"WOW, JUST WOW. I don't place a lot on restaurants, but this place is really special. Fresh and healthy option served very quickly in a clean modern room. I have the #4 Spicy Tuna Poke scarf and it can be the best I had in a restaurant for years. With a diet, my meal even came to $16. A bargain in my opinion for the amount of fresh tuna and salmon I was served. I must emphasize how fresh the ingredients were that I was served, it was a very pleasant surprise. This place could be the best secret in a crowded UTC restaurant district! If you like fresh fish and chicken with a Pacific Rim spin, I would highly recommend this point!"

"I ordered the supreme pizza with extra cheese. Unfortunately, the bottom of the pizza was burnt and black, and it was supposed to have 30 pepperonis but only had 12. There were also very few other toppings on it. It was quite expensive for such a bad and burnt pizza. The only positive was that they did add extra cheese. Overall, it was a waste of money and I will not be ordering from Wawa again. Service was take out."

"I love MJ's but this last visit was not as good. My food was not prepared as requested. This is the first time there has been an issue in 7 visits though. Still one of my favorite places to eat in Bradenton."

"My husband and I had a great first experience at this restaurant! We were excited to discover that they offer all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, giving us a good reason to come back in the future. We originally came for sushi, and were pleased to find a variety of delicious options during happy hour. I especially enjoyed the deep fried oysters, which were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of breading, and came with a tasty dipping sauce. I also ordered the tamago (sweet egg sushi) and a tiger roll with mild spicy mayo, which added a creamy richness. The chef did a great job with the sauce. Our server, Ann, was wonderful and attentive. She recommended a tempura cheesecake that sounded delicious, but we were too full to try it. Parking was convenient with a large lot visible from University Parkway."

"Very good Italian crusine. We had a party of eight. I entirely too much of their delicious fresh baked bread. My lasagna entree was large enough for two people. My friends split a gluten-free entree, and they said it was very good. Everyone was happy with their food. The service was impeccable. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options. Parking: Parking is at the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access with wheelchair."

"I have wanted to try this spot for awhile, and I typically will not review somewhere without actually eating the food, but I walked in to this location and was hit with an immediate horrible smell. I am not even sure what the smell was, maybe old fish or something, but it was so overbearing and unsettling that I knew I couldn't eat here. I got a sticky menu from the very nice waitress and sat down in a dark booth to a water with an off-putting taste and had to leave. Maybe it was just that day, but anytime you walk into a restaurant that has that bad of a smell, I can only imagine what is going on behind those kitchen doors."

"It's pretty spoiled, you could almost miss it, but seriously one of the best Italian restaurants we have in a while. The ambience made me feel like I was back in Italy and the staff was very attentive. I highly recommend the bruschetta, marinaramuscheln, and the salmon picatta (it was on the special menu). Can't tell enough good things about this place... our experience was great."

"I didn't know all steaks were grilled by a machine? At least this outback. I choose the Prime Rib (Rare), baked potato, Mac cheese, as an appetizer Blooming Onion!!! It is really to die for!!! And the steak was beyond perfection!!! I would tell everyone to go!!!"

"I wish the drinks were stronger. $3 for 10 is a lot; Salad, duck and drink. Fill chicken feathers! For the first time test the melted lava cake with vanilla ice cream and it was SOO DECADENT AND RICH! I would recommend it very much. Nicole was very cool!"

"We were very impressed by the visit of Carrabba tonight. Levi was great. He made us a great job tonight. He appreciated everything so perfectly and made sure that we were very happy with our meals. We have so much to eat at Carrabba's, unlike places like the Anna Maria oyster bar, which is in no comparison. We actually spent less money here than going there, and we almost doubled the amount of food, and we still have remains. I have to say the management here is the best notch. The manager came to our table this evening and made sure we had fresh drinks at our table, but I also looked at him how he helped the staff by cleaning tables. He was very professional and I can see that he is proud to operate a tight ship here at Carrabba. The whole staff was at the top of their toes tonight and everything we do this great job tonight. Thanks to Levi, we will definitely return and hope to see him as our server because of his demeanor and his professionalism we have very impressed by Carrabba's All In all. Thanks to Levi and the rest of the staff and management at Carrabba on Cortez Street in Bradenton Florida."

"I had an excellent pizza for lunch today at Gianni's. The restaurant has a beautiful Italian look and I was able to easily order from their menu after checking it out online. I was pleased to discover they offered a personal size pizza option, perfect for a single person. The Gianni's Works Pizza I ordered was delicious, although there was a small mix-up with my order which resulted in a slight delay. Despite this, I was satisfied with my meal and left feeling full and happy. While I would have appreciated some communication regarding the delay, I understand that mistakes happen. Overall, my dining experience at Gianni's was great and I would recommend it to others."

"I gave a star, but I thought someone had to work hard. that said it wasn't good at all. the drive-dru line was secured and made it hard to pull in. we sat for minutes in the drive thru line and we wanted to park to go inside! we went into the load, we were greeted by the mülldose area. the müll has stacked itself over everything. the place was full. the line was men's deep. After standing in the line and looking around, I decided “No, we’re from here.” back to our vehicle, we couldn’t get back easily. I had to go to a position to only hold in the same drive-dru line in which I was. which system is that?! do not let me with the “I am important and out of my way” Beemer rider who took with him over cars to get out! I drove mile from my way to university pkway cfa and I am so glad that I did. this load is amazing. the crew was great. one of them held the door for us, the girl who took our order was really friendly. the food was fresh. a board member sanitary tables and chairs. I went after a refill and a worker who wasn't even in the register asked if I needed something."

"A deserved 5-star place! We sat and our waitress was Rita! She came and imagined us and she said she was one of the managers. She was very interesting about the menu and recommend the chicken and waffles! Well, if a restaurant has a secret sauce on its menu, it is usually nothing special. Let me tell you that this place has exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing and fresh. Service was up and beyond, leading way to Rita for example! Very friendly and respectful. How to run a business!!! Clean place, beautiful outdoor seats and even the bathrooms were very clean... Definitely spread the word about this place."

"The food is excellent, the service is good, the price is higher, then you would expect from a place like this, but given the price of everything that is worth in these days eating the ball. The only reason why it's not 5 stars is the atmosphere loud, I mean really loud. There is nothing to dampen the sound in this small dining room, so customers always raise their voices to compete with the next table and the volume just stops. Carpet or noise reducing ceiling would help. As it is, try to go if it is not very busy if you want to have a normal conversation during the meal, or order to go."

"The waitress came by, I asked if Elan soup was vegan. Immediately yes I asked oh no fish stocks sure no no vegan. I pushed a little further as I wasn't feeling so sure: oh so you get a lot of vegans come here yeah everyday ok then another waiter came over to take our order i asked him about the wrong soup . No, they do with fish paste, but I'll check and sure enough, fish paste. So we ordered rice noodles tofu vegetable bowl. And it totally smelled and tasted like fish! I asked what the broth was, such a strong taste. Oh they use potato I never go to Asian restaurants unless they have a clear vegan menu but it was a Sunday night, nothing else open. Hardly anything for vegans/vegetarians."

"I have always heard about the outstanding customer service at this restaurant, but this particular location impressed us by delivering our food before we even finished paying. Their service truly goes above and beyond, and is very efficient. I recommend trying the calf-side salad, which I enjoyed. The chicken sandwich was also impressive, with a thick, flavorful chicken patty that was delicious."

"I'm also not a fan of kiosks that automatically include a 20% tip, which doesn't properly reflect the service staff's needs for tax reporting. If you opt for this proposal, it doesn't really convey what you might intend to tip. Just a heads-up for those who appreciate the hard work of the waitstaff, especially on a busy Sunday morning. They take care to prepare your meals thoughtfully. Overall, the service and branding remain consistent, and while it may be somewhat overpriced, the food is genuinely very good."
