Best fine dining restaurant on Sanibel Island, in my humble opinion. Delicious and unique cocktail offerings. Extensive wine list. They always seem to have a great special either for app, main or both. I’ve never had anything less than a fantastic meal here and elite service. Have been coming to Sanibel for 15+ years and always try to make a night available to go here. We really miss the live piano though!

Fabulous food and service.

Delicious dinner a few nights ago! We started with the wedge salad and each chose a different entree. My personal favorite was the 12oz Ribeye and the Chilean Sea Bass. The flavor of the ribeye was perfect! The buttery, flaky sea bass was close your eyes and savor good! Mmmm! Highly recommend!

The food was fantastic. I had the speacial 12oz New york strip. The texture and tatse was one of the best i have had . The waiter was very tentative. Our glasses were never empty.

All good except for young man next to us on his cell phone doing business- very annoying!!

Best restaurant on the island. Good cocktails and food. Specials change each night. Piano man has retired, not sure he is being replaced. Excellence through the menu. Wish the Veal Milanese wasn't so greasy, but many other choices available. Please bring back the rack of lamb and homemade mint sauce.

Those 5 ratings are 5 Plus!!! An exceptional dining experience. Greeted by the General Manager,Marcus Preece , and entered a fully equipped bar. Bartenders excelled in their mixology & handled our big group so well! Then came the meal .. so many choices found crafted carefully & plated expertly! Our waiter, Matthew, added to this fine dining experience with his person interactive service! All servers were amazing! This is a must visit just over the Sanibel causeway for a truly fabulous dining experience!!!!
We came here for our 10th anniversary. Kristin was absolutely wonderful, and really made our dinner and time at Cielo so special. I cannot recommend her or this restaurant enough! The food is delicious, and the people so are so friendly and genuinely caring.
Excellent dinner at Cielo! Food and service wonderful. Very happy Walter guided our experience.

I would like to begin by saying that the food was very good. Unfortunately , the service was not great. We felt rushed, plates where being removed without asking if we were finished. My son in law’s dessert was removed when he put his fork down for a minute. The waitress grabbed the plate so fast that we didnt have time to let her know that he was still working on it. I asked for a steak well done and the waitress insisted that I order it medium well. I had looked forward to eating here and my experience was ruined by poor customer service. We have been to Cielo numerous times before and after the hurricane and never had this negative experience. We were a party of 6 on a Saturday at 5 45 pm. We ordered appetizers, drinks, wine, bottled water our entrees and dessert. We were great customers and should have had better service.

Walked in here as a person with celiac disease - they were only serving dessert but had a really nice gluten free option. Was terrified of cross contamination but I was assured that all ingredients were gluten free- it was delicious and I didn’t get sick. I hope this establishment continues to support people with autoimmune diseases and food intolerances- it’s so nice to have delicious and decadent options such as this

This is a culinary experience in Sanibel not to be missed. The menu, food and cocktails are second to none- giving vibes of fine dining in big cities like New York and Miami.
The ambience is wonderful! Beautiful live piano, clean, great bar, and lovely decor.
If you’re in Sanibel, you MUST go to Cielo for dinner or to the bar (it’s also a good chance to get dressed up!)
(Check their openings hours as they’re not always open)
