Stopped by Oasis Restaurant for brunch and left full and happy. I ordered the country fried steak,…read moreand it definitely hit the spot. The steak was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and covered with a rich, flavorful sausage gravy that paired perfectly with it. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. The fries were crispy, the toast was nicely buttered, and the country fried steak was easily the star of the plate. My only minor complaint was the scrambled eggs. They were a little runnier than I personally prefer, as I like my eggs hard scrambled. That's an easy fix for next time--I'll just be sure to request them cooked a little longer. Service was quick, the staff was friendly, the food arrived hot, and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, it was a great brunch spot, and I'd definitely stop back the next time I'm in the area.

Oasis Restaurant was an Easter weekend detour that quickly evolved into something closer to a…read moreculinary awakening. I ordered the country fried steak, an item so often treated as a heavy-handed afterthought elsewhere and what arrived was, quite simply, one of the best I've had. Full stop. Let us begin with the gravy, because it deserves its own paragraph and perhaps a small thesis. The country sausage gravy achieved that elusive, almost mythical balance: not too thick, not too thin, just right. A Goldilocks scenario, if Goldilocks had abandoned the bears and committed fully to breakfast perfection. The steak itself followed suit. The breading was texturally precise, crisp without aggression, seasoned with intention, and generously portioned. Each bite felt deliberate, not accidental. And then, the hashbrowns. Crisp. Structured. Respectable. I say this with full awareness of the weight of the statement: they rival those of Waffle House which, in certain circles, is not praise given lightly. What struck me most was the absence of complaint. Nothing to critique, nothing to adjust, nothing to excuse. Just a meal executed with clarity and confidence. I left feeling not only satisfied, but dare I say spoiled. The kind of spoiled that makes you consider the logistics of returning to Fort Myers for no reason other than to relive the experience. Oasis is not just serving breakfast. It is setting a standard.

Husband and I tried Stones Throw in downtown Cape Coral tonight for the first time. All I can say…read moreis WOW! As soon as we arrived, we knew something big was happening at the bar area. Turns out they have an incredible happy hour, but we were truly interested in dinner... So we asked for a table. The interior at Stone Throw is beautiful, well decorated, and in a great location on Cape Coral Parkway with ample parking. Our waiter, Shawn, was quick to greet us and offer drinks. Husband had some beer questions, and Shawn was ready with answers/suggestions. Being a red wine girl, I happily ordered a bottle from their ample list. We started with an appetizer of brussels sprouts. They were absolutely amazing with pecans... Not something we have had before. Highly recommend. I opted for their prime fillet, Husband had steak Diane. I cannot say enough good about these steaks. We've been to some of the best stake establishments from Naples to Punta Gorda, this ranks right up there! I did get the lobster tail add on, it was the most flavorful lobster tail I ever had in southwest Florida. Overall, one of the better meals we have had in our years of living in SWFL. Shawn kept our drinks (and waters) full, and was absolutely charming during our entire experience. He was always watching and nearby, but not obtrusive. He packed our leftovers for us, and then bagged the containers. Great touch, Shawn! Kudos to the manager who walks around to tables and asks about your meal, what brings you in, and if there's anything he can do to make your trip more enjoyable. Fabulous touch! I truly cannot recommend this place more highly. Will definitely be back! Five stars, Stones Throw!

Stones Throw had been on my list for a while, so I finally stopped in on a weeknight around dinner…read moretime. The place was beautifully decorated, and there was live music, saxophone player which definitely added to the vibe. We were seated outside, likely due to how busy it was. There was also a large wedding party, maybe 15 people or more, taking up a section outside. Our server was managing both that party and our table, and while he was friendly and clearly doing his best, the service just didn't land. It took a while for things to get moving. He brought the menus, but it was a long time before he returned. Drinks took over 20 minutes to come out. Bread came after the drinks, but with no plates or silverware, so we had to eat it with our hands. Not ideal. That said, the espresso martini was excellent--no complaints there. When the food came out, the presentation was beautiful, and everything tasted fresh and well-executed. That part of the meal definitely hit the mark. But then it took just as long to get the check, and by that point, the waiting added up. One small but noticeable issue was the smell of the table and menus--it gave off that old rag scent, which pulled me out of the otherwise upscale experience. I think this place has a lot of potential. The atmosphere is great, the food is solid, and the concept is there. But based on this visit, I would like to see sharper execution on the service side before I'd give it a higher rating. I will return.

If you're a vegetarian. Overall it's not easy to find food in the area that's a vegetarian. My mom picked this restaurant because she thought it had more vegetarian options because it did have cauliflower bites on the menu. I asked if I could substitute the cauliflower bites instead of fish for the tacos or in a burger? The waitress said that the chef said no there's no substitutions you have because it wouldn't look as pretty. Personally didn't like my food. It didn't have any flavor the cauliflower. Everyone thought the food was really good. They liked it however it was not as good as some other grouper that they had at a different restaurant later in the week. Great atmosphere not flexible with the menu, unfortunately

And I understand an average night! But like the 7th game of the Stanley cup and Florida is playing for the cup....turn on the sound! At least on the outside tv! That said... We love the Bonita Balloon! We live across the street so I am beyond grateful it's good!! The chicken wings (no sauce) are the best we have ever had! Ever! My daughter loves the BLT! I love the burger on rye! Add cheese and pickles! Sweet potato fires are amazing! Drinks are so so- it's a dive bar, Just being honest but good is fabulous!

Nothing puts me in a better mood than chicken soup. Dealing with soup. I am 16 years past 60. I decided that when I turned 60, there is an unwritten law that you must eat soup.

I'm a pescatarian, so it's hard to find a diner with enough options to fit the bill. Mel's does. I am much closer to the Naples locations, but the Bonita Mel's is so much cleaner and nicer. Some dishes are made with different/better ingredients here. Presentation is better. The interior is really nice and actually comfortable. The staff here is really great, too. We make the drive for those reasons. I tend to get shrimp in various forms, favorite being Boom Boom (although they're too heavy on sauce). Grouper sandwich is good. The fried apps are really really good. Salads are good. Husband likes the soups. Burgers and other sandwiches are repeat orders at my table. Most things on the menu seem to be hand cut/made. Certain things are locally sourced (says on back of menu). I think it's good food and large portions for the price. For the area, definitely!
