    Terrific food. Easily one of the top on the island. Fish specials are always good, as is the lobster ravioli that comes with some. Traders is one of the few consistently good ones here.

    My favorite dinner restaurant on Sanibel Island. Everything on the menu is fantastic! And it has the best gift shop

    Traders Store and Cafe is one of the best eateries on Sanibel. Lunch and dinner is wonderful here. Eat in the bar area for a fun experience.

    This is our "favorite" restaurant on Sanibel. We eat there at least once a week. Great food and great service and then there's Leslie our greatest server. Going tonight, see you there.

    Great place for family dinner. If the Shellfish Pasta is one of the daily specials, order it. Amazing. !

    Grilled portabello and lobster ravioli isdelicious!! 3-6 happy hour and smaller portions make for perfect dinner and drink!

    Shrimp and crab cocktail delish! But it is a huge portion

    In general, overpriced for the quality of the food. Oysters were good, as were the PEI Mussels. Scallops with Lobster Ravioli (pictured) was fine; Sea Bass was fishy and very disappointing.

    Trader's has a great happy hour, fom 4-6 pm, with discounted appetizers and drinks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays island troubador Danny Morgan heats up the bar with live music til the wee hours.

    Some of the best fish entrees I've had anywhere, ever. Horseradish encrusted salmon and triple tail, we shared, and couldn't decide which was better.

    Ask for Parmesan cheese to drizzle on fresh bread after a dip of spiced olive oil

    Specials are always good. Gumbo is top notch. Ahi tuna is personal fav.

    Ethan W. (who said this place wasn't very good) obviously has a stocked stuck up his ass. Food (and ambience) here is fantastic.

    Blue crabcakes were okay. Do not order the lamb. Looked like it was done in a vrockpot. No seasoning. Well done. Tasted like unseasoned roast beef. Very disappointed.
