Best French American Restaurants in Bradenton

It was our first anniversary dinner and we decided on Lala. The food was exceptional. The staff was very friendly, ambience, pretty cool. I would recommend the duck linguine the Hangar Steak, the lobster bisque and many other things that I did not get a chance to tryWe will definitely be back.

Neighborhood Gem, Amazing Food, Incredible Service HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This was our second time at Mei, we went for the soft opening and were already blown away at the quality of the food and the exceptionality of the services. I expected nothing less for the Grand Opening. The 5 course experience truly was one of a kind, I am still chasing those flavors as I write this. The staff was quick and attentive while remaining at their absolute best. Food was 12/10. My feedback after every course was welcomed eagerly and accepted without reservation (most of it was simply praise or wanting more of the dish because it was so good). Mei is doing something special in this city and I am eager to return for my 3rd trip in the near future. Congrats to Chef Alex and his entire team on the great success that is Mei.

From the moment you walk into the door, you are treated with a special moment. The food was fantastic, the wait staff was impeccable, the sommelier was extraordinary with his knowledge and recommended a fantastic white wine. There is nothing that isn't just spectacular. I had the croquette, escargot, black pearl salad, and the Mandarin Duck. Each bite wias exquisite. The only thing wrong (if I dare say anything was wrong) is that I couldn't eat another bite because I was so full. Be prepared for a rich, decadent meal, that goes beyond expectation.

This maybe my favorite place in St. Pete to hang out with family and friends! Their happy hour is awesome, the staff are welcoming and friendly, and the small bites are delicious! Order extra bread with the tomato bruschetta as it only came with two pieces to go with the tomatoes….which were yummy!
