menu which the server told us is prepared in advanced and the heated for a number of dishes. Here's an idea maybe less dishes and fresh. If you are into an 80's vibe and ambience this is the place for you. Parsley sprinkles, wedding singer level music and plates looking like they are directly out a Julia Childs cookbook, tick tick and tick. Food ordered. - Escargot - good - burrata salad nice burrata but loads of sickly balsamic "glaze" - shrimp scampi pasta, bitter sauce which the pasta was swimming in - pork ossi buco. Pork was tender. Sauce revolting, potato grim, asparagus sad Service. Took 30 mins to get a drink. So bad we ended up asking for another server who did a good job. They need to teach their hostesses to not sit 6 tables at the same time on one server. Bottom line, many better places in walking distances. read more

Stephanie was our server this afternoon and was spot on! She was very attentive and since we were here for the fabulous happy hour that made a big difference. We come quite often and have enjoyed each meal. Love the blue cheese mussels, meatballs and the balsamic chips! We will request Stephanie next time for sure!!! read more

Great location and a great deck area. The reason for the one-star rating is this: I was in town for business, and this place was only about an 8-minute walk from my hotel. I stopped by at 9:45 p.m. looking to grab a drink. I understand they close at 10:00 p.m., but they had two bars, and both were already closed. It was disappointing, as I felt they should have kept at least one bar open until their advertised closing time. read more

Had a great dining experience here on Christmas Eve. Made reservations a few days before and was pleased to get in. Beautiful views of the harbor from our porch side seating. Finer dining prices in a finer dining restaurant. Lobster bisque was great as was the filet. Prime rib special for holiday menu was also great according to my wife. Kids had children menu pizzas which they also enjoyed. Wait staff was also on point. read more

Chad was a great waiter today and was so charming! Recommend great food!! Pier 22 has a beautiful view if you sit outside.

My husband and I went to Pier 22 last night for our wedding anniversary. We have been a few times before and always enjoyed it as a special place to eat. We reserved an outside table. We were redirected three times where to go for our seat. Not one person smiled at ass oror was gracious about the previous misdirection. The waiter was indifferent. Again no smile, no interest or small talk. When we left, no one said goodbye or thanked us for joining them. The girl on the way out was on her phone. The food is very good, part of what we're paying for is the service and that was very disappointing. We won't be back. read more

Built for boomers this menu is right out of flipping 80s! Just dropped $300 and we are all still hungry. I would assume if it says crabcakes, S plural; it would mean more than one. maybe it was cause it was two dollars off for happy hour. You only get one I don't know. Server was wonderful restaurants a joke. Well, I guess then menu does say one crabcake. For $18 or two dollars off during happy hour so that's on me It's too bad the prices don't reflect the mediocrity of the menu. Enjoy and be bored. read more

We came here on NYE, so the menu was limited for the night but the seafood came out perfectly. Twin lobster tails and a side of grilled shrimp. Creamed spinach was good, but not very creamy if that's what you're looking for. The back covered deck had beautiful water views and the service was great! read more

The service and the views were excellent. Food prices seemed a bit overpriced and we're food was just mediocre. One dish was very undercooked, vegetables or very overcooked. The steak was very chewy. Their prime rib was excellent as where their short ribs. read more

We have been dining here for 25 years any only once was the meal mediocre. It happens sometimes and once in 25 years is saying something. We live in Palmetto and Pier 22 is favorite go to restaurant when we have guest. I have to be honest we do not dine here much in Season as it gets so crowded and we wait and wait and wait until visitors are gone and we have Pier 22 almost to ourselves. Four plus rating. read more

My family and I were visiting from Georgia and chose this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday after it was highly recommended to us. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We started with the shrimp cocktail, but the shrimp had not been properly deveined, which was an unpleasant way to begin the meal. I ordered the fish and chips, and the fish was dry and had a strong fishy odor. Fresh fish should never smell overly fishy, especially at a restaurant known for seafood. The pea risotto was also very dry and lacked the quality we expected. Even more concerning, three members of our party became ill later that evening after dinner. Our reservation was at 8:45 p.m., and the restaurant closed at 10:00 p.m., which made us wonder whether some of the food had been sitting for an extended period before being served. Our bill exceeded $400, making the poor quality of the food even more disappointing. I did speak with the manager about our experience. While she apologized, our concerns seemed to be dismissed because no other guests had reportedly become ill that evening. Unless every guest was personally contacted after leaving the restaurant, it's difficult to know whether anyone else experienced similar issues. Beyond the apology, there was no attempt to make the situation right--no partial refund, no invitation to return before we left town, and no other gesture of goodwill. The one bright spot of our evening was our server, who was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service despite the disappointing food. Lastly, I would also note that the restrooms had a strong sulfur or rotten egg odor, which only added to our negative impression. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality seafood dining experience. We had high expectations for a special birthday dinner, but unfortunately, they were not met. read more
