    We have been to the Island View before, we did not know that it was being renovated. Therefore we expected a great view of Ft Myers beach, instead it was moved to the 1st for durning the renovations with a limited view. The service was extremely slow. At one point we were told that our drinks were delayed do to the bartender leaving. We order a sea food tower that was good but there must have been a 30 minute wait for the main course. When the main course did come out we had no plates. We had a great time with our friends but not such an enjoyable evening with service and a marginal view. We will not be returning till the renovations are done.

    This was not at the rooftop restaurant because that’s undergoing renovation. We knew that. The room being used in very dated. The singer was too loud nd not very good singing old songs. The whole scene was from 50 years ago. My wife ordered a dish that should have been mild but was very spicy so that she had to scrape off the toppings. We got various explanations but apparently there was a spice added that was not listed on the menu. We did not get an offer to replace it but did get a 10% discount on the entire bill and a free dessert. Server was friendly but only mediocre. I wouldn’t go again but will try when rooftop is renovated.

    The hosts were very attentive and sweet. We had a late reservation and they still honored and were very kind. The lobster Mac and cheese was great.

    Both food and service were really good. We came during remolding, so no wood fired pizza. And, the temporary location was okay, very hot with no air moving.

    they are under construction, so the roof top restaurant was in another room, which was fine but was so hot, we sweated thru dinner. The food and service were ok. Prices seemed a little high. High end restaurant in a 2 star hotel?? Just don't get it??

    The experience at the Island View was a surprise. It was absolutely perfect on every level. The Host was so welcoming, the waiter couldn't have been more attentive, the food was special and we had an ocean view. It was our Anniversary and they have us a special dessert on the house. Highly recommend this restaurant.
