I expected more of a fine dining experience from this Restaurant. It seemed like they were trying but just nothing exciting about it. Food was okay not great. I would suggest revamping food and beverage menus. They had no espresso which you can find at any steakhouse.

EXCELLENT as always! We had not been back since Hurricane Ian as we didn't realize it had been reopened. We were welcomed back as if we were family. Information is incorrect that Courtside is only open Friday-Saturday. They are open Wednesday-Saturday. There is a new chef, who although didn't quite get our steaks cooked as we wanted the first time, quickly corrected the issue and then came out to meet with us to ensure they were correct. It's ok to make an error, it is how you remedy the issue that counts. There were 5 of us at the table. All were pleased with their dinners. According to my friend, the Seabass was melt in your mouth delicious as were our steaks. The shrimp cocktail had humongous shrimp that were very tender. We will definitely be back. This is our favorite steak restaurant.

I have eaten at the Courtside for years and always more than willing to refer friends. Although a bit expensive service was always great, food was prepared and quality was impeccable. It was a wonderful experience. Not this time and I not only hesitate to refer friends, but not certain I will return. Service was terrible- VERY long waits when it wasn’t busy. My lamb was good and mushroom sides and asparagus were good but fingerling potatoes too well done, almost burnt. My 2 friends had the scallops and although flavorful they were cold. We reported this to the Maitre D but he was not really responsive. The waiter did offer to provide dessert although we declined but never even offered to provide a container for much of the sides- just removed them. I hope this will be addressed as I have always enjoyed going to the Courtside as a special occasion.

The Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa said we needed reservations to dine at this restaurant. We made our reservation and when we arrived at the restaurant there was only a couple seated at the bar and a single man at a dinner table. Perhaps the idea of needing a reservation before eating at this restaurant puts potential guests off.

Salad fantastic! Unfortunately, main entree of a $48 filet was ordered medium well, and was served medium rare! Waiter did not return to table after food delivered, finally bus boy noticed the untouched plate, after tablemates were nearly finished with their meal, and came to ask if there was an issue. He took back entree, and not only did it take so long to come back that the other guest at the table ordered dessert, but it came back a second time medium rare! Also, couldn't eat the au gratin potatoes because full of oil/grease and coagulated cheese upon delivery to table. The only conciliation???? A free piece of key lime pie. So disappointing for this Titanium Marriott member who relies on the usual quality and service we regularly receive from any Marriott property and restaurant we go to.

One of the best steaks in SWFL. Courtside is operating on a shortened schedule … Friday and Saturday evening as they are in the Sanibel Marriott complex. Despite that, we highly recommend this fine dining experience. Support local businesses severely impacted by Ian!

The quality of the food is even better than the last time we dined here a few years ago and it was very enjoyable then. The menu has also seen improvements, featuring a few modern favorites. Restaurant was well staffed and service was great, The dining room was less than half full but this restaurant is quite tucked away on the Marriott property and maybe in keeping with an off-season weekend, but I hope the hotel’s guests can keep this going during the off-season. All around great value for money.

Service wasn’t very attentive (we had to pour our own wine), and the mashed potatoes arrived cold (the server provided a replacement but it was half way through our meal before it arrived) - for a restaurant at this price point, we feel the quality of food & service should have been better, no offer was made to compensate us for the error, which was disappointing.

The ribeye was excellent, as usual. Cooked perfectly and sliced as requested. Service was excellent... then the chef was brought out and introduced. He was explaining how he cooks the steaks to perfection for the various request at our table, from Pittsburgh rare to medium rare for another couple. Another delicious and excellent dinner!! AND excellent service although the restaurant was busy...

We were seated and waited about 15 to 20 minutes before someone came to table. Then waited another 15 minutes for water and for someone to take our drink order. They are obviously under staffed. Service was very poor. I actually asked for water several times and was basically ignored by one of the staff. Food was good once served. Will go to another steak house in the future.

Food was good for the price, but service was somewhat disappointing. We request bread service to be brought twice, the starter plate was brought out without serving plates. We had to request them. I brought my husband for his Birthday and we felt that we had to request for everything, nothing flowed uneventful thru our dinner. The place was not full and I felt the waiter and the other service staff rushed and unattentive.
