50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Estero

“Had a wonderful time with my friends we went to the new Seas the Summer menu 3 courses for $39.95! We got an appetizer, entree , and dessert everything was so good. We will definitely be back.“

“My friend and I visited this place nearby and had a delightful Sunday brunch. The bartender/server was incredibly friendly and attentive. We started with a round of the Surf & Turf Bloody Marys, which were refreshing and flavorful. For dessert, we each had a martini, which was a perfect ending to our meal. The Tuna Bites and Shrimp and Grits were also delicious and worth trying. The drink specials were a great addition to the menu. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this restaurant.“

“Having visited several Tommy Bahama Restaurant locations across the country, I approached the Estero outpost with familiar expectations—and found it delivered the brand’s signature blend of relaxed sophistication and dependable quality. On a recent lunch with friends, the restaurant’s inviting setting and attentive service set an easy, convivial tone from the outset.

The menu performs exactly as one hopes for midday dining: fresh, flavorful, and consistently well executed. As with other locations, the lunch offerings shine, providing satisfying yet unfussy dishes well suited to a casual coastal afternoon.

If there is a drawback, it lies in the seating layout. The space feels notably tight, particularly during peak hours, which can make the bustling dining room feel compressed. Still, the lively energy contributes to its charm, and the addition of live music is a welcome touch that enhances the island-inspired ambiance.

For a relaxed, enjoyable lunch with solid cuisine and prime people-watching, Tommy Bahama in Estero remains a reliable and appealing choice.“

“Food was great, service was incredible and the price was surprisingly affordable. Sorry it took us so long to finally stop and give you a try.“

“Aleks Kunov, the regional manager, was especially helpful. We had an expired Ruth’s Chris card issued by our former go-to location in Massachusetts. With the move to Florida 2 years ago, we lost track of the $250 credit. Mr. Kunov was able to restore the credit issued by the other location and let us use it toward our dinner. So many other locations, companies, and managers would have simply said: “Sorry!” We were there with our new neighbors celebrating my wife’s official retirement From the family business after 45+ years! Everyone at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse at Coconut Point mall in Bonita Springs, FL went above and beyond to make our evening perfect!“

“Food and service were amazing. Pasta made fresh in house to order, thus the longer wait time. No boxed pasta here and this is authentic Italian fare. Had homemade lobster ravioli from scratch , and you can definitely taste the difference, Great..“

“Had a nice dinner and a great waitress named Sydney! She made my visit a nice experience! She’s a keeper! Enjoyed the atmosphere also“

“Our waiter Kitch was awesome! There were 4 of us and we all had amazing dinners.“

“My husband and I came in for a fresh seafood dinner and this restaurant did not disappoint. Our waiter, Justin, was incredible from start to finish. His extensive knowledge of the menu offerings coupled with his exuberance had us smiling and laughing like we were speaking with an old friend. We decided to create our own tasting of sorts from the fine selections of fresh seafood. Our meal included the NOLA Oysters which were baked and served with seasoned butter, the crab cake appetizer which was serving of lump crab held together by a crispy sear and no filler, as well as the chilled seafood tower. Every bite from start to finish was delectable. We had crab, lobster, tuna tartar, shrimp and oysters. Each bite was more spectacular than the previous as we sampled each offering. We have already decided the next time we are in town that this restaurant will be a must! 5 Stars out of 5!!“

“Potentially the best NYE restaurant experience ever !!! The wait was minimal, the restaurant was buzzing, the food was prompt and delicious, staff were attentive and professional! The management clearly had this planned and executed perfectly !! 10/10!! Congrats and Happy New Year“

“I was there with 3 friends on 9/10/22. One of the best meals ever! Our server, Antonio, was wonderful. He took great care of us, made us laugh, and made us feel so welcome. Beautiful setting with the best view of the beach. Wish I could eat there every night, and have Antonio serve us. Grade A“

“Come for the oysters stay for the swordfish BLT. We had a dozen East Coast oysters and four West Coast, absolutely outstanding. Additionally they have a bottomless Mimosa, and the swordfish BLT was large enough for my husband and I to share, knowing we were going to order the homemade donuts for dessert. This place is a must visit. Everything was so delicious!!!!“

“Went there Saturday, afternoon, Kate was our EXCELLENT waitress. Place was busy and the service - food was still excellent! Sat outside and really enjoyed our time there. It was perfect, thanks again Kate. It was our 2nd time being there and with quality as such, we will be back!!!“

“Was craving fish tacos on our vacation and came upon this place while searching online for seafood. I can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was! The food was PHENOMENAL! The freshness, quantity, presentation, and service was all 11/10! Fun, upbeat Hispanic music playing and a cute little dining area to sit and eat. Will definitely go out of our way to re-visit next time we are in Florida!
Recommend: fried fish tacos, shrimp ceviche, and the mixed fried rice. The pineapple juice was also amazing!“

“The tuna ceviche & the lobster egg Benedict 😘 so yummy!“

“I need to start by saying the night I went was an advertised event to support this small local business. We arrived at 6pm and got the last 2 seats in the restaurant. Placed was packed and all the staff was not prepared for the evening. So you go with the flow and enjoy the evening. Service was off just due to a full restaurant coming in at 6pm all at once.

The garlic shrimp was amazing and one of the best I have ever had. Food was really good that made the long wait worth it. Nice to know that this small mom and pop restaurant exists. Will definitely come back and try something different.“

“This is my "favorite spot" on Bonita Beach road. We stop by casually for a drink and a bite at the bar.“

“Best Seafood in the area. Wholesale only.“

“My family had the most wonderful meal for their last night in Fl. My husband and I have wanted to eat here for years and finally made it happen. We were treated so wonderfully by Tess, who was most amazing! All our meals were excellent including the soups and salads we all enjoyed. It is such a beautiful place and we were totally happy with the experience. I would totally recommend The Prawnbroker!“

“Great food but most importantly, great people make this restaurznt the best of it's kind anywhere in SW Florida. Shrimp portions are generous and if you like real southern cooking. Their authentic gumbo and creole jambalaya will warm your heart. If you happen to want an even warmer heart, you can up the heat with the ghost pepper version. You will encounter some great cooks and some attentive servers who will make your visits habit-forming!“

“I had a delicious shrimp cocktail- unlike any other shrimp cocktail I’ve had…shrimp swimming in fresh salsa and fresh avocado slice. It was a meal in itself. I even took some home, and it became my appetizer with dinner the next night. Not only was it delicious, it was a great value. Our server was attentive, and it really felt like part of the local scene. You must check out this local Bonita Springs gem.“

“Had a wonderful dinner and reminded me of the original Doug’s seafood. It was especially good and cooked to perfection. Very fresh and reasonably priced. I highly recommend coming back to Doug’s Seafood….It’s just like the original! 😋“

“Very good food and great service. The lounge singer was extremely loud and not that good. Disappointing.“

“It's a sea food place. Seafood themed. The drinks were really good. We brought in our own fish that we caught that day and they cooked it up for us. The blackening has a little kick to it but it had a really good flavor and I don't mind the heat but just a warning.. service was very attentive and we had multiple service check on us throughout the evening.“

“Good start with steamed clams. The establishment was great. Great food at fair prices, with a casual dress code. The broiled haddock and Red Grouper topped with real crab meat was very good. Service was fast and friendly.“

“The Fish House in Boni­ta Springs is the kind of Old Florida waterfront spot that feels more discovered than designed. Weathered and a bit worn around the edges, the structure wears its history proudly—having endured countless storms and seasons, its resilience is part of the appeal. That lived-in character places it comfortably among the area’s casual seafood shacks, though the menu offers touches that rise above standard bar fare. On a recent lunch visit with friends, we opted for outdoor seating on a beautiful day. The waterside setting delivered exactly what one hopes for in Southwest Florida: sun, breeze, and an unhurried atmosphere. Service was efficient and friendly, with our server keeping the table well tended without intruding on conversation. Our group sampled a range of entrées, and the mahi-mahi stood out as particularly well prepared—fresh, flavorful, and worth recommending. Others at the table were equally pleased with their selections, and the alfresco setting enhanced the overall experience. The Fish House succeeds by leaning into its strengths: honest seafood, a relaxed waterfront setting, and a sense of place that feels authentically coastal. It’s an ideal stop for a satisfying meal in the Florida sun, where the ambiance is as restorative as the food“

“Nice place, food is great, but the music is way too loud, is hard to keep a conversation without having to raise your voice. Music needs to be tuned down.“

“Had the soft shell crab sandwich and it was good.“

“The food is outstanding and fresh! We visit every time we come down to Florida!“

“We just had the most amazing meal at your location. We’ve always loved Pinchers, but had never been to the Gulf Coast Town Centre location. We had such friendly upbeat service from Jacob and we thoroughly loved our crabcakes and grouper dishes and love the decor too. It’s so festive. Will be back again when we visit from Canada. Thanks for the wonderful experience!!“

“We always enjoy the wine dinners!“

“Very nice restaurant! Very good food and service! Be hungry, they serve a ton of great Mexican food!“

“Most flavorful seafood boil I've ever had. Will be back again“

“March wine dinner “Crushing It” at Gulfcoast Carrabba’s was amazing! Our server Brenda was adorable, cute as a button, fun and efficient. Food prepared under the watchful eye of Chef Dustin was absolutely delicious, blackberry whipped ricotta was mouth-watering, the wine perfectly complimented the food and Eldon the Managing Partner created friendly casual atmosphere and made sure all guests felt valued and happy. We’ll definitely come back to another wine dinner at this location!“

“Come check it out. Great place!“

“First time but not our last. Food was excellent. Server was attentive and made great suggestions. It was a Monday night, in season, we made reservations and arrived promptly at 5:30 and was surprised it was empty with only a few other patrons. This was only the 2nd Indian restaurant I've been to and I can't wait to go back and try something new! We enjoyed the Tamarind Eggplant appetizer, Chicken Korma, I had the option to increase the heat and went with medium, which was perfect. Others ordered Mango Shrimp with added heat to spicy which was very good. The dry fruit & nut Peshwari Naan was tasty, more like a dessert or appetizer then for dipping into the entree sauces. It was my Birthday and they surprised us with a serving of carrot halwa and 2 gulab jamoon (fried cheese dumplings in sweet syrup) for desert..both of which were very tasty, as I was not sure at first what to expect, but I'll be going back and ordering them again!“

“Food here was amazing. At first glance you may not know what this place is packing. But I assure you they’re not lacking and only packing HEAT! Had multiple types of sushi, and varying types of cold and hot sake. Including multiple flavors of hot sake!“

“Great bartender! Jessenia Alcon was very vey welcoming and knowledgeable, with excellent recommendations. Drinks came out perfect, and the service was smooth and friendly the whole time. Definitely a highlight of the visit! 🍸 Will definitely come back ! Thank you Jessenia!“

“Excellent meal last night started with Outstanding coconut martini, Chilian sea bass, and finished with coffee and baklava. Excellent service, going back on Sunday with my friends to introduce them to this wonderful restaurant.“

“Absolutely loved this little hibachi gem! The atmosphere is small, intimate, and cozy, which made the whole experience feel so personal and relaxing. The food was unbelievably fresh and flavorful. Every bite was delicious, from the perfectly cooked hibachi to the amazing sauces. You can really tell they put care into both the food and the experience. Definitely one of those places you leave already planning your next visit 🍱🔥“

“Our return visit tonight to this eatery was another fantastic dinner. Our servers Chandler and Connor delivered professional and friendly table service with clear descriptions of each item. Our dishes of Charred Octopus, Pork Buns, and Crab & Lobster in a Jar were superb. The desserts of Sous Vide Custard and Sweet Potato Beignets made for a great ending to a great overall experience. The Bohemian team is firing on all cylinders and we will be certain to come back soon.“

“So impressed with the food and staff! Amazed at how beautifully they worked together to present an exquisite meal! Thank you to each person!“

“Just a quick shout out to Dyana and the Mango Team. I meant to post this earlier, but we enjoyed their service, food and entertainment offered on stage for.the evening of 9/27. A great time was had by all. Menu prices are very fair compaired to other venues. Kudos to all! We will be back for sure.“

“Purchase 5 lbs fresh caught shrimp and took then to visit my son ans family in Tennesse. They were outstanding. Recommend you buy your shrimp from them , you will get none better and very good prices“
