“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!”

“Nice place. Our waitress was very attentive, kept our ice tea full and remembered to keep plenty of Splena on the table. I ordered the Seafood Cobb Salad. I am a Cobb Salad fan and order one where ever I go. This one was huge and I mean a 12” plate piled on. All of the individual components were plentiful 5 grilled shrimp on top, tons of cherry tomatoes, a half a pig of bacon, bleu cheese, onions, and the rest were stacked high. Only thing that would have made it better would be chopped greens. I had to get a “kitty bag” for later. Desert was their Banana Bread Pudding with toasted bananas. Again huge could have shared it with 3. Wife ordered Crème Brûlée which she wouldn’t share. Only bump was wife’s entre, Dolphin fish came out topped with tomatoes which she is deathly allergic (not mentioned on the menu) but not to worry, they made her another lickety split. Two entrées, appetizer, ice tea, desert and nice tip came to just under $100 about average for a decent Cape Coral restaurant. Big smiles on this one.????”

“One of the best breakfast’s I have eaten out in a really long time. Two organic eggs were cooked to perfection sunny side up. Three nice thick slices of perfectly cooked bacon, and two pieces of thick gluten-free toast. The bread is made in house and undoubtedly the best I ever had. Fortunately they sold it so I bought a loaf to go. And the service was top-notch also. Overall great experience”

“This review is long overdue. • My friends put together a going away party for me at the Duffy's location on CC Pkwy on the evening of Friday January 28,2022. • I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to our server, Britney B for single-handedly taking care of our food and beverage needs for three solid hours! She was extremely effecient, friendly, and professional. • As we all know with a group of this size, this can rarely be accomplished in an effortless manner as she demonstrated during that time! • Additionally, thank you to management for allowing us ALL to sit together by placing us is the front private space up front. We all appreciated your hospitality on short notice! • Again, thank you Britney B, management and staff for accommodating us and sending me off to AZ in style. • Much appreciated! • I highly recommend this establishment!”

“Went to Lehne’s based on the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. The burgers were outstanding and the service (by Lehne, himself) was also fantastic. My smash burger was done very well and the taste was great. Also had a boozy shake - vanilla and Irish cream and left saying it was probably the best shake I have had. Made with real ice cream and almost the best part of the meal! Would be very happy to go back!”

“This is a must try on the Cape! The menu is interesting. The food is excellent. They have a bit of a unique setup with the main restaurant on one side of a central wall and cocktail lounge on the other side. They have very different atmospheres but both are cool depending on what you are looking for. Note: they have separate outside entrances but you can move between the two without going outside. Also the full menu is available on both sides. If you read my reviews you know I care about the details that makes a place good or meh. In This is what makes 10 Twenty Five above average 1) the food: interesting takes on standard that make this place stand out. The quality is high and consistent. Including taco Tuesday where they present a special taco of the week along with the normal “gringo” tacos. They also offer a soup of the day. Unlike most restaurants it’s actually a home made soup that reflects the unique imagination that is seen in the rest of the menu. The same can be said about the Saturday-Sunday brunch offerings. 2) Drinks: Smart cocktails and an excellent tap beer selections have something for everyone. 3) Staff: Almost all are over the top friendly and they work on a team system so there’s no one person you are dependent on to serve you. They all work together at the bar and tables to make sure you have what you want when you want it, including the check. Unfortunately, I don’t have a bunch of great pics of the food to post but many others have done that before me. Enjoy this cool spot.
Update: 9/17/24: See the new menu in my pics. The “egg roll in a bowl” is our new favorite item.”

The Brussels sprouts with sriracha and miso are not to be missed, and the wagyu filet just melts in your mouth.

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food was amazing. The atmosphere and love was beyond what you would expect. I can't wait to go back. I want to try every single dish on the menu. I read the review about the vodka sauce and the recovering alcoholic. Why the f....k would you even consider ordering that dish in the first place??? You are playing games with yourself. Really, you cried at the table?? The owners are hard working people. There are erasers on pencils for a reason. Or maybe you don't know what an eraser is. I would have thrown your a** out wah wah wah!! And the other idiot with the chicken wings, you don't come to an Italian restaurant and ask for chicken wings. Go to Kentucky Fried chicken you arsh hole! Anyway I loved the gnocchi with cream sauce, which is what I had. I needed to sample the gravy, (yes we Italians can it gravy), so I had a meatball too! Totally recommend! Jill the owner is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Make a reservation it fills up real fast!”

“My wife and I recently visited the Olive Garden at 1910 NE Pine Island Rd, Cape Coral, and we had a delightful dining experience that lived up to the restaurant’s reputation for consistent quality and comfort.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were seated quickly and checking in with us throughout the meal without being intrusive. The overall atmosphere was cozy, with a pleasant balance between casual dining and an upscale feel.
As for the food, Olive Garden is known for its generous portions and hearty Italian-American dishes, and this location did not disappoint. We started with their famous unlimited salad and breadsticks—a staple that never fails. The salad was fresh, well-dressed, and served in ample quantity, while the breadsticks were warm, buttery, and perfectly seasoned.
For the main course, I had the Chicken Alfredo, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The chicken was tender, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My wife opted for the Tour of Italy, which is a great choice if you want a little taste of everything. The lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, and chicken parmigiana on her plate were all perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, providing a nice variety.
Despite the generous portions, we couldn’t resist trying dessert. We shared a piece of the Tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and the perfect way to end our meal.
One of the things that always stands out about Olive Garden is the consistency—you know you're getting quality food and great service at an affordable price, and this location is no exception. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish.
If you’re in Cape Coral and looking for a satisfying Italian meal with a welcoming atmosphere, Olive Garden at 1910 NE Pine Island Rd is a solid choice. Whether it’s a casual lunch or a special dinner, they deliver on their promise of comfort food and good service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“My partner and I, both from Connecticut and New York, were blown away by how authentic this Italian restaurant felt! It was our first time at the location, and from the moment we stepped in, the ambience completely transported us to Italy. The cozy, intimate setting, paired with the subtle charm of the decor, made for an unforgettable dining experience.
The service was beyond amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Every dish we tried was full of rich, traditional flavors that reminded us of the best Italian spots in the city. We left feeling excited and completely fulfilled. We will definitely be returning! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience!”

“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'm updating my review of 4 months ago (see below) after going there again last night for a small snack dinner.We ordered two classic burgers with fries. "Terrible". Both the meat and the buns were burned and smelled and tasted burned. We through them away. The fries were good as usual. I believe even the low cost small burgers should be tasty. No more McDonalds for us. At least not at this location.
Typical McDonalds store. Very friendly staff. Quick instore ordering as well as online pickup. We are not frequent fast food eaters but live within 2 miles of this McDonalds and go there infrequently. Always pleased with the service.

“Our first visit to McDonald's in the USA and you can say that it is worlds apart from the one in Germany. The price is unbeatable, for $5 (€4.50) a double cheeseburger, 4 nuggets, fries and a drink are almost free. There are ordering terminals like in Europe, the service was super nice, we don't know that in Europe. The taste of the burgers was definitely different too, the burgers were freshly prepared. The ketchup is served for free and the mayonnaise only costs $0.10, which is like paradise. McDonald’s Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium should follow the example of the USA!”

“I love trying different ethic foods. The food at Sumaq was absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal. When I saw the table cloths, I thought it would be expensive, but the prices are reasonable. We started with avocado stuffed with shrimp, I had filet mignon beef tips which was cooked exactly as I asked. Not over cooked. My husband had the Jalea Mixta, nice light batter, not too heavy. We were given a sample of a cake served in Peru which was out of this world. And we are not big on cake. Would not hesitate to go back again. Highly recommend.”

You are warmly welcomed and the knowledgeable staff goes overboard to make sure you get exactly what you want and that you are satisfied. On a 5 star basis I give Pizza Parma a 6”

“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.”

“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!”

“Great food, good bartenders, highly worthy of a return. These people were wise in firing Kitty Maldonado whom these days continues to ramble over and over like a broken record over other peoples' mistakes, including things that are years in the past and that everyone at all bars is tired of hearing about. Does she not realize how horribly annoying she is to everyone she serves and works for at every single bar, and yet she continues to repeatedly resurrect the same drama, over and over, like a broken record at every single bar she works at, which she has been doing since the Covid pandemic. And Kitty was fired from at least a dozen other bars for rambling over and over like a broken record over other peoples' mistakes. People are tired of hearing about the same mistakes of other people over and over again. Kitty's repeating broken record drama has ruined numerous potential celebrations of Joe Biden's victory and Donald Trump's defeat in the November 2020 election. Donald Trump was the very worst president in American history, many of us were about to celebrate Trump's defeat and multiple impeachments, and Kitty ruined our celebrations with her drama and rambling over and over like a broken record. And to make matters worse, she has a destructive sidekick, Joanna Teresa Unbehaun, adding to the drama. Joanna is in fact reported to have framed a number of students at a high school near Chicago for involvement in the 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as for a series of bomb threats that occurred in the Chicago metropolitan area during the fourth quarter of that year. Reportedly, Kitty Maldonado was actually supposed to have moved to Atlanta, Georgia or Los Angeles, California back in the fall of 2018. And truthfully, I think Kitty would do well in Los Angeles as I hear a close friend of hers, Deziree, that used to bartend in the South Cape, lives in Los Angeles and is last known bartending somewhere on Wilshire Blvd near Beverly Hills.”

“The Florida Shrimp Salad was very good (didnt like that the tail was left on the shrimp). I really enjoyed the Jerk Salmon Bites. The drink I had, forgot the name, something with the name 'Twist', didn't have much liquor. I'm a lightweight drinker and 2 of those were like drinking soda.
The server was friendly and pleasant. Service did feel a little slow at times, but overall it was good. The waterfront view is absolutely beautiful. Nice place to watch the sunset.”

“It was my second time at Fathom. The restaurant has expanded since I was there last. The waitress was wonderful. The food was okay, nothing memorable. I recommend staying away from the chocolate mousse, it definitely is nothing like a classic style. Instead of rich fluffy chocolate it was caramel pudding!”

“Everything about our experience for both dinner and breakfast the following morning was excellent. The service was phenomenal. We arrived by boat after a long day of dealing with weather traveling up from the keys. We were very dehydrated and our server realized how fast we drank our beverages and quick brought over an additional glass of tea each. The morning our server noticed we had a small cooler with us and offered to top it off with ice for us which was perfect. The service staff really knows how to anticipate guest needs. Great job!
The food was top notch, I had the fish dip for an appetizer and the blackened grouper sandwich for dinner with a slice of key lime pie for dessert. Everything was very delicious. Breakfast was just as good. Highly recommend the chorizo breakfast sandwich.
We will certainly be making another stop here in the future.”

“Our Valentine's Day celebration was over the top. Big improvements at this perennial favorite under new leadership with everyone working as a team to make the dining experience extraordinary. From The beef Wellington to the beef filet and lobster and the sea bass, everything was delicious and prepared to perfection. The meal was only surpassed by the extraordinary selection of desserts that were available for the special night.”

“We have been dining at this restaurant since it first opened in Cape Coral. After a mixed beginning with inconsistent meals (5-star/ 3-star). When the Proprietor, Florencio, came on the scene the food, service, decor and everything you want in an authentic Mexican restaurant quickly caught its stride and El Tarasco (and its new daughter restaurant over on Hancock Bridge Pkwy) is our "go to" restaurant for Mexican food. 5 Stars!”

“We were looking for something different in the area for dinner and we came across this Hungarian/ Austrian restaurant on Chiquita Blvd. in Cape Coral Fl. We have come here several times for dinner and breakfast. The food is never a disappointment as well as the service. When you walk in you are always greeted with grace and a smile by Bernadette or Madlen( the owners0 which are so kind and friendly. Check out their Facebook page the owners are always posting something new for their restaurant. For entertainment the owners provide a Disco dance party on Friday evenings. This is truly a Hidden Jem. If you haven't tried it yet you need to come and try it for yourself. We will see you soon Gulyas Factory.”

“This review is long overdue. • My friends put together a going away party for me at the Duffy's location on CC Pkwy on the evening of Friday January 28,2022. • I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to our server, Britney B for single-handedly taking care of our food and beverage needs for three solid hours! She was extremely effecient, friendly, and professional. • As we all know with a group of this size, this can rarely be accomplished in an effortless manner as she demonstrated during that time! • Additionally, thank you to management for allowing us ALL to sit together by placing us is the front private space up front. We all appreciated your hospitality on short notice! • Again, thank you Britney B, management and staff for accommodating us and sending me off to AZ in style. • Much appreciated! • I highly recommend this establishment!”

“UI have been to bubbas twice. 1 month ago and just last Thursday. The first time it was great. Had the prime rib special. Everything was terrific. Told everyone that they should try it. Last Thursday I took my wife there and it was to horrible. Prime rib was stringy as all hell with a ton of fat all around. Service was fair at best. Worst prime I have ever had. Bitter after taste and just lousy. I will go back again to try something else but not the prime rib special”

“My wife and I recently visited the Olive Garden at 1910 NE Pine Island Rd, Cape Coral, and we had a delightful dining experience that lived up to the restaurant’s reputation for consistent quality and comfort.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were seated quickly and checking in with us throughout the meal without being intrusive. The overall atmosphere was cozy, with a pleasant balance between casual dining and an upscale feel.
As for the food, Olive Garden is known for its generous portions and hearty Italian-American dishes, and this location did not disappoint. We started with their famous unlimited salad and breadsticks—a staple that never fails. The salad was fresh, well-dressed, and served in ample quantity, while the breadsticks were warm, buttery, and perfectly seasoned.
For the main course, I had the Chicken Alfredo, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The chicken was tender, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My wife opted for the Tour of Italy, which is a great choice if you want a little taste of everything. The lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, and chicken parmigiana on her plate were all perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, providing a nice variety.
Despite the generous portions, we couldn’t resist trying dessert. We shared a piece of the Tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and the perfect way to end our meal.
One of the things that always stands out about Olive Garden is the consistency—you know you're getting quality food and great service at an affordable price, and this location is no exception. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish.
If you’re in Cape Coral and looking for a satisfying Italian meal with a welcoming atmosphere, Olive Garden at 1910 NE Pine Island Rd is a solid choice. Whether it’s a casual lunch or a special dinner, they deliver on their promise of comfort food and good service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I got the tamale entrée with Mexican street corn and sautéed zucchini. everything with my dish was very good. The only thing I would say is that there was a little bit too much oil collecting at the bottom of the plate. The other dish is the three shredded pork tacos with roasted potatoes and rice. this dish is the reason I gave the food a three. there were too many toppings on top of the taco. It would’ve been a lot better with less of everything. The pork needed a little bit more seasoning and the potatoes had no flavor. It was just potato. This dish was so close to being really good. It just needs a little bit of tweaking. What made this experience really good was our server, Jorge, he was nice and very efficient!!”
