The staff, from the hostesses to the waiters, are always kind, professional, and do a great job. I truly have no complaints about the restaurant itself. I'm writing this review because of a very strange experience we had that I feel compelled to share. We had a reservation for my mom's birthday. When we arrived, our table wasn't quite ready because the previous guests were still sitting there after paying their bill. This was absolutely not the restaurant's fault, and we had no issue waiting while the table was being cleared. Another couple came in and was in the same situation, also waiting. There was one open booth, and the host let us know it was reserved by request. Totally fine, no one had an issue with that. Then a third couple arrived, and that booth was assigned to them. While I was simply talking to my mom, the woman from that couple suddenly got in my face and yelled, "We live here!!!" and then walked off to the table. She came off very angry and mean, which completely caught me off guard, as well as the other couple waiting; they were also very taken back. It was such bizarre behavior. The situation had nothing to do with tourists, snowbirds, or who "lives here." We also live here year-round, had a reservation, and weren't upset or making faces, we were just waiting patiently. The entire interaction was confusing and unnecessary. To be clear, this review has nothing to do with the restaurant, which we love and will continue to return to. This is more of a message to that woman, in the off chance she reads this: that was one of the strangest and most uncomfortable interactions I've ever had in a restaurant, and it made absolutely no sense. Maybe don't do that next time.

We…read morearrived a few minutes early, but they made arrangements and had us seated within 5-10 minutes. Our server was quickly at our table to take our drink order and invite us to proceed to the buffet. They offered a nice selection of meats, veggies and salad. The prime rib and ham at the carving station was quite tasty. For meat on the buffet, they offered chicken and salmon, both also tender and tasty. I also really enjoyed their roasted baby potatoes, they were quite flavorful. There was an omelet and waffle station and on the buffet, they had scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and biscuits with gravy. I skipped all the breakfast items and focused on the lunch meat, veggies and potatoes. I only went up once and was thoroughly stuffed. Oh, and the Bloody Mary with Tito's vodka was pretty tasty, too. The dessert table had a nice variety of breads, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, etc. I would say they tasted good, but were not over the top. That said, I really did appreciate the selection and the care they took to ensure the table was clean and full of sweet treats. It was a busy environment, but casual and it didn't feel too hectic. Our server was very attentive, friendly and efficient. All in all, we enjoyed our Easter buffet at Burntwood Tavern and would go again.

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.

We split our time between…read moreCleveland, Ohio and Fort Myers, and this place has become one of our favorite spots whenever we're in town. What makes Mango Rita's so special is the incredible lineup of tribute bands they bring in every week. If you grew up on the music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s like we did, this place is a dream. We've seen amazing tributes to bands like KISS, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe and more--and the quality of the bands is outstanding. In fact, the shows are so good that we sometimes plan our trips to Fort Myers around which bands are playing! Beyond the music, the atmosphere is fantastic and the crowd always seems to be having a great time. It's one of those places where everyone is there to enjoy the music and have fun. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, J.J. and her husband, and hearing their story. They previously owned one of the largest nightclubs on the East Coast in Maryland before bringing their passion for live music to Fort Myers Beach. After Hurricane Ian destroyed their original location, they rebuilt their vision further inland--and we're so glad they did. They're a wonderful couple and you can tell how much heart they put into this place. If you love live music, especially classic rock and iconic bands, Mango Rita's Rhythm Room is an absolute must-visit. We look forward to every show and can't wait for many more nights of great music there!
