    Food is too expensive for poor quality of the meal, the presentation and taste was subpar. Our first visit was much better, will not be returning for a while. I would recommend for a drink or for the view, but not for the food.

    Service was slow. Slow. Very slow. Had to ask for coffee, bread, water refills, the basics, and when we told her we would want another bottle of champagne, she never checked back. Food was good and priced well. But the service was really mediocre.

    Your weight or gave us superior service! Very nice and professional guy, please send him or thanks! The only issue I had was that the entree was the grouper special and when I received it it was very very dry! So drive that I can only eat half of it. I should have sent it back but I just didn't want to cause any waves.

    Terrific location. Good service. Good food. ~$130 (including tip) for two entrées and three drinks. Probably as as good as it gets in the Bradenton city area (unless you want to pay twice as much over at château 13, with a poor location).

    Our first visit to Pier 22 exceeded our expectations! Staff was incredibly professional, especially Ashley, and we plan to return every year on vacation. Warmly welcomed we started the evening with a perfectly cooked calamari and fresh tuna appetizers plus a well-made Old Fashions. Our main courses were absolutely delicious!! If you like a tuna steak, the wasabi encrusted tuna is a treat and the sea scallops melt in your mouth. Finally we shared the chocolate mouse dessert which was also amazing. We look forward to our next visit and thank Pier 22 for an excellent experience!! Michele

    We are elated to hear our team exceeded your expectations! We hope to see you back our way soon and we will be sure to let Ashley know she gave you exceptional service!

    Good waiter and service. Very few gluten free choices except for entree, and we were there for lunch. The sandwich portion of the fish was served with vegetables and no bread. The piece of fish was very small for the price, and neither the fish nor the mixed vegetables were seasoned. My guest was very disappointed. The burger and chicken tenders were o.k., but nothing special and I could have gotten them anywhere...and cheaper. This was probably my 10th visit, but I may not return. This is the second time that we have been disappointed.

    PIER 22Responded on September 18, 2023

    It's always our ultimate goal to provide an experience worth remembering here, so we're disappointed knowing your visit was less-than-stellar. We have over 17 gluten friendly items on our lunch menu including all of our flatbreads. We hope get another opportunity soon to earn that last star from you, Margaret.

    What an incredible dinner we had! First let me start by saying it’s so nice walking in and having hostesses that are smiling and upbeat! I didn’t get one of the girls name but she had red curly hair, she was so pleasant! She helped me out so much! I definitely miscounted the number of people and she didn’t miss a beat with fixing a problem right away with a great attitude also! Then our server Kirby was outstanding! Never let our glasses go empty and great service! The food, which I had prime rib was so delicious!!! Food also came out very quick. The restaurant also accommodated me by letting me set up the table for a surprise bachelorette party. All in all it was a great experience!
