We had reservations at 7:30 pm for our Anniversary. The entire evening was great from the time we walked in. Seated per my request at a romantic table in a quiet area. Our server, Zack, made the rest of the evening perfect. Food and champagne was excellent. Zack finished our evening with a beautiful Anniversary desert plate. Will continue to go back.

About the restaurant

Step inside and you realize that everything is a whole lot easier to love with that island feel Survey Café provides. Time slows down , couples young and old bring dogs big and small to sip coffee, pick at muffins, and forget about anything other than the current moment. Just another sunny Florida morning at the Survey Café.

Loaded with Old Florida history, The Survey Cafe is a quaint, indoor and outdoor café set in the heart of scenic Downtown Bonita Springs. With a relaxed atmosphere, outstanding food, and good prices, this place is one of our absolute favorites on for breakfast or lunch. Live music on Sunday brunch is an absolute pleasure .
In season dinner are served Tuesday evenings through Saturday evenings and the French flair floats over all the items served . Do not forget to check the menus on the website as they constantly evolve .
