    Started off with great cocktails. Then onto a salad to share and then a margherita pizza. One of our favorite spots in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful and once your order is placed you never wait long for your food. High recommend. Kirby

    We had reservations to sit at the bar which worked out great. The bartender Nicole was very attentive and willing to do whatever was needed to make all patrons happy. It was only her second night on the job so she has some product learning to do, but she made up for that with her personality and willing to learn.

    We had a really good time at San Mateo's on Saturday night. The service was prompt and attentive. Our wait staff was very pleasant and upbeat. The food was well prepared and attractively presented. We enjoyed our experience at San Mateo and will definitely return.

    San Matteo has a lot going for it. The restaurant itself is very nice and the tables are spaced appropriately. The food was excellent - creative, delicious and well plated. I felt that the food and beverages were reasonable priced. I intend to return, which is the highest endorsement any diner can give.

    We have found a new gem in the Fort Myers area. The food was incredible. Cido, our server was so attentive and made us feel special. Ambiance was very nice. Very good restaurant that can compete with the best of them. We will come back often.

    Nice atmosphere - we ate inside due to a cold snap that hit our area; the food was very good; prepared exactly as described on the menu. Bartender was new but appeared to be experienced but had some difficulty making our drinks. He did make a rather unique drink that was absolutely correct but the Gimlet left a little to be desired. Desserts were excellent especially the Tiramasu and the Pear tart.
