“Went by boat and discovered some new and improved docking which was nice! I ordered the pulled pork quesadilla and it was loaded with meat. Very good! Husband ordered the crab cake dinner and it came with 3 delicious cakes. They were fried just right and loaded with crab meat. We liked each others dishes so much we ended up switching. Waitress was nice and attentive. We'll be back for sure!“

“Just want to give Farlows a big thanks for always making our experience there a happy one. My husband and I celebrated our 39th anniversary at Farlows and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Sisters! Wow! Great food. Fun outdoor atmosphere. Deck dining with umbrellas for shade. Indoor atmosphere seems old school and clique-would recommend seating outside. Menu has great Italian fare offerings. Lots of apps, salads and entrees. Our server Jax was amazing!! It was a busy Saturday. Takeout was happening and all tables were full! We were a large party and he more than accommodated all of our requests, he was generous, helpful and happy. The other servers and hostesses we encountered looked miserable and acted so- we were so pleased to have Jax! Calzone, pizza, tuna salad, Cesar salad, chicken Parmesan, all tasted great! The dipping oil is very tasty to accompany the bread prior to the meal. Would definitely come back here next time we are in Boca Grande“

“Went in bar one afternoon because it looked very edgy. What a find. Very old Florida with a neat history. Tried to make a reservation but they would booked. Called the next day and had a cancellation for dinner. Best in Boca. The environment is beautiful and food and service is superior. If you are in the area and can get in don’t miss“

“Don't pay attention to the old reviews you see. I did and it kept me from dining here for quite some time. Friends invited us out for dinner and said we needed to give Placida Grill a try. I'm so happy we did. The food was delicious and the service was great. It's a much cuter place on the inside than what it looks on the outside. Reservations are preferred. You can make them by calling the restaurant. Looking forward to going back.“

“Where do I start? Well, you will walk In to a very fun and laid back atmosphere that is crewed by a very young but professional and efficient team. The menu is mostly made up of seafood dishes but there are a few land lover options. We opted for the conch fritters, conch chowder and Ceasar salad to start which were all amazing. The chowder and fritters had more conch meat in them then any other restaurants I have tried. We washed the appetizers down with extremely cold and fairly priced beers. For the main course we chose a blackened shrimp scampi and blackened scallop scampi both of which were absolutely amazing. The place was packed and again run by a team of young professionals that kept the operation running like a Swiss made watch. Erin, who seemed to be our main server really stuck out handling the bar, taking tables in the dining room, handling to go orders and working the dish machine without skipping a beat and maintaining a smile and pleasant attitude. We will return to this location every time we are in ft myers!!“

“If you want a beach side tiki bar, this is the spot. The food is really good. Haven't had anything bad. Service is fast, no matter how busy they are. Inside seats, outside seats. You can get drunk and listen to live music. All the drinks that say "IAM AT THE BEACH". We absolutely love this place. We spent a lot of money here drinking. Food prices are very reasonable.“

“I go here twice a year when I fly in from NYC. This time I didn't realize that I was waiting for service on my table. Like I said I love this place. Travis the manager came came by and said I heard you was wanting awhile to be served. Who rat us out, lol. He said desert is on the house. Who does that, a restaurant that goes above and beyond for there customers. Like I said I love this place!!!“

“If you like to eat where the locals eat... here it is! Nothing fancy here but it's clean. The food is good, the service is good and the prices are reasonable. We've just added this to our list of favorite breakfast spots too! PS. Try the crabmeat omelette!!“

“Great little establishment, one of the best burgers I have had in quite some times. Good portions and right by the water. Staff were kind and knowledgeable about the area. Their atmosphere was hole in the wall style which I love.Dietary restrictions: Nothing labeled as gluten free, but truly wasn't an expectation with the type of reasturant. My Gluten Free party member ate a burger without a bun just fine so that's a win in our book.“

“We were so impressed with the service and the quality of the food. It was very delicious. We were in town for two days for a family funeral and the owners of Isabella’s were able to cater an incredible meal for about 30 people within less than 24 hours notice. We will forever be grateful to your kindness. We loved it all…. And everyone enjoyed the food very much!“

“When I first talked in I didn't have high hopes for this place. You wait outside but you can't eat outside. Food is fried but you get huge portions. It's very good if you like fried seafood. We thought it was great and I'm giving it 5 stars. The atmosphere is just ok but come for the food. Service was good too. Did I say you get a huge amount of food? No charge to split plates.“

“Best place for The freshest Seafood you can get. They catch there own Stone Crab & shrimp are purchased right off the boats for the freshest around The grouper & Red Snapper are also the freshest when available. This Owners & there Family are Local for Multigenerational to the Englewood Area and know there Seafood. Thanks Monica Nick & Marlene“

“We had Stefano’s cater our Christmas party, the food was amazing! The staff all raved about how delicious everything was! The chicken Marsala was so good, the salad dressing had to be homemade, it was delicious. I look forward to using them again!“

“We were there on 3/13/24 for our first time. Wish I could remember our waiter’s name! He was so attentive. The food was awesome! We are from Minnesota and I was excited to try some fresh seafood, but wanted to keep it to a local place. The laid back environment was a bonus. Highly recommend for the food, staff and atmosphere.“

“A must see in Boca Grande. Very nice ambience with outdoor seating and in the indoor restaurant, which is decorated in American style with high quality wooden furniture. Super friendly service. Great drinks (also non-alcoholic) and IPA on tap. Be sure to try the guacumole and the burger!Parking: Directly adjacent to the restaurant“

“I got a sandwich here when visiting Boca Grande last weekend. It was the best chicken salad sandwich I have ever had. Enjoyed eating in the beautiful garden area behind Boca Blooms across the street per the suggestion of the person who served me at Newlins.“

“Scarpa's Coastal Restaurant on Boca Grande is a true hidden gem!The food was in one word, INSANE!!The mini crab cake for an appetizer was truly amazing! Our meal was one to remember and we will return. Owner Ashley, manager Sarah and their team are exceptional in hospitality. A must visit!“

“Great place. We needed a lunchtime seafood fix & it exceeded. Oysters big, tasty & shucked perfect. Coconut shrimp better then usual. Lobster roll was 5*. I've had all over in De., L, .I.,NY and here are better. Fresh, & hand cut fries, great coleslaw & young lady server was excellent.Would take this over Farlows anytime. Nothing against Farlows, but...“

“This is another fun place—a restaurant next to the marina (Boca Grande)—. So, good food, reasonable prices (I had BLT, delicious and under $20.00), but service just a bit slow. No wonder: people were lined up outside. We waited over 40 minutes—but it was worth it.“

“Had the pistachio crusted triple tail chefs special- hands down the best fish dish I have had in this area in the 2 years we’ve been coming there. Can not wait to go back next month! The outdoor seating have us a nice view of the water and our service was phenomenal“

“We came here with our friends from Michigan who moved to Florida. The view of the water was awesome and the food was delicious. Our server was helpful in recommending items. I had the French dip which was excellent. Our friends had pulled pork nachos, that were interestingly on home-made potato chips, and fish. All in all a wonderful experience. The restaurant is located at the end of a street that has no sign so make sure to Google it.“
