Manatee Island is a delicious bar and grill in downtown Fort Pierce, owned and operated by couples Richele and Michael Politano and Elida and Paul Gonnella since 2010. The colorful, casual restaurant serves up lunch, happy hour, dinner, and late-night service daily in dining rooms overlooking the beautiful Fort Pierce Inlet on Hutchinson Island. High-quality land and sea entree options include New York strip steak, Bayou Stew-style jambalaya, mahi mahi fish tacos, jumbo lump crab cakes, and three-cheese lobster macaroni and cheese. A full menu of gourmet burger options is available throughout the day, along with clever shareable gastropub-style appetizers. The restaurant's tiki bar serves up tropical cocktails throughout the evening hours, while its performance area showcases live music Wednesday through Sunday evenings.
