Island View

The food is amazing. It's totally worth the visit. The calamari is unique and delicious. It is a calamari lovers dream. The view of the beach and the setting was amazing. The atmosphere is great and very diverse, you can hear accents from all over the place! My only concern is the length of time in between dishes. It took a long time for each set of dishes to come out so we were there for a while. I do prefer quality over speed but I could see how if its busier the wait could be frustrating for some hungry guests. The bread and oil dipping sauce was amazing. Everyone at dinner raved about it. I had the mahi mahi picatta. While i love locate a it lacked a strong lemon and caper flavor. It was there but was much more mild than the New York Italian flavors I am accustomed to. I would recommend this place and visit again. Enjoy!

Great restaurant with an awesome sun set view right on the gulf. We ate inside for a more formal experience and really enjoyed our meals. We had oysters, clam chowder, pasta and shrimp, grouper Oscar, and seared scallopsps with asparagus and cauliflower puree. To full to move we decided we couldn't leave without trying a few of their desserts. Great experience, we will be back.

Amazing place , second large group meal handled by their staff perfectly. The bride and groom tended to appropriately. Should be 6 stars. SEAN SHORE Mai`tred , AVA AND Bethany were beyond professional. A classy decor and soothing music of crooners setting an amazing mood, set by Sean Reid. If a beach fine dining is your jam this one is it!!

First time visiting yesterday & I really enjoyed the clam chowder & cream cheese dinner rolls! The chowder was absolutely amazing! My steak & jumbo shrimp we're also very good & steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. I have knocked off a star for this restaurant being labeled as "fine dining" as they let anyone that comes knocking in no matter what their wearing. I felt so over dressed, everyone was wearing casual beach type clothing, cut off t shirts & jean shorts, it put me off a bit. Also, the rice wasn't so great, tasted very plain. Not many sides to choose from. We called & reserved a booth next to the windows to watch the sunset, very beautiful & they even dim the lights right as it's setting so it gave off a romantic feel. (YES you CAN watch the sunset unlike one reviewer said, you want fine dining but if you didn't make a reservation you won't get a ocean view, obviously that's how fine dining works) Inside resembles what a fine dining restaurant should look like (besides the customers). It was pretty pricey but we got a deal during happy hour. Overal I would probably come back again next vacation.

I may be bias but at least I am honest. This is where we are having our wedding dinner. We love all the wait staff. The menu is extensive. They have the best view in Ft. Myers Beach!!! The dinner rolls seriously are worth a flight down...If you enjoy cocktails the dirty martini is amazing blue cheese stuffed olives (hand done). Happy hour here never disappoints I have stayed at Lani Kai 3 times this is always the best part!

Our favorite restaurant! Sean the manager was amazing and made sure we were happy every time we went! The meatballs were authentic and the best! We had them three nights in a row. Great view and also great servers. Totally recommend! Also the music was very relaxing and the live lounge singer was very good.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Island View! Once you get up the elevator it's very classy and the manager, Chris, was very kind and accommodating even though we didn't have a reservation. Our server Kris was also very attentive and warm. It was my birthday and the restaurant provided me with a free small champagne bottle and a free desert! The live singer also sang me happy birthday. It was so much fun and the food was delicious. We ordered a salad and our entrees came with salads and soups, and we also were provided with delicious warm bread with cheese stuffed in it. Vodka pasta was a 10/10! Everyone was so nice and checked in on us several times. Beautiful views and not too loud or dark in the restaurant. I will definitely be going back
