enRich Bistro

The food was delicious, the staff was wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier. I look forward to going to EnRich more often. They are perfect for anything from a business lunch to a special occasion for dinner. I LOVE that they use local produce and ingredients. Rich has a stellar menu and the ambiance is perfect.

Always great food. I had the cowboy bone in ribeye and it was unbelievable! The service was outstanding as usual.

WOW!!! Best Mothers Day Brunch ever. My daughters were very reluctant to go to Mothers Day Brunch as it’s always a disappointment, boy were we all surprised. Amazing food, amazing staff!!!

Always great food and friendly staff. It’s more than a great meal, it’s a fantastic experience.

The single best restaurant in Manatee County. Puts Dereks to shame. As good as most New York City restaurants.

Words alone cannot describe the food and the service. A GEM!!!

Having moved here from Boulder, Colorado, a foodie mecca and having managed restaurants for 28 years, I was so looking forward to dining at enRich. But, I simply cannot afford to try it again. I went for lunch on Friday, a couple weeks ago. At the suggestion of the professional, friendly and attentive waiter, I tried the pulled duck sandwich and had a bloody mary. Both the sandwich and the drink were delicious, the service great and the atmosphere pleasant. But the cost of the sandwich and the one bloody mary (made with house vodka) was $ 30. I just cannot justify spending that for lunch.

This place is a favorite spot for my family and I on Friday nights. There hasn’t been a thing that the four of us have ordered and not liked. The ambience is that of a very nice restaurant but also managing to be very friendly and welcoming. The service is really impeccable and the owner will always stop by your table to see how everything is if he is in the restaurant. Start with their calamari salad and take advantage of their cocktails– if you sit at the bar they have small bites, which are fun to try and not too tough on your wallet.

1^st time at this restaurant. We had the shrimp and grits as our entrée which was delicious. Our dessert was homemade cheesecake which was wonderful. Nice atmosphere, good service and super good food! We’ll be back!

Visiting the area and found this wonderful restaurant. I had the mahi mahi which was delicious and my mother had the steak special. Both were excellent. The wait staff was also wonderful.

Love this place! I’m a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and always appreciate delicious, creative cooking. I came here with my family. I ordered the Thai pork tacos. There were layers of flavors that were enjoyable! My husband ordered the Bento box and loved it! The duck potsticker appetizers that we started with, were so incredible that my 11-​year-​old daughter said she would just order that next time! Our picky son, who never eats anything, thoroughly enjoyed the chicken tenders. The waitress asked him if he wanted them grilled or fried, which makes me believe that they make them à la minute. Great Bloody Mary’s!

Great food! I attend a ladies lunch on a monthly basis and always look forward to dining here. Attentive staff and a talented chef make this a great experience.

We rented the private room for a large family birthday party and the experience was perfect! Our waiter, Chris, was exceptional. He kept up with everyone, was always on top of our needs and was very helpful and friendly.
The private room was perfect for our size group (about 20+) to enjoy a dinner and birthday party away from everyone else. We gathered around for drinks before, sat at one large table for dinner and then even opened gifts /​had dessert and the space worked out well.
The food was superb! I was really impressed even with just the traditional caesar salad — it was SO GREAT. Loved the chopped lettuce and perfect amount of dressing and cheese etc. The scallops were some of the best I’ve had! They were huge and came with a delicious «rice» type garnish in the middle that was equally as good.
Overall I was really impressed with enRich. I always love local places that are doing things right /​really well and this is one of those places. Thanks to the staff that made our evening great and thanks to the cooks who were top notch!
Definitely try this place if you’ve never been.

My family has loved Enrich since it was Ezra back in the day. We now love Enrich even more. The quality of the food is always above and beyond. The service is wonderful and they always have some great pandora stations playing! While everything we have tried here is excellent my favorite item on the menu is the Calamari Salad. Wow. There are no words except wow. There is nothing like this salad! The wasabi vinaigrette is the best salad dressing I’ve ever had. I think I would drink it. It has a kick without being spicy or overpowering. The calamari are always perfectly crisp and full of flavor. Enrich is one of our favorite lunch spots in town!!! You must try this salad! (And everything else, of course!)

I’m not a reviewer but this gem of a restaurant deserves my time to write one. As a relatively new resident of Northwest Bradenton, after moving from Pittsburgh which is very foodie, I was craving a place like this. EnRich is an amazing restaurant that offers nice ambiance, a really creative menu, excellent service and the food is to die for.
On our first visit, the three of us started with the tempura asparagus and gouda appetizer. The tempura breading is so light and the dipping sauces are a perfect accompaniment. This is a very good appetizer and I can’t wait to work my through the other other apps that I saw as they passing by for other guests in the restaurant.
We move on to salads and from there we each ordered our own entrees. I had the fried chicken. Don’t think boned meat with skin. Think organic chicken breast. A double breast that is split but not separated. It has a light batter and it’s finished with honey truffle butter. OMG it is a AMAZING. The truffle is very light and almost undetectable which is great for me because I’m not a big truffle fan. I can keep going on and on about this dish but you just have to try it and find out how perfect it is. This dish comes with mashed potatoes and a bacon kale side. The kale is really amazing! The other two that joined me had the shrimp and grits, which he really raved about and our vegan friend ordered the vegan plate. She loved it and she was so happy that we took her to a place to appealed to all types of eaters, including vegans.
The service was great and the evening moved at a perfect pace. We never felt rushed but we didn’t have any long wait times either.
I’m embarrassed to tell you that we’ve been back twice more this week. That is three times in one week (Saturday, Wednesday and Friday). Everything was very consistent all three times.
The first time we did not start at the bar but we did the second time and that’s when we found out about their happy hour. First, their «well drinks» really aren’t «well liquors». I had a Bombay Gin martini for $ 5.00. That is ridiculously cheap and it was very good. The bar tender (Jason) is a really cool guy. You can tell he has his regulars that come in. He already knows our names and remembers what we like to drink. When we sat down for dinner, on the second visit, he brought me three samples of different red wines to try because he heard me say that I wanted red wine with my dinner.
I won’t belabor this by going through all of the things that we ate on our second and third visits but I do have to tell you about the Beef Filet we ordered. WOW… we called this the «marshmallow steak». It is so soft and so tender. The flavor is amazing and at $ 32 (including your sides), the price and quality cannot be beat (way better than any steakhouse I’ve ever been to).
Since then, the Chef /​Owner came out to meet us. His name is Rich. Super nice guy and young entrepreneur. You can tell he really enjoys pleasing his customers with high quality and well thought out meals.
I just want to say that this place could appeal to tourist and locals. For the locals, you will be remembered and appreciated each time you visit. For the tourists, you won’t find a better meal (trust me, I searched and searched).
A big thanks to Rich, Jason (the bartender), Pauline (our server) and Jamie (front end manager) for being so friendly and creating a great experience for us.
Lastly, we all know it’s impossible to get all great reviews. Overall, from a review standpoint, this place is doing really well for just having 14 reviews (mine will be the 15^th). Obviously, my experiences have been perfect. For the one or two negative reviews that I read on Unilocal,you should go back and give it another try. I own my own business too and I know how hard it is to be perfect 100% of the time. We all fall but we pick ourselves up again. This place deserves lots of great reviews and it is a standout restaurant in Bradenton. The folks that work here truly do care about their customer’s experience and I now care about their success. Enjoy!

The service and environment was outstanding! The food was delicious, came out in a timely manner and the attention to detail was on point. I was pleased to see the owner come over to each table and truly take his time to listen to each customer. The chef (son) too could be seen preparing your food. The bartender, Jason, was outstanding with suggestions and amazing cocktails.

great flash fried oysters… i’ll go back. fantastic service

Excellent good, great presentation, friendly servers, and a comfortable bar area. Tablecloths, and just fancy enough to be comfortable.
This restaurant is located behind the Dunkin Donuts store on West Manatee, kinda hidden away, but worth trying.
I surely made it a regular on my restaurant rotation in West a Bradenton.

Made another trip worth mention to EnRich. Food was excellent and the service was on par with the Ritz Carlton. Ricki was our server and she was amazing! I would reccomend asking for her. Excellent food great ambiance.

Beautiful ambience. Came here for the first time. Had the portobello and asparagus tempura and the «carrie pop» speciality cocktail. Sat at the bar with jennifer, who seemed a little flustered, but she was quick and attentive. And she was very nice. Would definitely return to give dinner a shot.

We had our office Christmas party at EnRich bistro tonight. The drinks were never empty, the hors d’oerves came out hot, fresh, and delicious, and the service was outstanding. They even accommodated my food intolerances (no gluten, dairy, or soy)!!! Super impressed with everything. I’ll be back VERY soon! Can’t wait to try the ribeye with seasonal, local veggies!!! :) thanks, EnRich!
