Restaurants near Travelodge North Fort Myers

Run, don't walk to the restaurant. There is a new chef in town. In the past they have been very good but this time it was fabulous. Really wonderful. They change chefs often, so don't wait.

I’ve been several times, but today was a “girl’s lunch”. One in our group has never been and loved it. She ordered a salad with blackened mahi. I had the blackened grouper sandwich and our other friend had the grilled cheese with bacon. We all enjoyed our lunch! Can’t go wrong with Oxbow!!

Our group of 6 had a great dinner at Sip & Sizzle. We loved the design of the space. The rotating shelves of bottles behind the bar is a nice feature, as are the single large banquette chairs arranged in an outward facing circle, each anchoring a table for 4. Drinks from the wide ranging "Sip" menu were interesting and warranted a second round. The table shared the Crostini Trio and Limoncello shrimp as starters, and we each ordered two proteins served on the signature sizzle stones. Our booth was a bit crowded once the food arrived (there is much more elbow room for parties of 6 at the tables outside), and our selections covered just about all of the options available on the "Sizzle" menu for proteins, sides and sauces. Everyone enjoyed their main course, and the novelty of the sizzle stones will probably age well (just like sharing a hibachi table at a favorite spot never gets old). The chocolate mousse and key lime bars were shared as dessert and we all agreed that we would definitely be dining at Sip & Sizzle again.

Food was great. Wait staff attentive. This was my second visit in less than a week. Both times the wait time to get our food was really really really long. On my first visit it was about 3:30pm and the restaurant was not busy at all. This current visit it was a Friday night at 6:30pm and it was moderately busy. Both times I substituted items. The first meal was served with the wrong potatoes and the second meal was served with the wrong vegetable. This was not a deal breaker as they made it right in a fairly short time frame. I will be going back. The view on the water and the quality of the food makes it worth the wait......be sure to order a caesar salad. It was really good and you won't starve waiting for the main entree.
