Wonderful greeting when we came through the doors, We were hugged and seated. It was our second meal there that day. They opened for dinners for the first time and it was great. We had a wonderful lunch and dinner was awesome and we sat outside and enjoyed the evening with wine , good company and sharing our food so we could try as many items as we could. We are going back saturday night and bringing more friends with us. Try out any meal and you should be happy with food and service, It;s our new favorite place

elegantmachine wrote about Nirvana

I came here initially within the first month of business. I was greeted by cheerful staff, and noted how clean and orderly the restaurant was. I could hardly believe that Nirvana had only been open a few weeks. The food was delicious. Even things like the pakoras (tempura veggies) and some indian spice added and were delicious, especially with the added house made chutneys. I was very satisfied with everything I ordered, and was even more pleased when the chef came out of the kitchen to recommend his favorite vegetarian dish to myself and a friend. I have been back several times since my initial visit and will continue to eat at Nirvana. Nirvana has something for everyone, and a knowledgeable staff who can guide the novice diner through the authentic South Indian (fusion) menu. :)

ProLar wrote about Skyline Chili

STAY FAR AWAY...... BY FAR THE WORST I'VE EVER HAD!!!! If you Like Brown Water with a couple of beans in it and the taste of Curry, you will love this place. Im not kidding about the couple of beans.... ok to be fair there were possibly 3 very small beans in this brown water broth. I also ordered a Cheese Coney I should have taken the whole thing back when I saw what I got. ( I placed it as a to go order) I'm not kidding, it was a cocktail weenie on a very small bun, that was soggy, and there was more cheese than anything else on it. All this can be yours for only $8.40 plus tax. It was so bad I went straight to Wendy's and got a Large Chilli for $2.19 plus tax, exact same size as Skylines... 16oz. I only wish this site accepted photo's so you could see for yourself how bad it was.... I took photo's of Wendy's chili side by side with Skyline's. Not that Wendy's is even all that great but next to Skyline's it gets a Blue Ribbon. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE SKYLINE CHILI IN FORT MYERS, I HOPE THEY AREN'T ALL THIS BAD!!!!!! But then again I might not ever know because I'll never try this place again.

robertscamp wrote about Smitty's Bar and Grub

***** I go to Smitty's all the time. I am retired, live close by and enjoy going in there 3 to 4 times a day for a cool one dollar beer. From the owner Katie and her staff to the patrons who go in there, this is a real bar with real people. And I mean real. No snootiness or pretentiousness at Smitty's. Nice down to earth real people with real lives, friendly attitudes and a nice hello for newcomers. For a neighborhood bar, Smitty's is as close to being "Cheers" as any bar can get. The food is great and the service is always friendly and responsive. At Smitty's the F word isused a lot but is not used as a bad word. It is used as an adjective. We love you Smitty's. Live long and prosper well. robert-scamp

jemwolfe wrote about Nirvana Indian Fusion Cuisine

I was sorry to read that someone actually had a bad experience at this restuarant, because our experience was great overall. We arrived for dinner, not lunch, and there was no buffet. We were seated quickly and treated with courtesy. Anything that was unfamiliiar on the menu was graciously explained to us. And our food was Fantastic...no complaints on any level. I have recommended this place to everyone I know.

aliceportland wrote about Nirvana Indian Fusion Cuisine

This was one of those times that I was willing to give a place a try really without any body telling me to do so. Myself and some friends were driving by nirvana's Indian Fusion just talking about how ther are no real good plases to go and eat anymore on College. when out of the blue there in big bold letters Nirvana Indian fusion Cuisine. So as we're walking up to the front door we noticed that there was a young asian lady outside sitting on bench smoking now I don't smoke but I'm not one of those people who can understand that if your shift is over well you know the old saying smoke them if you got them. so we walk in and we see this other lady and she introduced herself and then she sat us. Don't sound to bad does it? Well just wait this is where it gets worse so we're sitting ther and we notice the blond lady poke her head outside and tell the girl thats sitting outside that she has a table. Now this is where this just gets better. we are the only table in there at the time and then the lady who was just outside smoking dosn't go wash her hands no she comes over to the table. And let me tell you she smelled as bad as wet dog. She then with a quick tone told us that there was only a little while left for the buffet. So we gave her our drink order. and got up for the food. now I've had some experiences at buffet style restruants. And like I said I was willing to give it a try still even if the service is not that good. So we go up to the line and start to get some of the food.And by the way one of my friend that I'm with is from India and he and his wife are both looking like the there is much that they a impressed with so we get the beef curry and some thing that looked as if it use to be vegis of some kind and these little breaded items called pakos or something like that. Anyway they were almost all gone and My friend from India told his wife and she told the waitress well with same look of we where bothering her go's back to the kitchen and being that there was no one else in the place and by now I can see why. When all of a sudden we are able to see and hear the cook say that don't we know that it is almost closeing time and we should know better . Well I can tell you " I WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!" The lady who was cooking actualy came to the doorway and gave us a onceover and the went back. well we got more of those breaded things and they tasted as if they where greasey dough ball fried and the beef curry tasted like nothing that I've never eaten before and never want to eat ever again because it looked just like dog food and tasted like it to . my friends and myself well never go back and advice anyone else to do the same. just looks like a real bad idea come to life

Manya wrote about The Olde Fish House Marina

I have grown up in this area & it's a relief to go to a place like Olde Fish House Marina to come back to what is "real" Florida living to me. The seafood market has wonderful fish, shrimp & crabs during season. The food at the takeout window was very tasty & hot. There is a signature "pink sauce" that rocks. The staff was friendly and fun. There is a great funky open air seating area to relax & watch the boats & people. It is one of my favorite places to go. On some weekends there is even live music- Big Fun. Come by boat or car- well worth the trip.

The Horseshoe to be exact (unbelievable best cheeseburger I ever had by far) I was there for 3 hours and only was gonna stay for a beer. While I was in there I actually believed they were rehersing for the Maury show!!! But come to find out it was just real up close live and entertaining... Thanks Sue for the great service we will be back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went in on a Thursday evening. Place was somewhat crowded. Went to bar and ordered a mixed drink. Bartender said they only serve beer and wine. We left.

cpaefolks wrote about Cena Casual Dining

Just what the Cape needed! We are so sick of all the "chains" and bar type places. Cena is tastefully decorated and has to be the cleanest place we have ever been to. The food is simply out of this world! Portions are huge and very, very affordable. LOVE this place! Can't believe they have been here since March and we just now found them. We had heard many people talk about them, but shame on us for wating so long to go in. Glad we did!

todd1059 wrote about Great Licks Ice Cream Shop

We stopped for a quick ice cream treat while vacationing in Bokeelia. The atmosphere is very laid back and inviting. The owner is exceptionally friendly and great to stand around talking to while you enjoy the best ice cream available, anywhere. Portions are huge for the price. Flavors are out of this world, especially the toasted coconut and key lime. We ended up going for ice cream every day of our vacation and are already looking forward to a scoop when we go back this winter.

w_burns wrote about Stuff-A-Bagel

Our family has been frequenting the Stuff-A-Bagel for many years now. The food is excellent, the prices are very reasonable, and the staff is very nice. Many of our northern friends that 'snowbird' in our area yearly have found this secret. During our bust winter season, it is very hard to find a parking space, but it is definately worth the wait. I recommend the ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel, best in the south! Fresh bagels, fresh rolls, hot coffee and much more.

jeffkreiger wrote about Hoosier Charlie's Bar and Grill

Ordered the fried pork tenderloin and chicken livers. The tenderloin wasn't too bad if only the breading would have stayed on and it didn't arrive in a puddle of grease. The chicken livers had an even more difficult time keeping the breading on and they were over cooked and dry. The potato salad was hard. Never had hard potato salad (the potato didn't crunch but it was close). The macaroni salad was non-descript and runny. The atmosphere was early orange crate. Not a lot going for it.

phildelucky wrote about Café Italia Bistro

We were planning to go to Naples Tomato but there was a 40 minute wait. So we went next door to Cafe Italia. What a wonderful surprise. Our waitress Barbara said the lasagna was as good as Naples Tomato. Well she was right. Adriano came over and introduced himself and we had a chance to order from a very extensive menu. The food was excellent and the prices very fair. Plus we were entertained by Bocelli on a DVD. My wife had the Fettucine Bolognese. Rich meat sauce that was perfect and very plentiful. We had enough to take home for another dinner the next night. In the Naples area too many restaurants try to 'rip you off' during the season. If Cafe Italia stays true to its calling we will have a new favorite to go to. by the way: fantastic desserts and yes they are all (but one) home made on premises., A little pastry chef comes in at midnight and works all night to produce superb pastries. Buona gusto.

WorkingMomof2 wrote about Smitty's Bar and Grub

Smitty's is a hole in the wall bar with decient food as long as you don't mind the people at the next table smoking while you're eating! The only sell beer, not liquor, thier food with the exception of breakfast is way over priced! The regular clientel are a bunch of jobless, skuzball, drunks that hang out there from 7am till close drinking dollar drafts! The owner & employees have no problem allowing there patrons to leave there establishment stumbling drunk to then drive home! They illeagely gamble on Texas Hold'em poker. They should be shut down or gotton under control in my opinion!
