New American Restaurants near Sanibel, FL

“Wonderful food celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday while on vacation. Everything was good, with the grilled shrimp being a favorite amongst our group of 6!“

“The food is amazing and you can tell everything is made with fresh, quality ingredients. We tried the Mermaid, Slawpy Hog, & Big Tex with the Mediterranean orzo salad and watermelon cucumber salad. Everything was delicious and the service was even better-so friendly!! I highly recommend you check them out.“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“

“Very very nice. Fine dining. Most certainly will return.“

“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.????“

“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 restaurant has a great water view. We were there for Mother’s Day and they had a buffet brunch. The food and service were both good. We’ll definitely be back for their regular dinner menu.“

“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“

“Solid bar food option. Everything we had was solid to very good. Very good and fair prices. Good quick option with lots of tvs to watch games. Needed a little more chicken in my chicken Philly to make it great. Overall a good choice. Service was attentive and friendly. Didn't have to wait long for anything perfectly timed between apps and entrees. Suggestion for owners - combo appetizer.“

“Stopped in quick with my wife just to get a drink and a few apps.
The restaurant is on the second level overlooking the water and boats.
First off, the service was phenomenal. The host was easy going, took us outside but that was a bit cold with the rain. No issue, moved us inside.
Our server was great. He was attentive but not pushy or overbearing.
We ordered the Octopus and Crab Cakes appetizers. Honestly, the octopus itself had no flavor. I've never had octopus before so not sure there, but the scampi sauce was very good.
The crab cakes were also very good and a good size too.

Overall, I would definitely go back.“

“We had a special celebration last night and the food was incredible and so beautiful in presentation. Wonderful service, elevated atmosphere. Unforgettable deserts. It's now one of my top favorite restaurants in the area. Highly recommended!“

“Thanks heaven for Nevermind . Awosome food and cocktails kudos to everyone“

“We love this place! It’s perfect when we are “adults only” but no hassle when we have our 3 little kids. We get the grouper no matter what - on a bun or on a salad, it’s AMAZING!!! We love Diamondhead Resort and the service is always above the rest.“

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

“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!“

“Great customer service!! Friendly staff, drinks are made quick...it's also a Monday evening and there aren't many people at the pool. Food was fast and delicious! The chicken nachos were great and the cheese never ran out. The fish street tacos could've used some zip and there was no additional sauce to help out. Will definitely stop back throughout the week!“

“This was a great surprise. We didn’t realize it was a senior community but open to the public. My husband wanted breakfast and I wanted a good burger. We were both pleased as our food was cooked to perfection. We were warmly greeted and the place was spotless. Everyone was so nice and friendly as it was obvious we weren’t old enough to live there. They offer a great variety of options including ice cream.“

“Waitress was friendly“

“Another one of those little Gems. Found it this week. Needed a nice place for our 4th Anniversary Dinner:
Called and made a reservation[Recommended] and we arrived at 17:30.was greeted and served Bread. The bread alone was exceptional.
I ordered the Rack of Lamb, my wife had the Pork Chop.
I must say, outside my own Kitchen, this was “The Best” Lamb I have ever had! Succulent, Tender, and cooked perfectly. The Pork Chop was also very good, probably the Tenderest I’ve ever tasted.
The servers here are what you would expect at a Four Star Restaurant.

Please give these people your business.“

“Great food there especially there is Travia game on and you can't beat that!! Right!?!“

“It was my second time at Fathom. The restaurant has expanded since I was there last. The waitress was wonderful. The food was okay, nothing memorable. I recommend staying away from the chocolate mousse, it definitely is nothing like a classic style. Instead of rich fluffy chocolate it was caramel pudding!“

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

“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!“

“Great service, good food. We decided to sit outside and watch the dolphins while dining, what a great experience! The waitress did a great job keeping the drinks coming on a hot day! The burger was juicy even when well-done! The conch soup was loaded with vegetables and well-seasoned. The Pesto chicken wrap came out hot, plated well and did not fall apart. The chocolate lava cake went well with the vanilla ice cream!“

“Another great taco just can't beat them thank you!!!“

“Great Service, Great Prices and very convenient.“
