As good as it gets, & our best meal & drinks on the island!…read more We had expert server Nick & were so happy with him! He was extremely personable, fun, & sooo efficient at his job! He treated us like family, & took such good care of us. We started with cocktails: Miami Vice, Pina Colada, & a Pain Killer at Nicks suggestion. They were all delicious. Next up shared appetizers of smoked fish dip & crab cakes. I usually dislike crab cakes, but I wanted to eat all of them. The smoked fish dip was delicious too & whoever thought of frying the saltines is a genius! For our meals we each got a lunch for dinner platter which was plenty of food with the accompanying house made chips & super ripe fruit. Two of us got the coconut shrimp. They were large, fresh & delicious, very heavy on the batter. The pineapple dipping sauce was perfect with them. Two in our party got salmon & said it was excellent. They ate every bite of it. One of us devoured his lobster roll with great enjoyment. The only non- seafood eater had what he described as a really good burger. He's like Mikey from Life cereal, he hates everything...so that's very high praise for the burger. For dessert we shared both the chocolate cake & key lime pie. I usually don't like Key Lime pie because it's almost always too sweet. But theirs is amazing. Dense, creamy & very tangy, with grated lime zest all throughout the pie. The cake was delicious too. There wasn't a bite of anything left. The ambience is great. Very nautical with lovely views. The exterior is very pretty, & inside it is cozy, casual & approachable. The a/c works really well too. The servers were all cheerful & the other diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was such a great overall experience. Highly recommend!

Rachel, our server, was very attentive. She kept our coffee mugs filled. This place had pictures of the destruction associated with Hurricane Ian a few years ago.

Their new location is in the Village Shops. We had about a 15 minute wait for a table inside We were totally ok with that because it was in the triple digits temperature wise. Once we were seated all of us were ready to order immediately. We already knew exactly what we wanted. To start with we ordered the Giant Homemade Cinnamon Roll. Simply put was love this...Warm, fresh and glazed. For entrees I ordered the Mediterranean omelette (Sautéed spinach, onion, artichoke, tomato, black olive and feta cheese) with home fries and rye toast. The omelette was made perfectly, home fries were well seasoned, rye toast paired well with the omelette; my wife ordered the Bacon and Cheese omelette with side of corn beef hash. She said everything came out great; My mother in law ordered scrambled eggs with a side of corn beef hash. She said she liked her meal; My sister in law ordered the Mexican Omelette with no onions(Sautéed onions, bell peppers, jalepeños, diced tomatoes, sausage with cheddar jack cheese and a side of salsa and sour cream) with biscuits and a side of cottage cheese. She had to send back her omelette because she found onions in the omelette. Once came back things were good. Overall we love this place and it will always be on our list.

After spending most of the morning and part of the afternoon on the beach, hubs was craving pizza. Me? I had my doubts. Outside of NYC, I wasn't exactly convinced Sanibel was about to serve up a killer pie. I was wrong. Because for these parts, it's tasty alright. Dante's has a unique layout with a winding staircase leading up to a circular dining area. We started with the jumbo shrimp appetizer, doused in this creamy, spicy, garlicky, Parmesany-packed sauce that was totally outstanding. Then we each ordered our own 10" individual pie. Hubs went with the pepperoni, I chose the white pizza with mushrooms, minus the prosciutto. He loved his and I enjoyed mine too- but it needed more mushrooms. As for the pizza, the base is kinda thin but not paper-thin, the crust has a light and airy rise with a crisp feel- but not like a cracker. Shout-out to our server, Julia, who was friendly and attentive. Looks like Dante's has really stepped up for good. Hope it doesn't change.

Our server showed us how high up on the wall the water had risen during the storm. The place has a welcoming New Orleans decor and vibe. Lots of specialty cocktails, including the infamous Sazerac.

We shared a dozen along with an order of fried Green Tomatoes. The oysters were delicious. The tomatoes had a heavy breading.
