“Amazing Thai❣️ Cosy - Delicious- Friendly ❤️“

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

“I'm staying at the hotel across the street and I missed breakfast here at the hotel so I drove over to the waffle house. They were super busy but I was greeted with kindness by Elaine the server. I am hard of hearing Ava she had on a mask so I really cutting hear her from over the counter. She kindly came around and took my to go order. The kindness she gave me was priceless! The food was great as usual and I had a great experience there. So thank you! 🙏🩷🕉️“

“The only place open after a late-night flight! Ordered margarita flatbread. It was fresh, hot and so good! Great service!“

“Great atmosphere. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Service was fantastic - our server was super personable and on point. The whole 4 course meal did not disappoint. As always, the cheeses (all of them are delicious), the main course (meats, seafood, and veggies), and the desserts were amazing. Such a great night and really brings the family together.“

“La Ola Surfside Bell Tower Shops 3-29-25 Stopped by on around 11:15a on a Saturday. We were the first people in to sit at a table. This place was clean, neatly organized and gave us a beachy vibe with all the Reggae music playing throughout. Janet our waitress came over fast and took our drink orders. Once our drinks were delivered, she took our food orders. I ordered the Fish & Chips which came with Fried Fish, Fries & Coleslaw. My wife ordered the Lobster Roll which came with Lobster on a Toasted Bun with Lettice and for her side she got the Coleslaw. Our orders came out in reasonable time and all our food looked amazing. My Fish was light and not heavy on the breading just how I like it. I loved the fish and Tartar Sauce that came with it. The Fries were very good and even the Coleslaw was good as it had some Pineapple in it. My wife loved her Lobster Roll and Coleslaw. She is from Maine and stated it was one of the best Lobster Rolls she had in this area so far. All our food was hot and plenty of it. Janet kept on top of things checking on us a bunch of times. We will return here or stop by Ft. Myers Beach location as to try them all. Everyone needs to stop by and give this place a try you will not be sorry. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars for the good food, great service, and beachy vibes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews Gulf Coast Terry“

“First, kudos to our waiter Lee. He was very enthusiastic, knew the products, and made very good menu recommendations which we ordered. I enjoyed my grilled scallops and my companion enjoyed her chicken trio. He also introduced us to the $10 carryout which we also ordered. The only thing that wasn't spot-on was my overcooked broccoli.“

“We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary last night March 6, 2025! We were very impressed. The food was amazing and the staff was very accommodating! Chef Harold, you’ve done an amazing job!“

“The best pizza in town finally in FORT Myers,, Real good outstanding pizza place to go and enjoy dinner with your love ones“

“If I could give MISSION BBQ and their team a million stars, I would. It is simply the BEST food I’ve ever had. Their team of employees are courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. I will be recommending this restaurant as a must try to experience what taste buds would call, truly divine! The perfect order that I got to experience: 3 Meat Sampler Sliced Brisket, Carvers Choice, Sliced Turkey, 2 bone Baby Back Ribs, No Combo, Cold Slaw, Seasonal Potato - Baked Cheesy Potatoes“

“Excellent excellent excellent“

“My boyfriend and I came here for a late-night date while on vacation. He’s a pretty picky eater and doesn’t like most foods, but I love sushi, so we decided to give this place a try. It was one of the only restaurants open at 11 PM, and we were craving something good.

When we got there, we were a little nervous because the area looked rough, but as soon as we stepped inside, we felt more at ease. The restaurant wasn’t fancy, but it had an authentic and homey feel, like a hidden gem you’re glad you found.

The best part of our experience was the chef—he was incredibly kind and funny, and it really felt like he put love into his cooking. We ordered ramen, sushi, and gyoza, and everything was cooked so well. You could tell the food was made with care, and it had that warm, comforting quality that made it even better.

Since we were the only ones there, the service was amazing, but beyond that, the chef’s kindness really made the night special. We appreciated him so much that we tipped him $20 because he genuinely made the experience memorable for us.

If you’re looking for a late-night sushi spot with heart, this place is absolutely worth visiting. It may not be in the best area, but the food, the atmosphere, and the wonderful service make it feel like a special find. We’re really glad we gave it a chance! :)“

“We recently dined at Ella Mai’s Diner in downtown Fort Myers inside the Luminary Hotel and had a mostly positive experience. I ordered the grilled cheese with tater tots—the sandwich had great flavor, but the generous amount of cheese made it a bit soggy. The tater tots, however, were crispy and delicious.

My friend went with the BLT and a side of broccoli, and she absolutely loved it, calling the sandwich one of the best she’s had. The broccoli was fresh and crisp, which was a nice touch.

The atmosphere was cozy, and our server was friendly, but the hostess felt a bit cold and unwelcoming, which didn’t make for the best first impression. That said, the prices were reasonable, especially considering the restaurant is inside the Luminary Hotel, a stunning location with beautiful views of the Caloosahatchee River.

Despite the minor issues, I’d definitely return to try more from the menu!“

“Maks. What a great spot. The food was amazing and the Service was even better. 😊“

“LOVE this place! One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. The breakfast burrito is as big as a meatloaf, and the homemade donuts are to die for! Staff was really friendly, service was great, and the decor is so colorful and fun! Best of all is their mission to help foster kids! My only “complaint” is that they are in Ft Myers and not in Cincinnati ❤️“

“Stopped in with friends and spent a while enjoying the healthy and full flavor of the best quality pizza in SWFL! I had the gluten free crust and it was simply the best gluten free I have had. It's basically the most amazing thin crust pizza you will have and the bonus is gluten free. The rest of the gang had regular personal sized pizzas and a Stromboli that was tremendous. All full of flavor and best quality. if you save room grab a canoli pizza! You will keep going back more and more!“

“It was my first time dining at Ember and it was absolutely phenomenal! I cannot remember our waiters name but he was worked there since the opening of Ember and he was amazing and very knowledgeable. He made great suggestions. Great place and even better food!“

“I’ve not had much food from India and we’ve been to the restaurant twice now. The food is absolutely delicious! Fresh vegetables and excellent sauces. The service is great and it’s also very comfortable and clean. Can’t wait to try new dishes.“

“Our first time here last night 10/31 and we loved it! The show “Chicago” was excellent and so was the food!!!! Def come hungry! We can’t wait to come back!!!!!“

“A must go to…definitely a diner feel. They treated me and my family with such kindness. Including a raving little 2 year old. Service was quick. Breakfast was delicious. We cleared the plates.“

“The best in SWFL! Best time you’ll ever have in a parking lot“

“We recently moved right down the road from Marti’s and this has become our favorite breakfast place. I grew up going to Pete’s Time Out on Fort Myers Beach, went almost every weekend until we no longer could and they had the best breakfast. I am so happy we found Marti’s because it’s just as good, if not better!!! Everyone there is so friendly. Support your local business, it’s worth every penny 🥰“

“Love the food and atmosphere“

“Tacos and tequila is my friends and i’s favorite place to go when we want to have a good time. David is our favorite bartender and he always takes amazing care of us. The food is always amazing and the blood orange margarita is my favorite! I highly recommend this place and if you’re ever coming for a drink ask for David!“

“I LOVE this restaurant! Best pizza in town!“

“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“

“Great good…great service.“

“Visited from southern Delaware over Thanksgiving. Wasn't sure where to eat Thanksgiving dinner, so Googled and Mel's Diner was serving it. Called to make a reservation, but they were booked. Was told they were accepting walk-ins, call on our way and they'd put us on the list. Was able to get seated right away, party of 2! I had the turkey dinner and my beau had ham dinner... delicious, just like home. Our server (Cody?) was lovely and the owner took the time to check on us. It's no wonder Mel's has great reviews. I highly recommend and look forward to our next visit. Thank you, Mel's Diner for hosting Thanksgiving dinner!🙏“

“I have heard so much about DHOP that I finally went. I would rank it within my top 5 pizzas I have had in SWFL. Sauce was perfect and the cheese was high quality, the dough was average for me. We will definitely stop in again when we are in downtown “

“The breakfast was fantastic I met for other Marines there celebrating the Marine Corps 248th birthday today I was served by Ciara and she was outstanding! Both the coffee and the biscuits were the best I’ve had in some years! The service was impeccable! At my check out was a woman from Albania, and I got to share that I was in the Balkans during the Bosnian war.! She said thank you! it’s nice to find a great breakfast with great people in such a excellent atmosphere I highly recommend this place!“

“It’s good for great food in a family atmosphere“

“Arriving at Fort Myers I wanted to go and have brunch at a nice place and Watch golf coast was the place for me. good food, good drinks, nice atmosphere, great service 👍🏼 I will go back 💯“

“Absolutely love this place! I don't know where to start! The staff: Every person I've met from the cashier, the waitress, even the people cleaning the tables, have been absolutely wonderful, so kind, welcoming and accommodating! Customer service wise I'd say they are the Chick Fil A of restaurants. I honestly can not think of another restaurant where I have enjoyed the atmosphere this much. The Food: Makes me feel like I'm at home! I have been in Florida since October for work, and when I start missing home, their food hits the spot! Everything I've had has been on point, like my grandmother is in the kitchen! I have started planning my meals for the week around their daily specials! Highly recommend!“

“Went to this little gem twice in two days. After having the most delicious pumpkin ravioli and side salad. Other diners enjoyed soups, salads, mahi tacos, truffle fries and Mediterranean wrap. Everyone encountered here was friendly and helpful with guiding us with our orders. They have a decent beer and wine selection for a small place (if that’s a priority) to accompany your meal. We will definitely put this on our must visit list each trip to the Ft Myers area.“

“Husband and I went last night and the food and sushi bar chefs were amazing!“

“Mixed feelings. The food and service were great as usual. We went as a family of 8, did the 45m to 1 hour wait and was seated in N/W corner. The problem was that for the hour before seating and after being seated no one from the restaurant mentioned to us that the A/C was not working! Our server confirmed and even told us to use the menu insert as a fan. Needless to say we felt deceived and made it a night to remember, for the wrong reason.“

“Wonderful food we always recommend to everyone that comes down Very friendly“

“The food is so delicious with wonderful service.“

“Honestly this place is amazing I loved working here and having fun with my family members and I can’t wait to come back to work“

“The eggs Benedict (The Benny) may have been the best I ever eaten. Perfectly prepared. The home fries with a nice amount of grilled onions were great. Service was very good - friendly, quick, and attentive. Ask for the square coffee cups : )“

“I was sat instantly by an amazing staff. The restaurant is clean. My food was hot. Andie was very polite and attentive. I was very happy with all aspects of my time here at downtown fort Myers first watch. I look forward to returning! Thanks to everyone.“

“The food was good, but we won’t be coming back as you are so cheap that you charge to use a credit card. Just thought I would express my opinion. There are plenty of other great breakfast restaurants.“

“The osetra caviar is decent. Momma Mia Oysters are great. I don't like bluepoint. The lobster roll is massive and they did an ok job on risotto. I prefer it over Gordon Ramsey. I would rather go here than Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas.“

“Great Food and Brunch ! 👌“

“All I can say is… Wow. In our three winters in Florida, we had not experienced this exquisite place. Tonight was the night we first tried it - I’m kicking myself that it took us so long. The place is one block off of downtown Fort Myers First Street. It consists of two old homes, conjoined, with a valet parking lot. Though we consulted the menu before heading there, we were woefully ill prepared by the enormous wine list and their multiple specials for the evening. Starting at the bar with a pre-dinner drink, we were met by a lovely young lady who gave us the history of the place. Drinking our drinks, she was a delight to speak with. As it was midweek and preseason, we were able to get a table quite easily. Reservations are highly recommended though! Robert was our waiter, and he was an absolute gem. Gave us the rundown of his favorites on the menu upon our request, and gave us ample time to review the menu. We opted for two different steak entrées, and had the table side spinach/hot bacon salad prepared. First course: bread. Yummy rye with cornbread muffins…. They got our taste buds roaring. Next was the tableside salad. Brought out on a wheeled cart with a small gas stove, Robert created a complete masterpiece for us in front of our very eyes. Highly highly highly recommend the spinach/hot bacon dressing salad for 2. Finally, our entrées. Husband had the ribeye and I had the tenderloin. Disclaimer: We are Wisconsinites who love our beef, and are not fond of Florida’s grass fed beef. We were told by Robert that the steaks were beyond reproach, and he was absolutely accurate. Perfectly prepared at medium rare, both steaks were some of the best we’ve ever had…. And we are foodies! I requested mine to be rolled in cracked pepper, the chef followed my directive perfectly. The steaks were very ample for the price point, and included a house salad, whipped potatoes, and vegetables. For the quality of the food, this was very reasonably priced in our opinion. After attacking our meal, we decided to check out the dessert menu. Decided to split a Keylime pie piece, and it was completely wonderful. All desserts are homemade in house. Overall impressions: this place is an absolute must do for special occasions. If you love good food and are OK with paying a fair price, this should be a frequent stop. I’m embarrassed that we have not tried it before, we will become regulars after this visit. Staff was wonderful, the atmosphere is gorgeous, the wine list is extensive, the atmosphere is upscale yet not pretentious. They do offer valet parking, and after 5 PM parking on the street is free. Thank you,Veranda, for an absolutely fabulous dinner. Looking forward to our many leftovers tomorrow. See you soon!!!“

“Love everything about the restaurant!“

“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!“

“What a fabulous brunch for 5 ladies this past Sunday . It was rainy and gloomy, but we had an amazing time at Fancy’s Southern Cafe. Our server Danielle was amazing, very friendly and professional, she checked on our special requests w the chef. The food arrived quickly and it was soooo delicious. We split few apps : fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, doughnuts, fried frog 🐸 legs (omg ..the best frog legs I ve had anywhere)! I had catfish w waffles, my friends had mountain man omelette, sausage gravy and biscuits, crab Benedict, sausage patties, pancakes, Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious 🤤, everyone was happy. Oh ye..and we did bottomless mimosas ..$23 a person, was def worth the price w 4 dif juices to choose from to accompany. We ll be def back to such a fine establishment in Ft Myers, FL!!!“

“We were a party of 12. Arrived at almost closing time and the young lady that attended to us was so welcoming. The attention service was beyond our expectation. Food amazing we gave our compliments to the chief seasoning on point. Will definitely be back when in the area.“
