Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fort Myers Beach

Was well taken care of when we arrived. We seated in area we requested. Server was very polite. Let us know bartender was a little backed up because it was very busy. Only issue was we have gone there for quite a few years & always got bread to start with. Asked after we got our drinks we asked why we hadn't gotten any. We were told that we have to ask/request it. And server never mentioned it that I guess was a change in their policy.

We regularly frequent Terra Nostra and it doesn't disappoint. Starting with the bread, fresh out of the oven. I love the olive butter with oil, but my kids and husband don't so they request butter. The Caprese was fresh and delicious. My husband had the Marsala (always does) and LOVES it. I had Chicken Picatta and finished it all. So good. My son had lasagna.....delicious (a bit too cheesy for me), but he loved it and couldn't finish it. My other son had the veal Saltimbocca and loved it. I tried it and it was good but not my favorite, everyone is different! Ethan was our server, and he was so awesome, efficient, friendly, on top of it all. It was incredibly busy, and he didn't skip a beat. This restaurant is consistently excellent. The manager (sorry, don't know his name) is always there and on top of it all! We highly recommend!

Made reservations on Valentine's Day for late afternoon since they were booked. At any rate, we had drinks at the bar first and the cocktails were delicious. We had Molto Mojitos and a Aperol Spritz Martini which the bartender didn't know how to make the martini. I told her the ingredients and it was outstanding. The Drink tasted better than the one I had at another restaurant. We ordered the Lasagna, Dover Sole and Tagliatelle with Lobster which were all delicious. Had the Affogato for desert and that was also plentiful and delicious. Will definitely go back. Service was superb.

Our first visit and we enjoyed every minute. Service was 5 star thanks to Demi, our server, and Lisa, the manager. Nice wine by the glass selection. Steak and seafood were delicious. Issue with steak was immediately and professionally dealt with. House salad was flavorful. Desserts were substantial portion and superb. It is the best service and food we have had during two weeks in Florida. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Much to our dismay a reservation for an advertised buffet with carving stations /extensive salad bar /appetizers/sides/ desserts became an omelette bar with breakfast sides -which though good , was not what we expected ! apparently the advertised Xmas Buffet was from two years ago and we barely made the cut for the breakfast buffet ! our reservation was for 11 AM and the breakfast Buffet stopped serving at 11 AM. We were seated since we showed our confirmed reservation! Staff was confused n it took a bit to sort it all out. Never have had trouble with open table reservation before but this was a mess!!!
