New American Restaurants near North Fort Myers, FL

“The Nest at Heron’s Glen provides great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere! We dine here often and love the variety of great tasting food offered. They offer healthy options for lunch and dinner as well as bar menu items if craving that type of meal. This is a perfect place to bring guests or other golfers after playing a round on the Heron’s Glen Championship Golf Course. Our friends love dining there as well. During season, they also offer a fabulous breakfast buffet, which includes a complimentary mimosa. This is a true gem! Fantastic dining experience!!“

“🤓I am not much of a detective, (except when the crime is grammar, ha ha), yet I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate the the hard work and professionalism of everyone at Ft MMMDT: five star dinner and five star experience. I note Amanda, a SemGulf All Star, and am most appreciative of her. She took several frantic phone calls from me because I couldn't even solve the mysteries of Waze and Maps circling Colonial Blvd, Winkler, Metro, Hanson, and Airport for one hour before arriving at the depot at 6:20pm. Despite our tardiness, Amanda shepherded us to our train car where John (aka Major Drake Payne) and Taylor (our principal server) calmly and efficiently repeated what they had already instructed passengers. The troop brought nourishment and entertainment as the train rocked.I apologize to the car's prompt passengers also--or perhaps, they realized that I was no competitive sleuth--heck, I couldn't find a massive train much less nab a felon. 🤓“

“A group of four of us were served by Dylan G. None of us were very tech savvy, so we had some difficulty with the app. Dylan could not have been more patient, and helped us get through the entire process. The food was delicious! Dylan took very good care us, making sure we getting what we wanted. Thank you for making our visit a good one!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I just don’t understand when you walk into a restaurant and the hostess sees that you’re using a cane or a walker why do they always take you to the furthest table in the place????? I guess most people aren’t observant or just plain stupid!!!!“

“Although it's been years since I've been, I still have dreams of this place. If you like amazing food, innovative menu's that aren't crazy complicated, and supporting small businesses, I highly recommend them. I wish the family of Fat Katz Sports Bistro all my love, it was a pleasure working with you back when your doors opened, and it makes me so happy to see you still living the dream! For those looking for food like none other in the area, check this place out. My only words of warning is this place is popping and the food is fresh so please be patient with waiting times! For those looking for employment in the kitchen (if they are still hiring) It's a lot of hard work but if you work with the boss as a team I promise the day fly's by fast and you will learn so much to bring with you for your future years cooking.“

“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.????“

“Mel’s Diner Cape Corral 3-4-25 Stopped by Mel’s on Monday around 12:30pm. This place was clean, neat, and busy. We got seated right away and Dee Dee was our waitress. I ordered the Western Black Angus Chopped Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Corn. My wife and our friend ordered the Mel’s Classic Cheeseburger with Cheese, Lettice, Tomato, Onions, Coleslaw, and Fries. Once our order came out my Chopped Steak was amazing. The Chopped Steak had Onions piled high on the top and lots of Gravy, it was so good. My wife and our friends Burger were done perfectly, and the Fries were just yummy and even the Coleslaw was good. All our food was hot and plenty of it as we had to get a to go box to take some home. Once done we ordered two Milkshakes, one Chocolate and one Strawberry. They were very good if you like old fashion Milkshakes get yourself one for sure. I must give this Mel’s 5 out of 5 stars for the great service from Dee Dee, the good food and great Milkshakes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews Gulf Coast Terry“

“I would like the home delivery meals to be served a little more, for example the rice is very little and please make the chicharrones bigger and put more in the order because I saw few of them compared to other restaurants and you pay them for the price what they put“

“Liz is amazing at the bar ! we go most Sunday afternoons! Food is also amazing.“

“We recently visited here and dinner was amazing. We started with a great mocktail and French onion soup, was delicious! The egg rolls were so tasty, should be a dinner itself! I had the spicy chicken sandwhich omg amazing. No words. Tender juicy chicken and hubby had the smash burger. Another great meal. You can tell the quality of the food was the best! The atmosphere was fun and the staff were very polite and attentive! I would definitely recommend 10 Twenty for your dinner plans!“

“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 : )“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve been too in a long time !!! Food is fantastic!!“

“R&R is the best little pub around! We always enjoy our weekend visit. there. The atmosphere is fun, the music is always good and the staff are great!“

“Nevermind made our Sunday! My daughters and I visited on April 6, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the DJ's music was a hit with my kids, and the service was exceptional. Fawn, Hanna, and another incredibly kind staff member (who even brought my daughters cupcakes!) made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a fun afternoon. We'll definitely be back!“

“My dad always takes me out for breakfast so this time we went to Fowler Street Grill.
The inside is very small and cluttered. We weren’t sure if we can just pick a table or wait for someone to seat us. The vibe is like family, it was evident that the same people eat there often.
The food was really good! I had two eggs over easy with bacon,? toast, and home fries (whenever I go out for breakfast, I always ask them melt American cheese over it with peppers and onions. I call it “sexy home fries”)? I also had a cup of coffee which comes in a real size coffee mug, not a small one the rest of the diners use. ☕️ The only problem I had was that the eggs weren’t completely done, ? it still had the clear, raw part of the egg. I don’t send food back so I just ate everything else because it was soooo good ?

“Tonight, my fiance and I, along with a couple of friends, enjoyed a delightful dinner at Christoph’s on McGregor. Housed in a beautifully remodeled turn-of-the-century home, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly compliments the dining experience. We ordered lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, scallops with risotto, Caprese salad, warm bread, cheesecake, and homemade Key lime pie. The lasagna was, as always, delicious and served in a generous portion. The spaghetti came with impressively large meatballs—definitely enough to share—and was packed with flavor. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the risotto was wonderfully creamy. The cheesecake however lacked flavor, but the homemade key lime pie was amazing! It was a fantastic meal in a charming setting—truly a wonderful evening!“

“We love coming here ♥️ Always a good time and awesome sushi!!!“

“My birthday cake went in the trash! Needed something quickly! After searching the internet for what I needed, I called. They could help me out! I really was in a big fix! I grabbed a couple of my cake tiers..and went to see what she held for me... they were very delicious cupcakes! At the party, when friends asked where I got them...people knew.."Oh..the little place.."..ayuh...watch out for those small unpretentious little shops in a plaza...its a GEM! I plan on being their customer.“

“We tried it for the first time last week and everything was great! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the service was spot-on!“

“Our waitress, Celina, was absolutely exceptional!!! Super friendly and so very kind! We ate there on a Friday and went back a week later and she remembered our names and greeted us by name, as soon as she saw us!!“

“Beautiful setting overlooking the marina. I dined here with 3 friends this evening and we all had a great experience. All 4 dishes were well prepared and delicious. Our waitress was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was Friday night so we were able to hear the talented oldies band playing in the square area. Definitely recommend!“

“Bloody Mary was awesome. Prime Rib Sandwich was on point! Great place!“

“One of our favorite places to go to for date night!“

“We dined here this evening and our meal was superb! Robert was our server and he was so fantastic. He had a wonderful personality and even gave us a complimentary dessert as celebration for my husband finishing up cancer treatments. If you haven’t eaten here, make your reservation now!“

“Mom an I took my niece a nephew there to play in the arcade and Bowl. We had an amazing time! Wish the arcade had more working games and more verity and was a little more cheaper but was fun overall.“

“Really good burger, fries & onion rings. Ally was a superb server.“

“Great Service, Great Prices and very convenient.“
