Perfect Cup

Perfect Cup, Pine Island, Matlacha, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Well the Perfect Cup is still not perfect. Rave: good coffee, Rant :You must get it your self.
Rave :food is good, Rant: service is slow and unpredictable.
My meal, slice of a ham, a bit salty, biscuits not as fluffy as others I have had, Potatoes ehh ok, French toast ok, I should have  been warned about the powder sugar!
Folks are nice enough. Though at these prices I should not fetch my own coffee or take my bill to a cashier. BUT when you are the only game in town you put up with stuff.




Marcos Pizzas

Marcos Pizza, Nicholas Pk Wy, Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I stopped into a hardware store. They were next door. I have been seeing their ad's for last 5 years. I was hungry & lazy.
The food. 7 bucks for a small 1 topping pie and a drink. Well it was as nasty as I expected it to be. Tasted like some of those pizzas you buy frozen at the grocery store.
It still being open tells you how good the taste buds are of the general local populace.
Never again even if someone pays for my meal.

Arbys

Arby's, Hancock Bridge Parkway, Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I finally caved in and tried the beef Brisket sandwich. Minus the Mayo. I hate to say this about a fast food eatery,BUT it was one of the best brisket sandwich I have had in SWFL. Tender, flavorable, perfectly cook.
Onion rings big and tasty. Shake cold and mmmmm good. Service was quick and nice.



Cafe El Choccolate

Cafeteria El Chocolate, SE 47th Ter., Cape Coral,Fl., Here is my 2 cents and some chatter.
I arrived at 1055 AM. I was unsure on what to have. I decided at 1101 AM to have a breakfast entree. I told staff. I waited a few minutes. Then inquire about my order. I was told they stopped serving breakfast at 1100AM. I drank my coffee and left.

Maria Pizzeria & Restaurant

Maria Pizzeria & Restaurant, SE 46th Ln., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food & chatter.
I had a restaurant week entree for 25 bucks. I got meatballs for appetizer, chicken Marsala and tariasu for dessert.
Ah yes old skool free fresh buttery bread with a olive oil dip sauce. Lip smacking good.
Though only 2 medium size meatball, they very much melted on the tongue good. Chicken  was cooked  so tender. Though a tad more garlic for the day. At least for me.The dessert light sweet & chocolate mmmmm good.
For later on and manana pepperoni/mushroom pizza. Good fresh good cold. They could put on more mushrooms considering the price of toppings.
Service was outstanding.




Mr BBQ

Mr BBQ, Lee Blvd., Lehigh Acres, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. I have had this marked for 2 years.
The food. Baby-back rib , hush puppies & cole slaw. Plus garlic bread. Well the best thing here was the garlic bread. Garlic, buttery and perfectly toasted. Ribs fall off bones, puppies were tasty, cole slaw just cole slaw.
The entire entree was fine. Nothing to holler about. I see I have higher standards and much better taste buds. If I lived in the area it would be a regular spot. But for me to drive 50 minutes from The Cape, with all these horrible floridians drivers ( Florida always in top five for bad drivers in the US) , It is just not worth it.


Hart & Soul

Hart & Soul Cafe, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chatter. What is really good is the staff. Helpful ,cherry ,fast on their feet.
The food. Waffle, eggs ,bacon. Waffle and eggs are cooked to my specification.Lots of butter and syrup on the side.  Tasted just fine.
BUT I find the bacon over cooked to the point of being burnt.
I was there around 1010 AM so maybe I got there at the end of the rush.
Over all good will be back.  







Mexico Lindo

Mexico Lindo Restaurant, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral Fl.,Here is my 2 cents on the food. Plus some chatter.I used the delivery service of Bite Squad.
The food. A burrito and a chili relleno. I was given a bag of still warm tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa was horrible.. It was like eating a chunky italian pasta sauce with a tad of cumin.
The burrito and relleno was not much better. Just your average mediocre mexican food. Does not stand out as good.. Plus over priced. T*co Bell has better items.
Delivery was excellent. It was hot on arrival. Able to track in real time.
Never more...Much better eatery in N. Ft. Myers.



Outback Steakhouse

Outback Steakhouse, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The food. I went with the now heavily ad of a 18 oz. Top Sirloin, med. rare of course. $23.00
It was cooked properly though the cook had a hard time getting there. You can tell by the marred seared lines. It was tender enough & big enough for a steak sandwich at home. Veggies were good.
Oh yes the tortilla soup was spicy due to the extra cumin.
Of course one of the few places that offer free hot bread still.Love this!!!!!
My server Anna was outstanding. Attentive helpful and professional.

Streetside Burgers and Fries

Streetside Burgers and Fries, Kismet Pkwy., Cape Coral,Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food & chatter.
My entree. Cali Burger. Burger with the house special seasoning, bacon, cheddar , avocado and such.
10 bucks see picture. I ask for it medium rare. I could not tell cause of the special stuff. Same with fries. It was ok overall BUT. for me way toooooo SALTY.
This is a good ideas. In a gas station with a drive thru window.
I think for his customer base,like me old fogeys, he will need to revamp the salt content.
Plus for the prices a bit high.



Thai Nawa

Thai Nawa, Pine Island Rd., The Cape, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The food.I do not recall the name. ( see PIC) I cannot pronounce it. I do know it was OUTSTANDING.
Hot fresh ingredients just a wonderful meal. My appetizer of fried tofu is a great item for the veggie heads. Terrific sauce.
The service is stellar. Along with a better and cheaper coffee than St*r b*cks.
If you love Thais cuisine you must come here.



Athenian Restaurant

Athenian Restaurant, Tamiami Trl., North Fort Myers,Fl. Here is my 2 cents and chatter. This is an old skool proper eatery. They give you bread, soup or salad and a big filling entree at a reasonable price. I got a great split pea soup & a salad. My meal was medium cooked lamb chops. Great veggies and mashed taters with a good gravy.
Service was stellar. They do a outstanding breakfast.
One of my favorites places



Shoeless Joes Sports Cafe

Shoeless Joe's Sports Cafe, Bell Tower Mall, Ft. Myers,Fl. Here is some chatter and 2 cents on the food.
I came here for my advertise free birthday meal. A credit of 14 bucks. Well anyway which  way I tried to spin the offer, I would end up losing on the offer or spending more money. There is nothing on the menu for 14 bucks. It was either $10 or $16. So either way the Joes came out ahead. What a false leading scam of advertising.
The food. I settled on the fish and chips with cole slaw. Cole slaw was mediocre at best.
My first order of fish came out under done. No sushi for me at this time. Plus this the very first time I have sent back a meal in 5 years. When it arrived it was cooked properly. No big deal just average bar food.
Service was very good. But really no reason to come back here. Food not worth it.



La Corte Bistro

La Corte Bistro, Lafayette St., Cape Coral, FL, Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat.
The food. Sea scallops and rice. I must say it was delish. The scallops were fresh and cooked to perfection. I did think the seasoning was a tad salty. But I do not use a lot of salt, so it may be my taste buds. The rice was of a saffron persuasion. I am not experience in this flavor. It was good .
Chit Chat.. Stone, was my server. He did an outstanding job. Actually one of the best waiters I have had since writing my reviews. Attentive, friendly and professional.
Though this is a pricey venue ,it was worth the experience.
Definitively  a place to take a business meeting to impress or romantic affair.
My experience this time was more positive..( they had a change of chef/staff)
