“Sunny days so brisk and sweet Amores is the place to eat. Miles and miles of sandwiches & smiles. I tried the Daniela special which is truly as amazing as she is. Specialty hand crafted sandwich made with premium roasted ham, Swiss cheese, mayo, vinegar, spicy pickled pepper relish and lettuce. If your looking for a perfect mix of sweet and spicy you have to go see Daniela and the rest of the crew. Don’t forget to grab a variety of delicate delightful deserts on the way out.”
“The food and environments are top tier. However, for some reason their fountain drinks taste like GARBAGE. Is there mold in there or something? The Pepsi does not taste like Pepsi. If I come here to eat, I go out of my way to go to a gas station for a drink, and then I bring it.Fix your drinks, your food is great.”
“Our server Chris was the best. Came back multiple nights just because of him. His insight on different drinks helped greatly. He made sure to always check in on us. The wings were amazing and the atmosphere was awesome. Best bar to go to.”

“So. I recently had a date from out of town. Though I’ve lived in CC for almost 5 years, I’ve never dined here. My date picked the spot. Everything was outstanding! The food was delicious and big servings. I got the jambalaya and she had pulled pork. And her brownie “loaf” was 3 servings covered in caramel. Service A+ And really personable owner Bill, bartender Craig, and entertainer Jerry B. I’ll be back to offer my scotch and bourbon selections to their expanded bar. Highly recommend!”

“The place is VERY noisy BUT the food was incredible. We asked for a booth hopping to be able to have a conversation but still had to speak loudly for even the server to hear us. All 4 meals ordered arrived exactly as we wanted.”
“Excellent food and excellent atmosphere. Service was great and the food is as decorative and creative as the atmosphere within the restaurant. It was a bit noisy even when a lot of the crowds left as there is an echo factor in the restaurant, so it kept it somewhat loud and noisy but the people were very nice. Highly recommended food!”

“It was a Friday afternoon.After my outstanding experience at Wow Wing House, I couldn't wait to return for another delightful meal. Once again, the wings surpassed my expectations!The sides were just as impressive. The fries were piping hot and crispy, while the coleslaw remained creamy and crunchy, adding a refreshing contrast to the savory wings. And this time we had pizza where our server recommended to try and they never disappoint. And we were informed they will be having full bar in few weeks.But what truly stood out was the impeccable service provided by Mohamed. His warm smile and attentive demeanor made us feel like valued guests from the moment we stepped in. He not only took our orders promptly but also went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. His recommendations for sauces and drinks enriched our culinary adventure, and his generosity in offering sample sauces to try was truly appreciated. And my kid was crying for so long and our server Mohamed saw that and ran to his car and took a candy for my kid who was crying, that was a great gesture by him and he made stop my kid crying.”
“Best Italian in Cape Coral and best pizza I have ever had. Waiter was also super nice. We had a 40 min estimated wait time but only waited 5 mins. My big New Yorker pizza was only $12 and was super filling.”
“Nestled in the southwest corner of Cape Coral, Lobster Lady is a well known by locals gem for seafood enthusiasts. During my recent visit, I was met with not only exquisite cuisine but also by the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Nick.As someone with food allergies and celiac disease, dining out can often be a challenge. However, Nick's attentiveness and understanding made me feel truly at ease. He took the time to carefully guide me through the menu, ensuring that each dish would suit my dietary needs without compromising on flavor. You see, Nick himself also has celiac and completely understood the apprehension of dining out.The culinary delights at Lobster Lady are nothing short of extraordinary. From succulent lobster tails to delicate fish dishes, every bite was a revelation of fresh flavors and impeccable execution. Even sushi rolls to start my meal were flavorful and safe for my dietary restrictions.Lobster Lady not only excels in serving delectable seafood but also in providing top-notch hospitality, thanks to exceptional staff like Nick. Whether you're a seafood lover or someone with dietary restrictions, Lobster Lady is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable dining experience.”
“Best seafood casserole in Cape Coral, looks like roadkill cafe outside but the food is outstanding.First place I've been to were you get your own drinks! Thanks Al for an unforgettable experience.You might not want me back but too bad.I definitely will.Thanks Al and ”
“We got curbside pick up. The food was delicious. There was confusion about the address and the time that they close because of what was online. we found it and got there 20 min after they closed. I felt so bad bad but they were understanding and really sweet . The food was so good I forgot to take a pic.”
“This is a great spot for gourmands! I’m so glad we found this little gem. The service and food were outstanding! The Brussels sprouts with sriracha and miso are not to be missed, and the wagyu filet just melts in your mouth. They have an extensive cocktail and wine menu, but I chose the Pom mocktail, and they even made me another mocktail that wasn’t on the menu. Highly recommend Gather - we will definitely be back!”
“On multiple occasions my Boss has bought us food for lunch here. It is always fast service, hot foot, and delicious. Worth every penny and the workers are always nice.”
“Wow! The service was amazing (everyone checking on you, not annoying, just right and wonderful attitudes), the food and beverage offerings are top notch and they taste great to boot! What a gem! I sat inside and they mentioned a lounge. While I sat in the main dining room, checked out the lounge after and also had amazing vibes. Would go out of my way for a visit.”
“Our server Eli was outstanding! Can’t say enough good things about him. Prompt drinks (and refills). Apps. and dinner were out quickly. Eli came back to the table several times to check on us. Very polite and attentive. Will be back again to ask for Eli’s service.”
“Great place! I had a pistachio cold brew that was a little too sweet for my taste but the staff was very kind and gave me more coffee to cut the sweetness, which made it perfect! Everything else was excellent!”

“I am hoping to take a cooking class or two with the nice folks at My Sweet Art. I have indulged at home with their scrumptious eclairs and chocolate tart. I bought one of each and our family insisted the two French pastries be split into 3. Personally, I didn’t see the situation quite like that! But nevertheless, each morsel was savored and enjoyed by all of us. Next time, there will be no sharing!”
“Such a great Thai and sushi spot! The food is delicious and the service is quick, efficient and friendly. The restaurant is clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. We had pad Thai and three different roles and everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely return again. Highly recommended.”
“Showed up with 32 riders - the Lehne's crew took care of us. Had more members asking to go back than any other restaurant we ride to. Some got the double, some took it further, as for me, I go to Lehne's for the CHORIZO BURGER!”
“Busy place, but not too long of a wait. Service was prompt and friendly. Had lunchtime ravioli as did one friend, the other went with spaghetti. Best part is the salad and breadsticks.”

“What can I say about yellowfin, a great time great experience we can bring great friends. Enjoy an amazing atmosphere. The staff is by far wonderful. That’s why we’ve been there for eight months every Thursday. Plan on. Keep doing it every time. Thank you guys so much for indulging us, thank you to the staff for being so gracious, and thank you for the guys who bring out the greatest sushi in the world. Always a pleasure. See you next Thursday.”
“We went last night for our first time to have an appetizer and a pizza. The place was really busy! We were seated within a few minutes, though. We ordered the calamari appetizer. Wow, it was an abundant amount and very good! We also ordered a small pizza. The crust was very good and so were the toppings and sauce. We would definitely recommend going here, just for the sake of the delicious food. However, the service was also outstanding! Our server, Kayla, was so awesome. (I apologize if I got your name wrong!) she had a lot of tables, but, she kept up with them all with a smile on her face! In addition to her great service, we had no less than three other managers stop and ask if everything was ok and chat for a minute or two. They have food runners bringing out the food, so, it’s hot out of the oven! What a fun place! We will definitely be back!”
“We were there on Sunday afternoon the place was completely overwhelmed. We sat at the bar Kyle was the bartender. He did a great job composing himself. He delivered on time never an attitude. Friendly and kind. I asked about our food He went right in the kitchen and brought it out...I don't know if the beer wasn't stock or they ran out but even when he left the bar to get more beer he showed know signs of frustration. He's a keeper.”

“I normally do not post reviews but The Brunchy Bunch truck deserves 5 stars. Brittanie the owner is professional, confirms before date, showed up on time, served Indigo homeowners in a quick fashion and the food was great. They were able to handle large volume since it was a community holiday party. I will definitely be using them again and the breakfast and lunch options catered to kids and adults. Thank you Brittanie from the Brunchy bunch food truck.”
“Food was amazing. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese bowl. It was super good. Service was intermittent we would wait on refills while he was standing write there. Restaurant was super busy which was fine. Overall it was good, would highly recommend.”
“This is the 3rd or maybe 4th time I have visited this location and had to wait over 1/2 hr for my food. Last time I walked out the time before that I waited 1 hr to be seated and and additional hr to get my food. It is as shame they take care of the take out orders first. The only good thing about this place is their sever and cashier. Very pleasant and patient. Food has gone done hill as well. And before you make a smart remark. I have been going to this place for over 20 years and I am a cape coral resident.”
“I'll be back . Love the options that you can't find something that you do not like don't know what to say.Kid-friendliness: Kids get crayons and their menu to cover.”
“It's Everything a McDonald's is Supposed to Be: Like The Rest.But we all know that there's Good and Bad Average. Ty this one seems to follow the Model pretty well. Fast, Cleaner than Most ( I usually go in for late lunch!) This one was actually Breakfast.who Knows what goes on in between?Kid-friendliness: The Little CrumbSnatchers weren't acting up.So; Thats Happy..For my wife anyways...Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp was close to entry and actually nice to just stroll Up & in...ladeda”
“The food preparation is not bad. When I say this I mean the flavor so the size has nothing to do with what is on the menu or the presentation.Kid-friendliness: YessssWheelchair accessibility: Yessss”
“It's McDonald's, so normally service and food quality is fairly standard. This location does a fantastic job with service and quality. Everyone was quite pleasant and we got our order quickly. As far as fast food goes this is the McDonald's to go to!”
“A vast land of mysterious creatures,A menu filled with atrocious features,A clown mascot filled with unnerving joy, The food as healthy as a plastic toy,McDonalds, a restaurant without standard, A restaurant who takes pride in being slandered.”
“It's McDonald's.Clean as most, food as designed and advanced. Same as the Next. One thing I caught on to is the chicken mcnuggets are consistently expensive until you get to forty 20bis about $10 bucks But 40vwss $14 and unlike the fries hamburger and just about anything McDonald's sells. It really doesn't reheat at ALL!The Mcnuggets are The Exception!Even after 2 days in fridge ( tough box!) A quick (I?mean quick) douse of water. And there as good as new. 40 lasted 3days as a side and salad. Lots of uses; It's Chicken!”
“I want to shout out Britain, she has the kindest and sweetest voice, she said Good Morning ( you could tell she had a smile on her face) absolutely positive attitude thank you for making my Sunday morning GREAT Britain!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Lizzie and The Zone Nutrition. As a Michigan resident I get my loaded tea everyday from MC Nutrition and I really missed my daily ritual and seeing my friends. I was very excited when I discovered The Zone Nutrition only a few miles from me. Lizzie was awesome and made my favorite Michigan blend Sugar Plum. I feel right at home.”

“There were so many flavors to choose from! The ice cream was so delicious and creamy. The staff working there were very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend and I’m sure we will be frequent customers!”
“Amazing food! I got the Desayuno Paradise with cuban coffee. Scrambled eggs. And tried the ham croquettas. And the freshly baked bread (YUM)! Try eating the bread with a mouthful of their scrambled eggs. Everything was absolutely amazing. The service. The food. How hot the food was when it came out. Ive never been here, i drive by it every day and support McDonald's and the like often. Its amazing that we forget / take for granted these small mom and pop businesses are here and they make amazing food comparable to corporate ones in cost that are actually BETTER for you because more of the ingredients are fresh. Give this place a try and you wont regret it!”
“The ice cream is all made in house and tastes great. Plus, there are many other sweet treats. But, if you go, make sure you ask about the Philadelphia Eagles. Trust me. Great stories there and in a Philly accent. Is it an accident that Zirilli rhymes with Philly? Give it a try. You won't be sorry.”
“Excellent food and excellent atmosphere. Service was great and the food is as decorative and creative as the atmosphere within the restaurant. It was a bit noisy even when a lot of the crowds left as there is an echo factor in the restaurant, so it kept it somewhat loud and noisy but the people were very nice. Highly recommended food!”
“This is our favorite CiCi's. Management and ownership here do their absolute best to make sure everybody is happy. Seriously I can't give them any more credit and what they already do. They always come by the table and say hello and ask if there's anything we would like to see up on the warming rack or they would make us something and bring it right to our table. Everybody goes above and beyond. We always enjoy coming to this place”
“Went to Keke’s yesterday for breakfast. What a great place. It started with the coffee and the orange juice. Both were delicious. I had the banana pecan pancakes and my husband had the waffle. They were so good. Such a special place to enjoy a wonderful breakfast.”

“Great acai bowls, fabulous atmosphere, friendly staff, healthy treats! Allergy friendly! This place is a 10/10! Rode our bikes here and parked them right on the water.”
“Its is definitely an order out kinda place. The staff are decent but definitely do not go out of their way to make you feel welcome nor comfortable. They definitely prefer Spanish speakers which I am not. Having said all of that, treat me how you may, their food is delicious!!!! ?”
“I visited this location while on vacay and the owners and staff were absolutely fabulous! My acai bowl had a lot of vibrant, natural flavors that didn't leave an artificial or sugary aftertaste. Really wish I had one near me!”
“Awesome owner, 2nd time coming to eat with my husband. I love the food, ambience, & outside decoration (very feminine). Can’t wait to bring my friends for girl brunch dates.”
“this is such a lovely “hole in the wall” restaurant. It has an authenticity that cannot be duplicated or chain Restaurant. It’s probably helpful if you speak Spanish because nobody speak Spanish there but the food is amazing. And the value is incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you want to get an espresso, a double shot of espresso is $2. I ordered the Cuban sandwich is as big as your head. My husband and I split it and took some home. Our son had this amazing dinner that I don’t know the name because I don’t speak Spanish and he took some home so we fed the three of us for $30. And took home enough food for two meals. Plus it was delicious.”
“Great beer and a nice taproom with lots of seating inside and outside. We went there on a Friday evening and there were music and food trucks to round out a nice, laid-back atmosphere.Another highly recommended stop for a (craft) beer person in the Cape Coral / Fort Myers area...”
“I eat here all the time, at all different locations. Chikichanga is the best breakfast ever! Clean kitchen and service is good. Only drawback was I was seated next to the kitchen (Cape Coral location..not open kitchen like ft myers) and it was loud, which is normal and to be expected. They changed our seats with a smile. Friendly staff. Fav restaurant”

“This is a grill with about 6 tables out and 8 to 10 inside. No frills Italian/Mediterranean. Not a quiet atmosphere which we like. I had the blackened mahi mahi lemon caper sauce, rice and spinach. Penne Vodka was very good. More tomato forward than cream which was great. Salad is extra. Drinks reasonable. We will be back.”
“Great people, great coffee, it's inside a hospital. Wish they had a store locally. But their coffee is great! oh, and also, the blueberry muffins are outstanding!”
“The place is always packed, great fast service. This time the chicken sandwich was a little tough but that was the first time. Great chicken soup too. I'll always be back.”

“Food here is always fresh and made with care, I come here often. You can tell that the owners take pride in what they do. I have never had a problem here 10/10 would recommend!!!!”
“A friend of mine and I came to Cape Coral for vacation in March. We visited Rumrunners on a few occasions. It was in very close proximity to where we were staying and with the large menu and drink options, we weren't going to be getting bored with the offerings. The first time we visited was at lunch time. I ordered the White fish appetizer and the restaurants own classic Rumrunner's on the rocks drink. Both were amazing! I loved how the dip came with julienne sliced cucumbers and two cracker selections. We were sat at a marble top table overlooking the channel. It was beautiful, I even got a picture of a large bird flying close to the water. Our server Billie was very nice and attentive. One of the managers named Joe even stopped by the table to ask how our visit was going. All of the servers seemed to be buzzing around happily taking care of their guests. The second time I visited was for my Birthday dinner. We were sat at a table outside down by the water about 25 minutes before sunset. It made for beautiful surroundings for my Birthday dinner. Anthony was our server and while he was busy, that did not take away from the great service we received. One of the managers, Joe, whom I'd also seen on my first visit, came to the table as he had heard it was my Birthday, I think my friend mentioned it to the hostess. He was very nice and accommodating. We ordered the bread appetizer and it was really good, nice and warm and had spreadable butter. I also had the half order of the wedge salad, it was so crisp and delicious. For my main course I decided on the Lobster Ravioli. It had creamy rich sauce and good sized ravioli. I couldn't finish it, not because it wasn't delicious though! My friend ordered the Macaroni and Cheese with seafood. She LOVED it. I also had a frozen Raspberry Pina Colada with a dark rum floater. It was so good and creamy and the raspberry went very well with the Pina Colada flavor, and I would definitely recommend them. After dinner about 5 servers came out with a piece of chocolate cake and sang Happy Birthday to me. It was such a nice experience. They even have a gift shop area with their Rumrunners brand on clothing and other merchandise. I purchased some comfortable shorts and I can't wait until its warm enough back here in Michigan to wear them. While at dinner, manager Joe mentioned that we should come back the next day for the "Rock the Docs" event that they do every couple of months. This time, it was a St. Patrick's Day celebration. My friend and I decided we definitely would be in attendance. There was a band playing from 1p-4p called "American Band" and they put on a great show! There were a lot of people there enjoying drinks, food and music. We dressed the part for St. Pats and had a wonderful time. After the show was over at 4p we went into the bar area and ordered the Charcuterie board. It had an assortment of sliced cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers and thin sliced meats. The restroom was clean and even had a beautiful fresh flower bouquet on the hand washing sink. Another thing I found really cool was there are places to take pictures. There is a backdrop that is perfect for pics and this old black car in front of the restaurant along with one of those oversized Adirondack style chairs. There is also a red old style phone booth. My friend and I definitely took advantage of the props and got some great pictures to commemorate the experience. While I didn't have any children with me, there is an area outside that has sand for the kids to play in. The ones I saw playing there were having a great time. I will definitely be coming back to Rumrunners at Cape Harbour the next time I'm in Cape Coral!”
“My new go to for a very good burger. FRESH ingredients every time I go, and nice people at drive thru. I never go back to the macdonalds on Del Prado anymore as they consistently sell old expired burgers and even though they say they are 24/7 in reality they are not -- they close early morning for a while so are not dependable.”
“Staff was friendly and kind. Concrete mixers were delicious!!!Parking: A little difficult to maneuver but there is mire parking out back that is easy, close and safe.”
“Arby's staff members are simply amazing. They always have a smile on their faces and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great time. From taking your order to serving your delicious food, they do it all with such enthusiasm and care. Their hard work and dedication definitely makes me proud to be a customer at Arby's. Keep up the fantastic job, Arby's staff!”
“I would to really say thank you and im so impressed with Nizaiah attitude.How many times you go to Taco bell or any other fast food and you meet a happy and welcoming associate??? I had a great service from Nizaiah , very respectful gentleman and polite and make you leave with a smile in your face.Thank you again Nizaiah you just made my day and make me feel there is hope in this world.”
“Awesome owner, 2nd time coming to eat with my husband. I love the food, ambience, & outside decoration (very feminine). Can’t wait to bring my friends for girl brunch dates.”
“Great beer and a nice taproom with lots of seating inside and outside. We went there on a Friday evening and there were music and food trucks to round out a nice, laid-back atmosphere.Another highly recommended stop for a (craft) beer person in the Cape Coral / Fort Myers area...”

“Best Pizza in Cape Coral! HANDS DOWN! If you haven't tried their pizza, you just don't kbow! We love going there on the regular!Parking: Parking can be difficult during peak lunch 12-1 pm. Lisa can be seen multi-taasking and works really hard to get everyone taken care of, including phone orders. Great experience for a late lunch, as the parking, and wait lines are not as bad. But who can blame them. Their food is that delicious and many flock there for lunch.”
“I can't say enough about Metro Dinner. Everything we've tried in the last week has been amazing. Food is delicious, food comes out hot, and service with a smile every time we've been there. Thanks to all off you for all you do. Great place.”
“Hands down the best pastries (IMO) in all of Cape, if not Fort as well. Our kids love the occasional "bakery treat" too. They get so excited when we go.The staff has always been friendly and helpful on our many stops in as well.”
“My husband and daughter were in FL in December, my sister and boyfriend took us here. What a beautiful breathtaking place! The beach was stunning and the sunsets were amazing.food was so delicious and service was great! The atmosphere at the tiki bar was relaxing and fun!!Strongly recommend c!hecking thia place out”
“The ultimate rock dive bar! The atmosphere of metal and punk really makes this bar stand out. Plus the different shows that happen here make Ollie's a change of pace from the onslaught of tired sports bars in the area.”
“We've been eating at this restaurant for more than 10 years. Never had a bad meal. Always great service. Reasonable prices. Definitely recommend them for anytime you have a craving for Cuban food.”
“1st time customer, I ordered the calzone and canolis...Lord Jesus above help me, this was absolutely delicious!!!! The calzone was crappy and hot, the toppings were hot and blended deliciously well. The marinara sauce was sweet, tangy with a bit of bite and amazing. The canolis, from the crispy shell to the light delicious creame was the highlight of my meal. Definitely will order again, definitely will tell everyone about this place. Can't wait to go back, even my mom liked it!!!!!”
“I just have to share. We have been going to this place for many years, even when it was a membership bar. We cannot miss even one week because of Michelle and Dave the chef. We are very thankful. It feels Homie and loving. Thank you for being here, Great, if you live locally! We are thankful there is still place to get a seat at the bar in season. The food is exemplary. .❤️”
“So, I ran in just two minutes before closing time as the door was unlocked. As I expected, things were shut down and the staff was ready to go home. But, they were kind and gracious and scooped my single scoop of cappuccino chip. The ice cream was great and the kindness of the staff made for a good experience.”
“Duffys in Cape Coral is simply the best,it’s a clean well run place.2 for 1 drinks all day every day good food and apps and I really got to be good friends with 4 or 5 of the bartenders especially Brendan and Jenny on the outside bar they just rock it,and Kenise inside shes just a sweet girl always smiling and happy and Nikki plays the best music when she’s on.but they’re really all nice people,they work very hard to give you the best fun experience they can.I’m a snow eagle (not a bird) and I’m gonna miss these wonderful people until I return. But if your vacationing in Cape Coral it’s a must stop you won’t be disappointed.”
“Food is good but every time I come in here now, there's a bunch of teens hanging out in the parking lot. Too kids were wrestling and crashed into my car before I could even get out to go into the restaurant”
“Just had lunch here sunday aug 27 2023. Mrs Lisa was awsome . had lobster soup and lobster mac. wife had lobster sliders and clam chowder. all the food was absolutely amazing. we will definitely come back often.”
“Dog friendly on the patio out front. Shade umbrellas and deck chairs. Great place for a quick snack and drink (coffee or cocktails).Parking: Big lot behind strip mall.”
“I recently visited The Cafe Restaurant for a coffee with a friend. My friend did order food. The service and hospitality at this restaurant was outstanding. It is such a nice environment to enjoy a dining experience, and we will definitely plan to return.”
“Went on St Patricks Day and had the key lime fish which was good. Price was also good, and the only reason why I gave 4 stars for atmosphere thru no fault of Mels Diner was that it was extremely crowded. Alot or people and the parking lot was full. Otherwise I was satisfied and would recomend going there when its less crowded.”

First Watch
“I eat here all the time, at all different locations. Chikichanga is the best breakfast ever! Clean kitchen and service is good. Only drawback was I was seated next to the kitchen (Cape Coral location..not open kitchen like ft myers) and it was loud, which is normal and to be expected. They changed our seats with a smile. Friendly staff. Fav restaurant”
“This place is something different…it’s fun, it’s loud, it has pin ball machines and the wing and mozz sticks are delicious!! The pizza isn’t your normal pizza NY pizza but that’s not what they are about. The drinks are on point! Go check it out!Kid-friendliness: I’d say kid friendly early. There is a huge room with pin balls but as the night goes on it’s better for adults!”
“Excellent service, everything very clean, our waitress María very attentive, delicious food and a very cozy atmosphere that transports us without a doubt to Peru. Good choice to celebrate my birthday. I recommend it.”
“Our first visit to Ariani, we will be back. It is a quaint Italian restaurant. Our waitress suggested the Italian margaritas and white sangria. So good. We started with warm bread and a nice Greek or Cesar salad. Our entrees were chicken Marsala, lasagna, and penne sausage. All dishes were flavorful and delicious. And the owner stopped by the table to see how our meal was, very impressed with Ariani.”
“Great owners who are hands on and make you feel very comfortable. Their service expectations are evident in the staff as well. Food was outstanding as this is our 3rd visit in the last 6 weeks. Nicely done!”
“Their oysters are consistently fresh, shucked correctly, and quite delicious. Not cheap but totally worth it if you want great raw oysters.4 stars due to the older waitress we’ve had multiple times now; I live close by and used to go quite often. She huffs and puffs, seems irritated by our presence, and has never had any knowledge about the daily raw oysters whatsoever despite it being a straight up oyster bar. Last time we were there was a little over a month ago, and it was only three of us in our party; she literally told us that she was irritated that we ordered cocktails because she had to make them. It was super uncomfortable and awkward.”
“We’ve only ordered in from Paradise, but everything we’ve gotten has been provided to us nice and hot. Plus everything is delivered all of the time. I definitely recommend their food.Vegetarian options: My favorite is the Margarita Pizza. My husband, who is not vegetarian loves the supreme deluxe pizza.”
“Wow the best arepas I have had in Florida. Freshly made while we waited. We had a black bean arepa and a shredded beef arepa. Not much English spoken here but thanks to Google translate I was able to get just what I wanted. They were friendly and patient! Definitely recommended!”

Pinchers
“Went on a Saturday evening. Great location with abundant indoor and outdoor seating. Had a waitress named Mel who did great going through what they had to offer and specials. I had the crab legs they were very well done. Sides were on the smaller end for size only reason I complain is because the mashed potato’s were excellent and I could have definitely eaten more. My wife had the fish and chips which was cooked very well. We tried the sangria for our drinks, they were a little on the watery side. All in all this was an excellent meal. Will return our next vacation.”
“Food was ok typical to other outbacks. Service was not terrible. But we called ahead and they didn't explain that they dont put you on the list till you show up. So we actually had zero benefit to calling ahead and actually took twice as long.”
“totally amazing. food was good, drinks were good, prices were good. but.... Chris was our waiter and not only is he great at his job, his personality is awesome. super fun and funny. we'd be back even if nothing else was good just because he's that good”
“I love this place. They have an astonishing selection of beer on the shelf and cooler and 12-13 rotating drafts. The environment is chill and welcoming and the owner is friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.”
“It's a sports pub, the staff are great the food very good. The place is very clean more TV's than any place else. No matter where you're seated, you'll always be able to see what's playing.”
“I stopped by for a quit Almond Milk Latte and the Coffee is amazing! Owners are super kind and welcoming, the whole establishment feels like a vacation with amazing Ambiance and Decor. Thank you friends!”
“The food was amazing and the service was the service was the best we have had in a long time. They did an awesome job with the decor and everthing was spot on. Our server recommended the pear fig pizza which sounds odd but was amazing!!!”
“Everything I have had here is so tasty. The service is good and the staff is friendly. The parking is not great, but there is street parking. There is also not a lot of space to wait inside if there is a wait, so be prepared to stand outside.”
“They make the best subs. Call your order in beforehand just in case they're busy. I get the Turkey Swiss with all the toppings except mustard. It's authentic and delicious.”
“The food was amazing! We LOVED everything! The price was more than reasonable. We were actually worried about the taste when we saw how little it cost! The staff was friendly and informative. We would go back in a heartbeat! If you like Cuban food, you should give it a try!”
“FAITH AND TITO was amazing tonight the service the food I can tell you the food doesn't come any better than what I had tonight! The man loves his country please visit this place and let him know how much you appreciate him coming to Florida how much you appreciate him being a true American Patriot! See you guys again real soon.”

Ceno Grille
“This is a grill with about 6 tables out and 8 to 10 inside. No frills Italian/Mediterranean. Not a quiet atmosphere which we like. I had the blackened mahi mahi lemon caper sauce, rice and spinach. Penne Vodka was very good. More tomato forward than cream which was great. Salad is extra. Drinks reasonable. We will be back.”
“First time here and very impressed. Kennedy, our server was GREAT! Thanks for a great first time experience. We’ll be back. BTW the prime rib dinner was awesome! Thank you for supporting our veterans!”
“What can I say about yellowfin, a great time great experience we can bring great friends. Enjoy an amazing atmosphere. The staff is by far wonderful. That’s why we’ve been there for eight months every Thursday. Plan on. Keep doing it every time. Thank you guys so much for indulging us, thank you to the staff for being so gracious, and thank you for the guys who bring out the greatest sushi in the world. Always a pleasure. See you next Thursday.”
“Authentic Cuban food, very good service, everything very delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes, tamales, chicharrones, congrí, rice with black beans, Uruguayan steak, pork chop, tostones and... we couldn't miss the mamey shake, everything was delicious! Recommendable! It closes soon, so keep that in mind.”

Caloosa Club
“First time here close to the house can't believe we missed this one? but glad that we're giving it a try.? so far so good there's only one waitress at the time at 4:24 but she's awesome Janice holding it down.”
“Is a great place to sit and refuel the body after a long day. I recommend the tea bombs are delicious and sustain my long day. The shakes are just so filling and very yummy. Did I mention very good for you ?! So come and give this a try , you will enjoy their polite , family oriented and encouraging attitudes.”
“I asked Mason to create me a pina colada and he killed it! He used the island breeze on tap missed with pineapple juice and coconut milk and it was delicious! Very attentive and great customer service! Jason was kavatending and as always did an amazing job!”
“Fabulous to say the least! As former restaurant owners/chefs they truly do an exceptional job! We'll see you soon! Thank you for a 5 Star dining experience! From the appetizers, salads & entrees... unfortunately no room for dessert! But the dessert tray was very tempting! Thanks again for our culinary journey!”
“BEST PIZZA I have had in Florida and the service was the best! Vinnie from NY makes the pizza and my mouth is absolutely watering wanting to go back. This place is a gem. We had zuchinni sticks and a Supreme pizza with no sausage, and just wow. I love giving 5 star reviews when recent experiences left me wondering...”
“Hands down The Best Pizza I have ever had. And I’ve had a lot of Pizza while in New York. The crust/dough was thoughtfully crafted & delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Visited this place while in Cape Coral and bought some beans. That was about 5 years ago and have been purchasing and shipping it back to MD ever since. For me the Black Tiger is the best bean that they have. The roasted bean actually looks better than most with a slightly oily sheen. I have never found any other roasted bean that is comparable.”
“My family’s waiter Marthin Sinaga was absolutely amazing. He made sure everyone was comfortable and got their orders correctly. Our Chef G was incredible. He is very talented in his cooking skills and made sure he even got my grandmas requests in her food. Highly recommend this restaurant.”
“I really like the place, the atmosphere and the good food.Parking: Depends on the time open placeKid-friendliness: Yes there is food for children and drinks tooWheelchair accessibility: Large door and chairs can be moved to accommodate wheelchairs”
“A little bit of Colombia in Cape Coral, it is a small, clean and well presented place, attended kindly and at full speed. The food is fresh and cooked like in Valle del Cauca itself. The prices are very cheap in relation to the size of the portions and the quality of the food (an average of 15 dollars per plate), and things like pandebonos, buñuelos and other Colombian breads and mecato. Recommended.”
“Carrabas is an excellent family restaurant that has a great menu selection for adults and children. The food is always well prepared, and the service is, almost always, excellent.”
“I was completely impressed with Brandon and Mike. So helpful in making EOY 2024 reservations. Looking forward to visiting for the first time! Thanks so much!Rex and ”
“We went last night for our first time to have an appetizer and a pizza. The place was really busy! We were seated within a few minutes, though. We ordered the calamari appetizer. Wow, it was an abundant amount and very good! We also ordered a small pizza. The crust was very good and so were the toppings and sauce. We would definitely recommend going here, just for the sake of the delicious food. However, the service was also outstanding! Our server, Kayla, was so awesome. (I apologize if I got your name wrong!) she had a lot of tables, but, she kept up with them all with a smile on her face! In addition to her great service, we had no less than three other managers stop and ask if everything was ok and chat for a minute or two. They have food runners bringing out the food, so, it’s hot out of the oven! What a fun place! We will definitely be back!”
“A must try!!! We went last night and got the garlic and clam pizza. Omg was it delicious. Told the owner get it on the menu lol. If you have not been I highly recommend trying. Our server . Theresa was top notch and took great care if us.”
“First time here, it was just ok. Husband had the Philly cheesesteak which was good, I took a bite, we both like Wicked Good Deli in Ft Myers better. My fish was a little soggy lacking taste, fries were meh. If I came back it wouldn't be for the fish it would be for a Philly. Nice amount of tables inside. Canned or bottled drinks only + some bottled beer.”
“I first starting coming here because it was close to us. We weren’t huge fans but then the place got bought out by a new owner who is part of our VFW. He is for the veterans and constantly supports them. Besides that the food is amazing!! I love the Ruben, the fish sandwich, their brunch goes to 1pm Saturday and Sunday.. which is awesome!! Hopefully you get Chris the outside bar tender, he is a true mixologist. Love the place and all the workers. So glad Chris the owner made this place a terrific stop and wish him the best!!”

El Tarasco
“The place looked small from the outside- but it was really nice. I liked the ambiance. The staff were very friendly and I didn’t have to wait to be seated. Parking can be an issue as there are several other restaurants in close proximity. I got the machuacana quesadilla but they made it vegetarian. The portions are huge you will definitely need a to go box. I like the rice as well. It didn’t taste salty; seasoning was well balanced. Sharon was the waitress that assisted me. She was very nice and patient as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get especially when you have restrictions. They do not have happy hour but it’s still a cool place for all.Vegetarian options: There is a small section on the back for vegetarian options but they can alter the regular meals to make it vegetarian as well. The meal I got was contained meat but they were able to make it vegetarian for me.”

THAI CAFÉ 99
“My experience at Thai 99 was exceptional. The ambiance was inviting, the service impeccable, and the food outstanding. I savored the tofu panang and Tom Ka Kai, both of which were expertly prepared and bursting with authentic Thai flavors. Thai 99 is a must-visit for anyone craving exquisite Thai cuisine in a welcoming setting.”
“The owner is Italian, a hands on guy. Constantly making rounds and checking on people, helping the staff with whatever needs doing.Authentic, freshly prepared food.”
“I am thoroughly enjoying the food that I purchased today from Bahia Bowls in Cape Coral. The loaded avocado toast is to die for along with an açaí bowl. Staff was also amazing as my friends baby dropped all of her protein bites on the floor and they gave her a new container! No complaints here.”
“I had this during a little event at UTC, asked the owners son to surprise me since he was ringing me up on my order, he definitely didn’t know what to pick but when he decided something for my first time trying, it was the Philly Grilled Cheese and by FAR the best sandwich I’ve had since moving out of CT to FL. The flavors is extraordinary, cheese was melty/falling apart. So amazing this place is and staff was super nice.”
“My family and I have been looking for a good Cuban restaurant since we moved here nine months ago from South Florida. We went here for dinner based on the reviews. The place is clean, cozy and the menu has a lot of options to choose from. The Cuban sandwich was good and the bread was not doughy. The shredded pork was different because they put onion and pepper on it which added a good flavor to the pork. The black beans were lacking salt but I rather add salt than it being too salty. The chicken milanese was dry and was lacking cheese and sauce. The cafe con leche had the right ratio of milk and coffee and was really hot.Coming from South Florida we have an abundance of great Cuban restaurants so finding a Cuban restaurant that can compare is going to be challenging. I would go back and try what else they have to offer but I can't recommend the chicken milanese.”

Siam Hut
“Really really great food & service. This place is in a strip mall but don't let that fool you. Fresh & flavors are amazing ! We did carry out but would dine again ( if we were local) Do yourself a favor and go!”
“We were there on Sunday afternoon the place was completely overwhelmed. We sat at the bar Kyle was the bartender. He did a great job composing himself. He delivered on time never an attitude. Friendly and kind. I asked about our food He went right in the kitchen and brought it out...I don't know if the beer wasn't stock or they ran out but even when he left the bar to get more beer he showed know signs of frustration. He's a keeper.”
“Good food, great atmosphere, good live music, great sangria. The bartender (man) looks like the owner, at first came out a bit hot but actually he turns out to be a nice person.”
“Stacy G amazing service, personable and professional. Valentine dinner our 49 anniversary. Service 5 and atmosphere 5 my fish a tad dry desert perfect, drinks wonderful. Will be back BIG Kudos to the entire staff of WOMEN and Thanks Stacy for a wonderful anniversary ”
“We are visiting from Ohio and wanted some good BBQ. This place exceeded our expectations! The pulled pork, ribs, mac n cheese, mash potatoes and cornbread were delicious!! But the star is that chocolate cake. Its huge!! It fed 5 of us and its so moist! Really enjoyed our meal!”
“I traveled over 3000 to find the best Italian food in the country! Playing tourist in Cape Coral, a friend and I had an urge for a good, authentic, Italian dinner. We Googled "Italian restaurants near me" and came up with quite a few selections. Looking over the menus on some of them we found them to be quite expensive just for pasta. I found Maria's on my tablet, (as opposed to my partner's phone). It was less than a half mile from where we were staying, and the prices were very reasonable. So off we went. The restaurant is tucked away in a residential area. It is quaint, small and very clean. The staff was wonderful. We ordered our food. I knew mine would take a while to cook as I ordered Linguine with meatballs, so I was not off put when the food did not arrive immediately. But no problem, we were given warm, fresh baked bread cover in melted butter and garlic pieces, and topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese. It was wonderful! We ordered some wine, munched on the bread and talked. Our food arrived and we dug in (but not before I took some pictures of our meals). My partner raved about his ricotta stuffed ravioli. Me, I was blown away by the marinara sauce covering my linguine! Chunk full of garlic and herbs, it was the best marina I have EVER had in a restaurant. The meatballs were scrumptious, and the pasta cooked perfectly. I am glad I live in Washington state, because if I lived in Cape Coral I would eat here every night and get fat as a house! I should also mention that both my partner and I are Italian, so we are quite picky about our pasta and sauces. Maria's did not disappoint. I was only sorry it was our last day in Cape Coral and we could not go back and try other dishes. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you love Italian food, you must try Maria's!”
“I normally do not post reviews but The Brunchy Bunch truck deserves 5 stars. Brittanie the owner is professional, confirms before date, showed up on time, served Indigo homeowners in a quick fashion and the food was great. They were able to handle large volume since it was a community holiday party. I will definitely be using them again and the breakfast and lunch options catered to kids and adults. Thank you Brittanie from the Brunchy bunch food truck.”
“The ambiance is much nicer than buffet places. The service over the years has been good. The food is always tasty, but whether you like it or not could depend on what you order. I ordered a lo mein that was not what I expected, and I thought the hot and sour soup was bland, but now that I rotate between the mushu (all are good but I prefer the pork) and bourbon chicken combo plate, I'm always happy! Hubby likes the orange chicken, lemon chicken and egg fuyung. Love the fried rice and egg rolls. We normally takeout, but we still get the fortune cookies. Yes, prices have gone up, but that's understandable. Chen's is worth it, and they are a cut above the other Chinese restaurants we've tried in the Cape.”
“Yesterday I order a "Tres Mares" and requested that if the can make with no sodium because my husband heart condition. The food was excellent & no sodium. I appreciate very much because my husband was able to eat & enjoy with no health consequences. Thank you!”
“Not a lot of curb appeal but wait till you stop in. Food is amazing, nice size portions and reasonably priced. We’ve been here 4 times and the service has been outstanding! Inside is a little dated but there are several really beautiful salt water fish tanks!! Stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!!!”
“Delicious Pizza and subs!!! They had to much so much to choose from so we got a large pizza and 2 subs. The pizza was cooked perfect! The subs were also very delicious. Hot and ready when we got there to pick up. The staff was super friendly. We definitely will be going back to try some of the other items!”
“Jessica is an incredible server. She is so personable and friendly. The pizza guy (Josh) makes delicious pizza. Ask for Jessica to be your server and order the pizza. You won't regret it! Great food, Great Service, Great memories!!”

Rib City
“The best of the best. I live 900 miles aways and will not eat baby back ribs anywhere else other than this Rib City. I wish they would ship them out on dry ice so I could have them more often.”
“So sad to hear that Nevermind is closing soon. This was one of the few places that served craft beer when I moved here 12 years ago. Place was always crowded with people having fun. On bike night they always had a great band, before the cape moved where their bands played.”
“What a hidden gym! This place has such a welcoming feeling for locals that lives here and visiting peeps looking for a place to just have a drink and good food. So glad o found this place!”
“Good prices and friendly staff but please touch up the chipped paint work on your walls and booths as the place looks run down as you enter- I almost turned around. People notice lack of upkeep and it’ll scare away more customers than you know.”
“Everything about the pizza was great…the amount of ingredients, the cheese, the sauce and the cooking time….service was great as well especially considering how busy they were ….we will be back before we go home”

Italian beef
“I'm from Chicago and when I got a beef sandwich and a combo it was like walking inside one of Chicago hotdogs restaurants. Food was great and tasty. Prices are reasonable and the owner and employees are very nice and friendly. We like about 40 minutes away and will make the drive to return back. If you are looking for some Chicago food this is the right place to go because you will not be disappointed.”
“Since moving from Atlanta, I've been on a seemingly endless search for a taco that could really hit the spot. That all changed when I found Taco's Mexican Restaurant in Cape Coral. This place is a game changer! The tacos here have finally satisfied my soul, bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients.I'm shocked to see a 3.9-star rating. It doesn't do justice to the incredible experience Taco's offers. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the mouth-watering tacos, every visit is a delight. If you're not rating it five stars, it's time for a taste bud check-up! Cape Coral, this is the taco spot we've been waiting for.”
“Pretty typical sports bar both in looks and menu. Staff is wonderful. Our waiters didn't miss a beat even with it being a busy Saturday night. Thin crust pizza was pretty good with lots of topping options. The bar is separate from the main dining area which was nice if you wanted a quieter vibe. Decent place to grab a quick bite.”
“Great service and atmosphere, but if you like chicken enchiladas with plain unseasoned chicken wrapped in a tortilla with bland canned white cheese sauce. Sorry, but they were horribly bland.”

Rumrunners
“A friend of mine and I came to Cape Coral for vacation in March. We visited Rumrunners on a few occasions. It was in very close proximity to where we were staying and with the large menu and drink options, we weren't going to be getting bored with the offerings. The first time we visited was at lunch time. I ordered the White fish appetizer and the restaurants own classic Rumrunner's on the rocks drink. Both were amazing! I loved how the dip came with julienne sliced cucumbers and two cracker selections. We were sat at a marble top table overlooking the channel. It was beautiful, I even got a picture of a large bird flying close to the water. Our server Billie was very nice and attentive. One of the managers named Joe even stopped by the table to ask how our visit was going. All of the servers seemed to be buzzing around happily taking care of their guests. The second time I visited was for my Birthday dinner. We were sat at a table outside down by the water about 25 minutes before sunset. It made for beautiful surroundings for my Birthday dinner. Anthony was our server and while he was busy, that did not take away from the great service we received. One of the managers, Joe, whom I'd also seen on my first visit, came to the table as he had heard it was my Birthday, I think my friend mentioned it to the hostess. He was very nice and accommodating. We ordered the bread appetizer and it was really good, nice and warm and had spreadable butter. I also had the half order of the wedge salad, it was so crisp and delicious. For my main course I decided on the Lobster Ravioli. It had creamy rich sauce and good sized ravioli. I couldn't finish it, not because it wasn't delicious though! My friend ordered the Macaroni and Cheese with seafood. She LOVED it. I also had a frozen Raspberry Pina Colada with a dark rum floater. It was so good and creamy and the raspberry went very well with the Pina Colada flavor, and I would definitely recommend them. After dinner about 5 servers came out with a piece of chocolate cake and sang Happy Birthday to me. It was such a nice experience. They even have a gift shop area with their Rumrunners brand on clothing and other merchandise. I purchased some comfortable shorts and I can't wait until its warm enough back here in Michigan to wear them. While at dinner, manager Joe mentioned that we should come back the next day for the "Rock the Docs" event that they do every couple of months. This time, it was a St. Patrick's Day celebration. My friend and I decided we definitely would be in attendance. There was a band playing from 1p-4p called "American Band" and they put on a great show! There were a lot of people there enjoying drinks, food and music. We dressed the part for St. Pats and had a wonderful time. After the show was over at 4p we went into the bar area and ordered the Charcuterie board. It had an assortment of sliced cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers and thin sliced meats. The restroom was clean and even had a beautiful fresh flower bouquet on the hand washing sink. Another thing I found really cool was there are places to take pictures. There is a backdrop that is perfect for pics and this old black car in front of the restaurant along with one of those oversized Adirondack style chairs. There is also a red old style phone booth. My friend and I definitely took advantage of the props and got some great pictures to commemorate the experience. While I didn't have any children with me, there is an area outside that has sand for the kids to play in. The ones I saw playing there were having a great time. I will definitely be coming back to Rumrunners at Cape Harbour the next time I'm in Cape Coral!”
“I recommend when going to Lenny's Cape Coral that you go earlier than an hour before closing. Otherwise if you are there say a half-hour before closing and want to sit a bit and eat your sandwich, a girl with a bunch of face piercings may come up to you and tell you to leave because they are closing in 30 minutes. If you really want to sit for a bit you might be told to eat it fast and leave. So be aware that the Cape location may close the lobby to customers within the hour before posted closing time.”
“I just want to say thank you to the kid who gave me a $5 bill can you cheer me up I was really upset because I cannot go back to my old job and again thank you I appreciate it.”
“Perfect place if you want to enjoy a relaxing dinner by the sea ?? Their food is the best, you can't ask for something better! They have amazing views as well so if you are looking for a place to have a great dinner combined, then this is the right place.”

“Food not as described on menu... Shrimp Scampi good except with shells on, I don't think thats normal and the Campanelle noodles were spaghetti noodles! Spinach sautéed tasted like complete salt. Chicken Parmaseno tough, very hard to cut & chew. SMH. Rather sad. 2 out of 5 ☆☆ Theater ballroom nice appearance & spacious. Bands sound lacked something. Rather tinty. Cheerios!”
“Had to stop and check out the world's largest tiki hut, we were not disappointed. Our waitress Jules met us with a smile and drink suggestions. We tried the orange crush, and it was definitely delicious. We were only there for a couple of drinks. No food was ordered, but the crowd was lively, and the atmosphere was great. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the drinks we ordered were great. Definitely will be back.”

“My family and I love South Cape Mona Lisa! The best Italian restaurant we've been to since living down here! The food is amazing especially the Antipasto and garlic knots. Our son loves the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and our daughter loves the chicken fingers. We have been back multiple times and will continue making this a regular for our weekly dinner! The pizza is like no other!”
“The place is VERY noisy BUT the food was incredible. We asked for a booth hopping to be able to have a conversation but still had to speak loudly for even the server to hear us. All 4 meals ordered arrived exactly as we wanted.”
“Fabulous to say the least! As former restaurant owners/chefs they truly do an exceptional job! We'll see you soon! Thank you for a 5 Star dining experience! From the appetizers, salads & entrees... unfortunately no room for dessert! But the dessert tray was very tempting! Thanks again for our culinary journey!”
“The place looked small from the outside- but it was really nice. I liked the ambiance. The staff were very friendly and I didn’t have to wait to be seated. Parking can be an issue as there are several other restaurants in close proximity. I got the machuacana quesadilla but they made it vegetarian. The portions are huge you will definitely need a to go box. I like the rice as well. It didn’t taste salty; seasoning was well balanced. Sharon was the waitress that assisted me. She was very nice and patient as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get especially when you have restrictions. They do not have happy hour but it’s still a cool place for all.Vegetarian options: There is a small section on the back for vegetarian options but they can alter the regular meals to make it vegetarian as well. The meal I got was contained meat but they were able to make it vegetarian for me.”
“Pretty typical sports bar both in looks and menu. Staff is wonderful. Our waiters didn't miss a beat even with it being a busy Saturday night. Thin crust pizza was pretty good with lots of topping options. The bar is separate from the main dining area which was nice if you wanted a quieter vibe. Decent place to grab a quick bite.”
“Excellent service. Very laid back home type of atmosphere.Breakfast done your way with tostada cubana.Un cafecito y estas completo.El menu de almuerzo varia a diario.DO NOT leave the cape for cuban food.”
“I came here to try out the food and milkshakes. The food was delicious and I really will come back to try the rest of the menu. I didn't like one of the milkshakes and at first I was told I couldn't do a refund by one of the employees there. So I was kind of upset but after speaking with one of the managers, she was very nice and helpful and didn't hesitate to refund me for the shake.”
“Went on a Saturday evening. Great location with abundant indoor and outdoor seating. Had a waitress named Mel who did great going through what they had to offer and specials. I had the crab legs they were very well done. Sides were on the smaller end for size only reason I complain is because the mashed potato’s were excellent and I could have definitely eaten more. My wife had the fish and chips which was cooked very well. We tried the sangria for our drinks, they were a little on the watery side. All in all this was an excellent meal. Will return our next vacation.”
“Ginger Bistro in Cape Coral has been our go-to for Chinese food since they opened years ago! It has a really nice ambiance and absolutely the best Chinese food we have found anywhere. Typically the protein is the star feature of most restaurants and while the proteins served here are fabulous, the vegetables are the real standouts! They are so bright in color, beautiful, cooked to perfection and delicious! If u like vegetables, u will definitely want to take any leftovers (along with the proteins, of course) home in a to-go container. At most Chinese restaurants I notice that if there is protein left, it will get eaten or taken home, but not the brownish finely chopped little overcooked mushy vegetables thoroughly soaking in a sauce.On our most recent Monday evening visit, when my husband sitting across the booth from me went to get his credit card from his wallet to pay at the table, apparently all his cash fell out of his slimline wallet strap. We had no idea it had happened until I received a voicemail that same evening from a wonderful employee named Kim informing us that something had been left behind in our booth. By the time we listened to the vmail, we knew the restaurant was closed so I tried texting the number back as she had said it was her personal cell. I thanked her very much but shared that we had no idea what it was since I had already made sure I had my purse and my mother-in-law’s and my jackets and my husband had his wallet. I went on to describe the three of us and where we had been seated. She immediately replied back with such a friendly and fun, “So glad we found you!” and further revealed “it was a fair amount of cash”. I immediately thought, his wallet had appeared thinner than usual to me when I had looked at it in our closet, (since he was already in bed). She went on to tell us the money would be waiting for us on Wed in an envelope with his name on it and which manager would have access to it.I asked who found it and brought it to her attention and she said it was Mallory who was our lovely young server that night. Kudos to Mallory. No one would have known if she had pocketed it. But, she did not. We will be thanking her in person and with a token of our appreciation and admiration when we purposefully go back for another meal there this week or next.Well done and thank u so much to Mallory, Kim and Ginger Bistro. ❤️❤️❤️If u have not, give Ginger Bistro Cape Coral a try!! U will not be disappointed in the food or the people - both are excellent!Eva”
“The bartender last night was amazing. She kept up on all our drinks, food, change, and bills for the games. She made sure we needed nothing. Which was nice because our company Twin Metals was there to have a good time. She helped make that a success. The bar is conveniently right next to a park, but this place has its own fun and entertainment.”
“The food and environments are top tier. However, for some reason their fountain drinks taste like GARBAGE. Is there mold in there or something? The Pepsi does not taste like Pepsi. If I come here to eat, I go out of my way to go to a gas station for a drink, and then I bring it.Fix your drinks, your food is great.”
“Such a great Thai and sushi spot! The food is delicious and the service is quick, efficient and friendly. The restaurant is clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. We had pad Thai and three different roles and everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely return again. Highly recommended.”
“this is such a lovely “hole in the wall” restaurant. It has an authenticity that cannot be duplicated or chain Restaurant. It’s probably helpful if you speak Spanish because nobody speak Spanish there but the food is amazing. And the value is incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you want to get an espresso, a double shot of espresso is $2. I ordered the Cuban sandwich is as big as your head. My husband and I split it and took some home. Our son had this amazing dinner that I don’t know the name because I don’t speak Spanish and he took some home so we fed the three of us for $30. And took home enough food for two meals. Plus it was delicious.”
“Wonderful food, fantastic service. Come hungry, the portions are huge. My recommendation is the Pork Wiener Schnitzel with the potato salad. Actually anything with the potato salad is good.”

“Duffys in Cape Coral is simply the best,it’s a clean well run place.2 for 1 drinks all day every day good food and apps and I really got to be good friends with 4 or 5 of the bartenders especially Brendan and Jenny on the outside bar they just rock it,and Kenise inside shes just a sweet girl always smiling and happy and Nikki plays the best music when she’s on.but they’re really all nice people,they work very hard to give you the best fun experience they can.I’m a snow eagle (not a bird) and I’m gonna miss these wonderful people until I return. But if your vacationing in Cape Coral it’s a must stop you won’t be disappointed.”

“First time for me, many times for step dad, he was telling me his stories..Kass was our server, arriving at 430 it was moderately busy and we were ahead of the noisy rush.After the sirloin, salad and beans/rice, and filching a few French fries from his plate, I can concur it is excellent.For atmosphere I give less than 5 because it is an oldish place, low ceilings, and people have written on most exposed surfaces.Kass was excellent, cooks obviously a good job, and a well oiled team that was not yelling at each other across the room over the top of loud (for me) Muzak.They had boisterous groups arriving so glad we arrived early.I would be back but time constraints take me back to home state.The bill was not outrageous either..! Bonus!”
“A great place for either couples or a group to eat. Plenty of seating and ambience Clean and very inviting. Our group of six were all happy with the service and most of the food. We would have given our waitress ( Courtney ) an even bigger tip if they would not have added the 20% gratuity onto our bill. We all will be returning in the near future. We are residents of Florida and will come back frequently”
“Went on St Patricks Day and had the key lime fish which was good. Price was also good, and the only reason why I gave 4 stars for atmosphere thru no fault of Mels Diner was that it was extremely crowded. Alot or people and the parking lot was full. Otherwise I was satisfied and would recomend going there when its less crowded.”
“Great place to have a few beers and cocktails and watch sports. Or celebrate St Paddy's Day work live ROCK music. The outdoor patio is large and comfortable.Parking: A large lot in a central location.Kid-friendliness: More of an adult hang out, but kids are welcome.”
“Busy place, but not too long of a wait. Service was prompt and friendly. Had lunchtime ravioli as did one friend, the other went with spaghetti. Best part is the salad and breadsticks.”
“3rd time here...great service by Anthony.both our salads were warm my husbands was overdressed and mine was underdressed.20oz ribeye way to much seasoning while my 12oz ribeye was seasoned well.broccoli was cold and mushy... He asked me how I wanted it a double crunch or soft, I did choose the double crunch still came out mushy.baked potato was overly salty as well.my husbands stomach is bothering him now from the salt overload.maybe an off day we usually have no complaints however with the price of things today I thought it was good to share.”
“So. I recently had a date from out of town. Though I’ve lived in CC for almost 5 years, I’ve never dined here. My date picked the spot. Everything was outstanding! The food was delicious and big servings. I got the jambalaya and she had pulled pork. And her brownie “loaf” was 3 servings covered in caramel. Service A+ And really personable owner Bill, bartender Craig, and entertainer Jerry B. I’ll be back to offer my scotch and bourbon selections to their expanded bar. Highly recommend!”

“Food was ok typical to other outbacks. Service was not terrible. But we called ahead and they didn't explain that they dont put you on the list till you show up. So we actually had zero benefit to calling ahead and actually took twice as long.”
“Stopped in for dinner and a few drinks last night. The burger was amazing. Service was friendly. Place is newly remodelled, clean. They have AMI Music so I can rock out to Rush and Van Halen. Plus it's right around the corner, so we'll definitely be back.”
“Excellent service! From the pizza to the Stromboli's, even the desserts. Never disappointed. Great friendly environment to relax and enjoy yourself with some delicious ”
“Just happened to walk in on St. Patrick’s day and were able to get seated immediately. An excellent Irish band was playing, atmosphere very inviting. Our server, Chip, not only took super good care of us, attentive during our meal, he went above and beyond to ensure our visit was the first of many. Will definitely be back and plan to recommend to many friends. We feel we had the luck of the Irish.”
