Best Romantic Restaurants in Bradenton

By Patrik Pettersson is the most inventive restaurant in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Patrik (the chef) changes his menu every 3 weeks and is always coming up with dishes and ingredients I have never imagined that work really well together. We have eaten all over the world - dining in Paris is something we do on a regular basis - yet, we love being able to eat some unbelievable food in our own backyard! Justin runs the show making sure the courses aren't coming out too fast or too slow. He comes up with the most wonderful wines and always makes dining a pleasure. The staff is outstanding and makes sure we are well taken care of. I can't believe that the foodies aren't lining up for this one. Do not let the location - a hotel near the SRQ airport - put you off. The food and wine could be served in a cave or a fancy location and it would not make the experience any less or more desirable. We look forward to our next visit!!!!

Great experience. Service both at bar and in dining room excellent. Food great.

Wow, never had snails before and they were delicious, I had the roasted duckling. One of the best meals ever. Cooked perfectly and flavors were outstanding. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Going back tomorrow night for dessert and a drink in The Loft! Highly recommend.

Intimate beautiful setting. Excellent food, service and wonderful ambiance!!

Prompt seating through Open Table app. Quaint restaurant on the main thorough fair in Palmetto. We had two couples and started with salads. The waiter was very receptive to splitting the generous sized salads into separate bowls. Our guests had the veal medallions in a yummy sauce and the special lasagna they were offering that night. We had veal parm and their special linguini with porcini mushrooms and Italian sausage. Both were outstanding with generous portions. We were all impressed to say the least. I am hesitant to write a nice review for fear of not getting a seat next time around but they deserve to have their service and food promoted.
