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.

Sasse IL Pizzaiuolo Fort Myers FL

Sasse IL Pizzaiuolo: "A hidden gem!" Fort Myers, Florida Jun 2006

When you are exploring Naples,Fort Myers,Bonita Springs,Estero,Marco Island,FortMyers Beach,cape coral,Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda,Venice,North port. If you are ready to go beyond the tikki bar/grouper sandwich/al fresco dining experience that is so common down here AND you want some amazing Italian food we found this gem on bestswfloridadining.com Sasse's is the place to check out in Fort Myers. Tucked in an old strip plaza near the WIC center and one block off of busy Fowler street it truly is a gem to be discovered. Actually, the night my husband and I went there, it was evident that it has been discovered because we had to wait for 10 minutes for a table. We checked to see if they had a coupon but where not able to find on on the swfloridarewards.com. The caesar salad with riccotta poppers was delicious and enough for 4 people. Actually, we brought home dinner for another night with our leftovers and we are hearty eaters. My husband had a lamb shank over polenta that was AMAZING! I had a chicken dish with tomatoes and mozzerella that was flavorful and delicious. They have an extensive wine list and the atmosphere is upscale with original artwork on the walls but you can wear shorts and feel comfortable. I would NOT reccomend this place for families with children because the meal unfolds slowly before you and children can be impatient when hungry and then annoying to us childless diners. Go off the beaten track and try Sasse's...you won't regret it!

The Fish House Fort Myers Beach, FL

The Fish House: "Best Seafood Meal in Ft Myers!" Albany NY Apr 2007

The Fish House served our family the best quality seafood meal during our week long stay in Ft Myers we found them on bestfortmyersdining.com the week after Easter. We ate at fancier restaurants in Ft Myers and Naples, but none nearly as good. The restaurant is not fancy...very laid back and you can eat inside or on one of the large covered screended porches. Great for kids...and they give them a frisbee as a souvenier. We went there so much I wish I would have had a coupon on that site swfloridarewards but they are so good I guess they do not have to give restaurant coupons i guess. Selection was huge, food was hot and delicious. It is also very hard to find (so many locals know about it, but so many tourists). Fish House is buried behind the back of plaza on the right on bonita beach Rd. But well worth finding!

Watermark Grille Naples FL

Watermark Grille: "Terrific Restaurant", Naples, FL Feb 2006

Thank God For bestswfloridadining.com we have used best city dining before. we found the Watermark Grille and 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 found them on the bestnaplesdining.com 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. I only hoped they had a coupon in the swfloridarewards.
