Molino's Bonita Springs FL

Molino's "Fine Italian Dining"
Dec 2007

The hostess was polite and cheerful when we had mentioned that we discovered them on bestnaplesdining.com. We received menus right away from the owner Kenny, who waited on us. He was lovely, a friendly, cheerful man who obviously cares about his patrons and makes them feel special. My husband chose the salad with goat cheese and the fettuccine alla contadina; I had the caprese and the risotto con polo.

Everything arrived in a timely fashion, and the owner checked on us often, but was never intrusive. The caprese had thick slices of a firm and tasty mozzarella interspersed with meaty, flavorful tomatoes. The salad was done with varied greens, fresh and crispy, wedges of the same beautiful tomatoes, and plentiful, piquant goat cheese.

My husband wouldn't let me near his fettuccine contadina (he's selfish that way), but he said the pasta was home-made and the mellow sausage was wonderfully blended with the smooth tomato sauce. My risotto was perfectly prepared, with generous chunks of tender chicken, snappy asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in a mushroom sauce. We could hardly put our forks down.

Our desserts were a perfect end to a perfect meal. I chose a creamy cheesecake in chocolate sauce, with a cream and raspberry sauce on the side. My husband had a lovely pear poached in red wine and dipped in chocolate sauce.

Throughout the meal our water, iced tea and wine were constantly monitored and replenished quickly. The wait staff was quick, polite and efficient. By that time both my husband and I were thrilled to know we'll have a new favorite place for dinner, and a great place to treat my husband's clients to.We will check swfloridarewards.com to see if they have any special coupons running.

There is no question that we will return to Molino's whenever we are in Bonita Springs.

Tropical Reef Naples FL

Tropical Reef "best fish in Naples!"
Apr 2007

I tell everyone about this place after I found it on bestnaplesdining.com! It is very small but ALWAYS busy. You'll want to make a reservation. Every time we have friends or family in town we always take them here, because it is truly the best food/seafood you'll ever have. The specialty, grouper, is insanely delicious. In the evening, they actually set up seating in the cheesecake store next-door to accomodate more guests. It felt a bit strange eating next to a cheesecake cooler, but it was worth it! The restaurant owner, who is the main chef, caters as well. It has taken the owner a few years to get this place off the ground, and it's finally gaining the popularity it deserves! A+

I go to the crazy flamingo all the time w/ my grandma who lives in Marco Island.

If you want to know more check out bestnaplesdining.com. There is history there, so what if theres no waiters? every seat is 3 steps from the bar where you pick up your food.

Charley's Boathouse Fort Myers Beach FL

Charley's Boathouse Grill: "The Experience"
Nov 2007

My husband and I ate at Charley's Boathouse Grill in early November, 2007, while vacationing in the Fort Myers, Naples area. We always use bestcitydining.com when on a vacation. We were not familiar with the restaurant but the parking lot was mobbed and we had read about it on bestfortmyersdining.com so we thought it was probably good. I was very skeptical at first because it seemed a bit pricey but by the time we left we both agreed that it had been a very nice dinner I guess we should have checked swfloridarewards.com for a coupon. We certainly got an ample amount of food and everything tasted good. I still think it's a little pricey but I would definitely consider going there again next time I'm vacationing in the area next year.

Channel Mark Restaurant Fort Myers Beach FL

Channel Mark Restaurant: "Great view with food"
Mar 2007

We found Tims Place at Channel Mark Restaurant on San Carlos Island on www.bestfortmyersdining.com. We had our little dog with us. You can walk around the restaurant and eat on the outside patio by the water. Dolphins and Great Blue Herons are right there beside you. Great Pizza, Great Taco Salad, Nachos great, crispy fish fingers great. My husband said it was the best pizza he has had in a long time. Good service too.When we checked swfloridarewards.com they did not at the time have any special offer coupons to the public.

Mangrove Inn: Punta Gorda FL

Mangrove Inn: Punta Gorda "It's the place For Lunch!"
Dec 2006
This was the place we often picked for our evening meal on the weekend while living in PG. We found it on bestportcharlottedining.com. Run by a Candian and his Belizean wife it seems to be the 'gathering place' for travelers - or at least it was when we were there in 1999. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and you can sit on the patio in large, comfortable adorondack chairs and enjoy a cold Belikan beer before dinner. Good variety of foods served for both vegetarians and carnivores. Also,always check swfloridarewards.com to see if they have any coupons for both of the restaurants in Punta Gorda or Naples.

Smokey Bones BBQ Fort Myers FL

Smokey Bones BBQ & Sports Bar: "Really Great 'BBQ"
Jan 2007

Seeing this restaurant on bestswfloridadining.com and the crowded lot, we went for it and were very pleasantly surprised. GREAT smokey flavor, some of the best bar b cued beans ever, great service and good value we did not find a coupon on swfloridarewards.com though...we will go back. Lunch specials look good and the sides include black eyed peas and sweet potatos which is unusual too. Do not get detured by the lines it go's fast and we had a cold drink from the bar.

If you heard about the $100 hamburger in Boca don't go! Pay $8.00 for the best mouth watering hamburger ever!We found them on bestfortmyersdining.com

There is a little British Pub off of 41 and Pelican Landing. You wouldn't think that there would be anything so mouth watering good in there. But you are wrong. Trust me! It is just the classic hamburger. How could anyone resist this hamburger? Always check swfloridarewards.com for coupons for one of theses hamburgers.

This hamburger is cooked to perfection! Thick and Juicy! With melted mouth watering cheese on the top! And as the side item nice Big steak fries!!!! There really isn't much more to say besides Finger Licking, Mouth watering GOOD!!!!

Pewter Mug Steak House Naples FL

Pewter Mug Steak House: "An Old Favorite"
Jun 2006

We've been going to this restaurant for over 2 years after we found it on bestnaplesdining.com, from the time it was a stopover on a two lane road from Miami to Sarasota it has been here. It's location is the same but the road system has changed. It is now on a 6 lane divided arterial. Food wise it has not changed much. It features a large, diverse and always fresh salad bar and beef is it's feature dish. I must say however that the rosemary chicken is awesome and one of my favorite dishes. We're not talking ruth's chris here but we are talking a solid steakhouse with a tradition and loyal following. We're locals so we always check on swfloridarewards.com for coupons. During the season it's difficult to get a seat. But, we make up for it during the off season.

Chloe's Fort Myers Beach FL

Chloe's: "Very Elegant Restaurant"
Dec 2006
To find this restaurant look on bestfortmyersdining.com for all the info.
Chloe's is excellent for a fine dining experience. They have good vegetarian options and the staff were very accomodating to create unique vegetarian dishes for us as well. The staff were great in general, they didn't have the bottle of wine that we ordered so they gave us the more expensive one for the same price. Now that's service. The food tasted exceptional and the presentation was beautiful too. If you are looking for a fancy night out at Fort Myers Beach and are sick of all the cheap pubs, definitely give Chloe's a try. See if they have any coupons on swfloridarewards.com.

Orpheus Cafe Diner Fort Myers FL

Orpheus Cafe Diner: "Cute little place."
Feb 2007

We read some great reviews about the Orph and that any night you might go there would be live music, plays, or some other form of entertainment. So, looking for an upbeat kinda place, we set out to Fort Myers Beach on a tip from bestfortmyersdining.com. Unfortunately, the Orph was pretty dead and we were forced to entertain ourselves. The owner/server was very nice and the food was great. We had the stuffed grape leaves which tasted very authenic, and a cheese pizza which took a little getting used to, but ended up winning us over. With 2 drinks the tab was about $24...not bad at all next time we will check swfloridarewards.com for coupons.

First Watch Naples FL

First Watch Restaurant: "Mmmmmm, 'Crepeggs'"
Sept 2006

Whenever we visit Naples we check bestnaplesdining.com, we make sure that we have breakfast at First Watch at least two or three times. Their food is fantastic, the menu creative, they leave the pot of coffee at the table, thank you very much!
The wait is never terribly long, newspapers and coffee are provided for those waiting. We've never waited longer that 15 minutes, and that was a Sunday morning after church let out. Not bad.WE keep checking swfloridarewards.com for coupons and hope for a great deal to come along some day. Make sure to try the Crepeggs - the "Key West" crepe is unbelievable. It's a cross between a crepe and an omelet. Delicious!

Watermark Grille Naples FL

Watermark Grille: "Terrific Restaurant"
May 2006

What a find on bestnaplesdining.com. Watermark Grille is one of the best restaurants I have been to in Naples. It's creative atmosphere (which can, at times, be loud) is certainly an experience. I recommend the Saganaki as an appetizer, which for those that don't know: picture a dish of hot melted cheese, then picture the waiter pouring some ouzo onto it and lighting the cheese on fire. The waiter/waitress usually warns the people around your table that there will be a flame, and even if they do, some people still jump from the tall flame.

As for the main entree's, the steak is good but not a specialty, and some of the other traditional land-lover foods are acceptable. However, the specialty fish is truly incredible. The stuffed grouper is phenominal, especially with the sauce they provide. Keep checking swfloridarewards.com for coupons you never know when they are going to pop up.

The Hut Fort Myers FL

The Hut -Yes, New Owner - Very special place
Apr 2007


We are from Fort Myers and we eat here at least once a month since new owners came in.We had found them on bestswfloridadining.com Prices are reasonable; menu is very extensive - always find something for everyone. Some best bets: buffalo shrimp, calamari appetizers; homemade ginger-scallion salad dressing ,maui-maui platter (fish, scallops, shrimp in lemon butter sauce), prime rib, huge burgers. Great entertainment; good friendly service. I rate this a very solid "7-8" We had checked swfloridadining.com for coupons and found out about the 5:00 specials.What a special place...

Olde World Resaurant North Port FL

Bestswfloridadining says The Olde World Restaurant is the meeting place in North Port.We found it on bestportcharlottedining.com that covers Port Charlotte,Noth port,Venice,Engelwood,Punta Gorda. Owned by well known residents, John and Christine Zagrobelny, the Olde World offers good food with a "unique" atmosphere. Some of my menu favorites include the Belgian waffles for breakfast, broccoli and cheese quiche or the 1/2 sandwich and soup special for lunch and the Rueben sandwich or grouper for dinner.
As of now we did not find a coupon on swfloridarewards.com but we always check.
Stop in for a bite soon, but I'm sure you already have!

Plaka Restaurant Fort Myers Beach FL

Plaka Restaurant: "Lived up to the raves"
May 2007

This place definately lived up to the reviews I had read before on bestswfloridadining.com we went to FMB last week. Normally, I wouldn't be inclined to eat at a Greek restaurant at the beach. The only reason I did was because of the great reviews they got on bestfortmyersdining.com. I had gyro and my husband got the lamb. Both were very good. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants at Fort Myers Beach we checked swfloridarewards.com for coupons but we did not find any. The waiters were both very attentive and wanted to talk. They weren't too crowded because it is off season now. Their location is perfect. Right in the middle of Time Square. Nice place to people watch.
