Restaurants near Estero Beach & Tennis 805A by Vacation Rental Pros

We always love Connor’s for a nice meal when entertaining company. It has an upscale feel without being stuffy and the food is top notch! I requested a table close to the door as my grandparents both can’t walk far, and was so happy when the led us to the 2nd booth in the dining room. Everyone raved about their food from the calamari, to the house salad, different cuts of meat, and the halibut…everyone was happy!

Tarpon Bay never disappoints. It was Friday Nite Date Night and time for Alaskan Crab Legs! Full order done to perfection with a salad and there was one happy couple. Food, service and atmosphere exceptional as always!

Very friendly & professional staff from moment to being seated at our table. We requested table with view (highly recommend requesting.) Brandon/ our waiter was one of best we ever had- anywhere. Cheerful- fit well with our group. Went above & beyond - even running to a different to get a requested cocktail! Gave us space & time to enjoy drinks, appetizer and chat before ordering. Highly recommend short rib pasta & salmon. We’ll be back. Ask for Brandon. The tall guy

We are frequent diners at CH and members of the Wine Club. Our anniversary was on Labor Day this year. Many restaurants were closed but we were happy to learn that CH was open. We decided to go with friends for a late lunch and the happy hour menu. We had a reservation in the bar. We were seated promptly and given menus. The happy hour menu was not part of the group of menus we received. We sat for sometime before a server named Joseph came to the table. We asked about the menu and he informed us we couldn't have the menu until 3:00PM. It was 2:57. The server had an attitude when he first spoke to us. He gave us a hard time when we asked about tasting 2 of the sparkling wines. When he finally left to get the samples, my husband went to the hostess stand and retrieved 2 happy hour menus. Joseph finally returned with the samples, we tasted, we ordered. He disappeared for another 10 minutes. He never brought the bread. The people across from us were flagging him down for 15 minutes. He looked right at them and never approached their table. Finally, he returned to take our orders and that was the last time we saw him. Sometime passed and a manager brought the missing order for the table across from us. She dropped their food and immediately walked away. She never turned to us and asked if everything was OK or offered an explanation as to where Joseph had gone. After another 10 minutes, a server named Kristen came to our table and explained that our previous server would not be coming back, ever and that she would be handling our table and the table across from us. Things happen in restaurants every day. The food was excellent. Management dropped the ball BIG TIME yesterday. What should have been a nice celebration for us, turned into a mediocre, lack luster visit involving us in the staffing & personnel issues plaguing that store. It was a very disappointing afternoon.

We always enjoy dining at the Dixie Fish Company. The food, staff, atmosphere and views are all great! I usually get the fresh catch - either in a sand which or plate, but there are plenty of other seafood (and non-seafood) items to select from. They offer a full bar w/ a variety of draft beers as well as bottled beer and wine, etc.). This is a sister property to Doc Ford’s and The Whale. Although the menu items vary, the quality of the food and service don’t; they’re top notch! If you’re looking for a casual venue overlooking the marina/water that serves great food at reasonable prices by a friendly and professional crew, you needn’t look further.
