Bayfront Bistro

Wow!!!! Stopped in on a whim and just to have a beer and rnjoy the view......well I got a heck of a relaxing view from the outdoor second level seating!!! Then, the drink was absolutely perfect, the beer was cold, the appetizer was delicious! But being that it was my birthday, I got that bread pudding thingy.....chocolately goodness! Heaven in my mouth!!! The service was on par! The food was quick and the place is absolutely awesome in the decor! Definite 5 star and will soon be returning!!!

The downstairs Marina-side Bayfront Bistro is our favorite casual restaurant in South Fort Myers Beach, FL. They have the very best blackened, grilled grouper sandwich ($24 with fries and a spicy aioli sauce served on the side). BUT they only serve it until 3:00 PM. After that you can order a fried grouper sandwich but it’s nowhere near as good as the blackened, grilled sandwich. There are many grouper sandwiches sold here but this is the biggest, juiciest and most flavorful of all the restaurants we’ve tried. The restaurant upstairs is nice but expensive but the downstairs bar/restaurant is much more casual and fun. They have a great menu and selection of craft beers and tropical drinks. The boats on the intercostal and in the Marina add great visual interest. Everyone is very friendly and the vibe is classic south Florida beachy. I highly recommend you try it!

We sat at the bar. We had 2 house salads that were excellent size and taste good. Came with bread and some kind of oil dip, very good. We also had the Asian calamari and coconut shrimp. The calamari was spicy and very good, large enough for a meal. I highly recommend it. Coconut shrimp was good. I also ordered the clam chowder...I sent it back....it did not taste like clam chowder..no noticeable clams, taste more like herb chowder with potatoes. Also not a fan of the female manager cleaning the shelves and spraying window cleaner by us while eating. Nice looking place inside except for the cheap plastic place mats.

Stopped in from a boat ride while heading to lovers key. Getting a spot to dock was complicated and would have been nice if the marina staff came out to assist, but the drink I ordered, key lime colada with a floater, and the crab cakes were good. Definitely would come back.
