I had a pretty good experience at Torched Bar & Grill. The servers were friendly, attentive, and…read moremade sure we were taken care of. The atmosphere is also a highlight--it has a cool, laid-back vibe, especially considering it's located in a shopping center. It definitely feels like more of a local hangout than a typical shopping-center restaurant. The coconut shrimp were decent. They weren't overly sweet, which I appreciated, although they were on the small side. The fries were probably the weakest part of the meal--they were just okay and could have been hotter. A couple of things stood out about the bar area. The bar top was somewhat sticky, and there was a noticeable sour/dirty-bar smell that took away a little from the otherwise cool atmosphere. Overall, though, I enjoyed the vibe and the friendly service. It feels like a place where locals come to grab a drink, hang out, and have some food, and I'd be willing to come back.

There was a group of St Louisans in town, so we got together at Fancy's. I chose the place based on…read moreYelp and their recommendations. The place lives up to the name Fancy. The decor was very pleasing to the eye. It reminded me of a high-end casino; the decor was perfect. There were really two options for lunch. The fried chicken is either spicy or non-spicy. The other was the meatloaf sandwich. I went with the spicy chicken. It is spicy, not prohibitive, but you know it has a kick. The sides were huge. I had coleslaw and greens. The coleslaw had an interesting, spicy flavor. I enjoyed the coleslaw. The greens had no meat, i.e., bacon, pork fat, nothing. I like greens, but these were very bland. We ate after 1 pm, so we had the place to ourselves. The server was doing double duty as bartender and server. He did fine, just not the best. We were sitting at the table, and it was rocking. A person came up and took it upon himself to fix the table. He was the sous chef and was off duty at the time. Obviously, this employee is proud of where he works.

We sat in a four top near the bar area and enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant and friendly servers and host. Our food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. We had to order Fancy's signature chicken-n-waffles, and also ordered the chicken pot pie and tomato soup. 2/3 dishes were great. The chicken-n-waffles lived up to the hype and our last memories of the dish. It features a crispy waffle with strong notes of vanilla, sweet housemade buttermilk syrup, and savory chicken deep fried in beef tallow. Both the chicken and waffles were cooked perfectly. The tomato soup was also very good, with a strong tomato and basil flavor and chunky pieces of tomato in the soup. Although the chicken pot pie looked great, it was unfortunately extremely salty. I believe that Southern food is generally on the saltier side, but not to the point where the only ingredient you can taste is salt. Hopefully this was just a mistake that night and it is normally not made this way. We overall enjoyed the experience, and will give Fancy's downtown another try some day.

I can't believe I've never been to this First Watch on Pine Island Road in Cape Coral before! The…read morerestaurant was clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated. They even have a really nice outdoor seating area. The hostess greeted us right away and seated us quickly. I ordered a pancake with a side of bacon, and both were delicious. The pancake had that perfect little crispy crust around the edges while still being soft and fluffy inside. It did lack that salty aftertaste which I love. The bacon was cooked exactly how I like it: nice and crunchy. The prices were comparable to other restaurants in the area, and our waitress was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'll definitely be back. If you haven't tried this First Watch yet, I'd say it's worth a visit! My friends really enjoyed their breakfasts as well.

We each had a soup of New England clam chowder for me and my guest had the bisque soup. Drinks were unsweetened iced tea. The bread that is brought to the table is absolutely the finest made in a restaurant bread I have ever eaten! Service was absolutely outstanding, over the top incredible!

We had assumed brunch was only offered on Sundays, like many other restaurants. After explaining the situation to our server Rhya, she went above and beyond by speaking with the head chef to see if we could order from the full menu. Thanks to her kindness and willingness to help, the chef gladly accommodated our request. Rhya truly delivered outstanding customer service and earns 10,000 stars in our book! Now for the food... My Mt. Kilimanjaro Burger was absolutely phenomenal--easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The thick-cut bacon was cooked to perfection, and the melted cheese tied everything together for an unforgettable bite. The Southwest Chicken Bowl was generously portioned, and every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the entire dish was delicious from start to finish. The Citrus Salmon was another winner. It was cooked perfectly and served with creamy mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. I highly recommend it! As a veteran, I also want to sincerely thank Rhya for extending a military discount on my meal. Gestures like that are always appreciated. The interior of the restaurant features a spacious open-concept design with a warm, rustic charm. From the exceptional service to the incredible food and welcoming atmosphere, this visit exceeded our expectations once again.
