    It was very hot inside but maybe because it's June and small but it was incredibly fresh and delicious Pasta and potato were amazing and finishing with the medium rare cookies was perfection

    Carrot  cake  to go... !!! Added the ice cream to a share plate of raw cookies

    Highly encouraged from Chef John at Next door/Gather, we ventured off to liberty to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. It was a long week, but we celebrated with amazing food. Cheered to another year and celebrated at Liberty. The menu is in a traditional tapas shareable for two stretchable for four. The flavors are intense and overwhelming good. There is plenty to order and enjoy so get it. Enjoy a nice wine. Never lacked anything down to a full glass of water at all times. Staff was amazing!

    This place is unreal. It's small, I'm not sure how many seats, but it couldn't be more than 20 or so. In other words, it's a pretty exclusive spot and from my understanding fills up quickly. Be sure to get a reservation. As for the menu, you're given what looks like a bingo card with different selections. They course your meal out for you depending on what you they tell you that between two people, you might share 4 to 6 items. We got the layered French onion potato, the gnocchi, each of us got one order of the two bite tacos. We did the cod and then we did the medium rare cookies. Let me tell you, not. One thing I tasted was bad. Everything was absolutely delicious and you could tell the secret ingredient was love, intentionality, and fresh ingredients. It was also fun because we sat at the bar and were able to watch the chef Cook he talked to us quite a bit and his hospitality made the experience that much more delightful. I'm already counting down the days until we can go back again. The crazy thing is liberty is all but unmarked from the outside I would have never known it was a restaurant, let alone a must try Restaurant and Fort Myers based on its exterior appearance alone, but trust. It is worth a visit... Like yesterday.

    Our first time at liberty with our son who is a foodie at heart. Previous reviews cover all the essentials and I will just add my own personal thoughts. This is a niche tapas restaurant catering to those individuals that enjoy expertly prepared food without any pretense. The restaurant itself is very unassuming with seats for 10 at the bar overlooking the kitchen and booths as well as some awkward seating as you first enter the restaurant that can accommodate up to 20 more people. What impressed me as much as the quality of the food was the quality of our server, RAIZA, who on a scale of one to 10 was a 15. She not only knew the food but her expertise with the wine pairings was superb and I think my son really appreciated her input and selections after he had laid out some of his criteria. We ordered eight items for the three of us and they were all unique, wonderfully tasteful and beautifully presented. Each selection is paired with a different wine and you have ample time between selections to chat and talk about how good the next selection will be. Hopefully my pictures will present an accurate account of how wonderful everything was. This is not the kind of restaurant that I would personally return to on a regular basis but I would welcome the opportunity to come here once a year just to be reminded of how food/dining can be a joyous occasion. It was clear from our visit that liberty has a devout following. It was interesting that there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table and this was for the obvious reason that the food came to the table properly seasoned with no extras required. I would have to say our eight selections were ample but on the light side. We arrived at our reservation time at 5:45 and departed at 7:45, a very leisure dining experience. To summarize, liberty will continue to thrive as long as they are able to maintain their high standards of food and service, kudos to ownership and staff for providing such a unique experience in Fort Myers. The medium rare chocolate chip cookies were good but the cinnamon toast crunch ice cream was beyond compare and I certainly could've used a man's size portion of that as it was so delicious.

    Five stars in every way from start to finish. Super friendly, attentive, helpful staff. Love the open kitchen and interacting with the chefs. Everything is so fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Fun menu combinations and great (slower) pace better plates allowing you to savor what you just had and build excitement for the next. Fine cruise without the fine dining pretentiousness. We made our next reservation before we left.

    I loved, loved, loved this place. This place is assuming and tucked away and I had no idea what to think but I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. The space is small and reservations is highly recommended. The menu changes monthly but I heard they keep some staples. The food was delicious, complex, fun, and the presentation was top notch. We talked to the chef during our meal and you can tell that there was a lot of thought put into the menu and thought into the execution of the food. Plates are small but full of flavor and have enough food. I recommend this place over and over to all food lovers. It was priced reasonable for me but it is on the higher end.

    Wonderful experience. We sat at the chef's table. The chefs were friendly and engaging and the servers were attentive. Food was delicious; we ordered too much, but that's a good problem to have here. Casual vibe but upscale quality food. We will be back!

    Oooooook! This cute, tiny den of deliciousness isn't one to miss. Reservations are a must. And be prepared for excellent service, a delightful greeting from the servers and chefs and an experience that I would expect of a restaurant in Fort Myers. We ordered 5 dishes to share between three people and that was more than enough but 2-3 per person is recommended. The gnocchi and lamb ragu are a must and did not disappoint! I will be trying my hand at a lamb ragu in the near future. The medium rare chocolate chip Cookie was just ok but the Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream was to die for! Like serious! But hurry in soon the menu changes often!

    We ate at Liberty for our anniversary dinner this week -- it was our first time at the restaurant & we were so impressed! All of the food was incredible and the staff was amazing, so energetic, upbeat, and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. It was so cool to sit in front of the chefs & engage with them, watch them cook, and chat about the food. You could tell that everyone at the restaurant enjoyed their experience as well. For 2 people we ordered 6 menu items & 1 dessert and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Everything we saw the chefs make looked phenomenal & smelled amazing! Each dish we ate was delicious but our favorites were the brussel sprouts, goat cheese lamb ragu pasta and the black garlic tacos. All of the flavors, sauces, and "toppings" were spot on and went so perfectly together. The cookies were incredible as well - so soft, gooey, and melty! The restaurant is a small place & tucked away but makes for such an intimate experience. We had the best night with the best food and will definitely be back!

    Shrimp toast

    it was a joyous reunion to dine at @eat_liberty for the first time in almost a YEAR last week. Given pregnancy diet restrictions aka no raw meat, runny eggs, etc. I wanted to wait until after Parker arrived so I could fully eat my heart out at Liberty although time has passed, the exceptional quality and flavors stayed true throughout each course...I was most excited to reunite with the Beef Tartare with fancy mustard and warm pita points but the other selections...Shrimp Toast, Parisian Gnochhi, and Honey Roasted Duck were all fantastic. ‍Each plate is great to share with a pal (that way you can taste MORE of the offerings) but one or two could be a meal for a solo diner. go check out this place if you haven't! Small eatery with BIG personality.

    Service is top tier. Everyone works as a a team and make sure guests have everything they need. The space is very intimate , like European boutique style . Very cool note, you order and the staff creates an experience with the food and it comes out in a specific order. I enjoy small details like that. The food needs its own paragraph. We had the gnocchi with mushrooms and pistachios parsnip cream sauce . The gnocchi was a crisp heavenly pillow with the creamiest inside, mushrooms were perfectly sautéed and I didn't leave a drop of the parsnip cream sauce with pesto . The 50 layer potato was crispy and you had the choice to drag it through a delicate cream sauce and cold sweet tomato leek salad. Next dish was the black garlic beef gouchujang tacos , the beef was crispy, yet so juicy and flavorful and the homemade tortilla and pickled veggies were a perfect touch. The last dish we ate was the honey age duck . The duck was perfectly seasoned, crispy and juicy! The little mushroom potato hash on the side was a perfect pairing! Make reservations way in advance and don't miss out. Some of the best food and service I've had in southwest florida.

    If you are lucky enough to find yourself in Fort Myers and enjoy a true dining "experience" do yourself a favor and book kitchen seats @Liberty! The menu is creative and unique and the service we received from the chef and especially Katie and Raiza was second to none! Looking forward to our next visit next time we are in town!

    I found a hidden gem in a place you would not expect. I never knew this was here in this old outdated strip mall. No real sign except a logo on the door. When you come in you find one of the smallest restaurants I have been in. Basically an open kitchen with a few tables and bar seating. All items are small plates meant to share. We got five between me and my wife and they were all great and unique. My favorites were the gnocchi and shrimp curry. They weren't both so rich and full of flavor. Give this a try but make reservations. People showed up and were turned away because it books up fast

    This my favorite place to go for a Kilkenny beer!! A perfect pour every time. My husband and I…read morealong with my sister and her husband came for an early dinner before heading to the movie theater. We were ordered some happy hour priced appetizers such as the Celtic knots, hummus and sausage rolls. All were tasty but I have to admit the knots were my favorite as I love hot pretzels. For dinner hubby and I shared the Hockin or flocking molly. A delicious combination of mashed potatoes and Irish sausages. All our servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The weather was also perfect for enjoying the patio. I can't wait to come back for St Patrick's Day!

    Lil disappointed they do shift change in the middle of music bingo. Trying to get ppl to cash out…read morewhile in the middle of the game is not easy. Bar tenders kept walking past a guy and paid no attention to him. I think 4 ppl bar tenders walked past him to go to tables and ignored him. He tried to get someone's attention with no luck. He put his wallet and credit card out, but that didn't help. Finally, our bartender came back near us finally and asked if we wanted another round but completely ignored him. I said, yes we need drinks, but he would like something, take care of him first. We ordered food and the guy put our food literally on top of our cards while in the middle of playing and trying to dab the cards. Why he didn't put it next to us was beyond me. Overall, I love the place but def some off moments. However, I'm excited to see the new build out and how big it will be.
