Big Hickory Fishing Nook Bonita Springs FL

Big Hickory Fishing Nook Marina: "wonderful Time"
Sept 2006

We were referred to this restaurant by the people over at the Hyatt coconut plantation They said it was recommended by bestnaplesdining.com. What a find! Truly Old Florida ambience and excellent food. The cubana grouper is to die for. We recommended it to the couple sitting next to us and they felt the same way they looked for the coupons on swfloridarewards.com. A little hard to find but worth it.

Old Captiva House Captiva FL

Old Captiva House "Great food and atmosphere"
May 2007
My husband and I just returned from a 5 day trip to Sanibel May. Our first night there we chose to ride up to Captiva and dine at the 'Tween Waters Inn. bestfortmyersdining.com was right where they said on the map. Originally we were going to eat at the Crows Nest but the menu seemed a little limited. We decided instead to go to Old Captiva House next door (both share the same kitchen and bar). The 'Tween Waters Inn is very historic and the restaurant had a lot of neat pictures regarding their history including one of a Teddy Roosevelt's visit.

My husband had a crab cake appetizer that was a very generous portion. He said it was fantastic. I had a cesar salad with homemade cesar dressing that was great. We both then had the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. As we dined there was a gentleman playing music on the grand piano just as you came in the door. Our dinner with drinks, appetizers, main entrees and tip all came to $140 but the food was prepared and presented as you would expect for that price. We did not find a coupon on swfloridarewards.com and I did hear they had a children's menu but use your own judgement. While the attire was casual, it was still an upscale restaurant with a sophisicated menu that we enjoyed but that I wouldn't bring my two kids (3 1/2 and 7) to. The meal is served in courses and allows time for relaxation and conversation between which is not always good with kids. The Crows Nest next door had an event called NASCRAB where they race hermit crabs for money part of which does go to the United Way. The family show is around 6:00PM I think. If you bring the kids, eat there instead. We went to the adult show (more risque humor) at 9:00. It is light season so there were only about 15 or 20 of us but we still enjoyed the night. If you happen to be there and its time, then go. If you don't have kids, dine at Old Captiva House and then join the fun afterwards. This is a pricey outing but the food is done and presented well and the service was nice too. Made for a great romantic evening for my husband and I.

Sunset Grill Sanibel FL

Sunset Grill "What a find!"
Jun 2007


We happened upon this quaint little restaurant out driving. It was a holiday weekend and still managed to get in without a reservation. We had researched it on bestswfloridadining.com and we had a very wonderful dinner. It wasn't cheap and we had checked swfloridarewards.com for coupons we did not find one, but it was mid-priced and delicious! I'd go back in a minute. The location gives a wonderful view of the beach during sunset, hence the name. The location is on Santiva, which is the connecting area between Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Don't drive by and miss it. It's right next to the second Lazy Flamingo restaurant. You can easily spot the Flamingo's bright pink sign. We will be sure to check bestfortmyersdining.com to see if the menu has changed.

We'll be returning again next time we come down.
