Im not one to post reviews but on this one I had to. Food was TERRIBLE.
Location and views are fantastic. Service was a tad slow but fine—they were busy.
Now to the food Charcuterie- wouldn’t order it again but it was ok
Seared tuna—inedible. Off-white color thru out with just a hint of light pink in the middle. Just bad
Shishito peppers- undercooked and bland
Edemame- undercooked and soggy—must have been frozen and microwaved in a bag
Bao buns- these were solid
Skewered shrimp—overcooked and basically glued on the skewer. Oddly sticky
Wagyu sliders- overcooked and zero flavor
Fig arugula flatbread- inedible
Honestly I’ve never been to a place where the food was all this bad. I can understand a dish being off but 6/8 things we ordered were just plain bad.

I will begin by stating that I rarely leave reviews, but what happened today needs to be shared. I reserved and paid to have our company holiday luncheon at the Beacon Social located on the 12th floor or the Luminary Hotel. It was a group of 20. Food was good, service was good, until the bill arrived. We were charged for 12 shots of Don Julio 1942 Tequila @ $40/each, when only regular tequila shots of tequila were ordered, that's $18/each. When we asked to s/w manager we received "did you drink it". Well yes, but we didn't order that specific brand of tequila, just regular tequila. Said manager proceeded to call security to have us escorted out of the restaurant b/c " we refused to pay the bill"... no ma'am. We were inquiring about the bill ... very different. Long story short, after today's sad experience w/ management at the Beacon Social Drinkery many of us will not return. We were treated with disrespect and like we were trying to "skip" on a tab that was well over $3,500. We paid the tab at $40/tequila even though we didn't request nor receive that. But this is beyond cost or money, this is about lack of respect and lack of professionalism. Be very careful what you order and what you're actually charged for.

A very nice rooftop bar in the historic district of Fort Myers. The bar is also accessible to visitors. The drinks menu is extensive and our French Rose was delicious. A very nice place for a chilled rose at sunset.

Arrived Last night with a few friends to have drinks. We were seated in a corner table overlooking the river. After about 20 minutes, we are to go ask the bartender to send someone over so that we could order. A gentleman came over and took our order, the first round totaling over $100 in drinks. He returned about 10 minutes later, no drinks in hand but to tell us they were out of the drinks we ordered. We re-selected, although we were quite confused that they could be out of everything we ordered, waited another 15 Minutes and no-one came back. So we got up and left. As we were walking out, the hosted said "Thanks For Coming" and I stated that we were there for over 45 minutes and never received a drink. Her response was, "Oh well Maybe Next Time". There will not be a next time.

This place has an incredible view but holy moly is it overpriced. We have never spent this kind of money on drinks in Fort Myers. New York City prices in southwest Florida. Crazy!
Sat a at table, no reservation for the first Sunday Brunch. Had the quinoa bowl - recommended they as a chicken protein option - and a couple glasses of wine, friend had quiche. Excellent attentive service, accessible, dining drinks in and outside. Great view. Free 1 day + 18hr street parking the Saturday we were there.

We went for “happy hour” on a Friday - sat outside - The view is incredible, the interior modern and pretty - the waitress we got was whatever - not great not bad just whatever… She said they finally got rid of the happy hour (?) therefore there’s no happy hour specials - drinks were fine (completely overpriced but I guess you are paying for the view) couple of appetizers nothing special (20 bucks for a 6 inch flatbread lol) - this place has so much potential - every other bar in downtown fort myers was rocking - maybe that’s what the current management wants - empty tables so there’s always one available for a wandering googler who wanted to check out this prime real estate rooftop bar - won’t go back for now…

Rooftop bar in downtown Fort Myers with gorgeous views of the Caloosahatchee River.We sat inside at the bar and the views from inside or outside do not disappoint. We had a couple drinks and an order of pork potstickers. Service was awesome.

Best place to view the Ft. Myers skyline. It is beautiful to watch sunsets and to see the lights around the city at night. The drinks are tasty and the service is always top tier. Their little bites to eat are all delicious and it’s always a good time.
