“We arrived at 4:20 to avoid long waiting which happens here; no reservations accepted. Drinks came fast as did our appetizers of blackened grouper bites which were delicious. I tried Triple tail for the first time and I am hooked and can't wait to order again. Other dinners ordered were the mahi tacos and grouper tacos as well as the shrimp burger. Everyone was super satisfied with their meals. The music which started at 5:30 was also outstanding. We usually eat here one a season and it's always one of our top places to go.“
“I overheard Noah describe the origins of the kava plant and what it meant to the indigenous people, and I was thoroughly impressed. I've heard it before, but he showed the value and the reason we continue the bula tradition. Well done??“
“The Beach Bar down Fort Myers Beach is our absolute FAVORITE place to go and catch a circuit of incredible Blues music (everyday), and kick back with an ice cold drink in our hand, and our toes in sand..great vibe, incredibly good people..Attitude Adjustment=5 STARS !! Oh and be sure to check out the Pitbull of Blues Tropical cocktail..it'll set you free!!“
“Have you ever seen an unhappy whale? No. Ya know why? They eat deliciously, bask in the sun and are surrounded by their fun little pod. What's not to be happy about!The Whale is the place to come if you're looking to be surrounded by happy, carefree people who are just out here loving life. Both customers and staff...these people are living their best lives.It's the place to come if you're hungry, and even if you didn't know you were...once you get a whiff of the deliciousness wafting through the air, your belly will instantly put you on blast. And you'll be hooked, EVERYTHING is sooooo good. And it's even better with an iced-cold bevvie. Or two. Or seven.The Whale is always my first stop when in Fort Myers. Good thing I don't live there...I might turn into one!“
“So glad Ugly's is open again after the storm, always enjoy this place and things are looking up with 1 more opening! Food is always good, drinks are great and service is good! Outside is wonderful on the upper deck! Everything looks great! Always a fun time there!“
“Pizza is the best on the island Dave's docksider is my favorite. They have fish sandwiches, crab cakes , burgers and full meals. Live music too. It's upstairs, and there is no elevator.Parking: They have a small lot that is free and across the street under the bridge is metered parking pay by the hour.“
“A nice, small place with intentionally no signage. It was a discreet speakeasy during COVID I've been told. We went there after playing bingo at Valerie's. It was very low key. Just having enjoyable conversations at the bar with strangers. We had few beers and moved on.Parking: Ample parking.“
“Our group of 6 arrived at 6:30 on a Friday night. We got drinks from the bar as they told us of an hour wait; beautiful night so no problem. The crown royal on the rocks was a super generous pour- I'm from the Chicago area and usually get half the alcohol and charged a lot more so this was a welcome change. The server was top notch and somehow memorized all 6 orders and no mistakes when the food came. Orders included fried shrimp. white fish and shrimp tacos. Side dishes: steak fries, sweet potato fries, french fries and clam chowder. Everything was great. I was especially happy with the home made steak fries. I guess the cole slaw left a little to be desired. It was a great night with views of the marina as the day turned to evening. Glad that the Junkanoo is up and running even though I miss the one on the beach.“
“Food was good but pretty ordinary and pricey for what it was. Didn't have pizza but someone else did and it looked a bit light on cheese. Great spot to hang out and listen to music in the square although the rowdy crowd at the bar were a little loud and made it a challenge to hear the live music.“
“We came here because we needed somewhere for breakfast with our kids and a gluten-free adult, and there aren't many options for that on the island. Bottom line: This place would be 3 stars at home, but gets 4 stars here. They have a kids lunch menu and several kid-friendly breakfast items, but no high chairs and they won't give you crayons or anything like that. We got French toast sticks and sausage for the kids. The omelet normally comes with toasted cibatta, but I skipped it so the meal would be GF. Husband's lobster roll was full, but no sides. All in all portions were not huge, but since no one wants to carry leftovers on the beach, maybe that's best.“
“If we could give this place 10 stars just for the customer service, we would! The food and drinks were good, but Dianne really made the whole experience! She was especially great with all the kids at our table, brought us water bottles for the beach as we were leaving, and was all around incredibly attentive and had a wonderful attitude and was so sweet! Excellent service! We will be back just because of this!“
“On our trip to Fort Myers with Family my husband and I ate here twice, once just the two of us and then with our entire family group. Both were great stops with outside seating, great views of the bay to watch the pelicans, boats and wildlife. If you like coconut shrimp they have the best coconut shrimp I’ve ever had (I had them twice). Service was good on both occasions. If you want tap beer you’ll need to sit on the upper bar section.“
“What a great little place to come to rub elbows with the locals! Tina the owner dedicated her time and efforts to everyone right after the hurricane and continues to provide a great place to go with sports, local music, karaoke on Friday, and sometimes has food for free! Otherwise no food at this establishment just free popcorn!! Friendly service with a smile with games to play and even win some money, shots, or a task to do!! You need to check it out, beer, wine and seltzers plus wine based liquor.“
“Fantastic meal! Our server Shane said he was in training, but he made great suggestions and we would've thought he'd worked their forever. Their Swordfish special was our favorite- and the meatball was really Really Good. You do need reservations. Best Italian food on the Beach!“
“Mahi sandwich was awesome. We were there for happy hour. 2 for 1 Margaritas on the rocks, wine was 2 for $8. Wife got crab cakes. She said they were so so. My friends got the happy hour special wings and clams. His wife got the Grouper dinner and loved it. They were really busy but we got a table right away and our server Wendy was spectacular!!“
“Really cute restaurant and bar. Food is pretty good. Service is decent. Our waitress was ok while serving us. After lunch, the girls went shopping and the boys went to the bar. The waitress came running into the bar right up to my husband, asking where the check was? She was pissed and frantic according to my husband. They told her they left it in cash at the table. She said she didn't see it and was very snappy with him. She immediately ran back outside and must of found the check cause she never came back.You think she would of come and let the guys know and thank them or apologize. The guys were a little upset about basically being accused of stealing.“
“Superb menu of very creative menu items that include fresh fish, shrimp, steak, or chicken. The setting is absolutely beautiful, next to the ocean and the resort pool. Service was friendly and attentive and prompt. Prices are reasonable. This was a very enjoyable sunset dinner. Excellent choice for a great dining experience.“
“The food was pretty good, the ribs have a good smoky flavor, the fries are fire, as is the Mac and cheese. The host is also the waiter, server, and part time in the bar. The biggest complaint is the extremely loud live music, I’m pretty sure anywhere you go in Fort Myers area for food is going to have very loud either live or from playlist music, which is pretty annoying if you don’t listen to music.“
“Kudos to the staff and owners for taking a stand on smoking!! Thank you so much. Visited today and was beyond relieved to see the signs. Always a great place for us to bring family and friends. Food is awesome and the environment and ambiance is so fun. So happy about the recent changes and hoping that you consider not allowing dogs in your establishment. Today there was an actual dog sitting in a chair. Just there for 1.5 hours witnessed 5 dogs.“
“I had my reception for my wedding here, and it was fabulous. Making a reservation was easy, we were seated at a reservation time, the food was absolutely delicious, they even kept my wedding cake in the back for us until the end of dinner and brought it out.“
