Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Sanibel

Our server Josalyn , only 18 and a criminal justice major in junior college, is soo personable and friendly but so efficient and timely with our drinks and courses that it just made our 38th anniversary dinner a wonderful experience to remember! And I cannot thank our hostess enough who arranged a special table indoors for us on literally 2 hours’ notice, when I realized we had driven almost 400 miles the day before,planning to celebrate at Connors and I had thought I had made the reservation but had not! Everyone else treated us royally as well. This is one place where “same old, same old….” Is a GOOD thing, like each time in the past. We now plan to dine at Connors at least once every time we come near Sanibel or Ft Myers. Last year in December, even drove down from Clearwater for the day

We sat outside - location was not ideal as it was next to kitchen entrance. It kind of felt like we were stuck in a corner for bad behavior. Next time will request a better location. Server (I don’t think he gave us his name ) was excellent. Food was great - would love the recipe for chicken tortilla soup. Happy New Year!

Sat near the kitchen. Felt like I was watching The Bear! The kitchen staff was amazing. Organized, efficient, team focused and great attitudes. Kudos to the team. Our waitress was awesome, too! Pleasant, knowledgeable, witty and helpful. Even took photos for us for my husbands bday. And she was busy too! Dinner was awesome we all loved our apps and meals! Always great at the Hawk!

Our dinner was excellent. We sat at the bar and enjoyed salads, steak & drinks. Service was on point and atmosphere beautiful! A gem!

Trulucks never disappoints! Beautiful flower arrangements for Christmas. Server Joshua attentive with great command of the menu. Multiple managers stop by to check in. Four of us enjoyed oysters and bread to start. Then bronzino, lamb chops, rib eye with sides of steamed spinach, lyonnaise potatoes and crab fried rice. Finished with a half piece each of Keylime pie and carrot cake. Excellent dinner in a wonderful environment!!!! Highly recommend this awesome restaurant.
