Best Casual Restaurants in Fort Myers

Girls night out! Always a great dining experience at Cooper Hawk. Food is amazing, wine and cocktails great. (I had sweet red) Wait staff always wonderful. Atmosphere was unexpectedly quiet and we were ok with that. Never feel rushed even when it’s busy. Started with Brussels sprouts of course, followed by filet, Mary’s potato, asparagus, and Ellie’s chicken piccata. All the girls loved their meals. Delicious! All of Cooper Hawks dishes are amazing! Thank you again for another great dining experience.

Me and my family celebrated my husband‘s birthday at this restaurant, all of our first time attending. The food was amazing, but Rick, our waiter, was the cherry on top. Rick was an awesome and very attentive. He had us cracking up all night and accommodated all of our needs. We will definitely be back.

We were seeking waterside dining for lunch. It was our first visit to this great location with easy & free street parking on Sunday. We sat outdoors on the back side of restaurant. All 3 of us very much enjoyed our lunch of VA oysters, prime rib stew and seafood chowder, cobia & fish and chips. The cocktail menu was exciting and season appropriate and we were delighted for Castle & Key Harvest gin from KY (a fav of ours) to be featured & it was spectacular. Our server was great and she gave us just the right amount of attention. They had live music inside but we didn’t get to enjoy. The only critique is that the oysters seemed pre shucked. They were good but pricey and lacked the juice of a fresh shucked oyster!

Had a group of ten. Service was prompt. There were a couple of hiccups but those were resolved quickly. A nice establishment. We’ll be back

This restaurant is filled with a warm and friendly atmosphere. I love its authentic Mexican décor, but most of all, the delicious food. The tres leches dessert is spectacular—I highly recommend it!
