Restaurants near Paradise on Third by Vacation Rental Pros

We (2 of us) were seated next to a table of 8 so there was a lot of service required, noise, etc. everything else was superb!! Our service provided by Torey was terrific, our aperitifs, entrees and dessert were delicious.

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

My family and I love Fort Myers Beach. It’s clear that the local community is staying strong and continuing to rebuild their incredible beach. There are tons of local restaurants in the area but our little girl was craving pasta our last night in town. We were not staying at the Pink Shell but decided to give Rae’s a try. I’m a huge seafood fan but my wife is not. At home we eat Italian 2-3 nights a week. For what it’s worth this was the best meal we had all weekend! We stared with the arancini (it was incredible!), our little girl had a perfect kids bowl of pasta, my wife had the Chicken Parm (she loved it!), and I had the seafood linguini (Every portion of the dish was cooked perfectly!), and because we like to go all in, we finished with the Key Lime Cannolis (unique and delicious!). Most importantly though the service was phenomenal! Our server Joey was on top it! We had a late reservation and I always feel bad about being seated in the last hour of service (we didn’t know until we arrived), but we were treated no different because of it. Our family felt very welcomed and the overall experience was A+. Looking forward to visiting the next time we are in town!

Much to our dismay a reservation for an advertised buffet with carving stations /extensive salad bar /appetizers/sides/ desserts became an omelette bar with breakfast sides -which though good , was not what we expected ! apparently the advertised Xmas Buffet was from two years ago and we barely made the cut for the breakfast buffet ! our reservation was for 11 AM and the breakfast Buffet stopped serving at 11 AM. We were seated since we showed our confirmed reservation! Staff was confused n it took a bit to sort it all out. Never have had trouble with open table reservation before but this was a mess!!!

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.
