We went there for the first time in Christmas day. A party of 3 with 3 different entrees. Lobster ravioli, Chicken parmesan and Grouper. All were excellent!! So full of flavor, presentation was superb and abundance in quantity!! A real chef must be present! Also, Mary our server was amazing! We will definitely be back. Very pleased!!

Wow!!!! Stopped in on a whim and just to have a beer and rnjoy the view……well I got a heck of a relaxing view from the outdoor second level seating!!! Then, the drink was absolutely perfect, the beer was cold, the appetizer was delicious! But being that it was my birthday, I got that bread pudding thingy…..chocolately goodness! Heaven in my mouth!!! The service was on par! The food was quick and the place is absolutely awesome in the decor! Definite 5 star and will soon be returning!!!

We went to Bayfront Bistro today (Nov 7, 2022) for their Grand Reopening. The food and drinks were great and they have really done a phenomenal job rebuilding their restaurant.

This is a hidden gem! We have been to Fort Myers several times now and this was our first time at Bayfront Bistro. Food was amazing. Our service from Maryann was amazing. Dessert was incredible. We will definitely be returning every time we come back to the island!

Great food & friendly service! My spouse and I, ate dinner here last night. Prior to our visit, I had read a review that mentioned that Bayfront Bistro has a fabulous Grouper sandwich on their lunch menu.

We sat at the bar. We had 2 house salads that were excellent size and taste good. Came with bread and some kind of oil dip, very good. We also had the Asian calamari and coconut shrimp. The calamari was spicy and very good, large enough for a meal. I highly recommend it. Coconut shrimp was good. I also ordered the clam chowder…I sent it back….it did not taste like clam chowder..no noticeable clams, taste more like herb chowder with potatoes. Also not a fan of the female manager cleaning the shelves and spraying window cleaner by us while eating. Nice looking place inside except for the cheap plastic place mats.

Had Mother’s Day brunch here. It’s very relaxed with a beautiful view. The service was friendly and efficient. The food wasn’t brunch food at all – seemed like a regular dinner menu. It’s very pricey and the food overall was nice. For the price (spent more than $250 for 5) I was hoping for something more but it’s just nice. I’d say you go here for a the view and the atmosphere.

Recently stopped by here for brunch to celebrate my father’s birthday with a party of about 12 people. Service was slow – it took about 10min. for the server to come ask what we wanted to drink (without bringing waters), and then another 15min. to receive waters and first drinks. On top of that, the botomless mimosas that half of our party ordered were pe-mixed & about 90% orange juice and 10% champagne – the ratio was subpar.

Food was excellent as was the ambiance. Portion size was perfect….satiating but not stuffing. Two quirks we weren’t happy about…their happy hour is only good at the bar (so we went to the bar, purchased our drinks and took them back to our table), and there was a $5 upcharge per plate for getting risotto instead of rice.

The downstairs Marina-side Bayfront Bistro is our favorite casual restaurant in South Fort Myers Beach, FL. They have the very best blackened, grilled grouper sandwich ($24 with fries and a spicy aioli sauce served on the side). BUT they only serve it until 3:00 PM. After that you can order a fried grouper sandwich but it’s nowhere near as good as the blackened, grilled sandwich. There are many grouper sandwiches sold here but this is the biggest, juiciest and most flavorful of all the restaurants we’ve tried. The restaurant upstairs is nice but expensive but the downstairs bar/restaurant is much more casual and fun. They have a great menu and selection of craft beers and tropical drinks. The boats on the intercostal and in the Marina add great visual interest. Everyone is very friendly and the vibe is classic south Florida beachy. I highly recommend you try it!
