A hidden gem in Fort Myers. When I've been away for a while and come back, this is ALWAYS the first place I want come eat. A word of advice, even if you think you won't like it, try it. This chef knows what they're doing! Things I would never put together and I've never never had a bad meal here.

Went on a recommendation from a co-worker. This place is tucked away that you would never see it on normal travel. What a find! We had lunch sandwiches that were prepared exquisitely. Service was great. Can’t wait to try dinner! Reservations are accepted.

Very high quality ingredients, best club sandwich I ever had! Great meat, bread and presentation. Friendly staff, attentive but not to much. My husband had the homemade pea soup which I tried, delicious. Even the potato chips were first rate. We will be back to try their traditional dinners like Steak Diane. Off the beaten path but to hard to get to. Very close to Route 41/Tamimiami. Clean but the interior is a little to busy with artificial flowers is my only negative.

After reading the reviews, we decided to try. It's tucked away and we were literally the only ones there. I had the risotto and it was good. The salad dressing was the best part. Has a very rustic feel inside.

Just kind of stumbled on this place. Went for lunch so limited menu but it's cozy with great artwork on the walls. The food 2 sandwiches were good. The onion soup especially good. Hoping to go back soon for the dinner menu.

Server was accommodating, kind and willing to help - as was the chef. Liked my vegetables. The meat was okay. Maybe just reaches a 4 but the ambiance is, well, sub-par. A solid 3.5.

Had an anniversary dinner with the whole family. Small place but the staff and chef did a fantastic job. Tonight was the busiest I’ve ever seen this place but they made it happen! Great dinner, great service and a great time with the family. Thank you Kenwood Team for keeping us drunk and well fed!

Hidden Gem! Small, cute, cozy restaurant with delicious, fresh food and great service. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for and this is a good quality place. I recently discovered them and will continue to come by and bring friends!

The ladies here tonight were amazing. It was my sister's and grandma's pre birthday dinner. While having dinner I received devastated news and Jenna saw I was upset and brought me napkins. Dinner, wine and dessert was amazing. Service was superb.

This is a very friendly and cozy restaurant tucked away behind Olive Garden in Fort Myers. There is no better food or service than this. If you want great food and service, this is a place to go.
We were seated and completely ignored for 30 minutes. When we asked for service our waitress was annoyed, commented on how I drank a cup of water so fast as if one glass of water in 30 minutes was fast. We explained we needed to make a show and asked to place our order. They said there was no way they could serve us in time and we should have allowed 2.5 hours for them to serve us. Seriously, they told us this was their normal service time. We had allowed 1.5 hours for dinner. They were extremely rude, like we were crazy to expect faster service. We left and we will never go back.

We had dinner at Kenwood Lakes Grille last night before going to Barbara B. Mann for a show. The restaurant is small and cozy. The wait staff was super attentive and very friendly. The food was amazing! Hats off to the chef!!! Dinner came with soup or salad, I opted for the cream of mushroom soup and it did not disappoint. I had one of the daily specials... beef tips with mushrooms, I'm on a mushroom kick. It was flavorful and satisfying. My husband had another one of the specials, veal Milanese and that too was delicious. Others in our group had fish. Everything was wonderful and we're looking forward to going back there again.

Out of the way intimate atmosphere. Great food and great servers. No liquor, only beer and wine but you don't miss it. Excellent entrées. Highly recommend

Just enjoyed my first meal at Kenwood Grill- I hope it’s not the last. My husband and I both had the chicken Dijonnaise that came with mashed potatoes and a assortment of vegetables! Delicious! You can tell everything was homemade and made to order. Another member of our party had the salmon and loved it. Service was friendly and informative with details on the various options on the menu. Small restaurant atmosphere which was such a nice change from the big noisy restaurants throughout the area.

Best restaurant in Fort Myers! The Filet was perfectly prepared and melts in your mouth. I was stuffed from the meal, but after hearing the waitress describe the desserts, I was suddenly hungry again! The Italian zuccotto cake was AMAZING! Best dessert I have ever had.
