For our entrees, I had the seafood platter, my bride had the shrimp scampi. Finally for dessert we shared a slice of the caramel cheesecake. THE ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is on the water with bar seating and white cloth table dining in several rooms. If you're looking for seaside dining Pirates Cove will suite you fine. THE FOOD: Our appetizers... My French onion soup was made like a traditional French onion soup with plenty of melted cheese and oodles of onions. There were plenty of mussels bathed in a delicious white wine and butter base for my brides mussels appetizer. Our entrees... My seafood platter featured a small serving of white fish, which was nice and juicy, two small stuffed shrimp, which were quite tasty, two scallops made properly (not under cooked and slimy or overcooked and rubbery). My brides shrimp scampi featured 5 small shrimp over a bed of linguine. The dish was well made with hints of garlic and butter in the balanced cream sauce. The dessert: Our caramel cheesecake dessert was creamy and rich. THE SERVICE: It's always a challenge for a server to serve large parties, but our server did great. Delivered our drinks in a timely fashion watched over us for any needed refills and clearly explained any questions we had. THE BOTTOM LINE: As always with my reviews, the "customer so what" would I return is complicated for the Pirates Cove. My answer... probably not. Why not if the food was prepared properly, the ambiance was fitting for a seafood restaurant and the service was fine? The answer lies in serving size, price and add on charges. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium meal but Pirates Cove charged $40 for a seafood platter that should more realistically be called a seafood sampling. At $36 My wife's shrimp scampi should have featured large shrimp instead of the small shrimp she received. And, finally, the add on prices which included a 3% service charge and a whopping 21% tip. I don't mind tipping heavily for good service and our server would have probably gotten 25% if it was my choice. However, I HATE having a restaurant dictate what I'll tip! I understand mandatory tipping for a large party but I've never seen it set at 21%! As for the service charge, it was placed on every bill whether you paid with a credit card or not. One of my guests asked if that was a credit card fee (which I hate as well) and was told if he paid cash, our servers would take that fee off. How many people didn't know enough to ask that question, and end up paying that fee when paying with cash?? I hate underhanded trickery like that and discourage it by not returning. In summary you'll have to ask yourself before dining at Pirates Cove, is the food, ambiance and service quality worth the rest? If it is, enjoy. As for me, I'll skip it. There are too many other great seafood places that will provide quality dining, great service and atmosphere without the unwelcome luggage included.

I walked down and had a beer and sat right on the dock. It's a super laid back type vibe on a weekday early afternoon. They carry a lot of local craft beers and had a pretty decent selection.

Opened in 2017 it is a hybrid ice cream store, bar, and coffee shop surrounded by art studios. If you are so inclined you can float ice cream in a craft beer. You can also order off the full menu of the Twisted Tuna next door. They are dog friendly so feel free to bring your pooch. The view of the Manatee Pocket is divine. Boats are docked feet away and you can book a scenic cruise here. I was in more of a beer mood than ice cream. I checked out their menu and saw that they serve craft beer from local breweries like Funky Buddha, Sailfish, Sweetwater, and Big Top. After checking out their $4 drink special menu I picked the Strawberry Berret Draft from barrel of Monks because anything with strawberries is A-OK by me. Unfortunately I was over charged for my drink and it was a hassle to fix it so I let it ride because I was just so grateful to be out by the water, sipping a beer, and enjoying life that I didn't even care. When you order a special I suggest mentioning it. This a super cute place perfect for enjoying the best of what Florida has to offer.

I ordered Rouladen and got something that looked--and tasted--nothing like it. I was told it was sauerbraten, which was... generous. Everything was strangely sweet, from the potato salad to the meat, like someone dumped a tablespoon of sugar into every dish. I was told this is "for the locals," and that explains it. This is German-themed food, not German food. Please don't judge German cuisine by this place. Also ended up getting a hamburger asked for it well done. It was so dry. I can't even begin to tell you how my lips curled in. I think this place probably has senior citizen owners who more or less have stepped away from the business and they lit a bunch of people in there who don't got a clue what they're doing. It's sad. It really has potential here.

Went to have something simple on a Friday Night and the South Stuart Duffy's;s was near empty. Uh-oh. Looked at the new menus and they looked newly redesigned. My wife opted for the Shrimp Tacos and there followed some detailed guidance from our waiter Daniel M. explaining the specifics of the different available sauces ( my spouse is very careful re this subject ) , and when the tacos were served, his advice turned out to be spot on. Home run for that dinner. I had ordered the Grilled Chicken sandwich which was absolutely full of a thick hunk of chicken breast, bacon, tomato, lettuce, cheese and had a separate serving of additional sauce from the one already in the sandwich. Forgot to mention the Broccoli/cheddar soup to start, which was just really well balanced and delicioso. It appears that Duffy's had done some very effective work in addressing previous shortcomings, because this visit will have us returning as regulars.
