Delicious! Must stop for a treat in Downtown Fort Myers…read more We got a sampler pack of 6 different macarons, and each were amazing. I especially loved pistachio, lemon cream, and praline! They make chocolates as well, intricate truffles and other options like chocolate cigars and chocolate lipstick. You can also get coffee and gelato here. Not a ton of seating inside, but a few tables and minimal, European-style decor. This would be a great spot for a sweet bite after dinner, or to pick up something for a gift!

This New York style Italian restaurant is located in the heart of downtown for Fort Myers…read more This is a great spot for elevated dinning or birthdays. I had the fiocchi alla bianca which was filling, and it should pasta the purses with pear, cheese, mushroom shallots, and a light cream sauce. It was absolutely delicious, filling and I added grilled chicken. Not pictured were the extremely tasty meatball special topped with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmigiano. The only thing is that they were only three meatballs and they are quite small, so I would order 2 for a larger party. Service was great, I love that they replaced plates and silverware and we're super helpful when asked for recommendations. I also ordered a classic espresso martini which was one of the best I've had in Fort Myers. It's a little pricey, so it'll be prepared to spend.

We sent back a meatball appetizer as they were dry and could barely be cut (ended up on bill anyway). We objected to the tough as the tongue of a leather boot veal parmigiana - ate one bite, raised concerns and charged anyway, the broccoli rabe was so bitter (an Italian knows that only can be cooked out with time and so was a careless oversight, yet despite my concerns I was charged as welll. We were also charged for a $158 Barolo wine off the tab.... though id ordered a $50 Chianti Classico Reserva. If you know or actually care about Italian food you will know this is the most over priced scam in town - run, far away if you read this! Terra Nostra would serve you better in any and every aspect and hasn't ever messed up yet alone messed up everything you order. I only mention them as they would meet the same person with an honest and exceptional meal and for much less! SKIP! I hate to laugh, but the manager after 30 minutes found time after being requested and after establishing we were from simliar areas in an Italian heavy "Major city" that "yes, they don't do that right" and " yes, I remember my mom did it differently and avoided those issues" .... Just saying, and she knew her back home Italian. The only thing about Bruno's of "Brooklyn" is they'd be laughed out of brooklyn and Long Island! I lived over there too, save money, time and waiting 30 minutes for a manager who agree they cook sub par stuff momma wouldn't and still charge you nonetheless! I swear I was done writing negative reviews, but damn. I hate to, but here we are!

They hit all the right marks. Our meals were fantastic. I had catfish and was surprised that it wasn't a couple of dinky filets but it was a generous single piece. Terrific breading and steamy, flaky catfish within. Definitely something I'll order again. My dining companion had the fried chicken. It was exceptional: Battered perfectly and cooked exactly right: No pink inside, but still steamy and moist. (And, I mention this as one who struggles with frying chicken myself, it came to the table in just a matter of minutes. I expect fried chicken to take at least 30 minutes to cook but they must have some powerful juju in the kitchen to make orders come so quickly and well-prepared.) Sides were good. Prices were fair.

My friends and I were looking for a late dinner spot in the downtown Ft. Myers area after roller…read morederby last night. Coincidentally, I had just added a few new places to my Yelp collection from my "Wagyu burger" search moments earlier. Sip & Sizzle was on the list. It didn't disappoint. We got in w/o a reservation on an off-season Saturday night. Service was excellent. Drink menu was fun. Lots of yummy concoctions at fairly reasonable prices. But it's the wagyu beef that I can't stop thinking about today. We got the hot stone, where you basically finish cooking your proteins on the stone at your table. I was a little under-confident about this, but our helpful waiter Cody promised he'd be there to help. It wasn't needed. Unless you don't know how to cook or grill at all, I suppose. The Wagyu was out of this world. I had tuna as well, which was quite tasty potatoes au gratin were outstanding. And a polenta, which was good even better with the garlic butter on it. Cody recommended the right sauce for my proteins. I'm glad I asked this help on that. I was a little worried the menu was somewhat confusing overall as related to the stone, but in the end, my bill was very reasonable for the top-notch experience and delicious food.

Tried Sip and Sizzle for the first time, and unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with lunch…read more Maybe the dinner atmosphere and menu are a better experience, but lunch just didn't live up to what I was expecting. The margarita was average. The spinach and artichoke dip tasted watered down and lacked much flavor. Almost like frozen spinach that hadn't been drained properly. We ordered the Italian sandwich, turkey club, and a smash burger with truffle fries. The Italian sandwich was the only thing that was completely finished, though the polenta side was okay. The smash burger was a disappointment, especially because our son normally devours burgers, and most of it was left behind. The truffle fries were also not worth the extra $3 for the small tin. The turkey club was underwhelming. Unfortunately, when everyone at the table leaves food behind, not because they're full, but because they simply didn't enjoy it, that says a lot. I was really eager to try Sip and Sizzle, so it's a shame that our first experience wasn't better. Based on lunch, it's probably not somewhere we'll be returning to.

As we entered the lobby the amazing aroma of coffee filled the air. We walked to the coffee shop where we found whole bean house blend organic coffee in bags. We bought a bag.

The coffee was amazing! The next time we need coffee we will stop when we can have a cup there and buy a couple more packages. Your coffee checks all the high quality coffee boxes and then some!

Myers as it seems mostly set-up for the convenience of guests, but there's no reason you can't come enjoy. Service was okay - nothing exceptional. Seating is pretty much the lobby seating in the hotel, which is comfortable. This is more of a grab and go location. Drinks and snacks are good with several options. Prices r similar to any other coffee place. Since this is part of the lobby of the Luminary, this coffee shop includes various specialty food items (can be good gift if you want to send someone items representative of SWFL or if someone wants to take home a little flavor of the area), candies and plush toys. Beware if you're going there with a little one- the plushies r really soft and cute. U might end up having to buy one.

Awesome Ice Cream!!…read more Happened by this place as we were exploring Ft. Meyers area and decided to stop in for ice cream. It was awesome! The servers are helpful and friendly providing free samples so you can decide on what you want. In addition to ice cream they have fudge and candy. I had the expresso coffee as a single scoop cone. Their "single" scoop is huge, so be forewarned that it is equal to what I have seen as 2 or even 3 scoops elsewhere. It's not cheap (but what is these days) - we paid about $13 for 2 cones, but it was amazingly good and worth every penny.

They arrived on-site two hours before our guests arrived to heat some of the food items and prep the food displays and stations. Then the servers worked at our party for 2.5 hours (Kayla and Amanda). After about two hours, they broke down the displays and chafing dishes, and "re-displayed" the food on my counter in such a beautiful fashion in disposable tin pans so we could continue to enjoy the food even after they were gone. They left some styrofoam containers, too, in case anyone wanted to take something home. I think my kitchen was cleaner when they left than when they arrived! I have been getting calls all day from guests who are raving about the food and the servers! Thank you, Team G3!

I'm not sure what the city council has against good music establishments in the city, but thank goodness Lucky has filled that gap. It's a regular "local folks" bar before 9pm then it switches over to a hip, youth energy joint. It's quite impressive. Ryan is the top dog and he keeps this place safe and lubricated all night (he sleeps there, it seems). So us local old dogs feel right at home when he's there. And I have to mention, they have one of the best happy hours in the area. Happy hour lasts all week M-Su 2-9pm. It's unbeatable. Well drinks, wine and good beer at affordable prices. It's why I go back. I'd be remiss to mention the top-notch staff. Bartenders who know your drink when you walk in and are genuinely pleasant to be around. (Not to mention a barback that works his arse off.) As a regular, it's nice to pop in, get a drink and chat about sports or whatever before making the trek back to real life.
