- KKathiTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️More infoDry Dock Waterfront GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Longboat Key•4.8
- BBrendaIowa •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were seated promptly and our server, Terri, was a hoot! We had fried mozzarella, which came in large wedges rather than sticks. For entrees, my husband had lasagna, and I had chicken parmigiana. Both excellent and huge servings (we each brought home enough for another meal). Terri made the evening with her good humor and great service.More infoVentura's Italian Kitchen & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Italian• Bradenton Beach•4.5
- TTom - LindaWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was delicious & portions were generous. Service was perfect & friendly! Food prices were reasonable (for the great quality) but drink prices were pretty high. We sat out on the patio (on the parking lot side). The music was a bit loud, which made it difficult to hear conversations with our guests. We probably should have just asked our server if she could turn it down a bit, but didn’t think to do that. Overall, it was a great dining experience with an easy solution…talk louder & drink less ;)More infoTripletail Seafood & SpiritsPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Sarasota•4.8
- TTrentTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWaitress was phenomenal! Sadly forget her name. We had reservations right at sunset, they were completely packed and still got us in right on time. Drinks were ok but to be fair we each tried “out of the box” options for ourselves so we when we return we’ll be giving those another shot. The grouper sandwich was right hand to god one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve had in my life. I’ve written 2 reviews my whole life but that sandwich alone made me want to express my gratitude and appreciate for the beautiful staff and crew at this location. Will be returning !More infoBeach House Waterfront RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Bradenton•4.5
- JJohnVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •2 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.More infoMar Vista Dockside Restaurant & PubPrice: Expensive• American• Bradenton Beach•4.6
