Where do I start?? Ordered a basic hamburger and fries. Asked for mayo on bun. Nope tomato so soggy and thin you could read a news paper through it. Fries tasted like they were 2 days old. Waiter was pleasant, but never refilled our drinks. My wife ordered chicken croissant. Should has been called and onion sandwich. Her tomato was soggy and paper thin. She left most of it. Way to expensive for such meadocre food. Burger King is far better and 1/3 the cost. 2 stars for atmosphere. My friends left most of their food on the plate. Enough said. read more

First time visit and it was exceptional! The food was done to perfection. My husband had the cod dinner and raved about both the fish and the roasted broccoli. I enjoyed a giant portion of Pesto Crab Penne! Certainly enough left to take home. We also enjoyed their special appetizer of breaded jumbo shrimp with macadamia nuts and honey drizzle. On top of this, Lana was an excellent server. Her timing and suggestions were perfect. Out of the ordinary was that she seemed to genuinely care about our satisfaction. read more

Cool lunch great service at inside bar Always a dining pleasure when dining at Pier 22

We had a nice dinner at Pier 22 tonight with a group of friends! Everything from the food to the drinks and dessert was absolutely delicious. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Cynthia, her service was top-notch, attentive, and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Nice place. Nice atmosphere. Waitress was friendly but inattentive. Friend ordered a drink and told us she brought it to the wrong table so they had to make a new one and it would be right out which is no big deal. But she didn't bring it for what seemed like 20 minutes. Took awhile to get the check. Took awhile to get the change. Then the food. Shrimp was overcooked. Chicken was overcooked. Rice and vegetables were under seasoned. Here on vacation. Ate here 7 years ago and food and service were great. Hope it's not the norm for this place read more

Menu limited. Flatbread tasteless probably because not a real crust. No one there for lunch. This use to have a diverse menu and a busy lunch crowd. Very disappointed. read more

Came here while visiting family. It's down on the pier and has plenty of parking and free valet. It's a good size with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and attentive. We were seated and our waiter was very good. The menu is different from lunch and dinner so not all items in the reviews are always available. Me and the wife shared the chicken penne pasta and the chicken bruschetta. Both were good but forgot pics. My nephew did try the alligator sandwich and said it was very good. The food is solid I wouldn't say great but solid along with location being on water and ambiance it's a solid 4 stars. read more

Good food and even better service from Chad! Nice water view on the deck with gorgeous sunsets!

Cynthia provided great service and my bison steak was spot on! The appetizer of calamari was terrific and my friend even enjoyed a piece birthday cake to celebrate his birthday! BRAVO!! read more

I typically order for pick up - but I am obsessed with their seafood Cobb. It is so good and there is so much seafood - very much worth the money!! Couldn't recommend more - their outdoor area is also very nice for dining in! read more

Great food over the holiday weekend. Excellent service from Jamie as well. Sushi was fresh, and the Hugo Spritz also hit the spot.

Food was average at best. Margaritas were bland and hardly any salt on the glass rim! Asked for a water side table when I made the reservation. Ended up a level up. Restaurant was packed so I didn't mention it... read more

Waitress, Michelle, was fabulous!! Found excellent. Atmosphere was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our early Friday night dinner. Try it, you will like it. ASK FOR MICHELLE! read more

One of our favorite places to dine on seafood with beautiful water views. So on Friday evening we made a reservation for Pier 22 because I wanted soft shelled crab and my wife wanted her seafood cobb salad. We were sat immediately and we decided to dine inside because of a brewing storm. My soft shelled crab sandwich with homemade chips looked delicious and the portion was a nice size. It was also piping hot. My nephew had a cheeseburger which looked delicious and that was also a nice size. But my wife's seafood cobb salad wasn't like it use to be. This is her favorite dish and the only thing she orders. We've been here about 10 times and it's the only thing she's ever wanted because the first time it hooked her. But this visit she noticed that there was a considerable difference. This order she noticed that less seafood on it but the cost of the salad increased significantly. The manager "Peyton" came over and I showed her the difference from pictures I took on previous visits for my post. She apologized and returned back shortly with extra crab meat. Our service was as expected because we usually experience below par service, but we come here mostly because of the food and atmosphere. read more

Cynthia is fantastic! Highly recommend her as your server! The food, the drinks, the location- all Perfect! read more

Beautiful waterside restaurant. They have a good happy hour and the menu has a variety of seafood, pasta, and meat options. I had the Fish & Chips which were that fully cod, tempura batter that is light and not greasy. The Shrimp and Fish Tacos were also good. Jerk wings were good, just not spicy enough for me. Not so fond of the bacon wrapped jalapeño's appetizer. Bacon wasn't crunchy, was cheesy by not a lot of flavor. Drinks were well poured and enjoyed the Martini! read more

Food was mediocre. I had the California roll, very dried out. I've had much better from Publix. My son had a child's size pizza...it was burned on one side and the crust was hard on the other. Not at all appetizing. I would recommend eating elsewhere in the Bradenton area. read more

Excellent dinner! Ate outside on patio . Gorgeous view of the water!! Hubby has tuna steak and cheesecake. I went outside of the box. Lol! Splurged on their Monte Cristo appetizer as my main entree with side of hot veggies. Delish!! Washed it down with a cold mocktail Dockside! Sooooo yummy!! Aurora was such a sweetie!! We'll ask for her going forward!! Thanks, girl!! read more

As always the service was the best in the area from Lynn! I had the trout special and it was delicious!! The view and breeze on the patio is spectacular ! I will be back soon read more

Food quality was superb. We are visitors to the area. I had a Cuban which was excellent. My spouse had Grouper which she said was excellent. I Yelp all over the USA, and recently in UK. Venue is great. we sat outside and that was also excellent. Good wine selection. I am a craft beer lover. Mine was excellent. Service was excellent. If you are in the area I highly recommend you make a point of enjoying the venue read more

This is a wonderful upscale restaurant. The ambiance is warm and friendly and the food and service was excellent! Had a delicious experience. We will return! read more

As of this review, the 3.8 current rating fits. Of the 4 meals 1 was great - tuna and 2 were ok, / was fair. Service was good, views good, would have been better but too hot outside. Expect to pay about $140 plus tip for 4. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but after the experience my family and I had during my cousin's bridal shower at Pier 22, I feel compelled to share this. We traveled from Fort Lauderdale to celebrate what was supposed to be a joyful and memorable occasion. Unfortunately, the service we received significantly impacted the event. Our server, Alicia, was rude, dismissive, inattentive, and had a noticeably different tone with certain guests in our party. While she was attentive and pleasant toward other tables and even specific individuals within our group, several members of our party experienced curt responses, poor communication, and an overall lack of professionalism. At one point, appetizers ordered by some guests came out properly while others experienced delays and confusion with little effort made to correct it professionally. To be clear, Matthew was excellent and extremely helpful. Taylor also attempted to assist when concerns were brought forward during the event, and I appreciate his professionalism. However, the handling of the situation afterward by management was disappointing. GM Nicole Johnson and event manager Hannah ultimately dismissed our concerns and attempted to place blame on our party by stating that management was "not made aware" during the event, despite the fact that Taylor was spoken to directly. They also referenced our party not meeting the food and beverage minimum and guests arriving at different times as justification for why compensation would not be provided. Their exact response included statements that: * the group did not meet the required food and beverage minimum, * guest arrival times created "challenges in pacing and service flow," * and because all food and beverages were consumed, they did not feel compensation was appropriate. None of those things excuse poor customer service or disrespectful treatment during a bridal shower. What was most disappointing was the lack of accountability from upper management after acknowledging that Alicia's behavior was unacceptable enough to warrant a formal write-up and disciplinary action. As a Black family celebrating a special occasion, some members of our party left feeling uncomfortable and treated differently, and that is not something that should ever happen during an event meant to celebrate love and family. I would strongly encourage anyone planning an important event here to carefully consider whether this establishment aligns with the level of hospitality, professionalism, and respect they expect for their guests. read more

Enjoyed another great experience at this unique waterfront restaurant. This is an upscale dining experience that incudes fine dining with hard to beat views on the Manatee River. Food and service is always excellent and happy hour specials are worth the trip. read more

Tamara is the best in every way. She, along with the food are the reasons we keep coming back. Her demeanor and helpfulness are so above any other server we have ever encountered. Tamara is definitely one of a kind. read more

My partner took me for a birthday lunch and the experience was incredible. It started with an appetizer that is inspired by the Monte Cristo sandwich. It was truly remarkable and the dipping sauce paired nicely. I then was introduced to red fish, basically because it was on the luncheon specials. What a great meal. We topped it off with a crème brûlée with coffee and I was floored. If only the waiter was as talented as the chef, this might have earned another star. Since the weather was threatening, we ate inside, but the outdoor option on the Manatee River was inviting. I will certainly pick a receptive day the next time to take advantage. read more

Cailyn was amazing! The food was incredible. We loved the soft shell crab and the oysters special.

Lana was a fantastic waitress. The sushi was amazing! The menu was expansive and there's something for everyone. The restaurant has a great view as well. Would definitely come back. read more

I had a really disappointing experience with our server, Kerry M. She somehow had time to check on every table around us but treated our table like we were invisible. When we did get service, it wasn't great, and she brought me the wrong food twice and mixed things up multiple times. Any time we asked for something simple like drink refills or more bread, we were met with attitude like we were asking for a personal favor instead of basic service. Our sides were also never rang in, which honestly felt on brand at that point. Drinks were barely refilled (maybe twice total), and we were even given the wrong check. The only time she seemed friendly was when it was time to tip, which felt a little too convenient. Overall, it felt disorganized, inattentive, and weirdly passive-aggressive. I get that mistakes happen, but this felt like a full experience in what not to do as a server. read more

Jeremy was an amazing bar tender. His energy will bring me back here again and again. The food was great & the happy hour was a good deal.

A nice restaurant in a beautiful setting with a good menu however, our server Kirby really distracted from what could have otherwise been a great experience. Even though it was later in the night and she only had maybe one other table, she was completely absent seemingly more interested in cleaning the restaurant than attending to us. I had to get up several times for drinks, condiments, and other things we needed after our food was dropped off by someone from the kitchen and she never came over once to even ask how we were doing. The food was good although very salty- it's a lovely atmosphere. It would be nice if they would step up their service to match their prices. read more

Excellent in every way, food, service, presentation and especially Lynn J- exceptional waitress!

We went there for dinner. The view was great, the food was ok. It was a little chill so I had a bowl of NE clam chowder and the jambalaya. My companies had house salad, spinach salad, fresh catch black grouper, fresh catch shrimp, and jail island salmon. The chowder was slightly salty and the jambalaya was salty though with plenty seafood. You've to have a magnifying glasses to find the black grouper. The shrimp was over grilled and tough. I accidentally left my credit card after dinner; the restaurant very kindly kept it safe for me to pick up the day after. Great service! read more
