Nestled in the Mangroves this resturant was a pleasant surprise. Found it on Google maps looking for something different on the water. Food was very tasty. The smoked fish dip was very good with a touch of spiciness. My fish sandwich was tasty. My husband had stuffed shrimp with crab meat with little filler. Reasonable pricing. Their waterview is a small area of water surrounded by mangroves. Saw a small alligator and some snook. Will put on must go back list.Good afternoon Klordh. Thank you for the 5 star review. My name is Sybe and i am the new General Manager and Executive Chef. We have been striving on a regular basis since i have been here to get this Restaurant back to where it was and better. Thank you again for your review.

We stayed overnight with friends at Sun City Center.we drove to this Popi's (rather than the one in Ruskin) since this has more seating capacity. We were seated immediately and served delicious hot coffee.I ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict with hash browns while my wife ordered the Spinach & Feta omelette with a biscuit and fruit (She asked for not much melon).The food came quickly and was okay at best. Fist the good - the crab cakes were tasty and the server chose just berries out of the pot so my wife had no melon to seal with.Also, the hash browns were delightful as was the biscuit!The not so good - the eggs Benedict was a disaster. The eggs were poached hard with only the slightest bit of softness remaining (I'd have rather had fried eggs not overcooked). The Hollandaise sauce was broken (curdled) and tasted cheesy. I'm no a fanatic, but this was not good. My wife's omelette was bland, nearly void of Feta cheese and cooked "well done." Next time, I'll probably suggest Bob Evans or Denny's in Sun City Center.

I ordered the redfish sandwich with sweet potato fries. another ordered the redfish sandwich with regular fries and another the club sandwich.The portions of all were generous. my fish was a little fishy tasting so I needed more lemon and sauce. The club was stacked high and quite tasty. the sweet potato fries where waffle cut and average. The other redfish was consumed without any disappointment.

PIER 22

This sophisticated casual restaurant located on the Manatee River offers indoor and outdoor waterfront dining with an extensive scratch-made menu ranging from sushi, fresh fish, choice steaks, and wild game. Reservations are accepted for parties of 2-300.

Reviewed By Sandtravlr

This restaurant was described as Casual, Upscale Dining. It is definitely worth the extra cost. We had a fantastic dinner overlooking the water. The service was perfect and the food delicious. The menu was large and varied. We started with Pumpkin Colada, which is a fall specialty. It was absolutely delicious. We felt we were having dessert first. We decided to order from the appetizer menu. I had Crab Artichoke Spring Rolls. Very unusual and delicious! We both had lamb lollipops. They were coated with bread crumbs and served with delicious mint sauce. This restaurant is a must when visiting the Bradenton area.

We enjoyed our dinners at this resturant. The servers were not as responsive as we felt they should have been on keeping our drinks filled and replacing the one item incorrectly served. We have not dined inside, only outside a couple of times. Would recommend this establishment to anyone on a COOL spring or fall evening. Nice atmosphere.

Five of us met at Riverhouse this past Sunday for brunch and to catch up after many years. The restaurant’s setting is very pretty with lovely water views. It is set back in the marina, but if you aren’t able to walk the distance they have a shuttle. The restaurant itself is bright and attractive. The Sunday brunch menu of breakfast items, is in addition to their full lunch menu, so there are many choices for every taste. Everyone in our party enjoyed their selections which included the Eggs Benedict, lobster mac and cheese, huevos rancheros, and shrimp and grits. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient, and allowed us to linger as long as we wanted without rushing us a bit. Thank you for joining us and sharing this awesome review with us! We're so excited you tried our brand new brunch menu and enjoyed your dishes along with some of our other popular dishes from our regular menu. Looking forward to having you back and thanks again for sharing!

Beautiful Waterfront Restaurant in Bradenton, Florida on the Manatee River. Enjoy dining outside on the beach or under a large tropical tiki bar setting. The views are great either way. Waterfront dining serving the freshest seafood, steaks and drinks. Vi

Reviewed By kaye f

Love this Bar! Waitress was great ( Hannah) Beer was great. ( I don't do their wine because if the plastic glasses.) I had the fish tacos. They were good ...But... You get about a .5 oz of fish per taco!! Not kidding!!Really, seems like for $9.50 you should get a LOT more! Other annoying factor was group of 20-30 year olds vaping. Hiding it ( they thought)... But blowing out smoke... and passing it to each other and trying to act like they weren't....... so rude in a restaurant where others are eating. Two other couples on outside perimeter were smoking too! The guy with the beard should be more diligent about this. I'd bet he is a smoker. If this is a continuous problem, we will stop coming here. Even tho it is a great Bradenton lunch and dinner place. We always bring out of town company here!
