I can't say the service is bad and I can't say the service is unfriendly, but I can say without a doubt they are not warm there. There was the time when I love this place and paid the premium to come here, but today is the straw that broke the camels back. Also, the café has a new policy where you can't order and sit inside. You have to use a waitress for everything now so if you want a quick transaction. This is not the place.

I wanted to try the sizzle menu before it went away so I stopped in and enjoyed a delicious meal. I started off with the Brussels sprouts. I'm still kinda new to liking them but the sauce and nuts on them too were really tasty! For my entee I had the hot sausage rigatoni and it was so good, I ate every bite! And for dessert I tried crème brûlée for the first time ever. Boy have k been missing out. I could have licked that plate clean haha. I also tried the she's a fairy which is an espresso martini but with ube and it was so good. They layer the top with this foam which is kinda marshmellowy and so good.

We saved Wickies Lighthouse Restaurant for our final dinner of a weeklong trip to Sanibel Island,…read moreand it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire vacation. Every seat in the restaurant was filled, which tells you everything you need to know. Make a reservation because this place is incredibly popular. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Our server was warm, attentive, and somehow managed to provide exceptional service despite the restaurant being completely packed. The entire staff made our last night on the island feel special. We forgot to take photos of the appetizers, but trust me, don't skip them. The fried green tomatoes were the unanimous favorite at our table and an absolute must-order. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also ordered the conch fritters, which our family always seeks out whenever we're in Florida, and these were honestly some of the best we've ever had. The crab cakes were delicious as well, but the fried green tomatoes and conch fritters definitely stole the show. For my entrée, I ordered the Quinoa Steak Salad, and I was shocked by the size. The portion is enormous and could easily be shared by two people, or even serve as a family-style salad for three or four. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the combination of quinoa, avocado, fresh vegetables, and cheese made it both hearty and refreshing. Several people at our table ordered the evening special, the blackened snapper over mushroom risotto, and it was phenomenal. The snapper was perfectly cooked, flaky, and full of flavor, while the creamy mushroom risotto complemented it beautifully. It was easily one of the standout dishes of the evening. The honey glazed salmon was another favorite at our table. The braised short ribs were rich, tender, and beautifully presented. One person in our group ordered the stuffed lobster and thoroughly enjoyed it, mentioning both the flavor and the generous portion size. The fish tacos were good, but with so many exceptional dishes on the table, they simply weren't the standout. Between the exceptional food, generous portions, outstanding service, and lively atmosphere, this was the perfect way to end our week on Sanibel Island. It's easy to see why every table was full. If you're visiting Sanibel, make reservations in advance. This restaurant is popular for a reason, and after dining here, we completely understand why. Five stars. We can't wait to come back.

Overall, I would give this restaurant 0 stars if that were possible…read more **Food:** Mine: 4 stars | My wife's: 1 star **Ambience:** 2 stars **Service:** Waiter: 4 stars | Manager/owner: 0 stars We went for an early dinner around 6:00 p.m. and chose one of the prix-fixe menu options, which included an appetizer, entrée, dessert, and a bottle of wine described as the "Chef's Selection." We asked if we could taste the wine first. We didn't particularly like it, but the waiter explained that the bottle had already been opened, so we accepted it. My meal was actually quite good: smoked salmon, coq au vin, and crêpes with fruit. Unfortunately, my wife's entrée -- steak with fries -- was very disappointing. The meat arrived barely warm, was very greasy, and was even difficult to cut. We called the waiter over, and she brought the owner's brother to our table. When my wife explained the problem with her meal, his reaction was unbelievable. Instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue, he became loud and confrontational. He told my wife that she was "difficult," insisted that the meat was great, and aggressively asked what she wanted -- while also telling her that she would not be getting any more meat. I was speechless. My wife was so intimidated by his behavior that she simply said she didn't want anything else. I finished my meal, and when the check arrived, I noticed that my wife had been charged the full price for her entire meal. I objected and tried to discuss it with him. At that point, it was no longer about the money. I even suggested paying in full for my meal and paying for the portions of my wife's meal that she had actually eaten. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of having a calm, rational conversation. He became increasingly emotional and continued shouting. I had to remind him several times that I would not accept him speaking to my wife in such an inappropriate and disrespectful manner. During his rant, he threatened to call the police if I did not pay the entire bill. Given everything that had happened, I was not willing to simply pay the full amount as though nothing had occurred. So he actually called the police. After the officers spoke with both sides and understood what had happened, I accepted the suggested resolution and paid only for my own meal. We dine out almost every night, and in all those years, we have never experienced anything remotely like this. A disappointing steak can happen in any restaurant. What made this experience unacceptable was the way a legitimate complaint was handled: with aggression, intimidation, and complete disrespect toward a guest. One final sidenote: after everything that happened, we looked up the bottle of wine that had been presented as the restaurant's "Chef's Selection." We found the same bottle listed at a local retailer for $5.99. I have eaten in many French restaurants in both the United States and Europe, and I have always associated and experienced French cuisine not only with great food, but also with a proud tradition of hospitality and professionalism. The behavior we experienced here felt like an insult to that great culinary culture. For a French restaurant, that was a rather fitting final surprise to an unforgettable evening -- unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons.

Don't panic about parking as their free valet will park for you, and they even tell you they don't expect a tip (of course we tipped though). We have food allergies in our family--turmeric, tree nuts and shellfish. They use non-transfer oil, but most choose not to take the chance since shellfish and other items are fried together. The food is delicious! Our table had chicken salad stuffed tomatoes (no nuts in the chicken salad), the fried clam platter, the turkey club and chicken tender platters. Every person in our party of five loved their food. We were treated to a GORGEOUS sunset as well! Our server was amazing! She was kind and funny and made us enjoy even more. We loved it so much that we had to all get a shirt! The only thing that may keep you from dining is their cash only policy....BUT....they make that abundantly clear before you even go in to eat, so I personally have no issue with that. If you need to get cash, they do have atms available.

Sometime in the past, the owner of this place was very Chicago-centric; thus, the decor was Chicago-themed. I ordered their fantastic conch chowder and a fish sandwich. They will cook the fish any way you want it. I had mine grilled. The fish was fresh, moist, and very good. Of note, this is a cash-only place. With a group of nine, I hit their ATM pretty hard. Nice of them to have the ATM on site; otherwise, we would have had to leave.
