    Leaving tip #2...the waitress staff on Sunday (and maybe other nights) is the B list. Food is excellent though. Lobster bisque, mahi mahi, and ahi appetizer are all outstanding!

    I happen to have eaten here for lunch and dinner and haven't ever had a meal I did not adore! The views are the best on Sanibel just arrive before sunset because the windows become mirrored! ;-))

    Charming atmosphere, innovative cuisine and a staff willing to please. Order a seafood dish and you will want to move to Florida.

    Great view! Not many restaurants on Sanibel with a Gulf view.

    For the best views from the inside dining room, ask to sit in the rotunda on the left as you walk to the back of the restaurant.

    Sesame-crusted tuna may have been the best I've ever had... not sure, because I was drunk with happiness.

    "fancy" food for old people. good if you don't have very high expectations. Fine dining in atmosphere, not in the plates.
