- CCheriSouthwest Florida •8 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThe only problem was that we made a reservation for a special celebration. When we arrived, there were very few tables occupied but this young man took us to the end table right outside the restroom and with wine boxes piled up next to the table. I asked him why we were seated at the worst table so he did change it for us. I feel like they should put more effort into considering the table choices for customers who have reservations, are obviously dressed up and celebrating the evening.
