Rated the food excellent because, "Everything is wonderful!!!" and writes on June 21, 2004, "I rate this Restaurant excellent because it is overall a great place. I visit Sarasota every summer from West Virginia and we go to Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar at least 3 times every visit. I ALWAYS get the Gator and the chicken teriyaki sandwich. The drinks are GREAT! Fun bar and a great environment. I have never had a bad experience at Phillippi Creek. And the view of the creek is beautiful!!" - Mandy, Bradenton
