50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saint James City

“We will absolutely be back! Our ride was perfect, & cool in the shade of the Tiki Bar with a great breeze. Nick played great music & made sure we paused to see some dolphins. He took us to a great restaurant along the water & made sure we had everything for our ride. You should absolutely experience this if you’re in the area!“

“If you haven’t tried this gem you’re missing out! From the moment we walked in to when we left, we felt like family. Staff was attentive and friendly, the food was outstanding but the bloody Mary’s my group got were a meal in themselves! A must see spot if you’re in the Cape!!“

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

“Has the most amazing light fluffy biscuits and cinnamon rolls. The breakfast sandwich on a biscuit is to die for. Come check it out.“

“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!“

“Panko fried shrimp Very good! Cooked to perfection. Coleslaw flavorful! Margarita flat bread *amazing. For an appetizer, it was flavorful, colorful, and filling. Chicken tenders *crunchy, juicy, filling. For an appetizer it was enough to fill me for lunch. Mary was our server and she did a fantastic job. Mom and I had Doc's for lunch and have leftovers to enjoy for later and will be back again!“

“We came twice in one week it was so good. They are fast paced with service and the seafood is absolutely impeccable. I will be returning every time we are in Cape Coral. The owners, two brothers, stopped at every table to ensure things were to each customers liking, even though the place was crazy busy. I will be dreaming of a he lobster and scallops for New York.“

“I know I left a review a couple of weeks ago about the store over on Park Meadows I had to come into the one over on McGregor and again the service is unbelievable you go in there kind of feeling like all right is someone going to help me and you end up leaving it feeling like you made a friend there's not too many customer service places left like that I know because I'm out all day and I visit them and Mr Todd is so awesome I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and because it got messed up he actually is going to give me one of what I ordered for nothing on the house who does that anymore if you want a place to just pick up a vape or if you want a place to feel relaxed and comfortable and playing arcade or two and have something to drink I suggest you visit either the Park Meadows or the McGregor location I promise you'll feeling that good even if you lose money lol“

“This the Classic French restaurant you’re going to share with good friends! We were a group of 10 foodies from various and distinct backgrounds. We did the prefix dinner with wine pairings. Our expectations were high based on what we read about this jem and none was disappointed. The escargot and onion soup were spot on, the trout almondine and Beef Bourguignon were exceptional, but by far the star of the meal was the steak frites. A sublime surprise accompanied by a bordelaise sauce, a side of béarnaise and a small crock of blue cheese sauce shared by the chef! The wine pairings were all from Bordeaux, decanted and beyond excellent. Do not forget to order dessert! I can’t wait for our next rendezvous“

“I have been going to Sunflower for years with my late husband and now my new. The owner, staff and food is fantastic . It is literally the family atmosphere that makes it most welcoming .“

“Perk and Brew is our go to for breakfast and coffee for our little family when we’re in Cape Coral! Amazing food and coffee, even more amazing staff!! Local or not you will feel right at home! ☕️🍳“

“Oh, I so hope the best for the owner rebuilding this perfect restaurant after vicious Ian. This place rates a 5 in all areas! I breakfast here basically every morning regardless how many weeks I stay on Sanibel. Good luck and I’ll be back as soon as possible!??“

“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.“

“We always say "We don't feel like we are in Florida , until we go to Micelli's" We went there 4/1/25. An excellent, friendly hostess greeted us. Had a wonderful seat by the water. We loved the breeze, boats going by, superb clam chowder, pizza and music. Great service by our waitress. Glad to be back on Matlache. Parking is tricky. We got there early. We love and recommend it highly. A favorite Florida experience. We will be back.😎😎“

“GREAT LOCAL CAFE here in SWFL !! MacGregor blvd. has a lot of places to stop in for desserts and coffee. However this cafe offers more. Home-made soups and sandwiches, danish's,and cookies. Atmosphere, is warm, inviting, and comfortable The home-made ice cream is absolutely amazing! "THEY ALSO CATER" highly recommended to stop in become a regular.“

“An excellent spot, full of creative and delicious treats made with love. Simply magnificent“

“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!“

“We celebrated Father's Day with dinner at Snug Harbor Restaurant last night, and couldn't have enjoyed it more. The food was delicious, the atmosphere spectacular, and our server Lola was fantastic! My dad really enjoyed his ahi tuna entree, and my brother said it may now be one of his favorite restaurants in Fort Myers. We will definitely be back, and will be bringing friends!“

“Adults and Kiddos LOVED this place! Bring your appetite! They have great big portions! We will definitely be back if we visit the area again!“

“Awesome selection! Highly recommend, we visited from Wisconsin and we were not disappointed. 🍦“

“Can't beat this place. Pine Island folks doing what they do best. We do miss their Pi eland Marina location but we get it. Best Breakfast amd service on the island. Do not overlook their lunch menu as well. Can't go wrong!“

“Always good food good service and brownie dessert rocks“

“One of our absolute favorite places to eat and drink!“

“Things are getting worse in almost all Cape restaurants & bars. But the Dive is doing exactly that - taking "The Dive". Bartender was so bad that we had a beer apiece after he noticed us sitting at the small outside bar. We were so unhappy that we decided to cash out and leave (mind you, the one beer that we ordered from him) and he asked if we had a tab. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 what are you on? Tolerance can only be applied for a certain amount of time and then it runs out; oh, and then people go to other places. That would be us.“

“I can't say enough about Metro Dinner. Everything we've tried in the last week has been amazing. Food is delicious, food comes out hot, and service with a smile every time we've been there. Thanks to all off you for all you do. Great place.“
