“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I was disappointed that the hostess and server where unaware and did not care about the information provided through open table when I made my reservation. I was offered the choice of inside or outside. I selected outside and when I arrived she tried to sit us inside. She then acted like it was a chore to set us up outside. There is also an option to select a special occasion. I selected birthday. There was not a mention of my birthday. Just sad and disappointing when you are asked and there is no acknowledgement. I also don't understand why the server packed up the appetizer and then just set boxes in the table for entrees. It was uncomfortable. My mother is 80. I'm not telling her she can't take her leftovers. So I boxed them up. We love Tween and have been celebrating my birthday there for 7 years (- the hurricane interruptions). The people and service has always been great. I just feel there is a disconnect with this app. Or something“

“A nice location that I visited while visiting the gulf coast. Food was decent, drinks were cold, and overall a pleasurable experience. Visited by boat and had plenty of dock space. Walked up to bar area where we ordered drinks and started tab and walked up to a table to sit for lunch. While we got out food, ended up walking up to bar for another drink. While this part falls on me, did not pay close attention to the bill and realized they tagged on a service fee, which was essentially the tip. I generously tipped on the total balance, not realizing tip was included. Once back at home, attempted to contact the location and never heard back. While it clearly falls on me, think it is crappy when locations tag on service fees for small groups. Mix in a few cocktails, and pretty sure I'm not the only person who fell for this. Don't mind paying island pricing, however the added service charge is annoying especially when you are pretty much expected to walk up to bar and order your drinks. guess the servers had a good tip day. would probably go back, but would be more attentive to the tip surcharge.“

“It is one of the few places open, from what we saw driving around. The island is sadly still dealing with the aftermath of the hurricanes. \nWe loved RC Otter's! \nMy husband and I came for a late breakfast - we were sat immediately, they had live music which was great and the ambiance is a laid back-island vibe. Service was friendly...albeit a bit slow but we weren't in a rush by any means. The French toast was some of the best I've ever had. Super fresh and so yummy - husband loved it also. He had the eggs and ham which he loved as well. Easy parking in their parking lot onsite also. Note...you won't find much parking in the area. We would absolutely love to come back on our next trip.“

“My husband and I just enjoyed dinner there this past Saturday and my goodness!!!.. we were not only blown away by the food, wine and dessert; but the service Kelci provided! The Mullett 3 ways appetizer was incredible. The coconut encrusted mahi with pina colada rice (and don’t even get me started on the crispy scallions!) was DEVINE. To finish off with the PERFECT key lime pie was just…well, perfect! We love Blue Dog, can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to go back and truly ask for Kelci; so on it, so sweet, no rushing, helpful etc. everything positive!“

“Panko fried shrimp Very good! Cooked to perfection. Coleslaw flavorful! Margarita flat bread *amazing. For an appetizer, it was flavorful, colorful, and filling. Chicken tenders *crunchy, juicy, filling. For an appetizer it was enough to fill me for lunch. Mary was our server and she did a fantastic job. Mom and I had Doc's for lunch and have leftovers to enjoy for later and will be back again!“

“Excellent bread. The croissants are super for breakfast“

“Spent a wonderful weekend with my husband, staying at the lodge, enjoying the pool and dining on some of the best food in SWFl. Everyone was kind and helpful. Will definitely be back for a peaceful stay.“

“I’ve been meaning to write this review for weeks, and I’m sorry to have put it off!

My husband and I spent a quiet Thanksgiving together on Sanibel and decided to go out to dinner. Everywhere we tried was booked or closed (totally on us). I finally found Blue Rendezvous, and it seemed romantic and lovely. I’m so glad we found it!

From the start, it felt like walking into a little neighborhood bistro. The hostess/owner was SO kind and accommodating. Being New Englanders, we weren’t afraid of the “cold” (it was in the high 60s…) so we opted to sit outside. We were the only ones out there as we had a later reservation, and it was perfect. The hostess turned the music on and made our little spot so perfect.

When a family with very young children sat down and complained about the service being slow (they had no reservations on a major holiday on a small island, and I was honestly embarrassed at how they were treating the staff), the staff rushed to accommodate their last minute request. The family was not pleased, and left in a hurry; fine by us! The staff clearly felt badly, but they did everything they could, and frankly more, to help these folks who were really not being very gracious. As a business owner and someone who worked in restaurants for a long time, they handled it with grace.

Our waitress was amazing, and had the best suggestions! We both went for the prix fixe menu. Every single thing was delicious, from the French onion soup to the beef bourguignon that tasted exactly how my grandmother made it. The cocktails and wine were the perfect complement, and the crème brûlée was some of the best we’ve ever had!

If you’re on Sanibel, do not miss out on this newer restaurant! The service, food, and experience were 10/10, and we will definitely be back. Thank you!“

“Oh, I so hope the best for the owner rebuilding this perfect restaurant after vicious Ian. This place rates a 5 in all areas! I breakfast here basically every morning regardless how many weeks I stay on Sanibel. Good luck and I’ll be back as soon as possible!??“

“Great food and amazingly friendly staff! We will definitely be back.“

“Well for starters the escargot, raw oysters, and oysters Rockefeller were out of this world. Both the red and white clam chowder were like perfection in a bowl. My entrée was the baked stuffed shrimp and hands down AMAZING. Our waitress was YO and she knew everything about the history of the restaurant to the menu. I was very interested in the collection of oyster shells on the walls and she explained that as well. TEN STARS !!! I recommend to anyone who loves fresh seafood and visits Sanibel Island.“

“Great food, drinks and service. You wouldn't get me to eat fish dip, but the smoked mahi dip was unbelievable! Regulars now.“

“I felt like I was back home. I’m from Pittsburgh and the owners are from there too. I met John and he and his staff made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere is nice, as well as decked out in Steeler paraphernalia. So if you’re a Steelers fan, you will love it. My wife got a BA fish sandwich. It was HUGE, and delicious. We also got a 16” pizza pie, the great white shark. It was delicious. Prices are great, service is terrific and food is hot and fresh. What else can you ask for. We will be back.“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Even better atmosphere!!!! Check it out if you’re in the area.“

“Love island pizza! All the food groups a flavors to make everyone happy!“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“

“We order a few times per month often with modifications. They're diligent and compliant with mods and quickly have it ready to pick up with friendly service. Large servings make more than one meal for one or two people. No complaints but no delivery.
