    Airline chicken
    Linda P.

    First time here. Our server was Hailey. Outstanding. She made great suggestions, her timing was perfect. Friendly, and knowledgeable. Was here to celebrate some Anniversary's. The food was amazing Give this place a try if you visit The Cape. We sat outdoors with great views. They had live music.

    From parking to dining everything was excellent. Hostess greeted us upon arrival; she was kind & courteous. We asked for a water view with partial shade & she seated us at a table that exceeded our expectations. We loved our view of the canal with passing boats and dolphins swimming nearby. Our server, Vicky was gracious, attentive and provided excellent service. Everyone's food was delicious; we had no complaints. I loved the sushi; flavorful & nice portion.

    Tuna bowl
    Christina M.

    Understaffed at best. Negligent at worst. We were told this was a great place to go so we made a dinner reservation for our group. Fridays are busy in the winter. I completely get that. It took us 10 minutes to be greeted and another 10 for us to get drinks. Dinner took another 45. Unfortunately, most of it was overcooked or underwhelming. The tuna poke bowl was a delicious exception. You could tell staff were trying their best but were stressed and stretched way too thin. That creeped into the service and demeanor. The real kicker was when the toddler was served a vodka water. Yep, you read that right. Instead of a water, the toddler got one with a shot of vodka. We quickly figured it out and told the server but it seemed to be more of an inconvenience than anything. This place has so much potential but I don't see us coming back again.

    Stopped for late lunch yesterday and really enjoyed it. Grouper sandwich and cocktail was delicious. Doesn't disappoint!

    Rumrunner with a floater

    The drinks are great, as expected. I got a rumrunner with a floater. Another friend got the "Miami Vice," super yummy. The menu was great. Big variety of food to please everyone. Everyone liked what they got. Our server was a young girl, and I am sad I can't remember her name, because she was amazing. The ambiance on the water was lovely.

    Seafood Mac and cheese sauce
    Marina F.

    This was my first time at Rumrunners for dinner and it was delicious! We got one pound of cold peel and eat shrimp. They were definitely the best peel and eat shrimp I've ever had!! They were very large shrimp, served on ice, and tasted so fresh! We will definitely be getting these again. We sat outside and it was very nice. After sunset, it got very buggy and our waitress accommodated us and moved us inside. The service was excellent! For my entree, I got the seafood mac and cheese, which was full of shrimp and scallops. I would definitely get this again. It was very tasty. The sauce isn't a typical cheesy Mac and cheese sauce, and it compliments the seafood very well. Someone I was with got the salmon. It came with rice, beans, and plantains. They also raved about their meal. Excellent food, service, and beautiful place. We will be back!

    Jamie was great. She made lunch fun! She's very entertaining and enthusiastic! We almost forgot that we were there to eat!! (App won't let me select service and ambiance)

    Wedge salad
    Eileen B.

    A beautiful place with waterfront views You can see the boats pulling in and out The water is lovely They have a happy hour at the bar from 330 to 630 Lots of reasonable priced appetizers We ordered off the menu petite wedge salads garlic roasted cauliflower and crab cakes Omg fantastic It was a great evening

    Nice "boathouse" vibe, on the river. Very nice views. Family friendly restaurant, and even has a big sandbox outside. There were 4 of us dining, and all ordered different things. Wife ordered seafood pot pie. She said it was amazing. I ordered the French onion soup, and slow cooked beef short ribs. They were both done to perfrction, and full of flavor. Cousins ordered airline chicken, and Moho salmon. Again, both raved about the meal. We truly enjoyed the meal. Our server was Haley. She is very friendly and professional. She explained everything we asked with great detail. We would definitely return, and we'd even ask to be seated where she was. I highly recommend this one.

    Came in for 1 quick drink at 4:30 and wanted to sit outside. There were at least 20 empty tables, but we were forced to sit inside sandwiched between two tables because the ones outside "all have reservations and they might come an hour early." Obviously by the time we had our 1 drink and left at 5, the vast majority, if not more, outside tables were open. Horrible customer service and lack of foresight on their part.

    Very refreshing & yummy Rumrunner

    Husband and I tried Stones Throw in downtown Cape Coral tonight for the first time. All I can say…read moreis WOW! As soon as we arrived, we knew something big was happening at the bar area. Turns out they have an incredible happy hour, but we were truly interested in dinner... So we asked for a table. The interior at Stone Throw is beautiful, well decorated, and in a great location on Cape Coral Parkway with ample parking. Our waiter, Shawn, was quick to greet us and offer drinks. Husband had some beer questions, and Shawn was ready with answers/suggestions. Being a red wine girl, I happily ordered a bottle from their ample list. We started with an appetizer of brussels sprouts. They were absolutely amazing with pecans... Not something we have had before. Highly recommend. I opted for their prime fillet, Husband had steak Diane. I cannot say enough good about these steaks. We've been to some of the best stake establishments from Naples to Punta Gorda, this ranks right up there! I did get the lobster tail add on, it was the most flavorful lobster tail I ever had in southwest Florida. Overall, one of the better meals we have had in our years of living in SWFL. Shawn kept our drinks (and waters) full, and was absolutely charming during our entire experience. He was always watching and nearby, but not obtrusive. He packed our leftovers for us, and then bagged the containers. Great touch, Shawn! Kudos to the manager who walks around to tables and asks about your meal, what brings you in, and if there's anything he can do to make your trip more enjoyable. Fabulous touch! I truly cannot recommend this place more highly. Will definitely be back! Five stars, Stones Throw!

    Stones Throw had been on my list for a while, so I finally stopped in on a weeknight around dinner…read moretime. The place was beautifully decorated, and there was live music, saxophone player which definitely added to the vibe. We were seated outside, likely due to how busy it was. There was also a large wedding party, maybe 15 people or more, taking up a section outside. Our server was managing both that party and our table, and while he was friendly and clearly doing his best, the service just didn't land. It took a while for things to get moving. He brought the menus, but it was a long time before he returned. Drinks took over 20 minutes to come out. Bread came after the drinks, but with no plates or silverware, so we had to eat it with our hands. Not ideal. That said, the espresso martini was excellent--no complaints there. When the food came out, the presentation was beautiful, and everything tasted fresh and well-executed. That part of the meal definitely hit the mark. But then it took just as long to get the check, and by that point, the waiting added up. One small but noticeable issue was the smell of the table and menus--it gave off that old rag scent, which pulled me out of the otherwise upscale experience. I think this place has a lot of potential. The atmosphere is great, the food is solid, and the concept is there. But based on this visit, I would like to see sharper execution on the service side before I'd give it a higher rating. I will return.

Definitely not bad, but the broth was lacking a little in flavor, so I probably wouldn't order it again. For the table, we got the shrimp tacos, Gouda Mac, and Poultrygeist. The shrimp tacos and Gouda Mac were definitely the standouts--both were great! The Poultrygeist was good overall and had great flavor, but the chicken itself was a little underwhelming. The aioli, though, was absolutely yummy! I'd highly recommend asking for extra on the side because it really made the dish. The portions were a good size, too. We all ended up having leftovers, which is always a plus! Service was great throughout the meal. Our drinks were constantly being refilled, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere had a fun sports bar vibe, but it was still relaxed enough that we could easily talk and catch up. Overall, a solid spot for a casual dinner with friends!

    Point 57 Kitchen and Cocktails stands out among the plethora of what I call "semi-upscale"…read morerestaurants which dot the eighth largest city in Florida. Dressed as a mini version of a Bahama Breeze restaurant, 57 hits on all cylinders. From scrumptious food, tasty drinks to staff that actually provides service that's "just right." Observant, friendly, fun, welcoming and attentive. My wife and I had the $20 Cape Royal Burger. A delicious 1/2 lb. Black Angus beef, with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and an included order of P57 fries which are fantastic! One of our friends enjoyed the $20 Grilled Shrimp Tacos which included 3 tortillas, with all the fixings and an order of the P57 fries. She liked it. Her husband started with an order of $22 Maryland Crab Cakes..FULL of crab! He loved them and followed with Shrimp and Pasta ($Unknown), ate it all, said it was great and was impressed with the bread. "It looked hard, but was nice and soft." Authors note: This was our first visit to Point 57, we had glanced at the lunch menu on-line. Both our friends and ourselves had a bit of sticker shock when we sat down and saw the menu Dinner prices. That is NOT a negative, it's a notification. The one big "REALLY!?" for me was the $27 "Starter" Lobster Mac and Cheese. It's a dish I've enjoyed at many great restaurants and had to pass because of the price. With that said, the food quality and service MATCH the price. And I highly recommend Point 57.

    When I saw that this restaurant was located on Del Prado, I should have known better. The reviews…read moreand website of Point 57 portray a classy dining experience. What I endured was something entirely different. We were a party of four, attending for an early weekend dinner. I fully expected a moderately upscale experience; what I endured was an absolutely freezing cold, nearly empty dining room that basically looked like an out-of-date Denny's. Besides the tired, dated decor, I was horrifically uncomfortable because of the temperature. I have experienced this several times in lower end restaurants - the staff keep the temperature at a level THEY find comfortable. Besides the shock of the terrible dining room, this entirely destroyed the dining experience. While our waitress was polite enough, she allowed the beverage of one of my guests to run out. This is unacceptable for a restaurant trying to draw a regular, more upscale clientele. The rest of the staff seemed essentially untrained and did not work as a team. I saw one person on staff with their fingers in their mouth on the dining room floor. The dated bar was filled with what looked like regulars. I didn't bother with a cocktail once I saw the dining room. I'd say I made a smart choice. The food was decent, but was entirely outweighed by everything else at this facility. This is the only reason I'm giving two stars. I didn't have the stomach to check out the restrooms. Ultimately, I'd say Point 57 is probably decent competition for Red Lobster or Applebee's. Personally, I will stick with Stone's Throw restaurant elsewhere in the Cape. Point 57 management should travel there; they might learn something.

    The Fort Myers Capital Grille absolutely lived up to what I expect from this brand: polished food,…read morea refined atmosphere, and first-class service. We started with the mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer with tomatoes. It was an interesting dish and definitely well executed, though I expected a few more tomatoes on the plate. The prosciutto seemed lightly pan-seared, which gave it a crispy texture that I really enjoyed, and the bread was wonderfully crisp as well. Overall, a solid starter. The main event for me was the Kona-crusted bone-in New York strip, cooked medium. I've had this dish at other Capital Grille locations, and it continues to be one of my favorites. The Kona coffee crust paired with the sauce is such a great flavor combination. The steak itself was a very good cut of meat, tender and not tough at all. I personally would have liked a little more sauce, but I can also understand that the coffee marinade and crust are meant to be the star. For dessert, I had the chocolate espresso cake, and it was excellent. It struck a great balance: rich and decadent without being overly sweet. The service was also excellent. I feel bad that I can't remember our server's name, but he mentioned he was fairly new, around seven months in, and he did a wonderful job. Friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. We even left him a taste of our bottle of wine to help him end his shift on a good note.
