Awesome to find a gem in the Fort Myers area. Restaurant has a great selection of sandwiches to salads to steaks. We had a great chicken piccata, steak, medallions, hamburger and turkey burger. They were all excellent. We will definitely be back. Five star

We dined at The Crow’s Nest to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was elegant but not stuffy. The view was amazing. The food was outstanding although not cheap. The service was great. I would definitely recommend for a special night!
