Monkey Bar Steakhouse

Monkey Bar Steakhouse, Lafayette Ave., Cape Coral, FL. A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The Food. I must say the chef was on fire.WOW,OBA,OBA. I had the prime rib, veggies, and smash garlic potatoes. The prime rib was excellent. A great medium rare with a encrusted rosemary/thyme. Tender to use a fork. Just enough fat for flavor and the carnivore inside me. The veggie were flavored enough so no extra seasoning was needed. The garlic mash potato was just pungent enough for garlic connoisseur.
The service was quick and top notched.
I must return.

The Olive Garden

The Olive Garden, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, FL, A grumble in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter, Lets start with chit chat, good stuff. ...The staff was all outstanding and just wonderful.

The food. I had minestrone soup, bread sticks, and lasagna. Soup tasted good because it is over salted. Bread ,hot fresh good and salty. Lasagna, a step above the frozen style  of Stouffer, fall apart noodles NOT al dente as it should be, and salt. SALT is only good on popcorn and french fries. Plus in limited amounts when you cook NOT the main ingredient of spices. FOLKS be advised ALL salt is sea salt. It ALL came from the sea. EVEN your table salt. Including black salt or pink salt.SEA's
Another eatery that has a computer at the table. TERRIBLE!
Mindless folks with mindless jobs and mindless life. You can come here and never have a conversation with a live human being. You come, use a machine to facilitate your order, call a living droid that brings the mediocre food stuff, Never complain or praise the chef, Never care or inquire of the serving droid life. Just call for stuff , pay your bill, never leave a tip or give a poor tip, ...why just an invisible thing... like  during slavery days, pretend that the people were just furniture .
No conversation, because you have a computer toy at the table or yakking on a phone. No magazine or paper to discuss the outside world. If it is a family let the kids raise themselves watching those witches kardashia. Or other reality crazy thing .

So if you like the beginning of 21st  Century dining Please continue here. Otherwise use your toys to search for a so much better and intelligent eatery. That you crave when on holiday in a foreign land.
Saul my server did a excellent job.

Amazon Grille

Amazon Grill, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Myers, FL A grumbling in my tummy and 2 cents on the food. A bit of chatter. Ok the good stuff.  The service was up to par and it was clean as far as I could see.
The buffet. The Food... I always sample a lil bit of everything at a buffet.
This was the most awful  food or buffet I have ever tasted. It was COLD. Pork was tough. Spaghetti dry. Shrimp had to be from the day before. Plus from the website page I thought there would meat. Not til the weekend.
So in 30 days I will recheck this plus... But for now NOPE.

California Burrito

California Burrito, Cleveland Ave.S, Ft. Myers, Fl., A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chit chat.  OBA OBA, WOW WOW... Finally a place that serves REAL BURRITOS.. no frigging lettuce, actual refried beans, hot jalapeno  peppers, They really understand the term of HOT PEPPER.
Finally a void has been filled real  california food. This is made to order items. Once you have made a physical stop... You can call in your order ahead a time for faster service.
The burrito is large and has weight. $7.50 tax included.  ( if U like taco bell...go away..it is not for U)
This is for carnivores( though I guess you can just get a bean & rice one)
This is designed for the working stiff... great tasting, cheap, filling and fast. The way it was invented in the  1950's , San Francisco, Ca. the Mission District.
Enjoy.

Sai Gon Sandwiches

Sai Gon Sandwiches, Cleveland Ave., Ft., Myers, The growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chit chat. The food. This is a must place if you enjoy a uncommon sandwich.
They are frugal,healthy, fresh rolls, a bit spicy and oh so good. They are for the adventurous when it comes to sandwiches. Sandwiches that are so good. These are made while you wait Vietnamese sandwiches. They have at least 10 on the menu. So you must try them all.
You can sit for a leisurely meal of soup and coffee, or order ,dash, dine and go. Either way you will have a delightful time. But remember quality and freshness can take a bit longer. Enjoy

El Patio Restaurant

El Patio Restaurant, Cleveland Ave.S., Ft. Myers., FL, A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chit chat.  ( PERUVIAN STYLE EATERY)
Chatter. Once I was able to determine which door to enter I was surprised  to find the place was 1/2 full.
It took a few minutes to get a server. I was given some fried corn kernels with, too spicy for Floridians, sides of green and red sauces . I love the sauces and corn kernel. I was brave trying a red corn flavor concoction that had a hot spicy cinnamon taste to it.  Eh it was ok.I also drank a Inca Cola, Golden Kola, it taste like a american cream soda. Pretty good.
My main entree was shredded chicken in a yellow sauce, w/milk ,walnuts, with 1/2 boiled potato, rice, boiled egg,  olive. I thought it was good ,creamy rich, the way french food is rich and heavy.
I kicked it up with the hot red/green sauce. I was a happy trooper then.
Over all not bad.... I still do not get the fascination, from my fellow foodies in Naple,FL. , about peruvian cuisine. It was just a good change of pace.
Service was a tad slow for me. I thought they could have given me more attention.  I stated 3 times I was a newby. They should have guided me more around the menu.
