    The food was great! Our server was excellent and attentive. We went at night, but I would imagine during daylight the view would’ve been great, price was in line with what one would expect at a hotel resort

    Great food & great service. Isabella was a sweet & efficient server. All 6 of our meals were outstanding. Free valet parking with a restaurant receipt which is a nice touch. Aside from the 2 walls of floor to ceiling windows looking out from the 2nd floor towards the pool & Gulf of America (great view of sunset), the small“dining room” felt more like a plain-Jane conference room in a moderately-priced hotel. With a cosmetic remodeling update, this could be a good water-view dinner destination in the Lee County Collier county Metro.

    We usually eat at Rae’s once or twice while staying at the Pink Shell in Ft Myers and we have never had a bad meal! It’s a hidden gem!

    Anniversary dinner. Great food (we are picky) and better service with an amazing view Ambience is minimalist. But food, service and view make this a ‘well do it again’
