Restaurants near Courtyard by Marriott Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront

The food was great, I couldn’t believe how hot everything was at the table. It was like the chef prepared it right beside me. I don’t know our server’s name, but she had long braids and she was lovely and the service was fantastic. The ambiance was awesome. They had live music and a really great band that wasn’t too loud. You could still have conversation. I would definitely go back there again.

We had the baked pimento oysters for the appetizer, they were amazing. Between all of us, we had the catch of the day which was swordfish and it was cooked to perfection. The jambalaya was also a great dish as was the bruschetta chicken. The creme brulee and tiramisu were also just right. Not too sweet and beautiful presentation. The service was exceptional. Lynn was very kind and friendly and made sure we were topped off at all times and her knowledge of the menu was on point. The best part was the outdoor seating area and the view. Definitely recommend the restaurant and it's location.

This was our second time at Oyster River and it did not disappoint. Charles was a terrific server and our god was cooked to perfection. The sunset views were terrific. I especially appreciated the fact that even though it was Valentine’s Day they didn’t pack people in- tables were nicely spaced. I recommend!

Cute place, but can get loud. Gabriela, Owner/server is very nice guy who was very hospitable and efficient.

Friendly, attentive and well versed wait staff. Great food and atmosphere. Good valet parking. A Bradenton gem.
