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.

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.

Excellent food and experience! My wife has Celiac and the staff were very accommodating and helpful with her gluten free needs. The Italian wrap was delicious and well made with fresh ingredients and the tomato soup dipper was superb. Thick cut, crispy bacon was perfectly prepared and the smoothies were delicious as well! This should be on your list of places to try whenever you visit Sanibel.
