For supper, they offer an array of shrimp, crab, oysters, and mussels. With all the standards. The mushrooms always get my attention, and the fried rice is a winner. Our server came by our table and told us she couldn't remember which one was a Diet Coke and a regular. That was a first for me. This place has so many serving areas that it would be impossible to taste everything offered. An interesting challenge for someone is to come over multiple times to sample all their dishes.

I've been to several hot pot & bbq spots and I must say this one in Fort Myers is a 10/10. I highly…read morerecommend it to anyone and everyone! First off, they are flexible in terms of not everyone at the table has to get the same choice. If one person only wants hot pot, while everyone else wants both, that's fine. Pricing is decent and competitive. Worth the price tag. We are typically hot pot people but I must say with this restaurant, I think I favored the KBBQ more. There were plenty of bbq options including butter shrimp, bulgogi, pork belly and short ribs. I loved it all! You can also ask the server for white rice and they will bring it to your table. The hot pot options were great as well. I enjoyed the rolled fatty beef, the crabs, and the many options that were going around on the conveyer belt. They had a variety of broth options. My partner loved the spicy option. We will definitely be back!

S.O.B. delivered on every one of them! We sampled several items from the menu, but the bucket of crab legs and the Low Country Boil absolutely stole the show. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for. The service was outstanding from start to finish. One thing that always stands out to me is when the management team is actively working the dining room. It shows they care about the guest experience, attention to detail, and the quality of what they're serving. And don't leave without trying the Key Lime Pie--it was the perfect finish to an excellent meal. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

We ordered the Oyster Rock-a-fella, Uncle Vinny's oysters, and the key lime pie…read more The Oyster Rock-a-fella were excellent -- well prepared, flavorful, and exactly what you'd hope for. They were easily one of the highlights of the meal. Uncle Vinny's oysters were a bit unexpected. They carried a noticeable Italian-style flavor that wasn't obvious from the ingredient list. While it wasn't quite what I anticipated, I can see them being a great option for someone who enjoys that flavor profile. The standout for me, though, was the key lime pie. It's award-winning for a reason. No artificial colors or gimmicks -- just a well-balanced pie with a delicious nut-infused crust. It was easily the best thing we ordered. The decor is casual and laid-back, though when we visited it was fairly cold inside and there didn't seem to be much heating, which took away from the overall comfort of the experience. Overall, a solid stop with some standout dishes, especially if you're in the mood for oysters and classic Florida flavors.

A Standout Oriental Buffet We were making a shopping trip to…read moreCostco and as we were turning into the Costco lot, we saw a sign for this restaurant across the street. We finished our shopping, got in the car, read a few reviews for Jing Du and said 'Let's give it a try.' Glad we did. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has both booths and tables. The adult Lunch Buffet is $14.99 and runs from 11:00 to 3:45. As with so many of the oriental buffets, we had to walk around and get familiar with what was offered before focusing on particulars. There is an Hibachi grill where you can assemble your ingredients and Mr. Hibachi will cook it for you. The sushi bar is impressive. I am not a real sushi person so I'm not sure if it's all legit, but the few pieces I took tasted very good. I found it helpful to have signs above the offerings to get an idea of what was there. All of the stations are just loaded with foods. I happen to be a Hot and Sour Soup fan and I found their soup to be one of the best I have ever had. Really good. I also found the fish to be quite tasty. A mild, flaky whitefish, maybe tilapia or basa, in a broth with light soy sauce and something else. I enjoyed this fish very much. The peel and eat cold shrimp were good, but the cocktail sauce was the best. Nice strong horseradish kicked up the shrimp. One notable item was the pork egg rolls. Most buffets have these small rolls with a few shreds of veggies and not much flavor. These gems actually had pork and veggies in them and were delicious. We tried many items and most everything was good. They have a few dessert items and there is a freezer case with a variety of ice cream. We will definitely go back and bring our daughter who is sushi person so she can evaluate it. The Dinner Buffet is $18.99 and includes snow crab legs. This restaurant is all you can eat, but please eat all you take and not waste food.

Eww - gross! Walked in, intended on eating there (I was actually starving from a long day of…read moretraveling) and I just couldn't stomach the idea of ingesting any of what I saw. The sushi looked room-temperature and dried out. The hot bar was steamy and weird. The hostess had a real owner vibe and was all business - not friendly whatsoever. After walking all the way through the restaurant and back to the hostess station, I decided to protect my future stomach and refrain from eating here. I was surprised at the discrepancy between the overall star rating and what I experienced with my own eyes, nose, vibe. Easy pass!

MELISSA AND SCOTT (both at the pool) and MIKE (a porter) were the absolute BEST wait staff. Mike…read moretook all of our bags and showed us up to a smooth check-in process that included complimentary drinks. He got us and our friends off to our rooms quickly and as we saw him around the grounds the rest of the week was always cheerful and a joy to chat with. We got a Cabana for two days, and Melissa was our assigned waitress on day one. Simply stellar. She kept checking up on us, provided great advice on what to do, and our group of 14 couldn't have had a better time. Scott helped us out on day two when our assigned waiter for the cabana (who I won't name) was a little too much on the younger side to be able to be as attentive and simply had a hard time making the connection that Melissa and Scott did. Melissa and Scott had water shoes, and were not afraid of coming right up to us when we were on the edge of the pool, as it was no deal to get their shoes wet. We WILL be back; we WILL ask for Melissa and Scott. Otherwise, in the resort, it was extremely clean and the atmosphere was spot-on. The coffee shop next to the pedestrian bridge to the pool from the main hotel helped with the bender hangovers, and the staff there were very nice. The lobby on the second floor was nice, as the parking and utilities for the hotel are on the hurricane-flood-prone ground floor. There was night entertainment out on the promenade, and I was grateful that we had a room on the outside of the hotel not overlooking the promenade, but I noticed by 1030pm, the loud music was gone. Good balance between partying and letting us drunks sleep. Great party hotel. Great DJ earlier in the day. The couple who sang and played music in the DJ Cabana also were great. The later-in-the-day DJ was less impressive; he hesitated to play some of the songs we requested. The location was central to many dining and entertainment options. The shop in the lobby had some essentials we forgot as well. If there is any critique; continue to focus on making sure the younger wait staff have no problems with old-fashioned effective communication and making time to check back in plenty of times throughout the day, especially if the cost of the drinks is as high as it is. I have no problem paying for it if the wait staff are as attentive as Melissa and Scott.

Our family was excited to experience the new Margaritaville in Fort Myers Beach. We are Floridians,…read morefrom the other coast, and we have always enjoyed FMB, which is only a few hours away. Upon arriving, we were told that a luggage cart was only available through a bellhop service. They only offer valet, as a side note. When we checked in, we did receive a complimentary margarita, but no smiles or warmth. This carried on throughout the weekend; none of the staff seemed pleased to be there, and only one of them even smiled back or said hello. The room was clean and new, and the theming is on point. It is a beautiful place and as a PH, I truly enjoyed the music and the decor. Everything is so Margaritaville -- colors, music, theme. All 10/10. When it came to restaurant staff, we had the opposite experience and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time at the downstairs bar and at the JWB, which is more of an upscale dining experience with a beautiful view of the beach. The pool does not open until 9am, but we brought our own tent and chairs because we were researched and knew that the public beach is right next to the resort. This was the best move we could have made! Highly recommend if you're driving and can bring your own beach supplies. I do believe that you can have a complimentary umbrella and 2 chairs as an overnight guest, but we were pleased to be able to have our own space. The other thing worth mentioning is that you cannot bring food or drink into the pool area -- not even from their own restaurant/bar. I purchased lunch from the downstairs restaurant and as I was waiting to bring it to the beach, I was told that I could not bring my drink into the pool area right next door. It's all one resort, and organization, but I assume they are worried about people bringing their own cocktails in the cups they provide. There should be an option to show your receipt or at least people should be aware of that before they spend $15 plus on a drink at a POOL/ BEACH BAR. I would say that we had a great experience because we were with family and the beach is stunning regardless of where you stay. The weather in July is touch and go, so we were blessed with mostly clear days. Would I recommend a stay here? No. I think that there are many other places with the same view and a similar experience, and we felt like we were charged for every little thing, plus the unfriendly staff. Even as we were checking out and making several trips to our vehicle, housekeeping kept trying to enter our room (before check out) no matter how many times I explained we were still working on moving out.
