Great ambiance, great service, food was good, but pricey, and a little overcooked on both ribeye and filet. Nice presentation.

Seafood

Fort Myers

About the restaurant

A chef-driven menu unlike any other, The Silver King Ocean Brasserie is where coastal refinement meets the historic Fort Myers' spirit of adventure. Our commitment to fresh, vibrant cuisine comes from using freshly caught seafood from Dilly’s Fish Co. in Naples, Florida, along with locally sourced produce from Farmer Mike’s in Bonita Springs. In addition to our standard menu, Chef Zach Geerson’s five-course tasting experience offers a rich and indulgent dining journey that highlights the best of our region’s flavors. Complement your meal with a selection from our curated wine list, featuring over 100 bottles to enhance every dish. Slide into a cozy velvet chair and be taken in by the nearby bustle of downtown and the glint of our namesake swimming along the walls. Approachable, but far from common, The Silver King Ocean Brasserie is the place for indulgent dining in the River District.
