The view was fantastic, the service and food less than average. You really get the feeling that they want you to eat and go, as they have customers waiting. So service was without a smile or interest, and the food felt as if it was being churned out to get as many people served as possible, even if quality suffered.... More

we still prefer the "Lock'n'Key" which is right next door. We visited the Grill a couple of times last year (lunch)and enjoyed it both times, I recall having a seafood omelette, which was very nice - and their sweet potato fries were given top marks (and we have tried lots). Its a bit more formal, and as we tend to... More

Love the food and the view! We have a great time when we visit. The she crab soup is to die for. I also love the apple dessert. Help is warm and friendly. Parking can be tricky on busy weekends.

Well we have gone to this place twice. It was recommeded. It was season and we made reservations. Let me preface this isn't a diner, it's a fairly pricey place.

Even though I live here year round there are many tourists and "snowbirds" that frequent this lovely restaurant, but the food, views and service are well worth it.

It has always been the kind of place where you took out of town visitors or went for special occasions. It is lovely inside and the... More

We use to go there at least 1 time per week. The owners NEVER even acknowledged our presence. The last time we went we were given a simply awful table, and we asked to move. the hostess started yelling at us and we left. One of the waitresses actually tried to stop us to apologize for the hostess. That says... More

Went here with friends and found it to be a nice experience all around. We have tried to go in the past but did not have reservations...mistake! So..this time we got our act together! We requested a 4-top in the bar area because we wanted to socialize. The customers were mostly in their 50s and up but they were a... More

Our family was visiting us at Manasota Key. We decided to go to The Gulf View because of our past experiences. The view was just AMAZING! The waitress was very nice. Food came out efficiently. Everything was prepared perfect. All together it was a perfect place to go with many different choices for everyone in our family.
