"This place is amazing! I enjoyed every moment while I was there! I have heard of this place and have one near me but because I went on a day trip to Bradenton I decided to go here for lunch. We went around 1:00 and there were three parties. I was expecting it to be very busy but it wasn 't. I have been wanting to come here for a while now and decided today was the day. Am I glad it was. I took pictures with Mr. And Mrs. Crab. They are so cute! Then we went in. They have a little section with souvenirs that you can get. The lady at the desk was nice and asked if we had any more people coming we replied No . Then the lady took us to our booth. When I got to the booth I realized that the table was fixated with some nice crabby paper. There was a paper towel roll and a big bucket. I was very excited so I got pictures of me with the crab in front of the wall. When we were seated very quickly the waitress asked what we wanted to drink. I didn 't want anything but water. My pal 's got Diet Coke. I ordered the fried shrimp from the something fried section of the menu. I got regular french fries. My pal 's both got fish and chips. It came out very quickly! Only about 10-15 minutes. Then once we got all our food and started eating I was very surprised on the whole entire meal. How could this have been so good. Wowie. I give my compliments to the chef! The culinary team must be working magic back there. I absolutely loved it. The shrimp had a nice crunch not just from the fried batter that was not greasy and perfectly seasoned. It was beautiful and nice. The French fries were out of the town! They tasted familiar but they had a nice taste. It definitely enjoyed every bite! They brought out my pal some refills on his coke. Even offered him one to go. When our total came out I was surprised on how cheap it was even though I knew how much the meal was. Because we spent $45 I was able to ask my server for a free notebook and pen set.Vegetarian options: House salad , boiled egg,boiled egg,hush puppies, fried pickles, onion tanglers, fried cheese sticks, garlic breadsticks, corn on the cob, potatoes, French fries, sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, steamed jasmine rice , beverageKid-friendliness: No designated kids meals seen.

"Ortygia is a work of love in the form of Chef Gaetano's passion for authentic Sicilian cooking, beautiful and artistically executed in a cozy, funky, and turned down to the earth 'Old Florida' Cottage in the 'Village of the Arts' neighborhood just easily occupied from the beaten path of bustling, downtown Bradenton, Florida. The menu is unique and variable and has Sicilian specialties with the Greek, French and North African influences of Gaetano, which blend into an exquisite culinary experience. The interior dining rooms are small and intimate, and not without any sense that you have prepared 've in nonna's kitchen back to the old country with the divine earthy aromas of food lovingly by hand in a small kitchen and even some occasional colorful banters as boss Gaetano, like the captain of a small, lively ship, conduct operations and interact with its guests in a way to a really charming jersey. The staff of Ortygia is also attentive and personal, catering for every need. The guests can feel as if they had become good friends with their hosts, and usually a little Italian they picked up on their way and soon back. On weekends you can treat live music by local artists, and weather permits, courtyard seats are also very extended Ortygia seating capacity. The parking is convenient and convenient and the dining area is accessible. In the season Ortygia is a busy place, and reservations well in advance are strongly suggested. Do not miss this jewel of a culinary experience in the Old World!"

"In our continual search for new and diverse food options, my husband and I came here for an early dinner one evening and we really enjoyed our meals and the service. We didn't have a reservation, which I would highly recommend as the place is fairly small and seems to get busy at peak times, but they were able to seat us at the bar without any wait. Our server was absolutely hilarious; brusque and direct, she made us smile with her biting commentary while being efficient and attentive during a very busy time. We were also very pleased with our food. To start we ordered the pretzel stand appetizer. The orange garlic dip was amazing and the pretzels were soft and tasty. I got the Kaiser Schnitzel for my meal. It was huge and perfectly fried to a crispy golden brown while still being juicy and tender. My husband ordered the beer cheese soup, which he ate every bit of, and the Two Brautwurst, which he said were very flavorful, well cooked, and authentic. We could not resist the Black Forest Cale for dessert, and boy are we glad we didn't. It was moist with good strong chocolate and cherry flavor. The only drawback is that there is very little parking available; we had to circle a few times and nearly left before someone pulled out and we were able to park. We will definitely be back to Edelweiss in the future, though, for the great food and fun service."
