Restaurants near Manatee Springs State Park

Amazing food and desserts, great presentation, phenomenal service, and it was the perfect place to take my partner for his birthday! New favorite dinner place :)

Celebrated our anniversary here. They made it e tremely special. It was a slow paced meal, which we very much appreciated. I had the stone fruit salad, which was delicious, followed by the diver scallops. Again delicious. My husband had the heirloom tomato salad, which he very much enjoyed and also the diver scallops. The whole experience was wonderful. It was a Monday night and the restaurant wasn’t more than half full. Very quiet. Sarah, our waitress , was the most enjoyable person. We had a fabulous night.

Everything was perfect! The food was sensational!!

As always Marks was wonderful. We love coming here! Our server (I can’t remember his name) was spectacular. Never wanted for anything and he made sure we had drinks without asking and checked in frequently. We had the pickled beet risotto and it was spectacular! Glad we went with the recommendation. As long as Marks is around it will forever be our go-to for wonderful food and service!

This place is off the beaten path ,but so worth the drive !! This place is beautiful and the food is off the hook. Staff goes over and above to make you happy. We will be back !!
