Food & Drinks
Excellent food if you're looking for a romantic place to have dinner. A little pricey but worth it! I’d recommend making a reservation to ensure you get a table because it’s very popular during season. The bar is beautiful here and there’s a man playing piano on some nights. Bring cash for valet tip!

Best Breakfast in town! Stop serving at 11. Not open on Monday’s. Lunch is amazing too! Kids will enjoy feeding the tortoise. Also has a small market with produce and premade meals- Chicken salad, hummingbird cake, and eggplant parm are some of my favorites!

Trendy yet unique place to have dinner. Food is great. My husband loves the tomahawk steak & I’m a fan of the osso bucco. Afterwards, go up to the rooftop bar for a cocktail or head up there earlier for happy hour to enjoy the sunset over the river! There are 4 floors, restaurant is on first two floors and a martini bar on 3rd, Skybar on 4th. (There is a DJ and bottle service available on rooftop skybar.)

The first thing you will notice when you walk into this place is the aroma of fresh citrus. Great little gift shop. They have a wonderful selection of fresh florida squeezed juices as well as citrus fruits. The strawberry orange juice is my personal favorite but it’s a little on the sweeter side. They do have samples so you can decide for yourself. Also have fresh smoothies, soft serve, and amazing pastries/ treats at the front counter. A good place to stop on the way to or from Lakes park or Sanibel!
