Food was delicious. They even have a Gluten-free menu (Minus deserts 😩) they handled my gluten and my sea food allergy beautifully. The waiter even made sure my plate was handed to me before he handled the other plates at the table that had sea food.

From the woman that answered the phone to the bartender that gave me my carry out order, every single person I encountered was very friendly and professional. The coconut cheesecake (Gluten free) was the best dessert I’ve ever eaten. The inside of the restaurant is decorated so nice! This is a new stop for us when we vacation.

Dinner special was sesame encrusted hogfish with mango butter sauce w/ rice, mixed vegetables, and fruit in a chocolate cup… it was excellent! We also had the grilled grouper sandwich (less the bun for gluten free option) with house made chips. Everything was well prepared, flavorful, & our server Chelsie was great. Will definitely make this stop every time on Sanibel.

We visit Sanibel once a year and get breakfast here several times during our stay. The proportions are large and everything we have tried was good. The most important thing to note for us is their gluten free options, my wife has celiac and has never been gluten'd here. We will continue to eat here on our future trips.

Food was great but I didn’t have a good experience. We had 19 people with 8 kids at a separate table and the staff bought the kids food before we even took our order. By the time our food arrived our kids were completely restless and running around the place. They were helpful about giving me gluten-free choices and the Magi that I ordered was excellent.

The atmosphere was fun and true to Sanibel Island. The guitar player was able to be heard but not overwhelming. The Asiago gnocchi in Cajun cream sauce was fantastic as was the Mahi dinner my wife ate. They have a gluten free menu, too.

Our visit was for brunch and we were a party of 6. We were seated in what was referred to as the gazebo but it wasn’t where our friends thought we would be. The room was really a private party room with no view of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. There were other tables available but our server seemed annoyed because this was the room we requested. Rather than cause a problem we stayed in the non-view room. As we began to order we asked for separate checks but was urged to have one and split it 3 ways because it was easier to divide the check into 3 at the end. Our service was quick and we were not rushed. Water and coffee was refilled frequently. There were gluten-free options and our server was very accommodating to that fact. Our meals were good but the presentation was a bit sloppy as you can see from the photos. The poached eggs were a bit over cooked. Thus the 4 star rating. I would dine at the Thistle Lodge again but would request a Gulf view on our next visit.

Charming little bistro. Exquisite food, well plated and served. Chef/owners and staff are collegial yet professional. We do not drink alcohol so cannot judge wine menu, but otherwise simply delightful on every level. Prix fixe menu was ample, and entire menu was appealing. Not sure about vegetarian or vegan options. We had trout almandine and steak frites preceded by house rolls, pate, and light green salad with fresh mustard vinaigrette. Best meal I've had on the island. Actually took home dessert because we were full. Gluten-free friendly. Highly recommend.
