    Pot roast
    Elizabeth S.

    Terrific little place. Service was fantastic, friendly and fast. We had the potential to roast and baby beef. Tender and flavorful. Maduro were cooked perfectly. If we are even back in Ft Myers definitely eat here again .

    Giant red snapper. Yummy

    Good day. Made good money at work plus $5k in Bitcoin so felt in the mood for something special. This restaurant was across the street and did not disappoint the fish did not disappoint. The tamale was different but good

    Chicharron de Calamares
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here yesterday for dinner. Our family had found el patio on Yelp and after looking at the menu decided it would be a great place to eat. We decided to place the order through the Yelp app via Grubhub and I ordered a Aji de Gallina while my wife went with the Chicharron de Calamares and my father in law the Ensalada de la Casa. We received confirmation that our food would be ready in 15-35 minutes and it was ready whenever my father in law went in to grab it right around the 35 minute mark. Whenever we got the food home, we all dug in. My dish is what you would expect from an Aji de Gallina as is was served with boiled potatoes and white rice, and garnished with black olives and a slice of hard-boiled egg. As for the taste itself, it was decent. The sauce had a mild flavor to it and my favorite part of it was the texture from the nuts. Due to the sauce everything sort of tasted the same and by the time I was done with my portion I was still wanting more food. My wife thought her calamari was decent. With that being said, it's the first time I have ever see her not finish all of the calamari on her plate. Last but not least was my father in laws salad which unfortunately came without any dressing. The bottom line for me is that I probably wouldn't stop by here again in the future. While there was nothing wrong with our food per se and I thought that the Aji de Gallina was pleasant, I do think that there is better food out there.

    Tamales

    We love Peruvian food and found this gem in Cape Coral. The ambiance is very homey and welcoming. The staff is very pleasant and polite. We had a great experience with some delicious food. The ceviche was a perfect blend of flavors with great acidity and the fresh herbs. Lomo saltado was just amazing and flavorful. The tamales was very well seasoned and delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try the other dishes and appetizers.

    I went to Peru a month ago so I have been craving food since. While my parents were out at a doctors appointment I ordered from El Patio on Grubhub. The food was delicious. It was still hot when it arrived too. The steak came with two sides which I picked rice and salad. It was very filling. The potato appetizer was good too but I was full so I only had a couple bites. I saved the dessert for later. It was also yummy! I would definitely order from them again.

    Pescado a lo Macho / Camarones (Shrimp and yellow sauce)

    One of our favorite restaurants we tried during our stay. Great service, friendly/helpful staff, and very clean restaurant. We had Pescado A Lo Macho/Camarones (Shrimp in a delicious yellow sauce) and Tacu Tacu Ca=on Salgado De Maris (Seafood Mix over white bean/rice in a sweet soy sauce). Both dishes were fantastic. We had for dessert, Flan De Coco (Coconut Flan) which was very rich in flavor and Picarones (Fried donuts) in a homemade honey sauce with cinnamon sprinkled on . Both very good and all desserts were made in-house. Every dish was tasty and delicious. We will definitely try again.

    10/10 great flavor, lots of food for the price.  The ceviche was delicious!

I ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp with a side of onion rings. It was okay, but the Boom Boom sauce just didn't compare to the versions I've had at other restaurants. The onion rings also weren't what I expected--they were more like crispy onion shoestrings rather than the thick-cut onion rings I usually enjoy. My buddy ordered the Fish Po' Boy, and unfortunately, it fell short as well. He felt there was far too much bread and not nearly enough fish. The highlight of our visit was definitely our server, Danielle she was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service from start to finish. She really helped make up for the inconsistencies with the food. At this point, I'd say I'm one for two on my visits. The first experience was excellent, while this one fell short with that being said, I do appreciate that they offer a veterans discount, and that's always a nice gesture. I'm hoping the next visit is more like my first because I'd definitely like to give them another chance.

They have happy hour specials unfortunately we missed those. I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich and it was absolutely fabulous enough mushrooms, and onions. The meat was tender.

Not good if you've been drinking beer for a while. As an added perk, we were given a beer Cosy which I believe may be sponsored by Sunlife homes. It was a nice gift and a nice thought. I'll be back.

    FINS Seafood & Dive Bar…read more Atmosphere & Service Occasionally, you discover a place that exceeds your expectations--and Fins did exactly that. We stopped by for dinner on Thursday at around 5:30 p.m. The spacious indoor dining room was attractive and nearly full. Outside, there is a large tiki bar, plenty of tables and chairs, and a small stage for live music. Smoking appears to be permitted at the outdoor tiki bar, which is worth noting. We chose to sit outside so we could enjoy live music. Our server, Alicia, was excellent--attentive with drinks, orders and happy to answer our questions. What We Ordered *Clam and corn chowder: A hearty bowl of soup with clams, corn, and potatoes. *Seafood skins: Crisp potato skins filled with shrimp, scallops, and bacon, then topped with melted Cheddar Jack cheese and Old Bay and served with sour cream and chives. *Cod fish and chips: Fresh Atlantic cod in a light beer batter, fried until crisp and served over fries with tartar sauce. *Haddock fish and chips: Fresh haddock in a light beer batter, fried until crisp and served over fries with tartar sauce. Food & Overall Experience The chowder arrived first and tasted even better than it looked. It was served hot and generously packed with clams, corn, and potatoes, with rich flavor in every spoonful. It is the best clam and corn chowder I have tried in the area. The seafood skins were also delicious and loaded with seafood. Both fish-and-chips dishes were among the best we have had locally. Each generous fillet covered the top of its basket, the beer batter was fried perfectly crisp, and there was a plentiful serving of fries' underneath. Everything we ordered arrived hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. We loved our visit, and FINS has earned a place in our regular dining rotation. We are already looking forward to returning and would gladly recommend stopping by. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Gulf Coast Terry

    Point 57 Kitchen and Cocktails stands out among the plethora of what I call "semi-upscale"…read morerestaurants which dot the eighth largest city in Florida. Dressed as a mini version of a Bahama Breeze restaurant, 57 hits on all cylinders. From scrumptious food, tasty drinks to staff that actually provides service that's "just right." Observant, friendly, fun, welcoming and attentive. My wife and I had the $20 Cape Royal Burger. A delicious 1/2 lb. Black Angus beef, with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and an included order of P57 fries which are fantastic! One of our friends enjoyed the $20 Grilled Shrimp Tacos which included 3 tortillas, with all the fixings and an order of the P57 fries. She liked it. Her husband started with an order of $22 Maryland Crab Cakes..FULL of crab! He loved them and followed with Shrimp and Pasta ($Unknown), ate it all, said it was great and was impressed with the bread. "It looked hard, but was nice and soft." Authors note: This was our first visit to Point 57, we had glanced at the lunch menu on-line. Both our friends and ourselves had a bit of sticker shock when we sat down and saw the menu Dinner prices. That is NOT a negative, it's a notification. The one big "REALLY!?" for me was the $27 "Starter" Lobster Mac and Cheese. It's a dish I've enjoyed at many great restaurants and had to pass because of the price. With that said, the food quality and service MATCH the price. And I highly recommend Point 57.

What I endured was something entirely different. We were a party of four, attending for an early weekend dinner. I fully expected a moderately upscale experience; what I endured was an absolutely freezing cold, nearly empty dining room that basically looked like an out-of-date Denny's. Besides the tired, dated decor, I was horrifically uncomfortable because of the temperature. I have experienced this several times in lower end restaurants - the staff keep the temperature at a level THEY find comfortable. Besides the shock of the terrible dining room, this entirely destroyed the dining experience. While our waitress was polite enough, she allowed the beverage of one of my guests to run out. This is unacceptable for a restaurant trying to draw a regular, more upscale clientele. The rest of the staff seemed essentially untrained and did not work as a team. I saw one person on staff with their fingers in their mouth on the dining room floor. The dated bar was filled with what looked like regulars. I didn't bother with a cocktail once I saw the dining room. I'd say I made a smart choice. The food was decent, but was entirely outweighed by everything else at this facility. This is the only reason I'm giving two stars. I didn't have the stomach to check out the restrooms. Ultimately, I'd say Point 57 is probably decent competition for Red Lobster or Applebee's. Personally, I will stick with Stone's Throw restaurant elsewhere in the Cape. Point 57 management should travel there; they might learn something.
