Ron is the best bartender .He really knows how to make the perfect drink..Fresh Catch is lucky to have him..

We love fresh catch on ft myers beach so we were excited about not dealing with the traffic. Nice restaurant. Much different without a water view. I would suggest sitting in the bar area at the tables surrounding the large bar. The big room is very loud and somewhat sterile. The food was good but our server was SO bad she completely ruined the dining experience. From the moment she started coughing over the table to ignoring 3 of the 4 people when asking for appetizer orders. When telling us the desserts she omitted some. When one person asked for cream for the coffee she said she was in a rush so brought the box of creamers. The other servers seemed to healthier and happy to be there. We will go back but after season is over we will return to Ft Myers location read more

We had the pleasure of having dinner last night and decided to be seated at the bar. We were immediately greeted by Jen with a huge smile and friendly personality. My wife and I both had their Salmon with a Citrus Beurre Blanc sauce that was cooked to perfection. Jen constantly checked in on us, was friendly and made several great suggestions for items on their menu. This is the second time we've had Jen assist us and she is a big part of why we keep coming back, along with the great food. Our loyalty always lies with restaurants that offer the combination of great service + great food = a winning combination. We hope Fresh Catch thrives in that location because Estero needed a new dining experience there. Kudos to your Chef and especially to Jen!! read more

Fish was undercooked and raw in middle and had to be sent back . Server was too busy and we only saw her a few times during whole meal. The room we were seated in behind the hostess stand is where ambiance went to die ! It's like they ran out of ideas and just put tables and chairs in there. The manager did get the fish cooked properly the second time to his credit . read more

Food was good , however, very small piece of salmon for the price. All dinners were tapas servings. Our waitress was excellent!! Friendly and very attentive. Available always and accommodating! Not sure how soon I would go back. Maybe try the happy hour. read more

Colleen, our server was terrific , friendly, & knew about eveything on the menu. All her recommendations were delicious. All of us picked the prefix swizzle menu, everything was great for all 4 of us. Will be back & ask for Colleen! read more

We picked Fresh Catch Inland because it was locally owned and this was a new location for them. We were not disappointed! Kathleen was our server and made the evening extra fun. I appreciate it when a server recognizes when a diner wants "quiet" service and when they enjoy a more casual fun interaction. We're snowbirds so we probably won't be able to get back there this trip, but we wish them the best with the new restaurant and we'll see them next trip. read more

Fish was over cooked and dry! Our waitress was NOT friendly! Do not try to substitute a side. NOT acceptable and charged for any changes! Baked potato was HARD and not able to cut into it with a knife! we will NEVER go back, that is how bad our food and experience was! We have been to Fresh Catch Bistro. Food was good but not treated well there either. we are done! They will have to do a LOT better to stay in business! read more

Excellent food and service by Jessica! The prix fixe menu offered was such an incredible value...glass of house wine, appetizer, entree and dessert for $35! Miso salmon was so delicious! My compliments to the chef and staff. read more

Clean, modern coastal atmosphere. Great bar area! Well prepared food and wonderful service.

FCI was a good selection for dinner. We both ordered grouper - one was the baked grouper 'spicy' (not spicy at all) pecan crusted grouper plate and a separate grouper grilled. The baked grouper pre-packaged plate was excellent, fish was well cooked, tasted perfect. The grilled grouper was a smaller piece of fish and wasn't as tasty, cooked a little too long. Service was good, overall the expected experience. read more

Absolutely AMAZING!! The staff is incredible as well! The general manager has done such a great job with the menu, the ascetics to the restaurant & bar! read more

My husband and I and our friends dined last night for the first time at Fresh Catch Inland. It was a total disappointment. The starters were subpar; the roasted brussel sprouts with goat cheese were presented in a bowl with just the skins of the sprouts and absolutely no goat cheese. My cesaer salad was soaked with dressing, very large leafy lettuce and the chicken barely grilled. My husband ordered the beet and pear salad. There were hardly any beets and the pears were extremely hard. Speaking of hard, the butter that was presented was frozen. Needless to say, we will not be patronizing this restaurant and will definitely redirect friends who want to give it a try! Very disappointing for a new restaurant with a major renovation! read more

Sea Bass was dry with no flavor and the veg & Baked Potato were cold. Terrible Dinner!

I want to give a 1 star but must give them credit as food was good. It was the other stuff that was the turnoff. Went on a Tuesday night around 6:30pm. About 10 people in the place. Took a few minutes to be seated. Food was good but took over an hour to get our food. We started with smoked fish dip, and my wife asked for a few extra RITZ crackers and was told it will be an extra $1.50 charge. We thought that was pretty tacky but thats how they run things. Definitely will not go back. read more

WE were frequent flyers at Fresh Catch on fort Myers Beach! Very sorry to see it close. The one that opened at the former Bay Front Bistro is not even close to the same, parking !is difficult and completely usurped by Junkanoo! It is easier to leave the Island at South end than it is go go North! The Fresh Catch Inland, is bright, spacious, and welcoming! Happy hour has ALL the best of the Original Fresh Catch amenities and MORE! Ellli was welcoming and charming We have gone 4 rimes and plan to go again next week ! read more

Food was decent but nothing spectacular! Caesar salad had zero flavor in the dressing. Red fish was very good, but the Blood Orange sauce had no orange flavor. Cookies and Cream Tiramisu Dessert was mediocre. Not sure if I would go back because of this. Service was excellent and the decor is very well done. Multiple people stopped by including Chef, which was nice! read more

My first time in this place. Good food and great attention. The waitress Madison was great! Anyone should give it a try!

Let's start by saying I had a great time at the grand opening. The music was fun. We were even dancing. The bartenders and staff were super friendly. Unfortunately, it was so crowded. The staff was not prepared for it. We had to wait an hour for our drinks and food. I would've ordered more food, but I didn't want to wait another hour. I felt we were misled and the manager did a bait and switch. We were given a grand opening celebration flyer last time we went and we're very excited about going. I sent this flyer to all my friends so they would join us. When we got there, there was a new flyer which negated the old flyer. The one we were given said we were going to have complementary food bites and happy hour prices all day. Apparently there was also 20% off food menu, but we were only given a happy hour menu. When we got there, the new flyer only said live music and giveaways but no complementary bites or happy hour prices. I'm very disappointed and again felt like it was a bait and switch. read more

Second time to this place and will NOT return. Food poor - my Grouper was very dry and overcooked. Supposed to come with a fruit salsa which was omitted and I had to ask waiter for it. He returned over 5 minutes later with a tiny cup with a teaspoon of salsa! My friend had salmon which was undercooked. Waiter poor- never checked back with us after food was served. My husband's expresso martini served with a lot of ice and no coffee beans- when he said something to our waiter,his response was "I will let them know"! He never offered to bring him another drink! I called the "manager" after we left and his response was "Sorry!" Their restaurant in Fort Myers Beach is great but this one needs improvement! read more

Nice place. We sat outside and it was pleasant. Risotto was cooked "al dente".....but it was crunchy and undercooked. My salad was good. Sauce for my husband's fish was cold, shouldn't it be warm or hot? Disappointing for first experience, may try again. read more

the restaurant is relatively new and somewhat hard to find, set off in the Coconut Point mall, but please go. the ambiance is very nice, the bar area is great, the staff is interested in pleasing you. it definitely leans towards creative fish dishes. there are hand held options and filet. the tuna bites are delicious. Prices are pretty good for the Naples area. the original restaurant in Ft. Myers is extremely popular. read more

Amazing food. The service was fantastic and the artwork and interior is stunning. Definitely a place to hang out and have amazing food and drinks. read more

Very nice staff, manager checked on the table. The menu sounded great, but the food was not very flavorful. Unfortunately we will not return. read more

Very loud and noisy happy hour. They played music on top of it. Could hardly talk with people at our table. Happy hour drinks were very reasonable and good. The food was just okay. The sliders and octopus were good. The grouper bites were okay. They must been running low on calamari, it was the size of a dime if that. The service was attentive and good. read more

Had a few appetizers and drinks with a group of friends the other nite. We weren't as impressed as we all thought we'd be. Appetizers were so so except for the oysters and few of us ordered margaritas which tasted nothing like a margarita. read more

Such a great time at Fresh Catch! The food and service was tremendous, and music by Wendy Renee was icing on the cake! Oh, and the key lime pie was to die for! read more

Overpriced mediocre food, restaurant looks like a coffee shop, service iffy. They charge Naples prices for an mall parking lot place that's not very good read more

Fresh local seafood! Best seafood in Estero. Atmosphere and service are great. Try the pecan grouper, it was excellent. We have had four excellent meals at Fresh Catch, you will not be disappointed! read more

Food is average at best. Very loud in dining area as tables are close together. The host put the four of us at a table that was in the walkway on a corner. Not a good place for a table. It was a weekend night and wasn't very busy. Service was okay. read more

Fresh Catch Inland is the kind of place you want to come back to--great food, chill vibe, and super friendly staff. Everything tastes fresh and made with care, like a local gem you're lucky to find. read more

We had a reservation for 4 guests and they seated us in the back of the restaurant as we passed several open tables in a more desirable location. We asked to be moved and we told it would be a 15 minute wait so we stayed at the table in the back. At this point I wish we would have left. Three of us has fish tacos and that is all you got not beans, rice etc... Another guest had mediocre shrimp. The waiter was pleasant. Too many other good restaurants to choose from. Will not be back read more

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful. I would recommend making time to make a reservation.

Food was excellent and service was great as well. We had salmon and mahi and both were delicious

This was a terrible terrible experience tonight. First time there. We were sat at the table and no one came to wait on us. We had to flag someone down. We ordered 3 glasses of wine and the server recommended a bottle. We were celebrating a birthday so we agreed. Unfortunately we didn't look at the price. This particular bottle of wine at any store is $25.00. This restaurant charged $70.00. Then we received a basket of frozen rolls. Then our entrees came. All 4 were cold and the risotto was crunchy. All the food went back and came slightly warmer and still super raw risotto. We never saw a manager despite the issues we had. The server took 1 entree off the bill. What should have happened was a manager should have come to apologize and comped the table. This lack of service is unforgiveable. The dining room was more empty than full. The bar was busy for happy hour. Im very disappointed in our experience and as I said, it was my daughters bday. I won't be back. And I don't recommend it. read more

Wow! This was my second time here and both times have been amazing. Great service both times and great food!!! We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef last night. You can tell he loves what he does. Food came super quick out of the kitchen. My favorite drink the Gillian's margarita is a 10/10. The potstickers and crab cakes are to die for! And dessert was amazing as well. Everyone at my table loved their meal and we had so much fun with our server! I completely forgot her name (blonde with glasses) but she was awesome! Also I did make a reservation on open table for a fresh catch in the completely wrong state... luckily the hostess was so nice and understanding and got us a table on a busy Friday night! We will be back! read more

This restaurant is fabulous. Love Fresh Catch on Ft. Myers Beach and this sister restaurant is excellent. Food and service are superb. The restaurant is nicely decorated and our party of 4 had a great experience. read more

Food was decent but the atmosphere is generic. We did have good service but the music in the bar area was a little too loud to have a conversation. Also, the high top bar stools were uncomfortable. A person of size would have difficulty sitting in them. I am assuming this is true for the dinning room also bc they are the same style of chair just shorter. read more
