Best Brunch Restaurants in Bayshore Gardens

This is our 4th year in a row having our Thanksgiving meal at The Columbia. We really enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner and the pitcher of sangria. However, this was the first year my husband wasn’t able to swap one of his sides for something else. He was cut off immediately when he made the request and was told no. It kind of dimmed the mood for a moment…as we were used to them always so accommodating to us in previous years. It was such a shame, they chose to waste some of the food over letting a customer get what they want, but oh well. Overall, everything else was perfect. We will definitely go back next Thanksgiving and continue our tradition.

Excellent service and nice ambiance. Food was delicious and came out quickly despite being very busy. Will definitely return

Always enjoy The Grillroom at the Ringling Museum. Food, Service and ambiance are all extraordinary. Our server Betty B was terrific and the meatballs on a bed of polenta with a side salad was almost more than I could eat. My lunch partner had the Tuna Nicoise, which was equally delicious. Dining on the outdoor terrace was especially nice.

We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day on Pier 22’s fabulous patio on the river. My 2 friends and I were celebrating our 70th birthdays together. Our lunches were truly delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We loved our delicious Peach and Blackberry Sangria’s. Topped by the views on the water which are so serene. The restaurant treated us to an excellent piece of birthday cake which was excellent and so pretty. Thank you Pier 22 for making our 70th birthday celebrations very special!!

Fabulous for lunch! Great menu, food, and service.
