Point 57 Kitchen and Cocktails stands out among the plethora of what I call "semi-upscale" restaurants 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. read more

Made a reservation for my party of 4 for my Dads birthday. We arrived on time and were seated right away. The waitress came over before we even sat and asked if we wanted something to drink. I wanted to order a bar drink so I hadn't even looked at the menu yet, and same for the rest of my party so we asked her to come back in a few minutes. I'm not sure if this made her angry but we sat for about 20 min after that while she heavily served the people next to us with no waters or anything and also worked behind the bar... When she finally came over we gave our drink order and put in an app. We ordered the calamari and I ordered an espresso martini. Both were great! She still seemed to be taking so so long in between ordering. Our whole dinner took over 3 hours from 7:30, passed 10 For dinner I ordered shrimp scampi which was also so so good and for dessert we ordered the cheese cake which was also solid! I'm not sure I'd go back, for the price and amount of food they serve just didn't seem worth it to me as none of us had left overs but overall a solid meal read more

We always go for Tuesday steak night when in town. You can't beat this deal. The filet was cooked perfectly and so tender and delicious. The dessert portion of the deal got very small, it's half the size of what it used to be. My salad was also not as good, tasted like straight vinegar and I like vinegar. I also enjoy their old fashioned. Although it would be nice if they used a clear ice cube. Overall still a great meal and we will go again next week. We did try to eat here on Sunday night, we were seated right away, but sat at our table for 15 mins and no one ever acknowledged us, so we left and went to Fords. Not sure what happened, just glad it wasn't our first time or we would not have retuned read more

Absolutely one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The service was horrific from start to finish--slow, inattentive, and completely lacking any sense of urgency or customer service. To make matters worse, the food was terrible. Nothing about the meal was worth the price, and the overall experience was extreme. I'm usually pretty understanding when things go wrong at a restaurant, but this was on another level. Poor service combined with bad food made for an experience I definitely won't be repeating. There are far too many great restaurants to waste your time and money here. read more

We were visiting from out of town. We started with drinks. Hubby had the Old Fashioned which he LOVED - it was smoked to perfection. I had the Passionista and really enjoyed it. sweet with a little kick. We had the crab cakes and calamari. Both were tasty and well seasoned. Dinner we had the short rib with risotto and I had the shrimp scampi. Highly recommend both. Portions are not massive but we were very satisfied and too full to try dessert. Would love to visit this hidden gem again. Service was top tier and the bartender was amazing! read more

Was able to snag a reservation for four, two hours in advance, for dinner on a Sunday evening (off-season). The restaurant was moderately busy, but nothing crazy. We were seated immediately. We had to wait a little while for our server to greet us, but once she did, the night headed in the right direction! We started off with cocktails, but unfortunately, they had run out of fresh basil and therefore, the cocktails my mother and I ordered were unavailable. We opted instead for one of the featured cocktails on their summer specials menu and a mojito. The Lavender Lemonade, gin gimlet, and Espresso Martini (with Kahlua in lieu of Baileys) were all very good! The Mojito, although described as featuring Bacardi Silver, tasted like it was made with Cruzan, and therefore, a little cheap. The watermelon cocktail was okay, and the Smokin' Coconut was very interesting. For dinner, we started with Calamari and Fried Green Tomatoes (also featured on the summer specials menu). The Fried Green Tomatoes were cooked nicely, still very firm in the center with perfect cornmeal breading. They weren't too oily or greasy and the pimento cheese was a nice touch. The Calamari was good, but a lot of the pieces were crumbs and it was a little on the greasier side. Not sure if I would order it again but it definitely satisfied the craving. I enjoyed the Filet Mignon for my entree. It was cooked perfectly, juicy and deliciously seasoned, very peppery. I enjoyed the herb butter, but the steak sauce? Not so much. I switched out the mashed potatoes for the hand cut fries and they were nice and paired well with the steak. Because Point 57 is a scratch kitchen, they were able to leave the garlic out of my sautéed spinach (dietary restriction) which I greatly appreciated. Very accommodating staff and kitchen team! I also enjoyed the Wedge Salad. The other members of my party enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff, NY Strip special with Au Poivre, and the Short Rib Risotto. Everyone enjoyed their meals. For dessert, I enjoyed the Tiramisu special and we got the very last one! The restaurant is very cute and homey, and I particularly loved the look of the bar. I could see this being a great local spot to enjoy for happy hour or through their offerings that change with the seasons. I would definitely return. Huge kudos to our wonderful server, Kat, who was so sweet and went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. Enjoyed spending time with family here and would highly recommend! read more

I wish I had tried this place much sooner, I was always hesitant to come here as I am a spur of the moment diner, however, I regret not trying it. Sooner service was phenomenal, very attentive. The food was perfect and it definitely had a inclusive vibe as a solo diner. The bartender and staff were very personable and engaged. They were the perfect balance of engagement without overbearing. I will definitely be back. Cocktails were on point food was great. I even grabbed an extra dessert for midnight munchies.. can't wait to try the rest of the appetizers and dessert. read more

On a Thursday night, six of us went to dinner at Point 57. We have a reservation at 5:30 PM but we (2 out of six) got delayed by beach traffic returning from Fort Myers Beach. The ambiance here is casual and not formal just like many local restaurants here. Point 57 is known for its cocktails, seafood, steaks and new American fare. We were sit at a very nice corner table! I ordered a Seafood Risotto and wife ordered Chicken Carbonara. Other members of party ordered crab cakes, Beef Stroganoff, Caesar Salad, Fried Calamari, Shrimps and Grits, Crusted Grouper over shrimp Risotto. The presentations were fine and well plated. My Seafood Risotto was well prepared and delectable. Chicken Carbonara's pasta was cooked with perfection but the chicken was overcooked and dry! My friend did not like his beef Stroganoff. His main complaint was not enough sour cream and the beef was tough and not tender! Grouper over Shrimp Risotto was great. Overall it was good with a little improvement needed for Beef Stroganoff and Chicken Carbonara. The waitress was sharp, professional and attentive. Wine, beer and water glasses are filled very quickly. We did not try their signature cocktails but mainly on beer and wine! read more

Dinner with Yelp friends and -- fun fact (considering this is SW Florida)-- three of us attended Brooklyn College! I know, I know, what does that have to do with the restaurant?! Getting down to business, our evening was a 4+ star experience in every which way: great food, lovely ambience (neither casual nor particularly formal) and a friendly & efficient server. Vacillating about salmon (which I was told is sushi grade) and my old stand-by: calamari-topped-Caesar-salad. I went with the salad. The Caesar was okay --- didn't look nearly as good as my husband's house salad -- but the piece de resistance was calamari. Rings, tentacles, accents of pepper (jalapeno?) fried just right. With T also digging in, there was STILL plenty of squid for me to take home. I noticed that everyone's meal was nicely plated. I tried T's grits, which I thought were nothing special. "You didn't get any of the sauce!" he said, defending his choice of shrimp and grits, which he really liked. While I snapped photos of everyone's meals, you can read their assessments, which I'm guessing are all positive. In summation, Point 57 gets two thumbs up. There are options in every food group, prices aren't bad and the wine list covers all bases. I deviated from my usual hearty red and went with the house pinot grigio which at $28 was perfectly good. Easy parking too, with a lot in the back. read more

The menu has something for everyone. My husband loves the shrimp & grits...I think it's the best Chicken Cobb Salad in town. Service is always good. Take a sweater, it's on the cooler side. This time we had a high top table as they were preparing for a party in the dining room....and the bartender was sharing his vacation details with the hostess (and everyone else in between) who was at her front station. It made it difficult for us to have a work conversation, but I definitely would not hold it against him. A little surprised as we kept turning around to look at him like hello and he just kept going and even maybe go louder. ....its not normally like that. The Happy Hour is usually packed so check them out! read more

My husband had the P57 salmon, which was a grilled 6 ounce fillet salmon, grilled shrimp, crab meat, smoked Gouda potato cake, sautéed mixed vegetables with a bearnaise. I had the marinated double cut grilled lamb chops with Caprese risotto, asparagus tips, and mint chimichurri. Both was extremely good, service was good, the food is delicious. Noice level is a bit high, but I would eat the lamb here every evening, regardless of the noice level, because it was that good. read more

Christmas Eve in Cape Coral. Opted for this local treasure. It is a very nice hometown kind of place that prided itself on cooking with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. I had a superb braised short rib on a mushroom truffle risotto. The short rib was clearly not a short rib ( I suspect a nice size serving of chuck, well trimmed and perfect cooked) because of its leanness and size. Whatever it was it was delicious. The risotto was perfectly timed and delicious as well. I chose the Billionaires Bacon as a starter. It was great and a very generous portion. Service (Katherine) was excellent. read more

Last night we met for dinner with two other couples. Four of us are Yelpers lol! This is my second time at this lovely restaurant. Last time for brunch and now for dinner. We had a cozy well appointed table in the corner of the restaurant. Dave and I usually prefer outside seating which this restaurant has. We met at 5:30 before the large crowd arrived. Dave ordered the crab cake appetizer and he thought they were ok. I thought they were artfully decorated with a mayonnaise remolade and were good. We ordered dinner and I listened to our server who recommended the Garlic and Parmesan Crusted Grouper over shrimp Risotto which was out of this world! Dave had the Beef Stroganoff and although it was good he was disappointed that there wasn't more sour cream in the sauce and the meat wasn't tender. We spent a very relaxing time eating, drinking wine, beer and black coffee for me. By the time I looked up, the place was jammed! What a great evening! read more

Just visiting but used Yelp to find this place. All the positive reviews are on "point" HA!! Easy to find. Had to park in the sandy lot but no problem. Arrived around 5:30 and sat right at the bar. Noticed 2 tables had just emptied. Bartender was right there for drinks and menus. Lots of interesting food. Ribeye was cooked perfectly very rare. Lobster was sweet and tasty. Sides were good and generous. Cream brûlée was fantastic!! Service outstanding throughout the night. You gotta go!! read more

our first time at @point57restaurant last night was a success! It was a busy Friday evening but our server, Jacky, was fantastic! Really great hospitality and efficient service the entire meal. we enjoyed their Crispy Calamari appetizer. I LOVED their house salad with pickled onions, blue cheese crumbles and a white balsamic vinegarette - super unique and flavorful our entrees were delicious, I tried their P57 Salmon (6oz) + blackened shrimp + crab meat served alongside with a Gouda potato cake (MMM) and mixed vegetables. I added on a grilled scallop skewer (perfectly cooked) my only regret is I couldn't eat every bite - so much food! hubby enjoyed some flavorful gumbo with blackened scallops and shrimp over fluffy white rice We finished up our meal with a slice (a BIG slice) of key lime pie - sweet and balanced and a delicious Graham cracker crust. read more

Another stellar recommendation from a friend. Went her for dinner when my Dad was in town. We all enjoyed an absolute excellent meal. Even with an early reservation so a Friday night, it was not busy. We ate indoors as the outdoor seating is in the parking lot by the busy street. Ambiance was great. I had the lobster, jumbo scallop and shrimps a top cheddar Mac and cheese cavatappi- generous portions. Dad had the fried chicken Cobb salad which he said was delish and hubby has the shrimp scampi over linguine noodles and said it was great! For dessert Dad had the key lime pie which he said was great and home made- not touristy. I had the phenomenal bread budding served with bananas and vanilla ice cream. It was huge and I ended up taking half home to enjoy the next day, minus the ice cream scoop of course. Great , friendly service and fantastic food- great place to celebrate an occasion or bring outta town guests to enjoy a quality meal. read more

We decided to get a reservation on a Friday night and a good thing too because the place was packed. And if you're looking for a quiet dinner, this is not the place. The cherry all sour was delicious and not too sour despite the name. The crab cakes were good but watch out for the Caribbean shrimp with its Serrano aoli! I was craving fried chicken so I had the southern fried chicken which wasn't what I expected but delicious all the same. He enjoyed the chicken carbonara. read more

First time Reservations for a group of us. Service started out decently then declined rapidly. We asked for appetizers to come before salads that didn't happen. No silverware on table. Calamari was so bad. It was all broken up in pieces was and very crumbly. The Ribeye steak you might as well have went to Walmart and bought one there. Definitely not worth the price. Bread was soggy supposed to be crunchy. Pasta .... Meh. Then checks got messed up. Leftovers discarded. Definitely not a good first impression! For the prices you pay to "enjoy" dinner and lack there of great service we will not be returning ! As far as Management you definitely need to read these comments and step up your hospitality game or you'll be going out of business like Misto's. This is constructive criticism and needs to be addressed. You need to do better to your paying patrons Point 57! Definitely needs better quality management/food /service/pricing bc we will not lower our standards. Do Better ! read more

We had a group of 13 neighbors on Thursday a busy night. The service was excellent. Courtney was our waitress and she was exceptionally attentive and helpful.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and everything was perfect and set for our group! read more

I'm not sure how this place gets any review under 4 stars. This was by far my favorite dinner while on vacation in Cape Coral. First off, the service was TOP NOTCH. I wish I could remember her name but she was amazing. I started off with the smokin coconut margarita... without the smoke and there was plenty of 1800 coconut it in. For appetizers, we had calamari and stuff mushrooms. Both - zero complaints. Dinner - I split the shrimp scampi. It was so fresh and tasty. Others had the fried seafood (great), Ribeye (great), filet mignon (great), and salmon Caesar salad (also great). We had to sit in the bar area because there were 6 of us. We were seated almost immediately. The bar area offers happy hour special from 3-6pm read more

I wanted to give some feedback from last night. I am someone who often sends positive feedback as I know the restaurant industry is very hard work. My husband and I are from out of town. We had a reservation for two at your place for 6:30pm. We arrived on time. People were being seated without a reservation right ahead of us. We had a reservation for two at a table, not a booth. A booth is uncomfortable for me. The girl at the hostess stand said they did not have a table for two for us. Did we want to eat outside? We said no as the outside was clearly NOT setup and cleaned up for outside dining. No one was on the patio- not a salt and pepper shaker- nothing. She said: well, can you sit at a booth. I said no, I asked for a table as a booth is not comfortable for me. She just stared at me. Then a hostess came over and the girl was whispering to her. I kindly shared our situation with the hostess. She said would you want a high top. I said no that I am short and a high top is not comfortable for me. She also proceeded to ask us again if we wanted to eat outside. Again, I nicely declined. They seated walkins ahead of us and we had a reservation. Also, when we arrived at the restaurant/ there were 3 employees out back smoking/ right as we were walking in, not discretely on the side like you might see at restaurants. It was a bad look- a less than pleasant entrance. We walked in the sidewalk to get to the front door and there was a portable ashtray right at the entrance to the outdoor patio with smoke from a lit cigarette billowing from it. Why did we not want to eat dinner on the patio? That was the patio environment, but it was still ok for the staff to offer it to us as an option. I am sharing this as there seems to be a need for some training, protocols for handling reservations, etc. read more

I visited this restaurant over the course several years. When it was brand new it outstanding. Great entertaining bartender who made some great craft cocktails. The food was great as well. Since Covid it appears that it may have changed hands and has gone down hill. I had the strip steak which was cooked perfectly medium rare but I found to be rather chewy and lacked flavor. Companion had the crusted grouper and risotto. Again the portion size versus price was out of line. We were there and our server who was great told us the kitchen wouldn't release its specials till 5:00PM. I never heard at 4:30 and you're purchasing dinner they won't disclose the specials? The restaurant was clean with low noise and appeared to be at only 50 percent capacity at 5:30 during what is the high snowbird season. read more

Crazy loud outside right at the Parkway so look for a spot inside. Appetizer was ok but the rest pretty mid. Steak came and I was missing a knife. Took 2-3 minutes for someone to check on me until I had to get up and ask myself. Would not go back! read more

When I first made the reservation I had put it was my father's birthday and did NOTHING for him. Also, server lacked service. Never refilled our waters or soft drinks the whole time and they were out of CO2. Mind you we had appetizers, and we did a full 3 course meal so we couldn't drink anything with carbonation which isn't servers fault but never suggested anything else or brought us any water. They were out of the beer my father had, but never suggested anything else either. She kept apologizing on how long we had to wait for things. The host brought us over a dessert menu when we already ordered dessert which our server apparently forgot about. Food was good but over seasoned, very salty. We left very thirsty and tired. Not sure if we will come back, even though we do come here often. read more
