Restaurants

You had me at tacos and margaritas! We recommend the Coco Margarita. Dean’s offers indoor cantina and courtyard seating. Deans has a wide array of Tex Mex & American classics. Open on weekends for breakfasts and lunch. Open for dinner 7 days a week. Happy hour is weekdays 3-6pm. Nightly live music 

Located on the Peace River waterfront, Laishley Crab House has stunning views over the river from their

outdoor dining deck and perfect views of the sunset. They have curtains in case of rain. The bartenders

are great, and the food is better. Best sushi in the area. They offer a large variety of seafood dishes – from

sushi to steam pots and beyond. We recommend reservations which can easily be made online. After

dinner, sneak downstairs for ice cream

"A pinch of soul, a dash of hip, and a whole lot of lovin’!"

At Leroy’s, everything from customer service to Southern cookin’ revolves around the belief that“Happiness is Homemade”. They take pride in providing a family-friendly menu and experience that is unlike any other restaurant in Southwest Florida. From the strum of blues in the background to the savory, homemade flavors, and scents --- we know you’ll love it at Leroy’s!

While their Southern cuisine is rooted in family tradition, they’ve never stopped innovating. At Leroy’s they love to create new, playful, and of course, delicious, takes on your favorite classics. From small plate

selections to specials, their dishes are both imaginative and true to the essence of Southern cookin’!

Personally, we find the BBQ to be AWESOME. They also have a unique drink menu.

Another great upscale dining option. The Captain’s Table is in Fisherman’s Village. Come enjoy the

stunning views of Charlotte Harbor with the freshest gulf seafood, hand-cut steaks and dishes from their award-winning chef.

Reservations suggested. Don’t miss the Captain’s Chowder.

Centrally located in historic Downtown Punta Gorda, FM Don’s is a place you can enjoy delicious food 7

days a week. Led by Chef/Partner Keith Meyer, FM Don’s offers unparalleled service and cuisine unlike any other in Charlotte County. The culture is simple, a genuine desire to meet and exceed the

expectations of their guests.

Great option for a nicer meal. We recommend reservations.

Our favorite place for pizza. Dine in or carry out. 

For over 38 years they have proudly served authentic Italian food. They make their food with much care and have added some new favorites over the years. For guests that have not eaten there, come try some in-house baked dishes or salads and don’t forget the pizza that put them on the map. 

Great local restaurant on the water. Arrive by car or boat. Little off the beaten trail but that’s why it’s so good. Bring bug spray. From yummy fish specials to lighter fare options, they have plenty of delicious choices for you, including great deserts. There is regular live music and the picnic tables in the sand are great options for families/kids. 

Chef Carmelo's Ortigia Cucina & Bar is inspired by the beauty and flavors of the small town and region of Sicily that he is from. Offering small plates, tapas style, we find this restaurant to be a great option for a full meal or light snack.

The open-air restaurant, great service, and live music creates an awesome atmosphere to complement their food. Personally, we are huge fans of the Sangria – get the pitcher!

Dig into some chef-inspired, down-home Florida cuisine with “a Twist“ at one of Southwest Florida’s most unique venues. Come on in and enjoy the food. Enjoy the drink. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the atmosphere. There is lots to enjoy for all ages.

Make sure you have the hog wings. They are awesome!
