Ichiyummy

Ichiyummy, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is some chatter and my 2 cents on the food.
I am a meat loving carnivore. Give me a rare steak anytime over a lobster. But once in awhile I like to eat raw fish bait and seaweed salad. That when I go to all you can eat Ichiyummy.
They give you small portions to cut down on waste, but encourage you to eat as much as you want.
Dishes are always beautiful, and tasty. No need to waste your gas and money going to Ft. Myers or overpriced snobby ,Naples.
They serve beef too. Along with fried stuff.
Staff is always excellent.
Note: Did you know the Japanese in San Francisco Golden Gate Park invented the so called fortune cookie!?  . Go to China the have never heard of this item. American soil made.

Las Brisas Mexican Restuarant

Las Brisas Mexican Restaurant, Pondella Rd. North Ft. Myers,Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. The food. A lunch special of beef enchilada,with rice and beans. Lets not forget house made salsa with hot corn chips.
This is one of 2 of the best mom & pop mexican eateries in the area. They are both in North Fort Myers.
The salsa is always spicy and fresh. Beans are perfect refried not too greasy as chains can be. Rice with flavor and fluffy. Oh yes the enchiladas are great tasting no matter what cheese or meat you desire.
AHHHH yes let's not forget the chili rellenos. MMMMMM so good.
Place is super clean and service it excellent.
If you have never had real mexican cuisine you are missing a treat.



New England Mooring

New England Mooring, SE 16th Place, Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chatter, I have been here many times. ( unfortunately not open for lunch , I would be here more often)...They have yet to disappoint me. This time around , I am here with my wifey. A new thing here is the Echo. The modern day version of the juke box. But you pay no money and speak of the  singer you want to hear.......In a place that is in a time warp for the 70's Floridians.

The food and extras they give me, We share fried zucchini plus given some fried garlic bread, excellent.  I had a special of shark and angel hair pasta with garlic sauce. My wife the Trio, shrimp, grilled scallops and Maryland crab cakes . As always they  met and exceeded my expectations. Of course the Irish cannoli's and free Amaretto drinks. A wonderful dessert drink.
Two things were substandard, the cole slaw, no big whoop plus the AC was lacking. Though a fan was directed my way.
Overall outstanding service and food.
A must try place.

Cape Cabaret, Vincennes Blvd., Cape Coral

Cape Cabaret, Vincennes Blvd. Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
This is not just a eatery. It is a nightclub with live entertainment. The chow is good too.
We had a spinach artichoke appetizer, comfort food of meat loaf and a pot roast. With garlic smashed potatoes and green beans.
Overall it was delish. The taters could use more garlic. ( Note: There are folks who are allergic to garlic. I feel for them.) Green bean cooked to just  crunchy. The meatloaf and pot roast was almost as good as mine. A nice rich in flavor gravy.
Service was stellar.
I will definitely be back.



Mcdonalds, Colonial Blvd., Ft. Myers,Fl

Mcdonalds, Colonial Blvd. Ft Myers., Here is my 2 cents on the food and service. I thought only in the Cape, Mcdees was bad. Nope . I find pretty much they are bad. Bad service and cold items. I had a coupon for BOGO  breakfast bacon,cheese ,egg biscuit.
Drive thru was quick my breakfast was cold. I took a bite as I drove away. It was sitting under heat lamps. In the olden days food was quick, fresh and hot. No longer.
Sad state of affairs.

Ariani

Ariani,SE 15th Ter.,Cape Coral., Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. I have been wanting to go here for a while. I expected 5 stars for the food. I was not so impress.
Our order, 10 bucks for a martini, :-(  ...  Hot bread, Snails as appetizer, Beef Wellington, Tilapia,  cheesecake dessert.
Ahhh fresh hot bread...Disappearing from so many places.
Snails, never had them... never again. They tasted ok except for the texture. The cream sauce was bland needed garlic or something. Not worth the money.
Tilapia, in a baked crust, with cream spinach and a lobster pasta.Cooked just moist. Lobster pasta good flavor, bits of lobster... My wifey enjoyed this. I thought They could have done better in flavor.

Now the biggie. Beef Wellington, medium rare, in a flakey crust filled with a mushroom sauce.
I found this out about myself. I like steaks just by themselves. When inside a crust or covered with a marinate it in not for me. Same for this. Though cooked right just a waste of money. I have had a beef stew with more pizzazz.  Mash potato and cream spinach were tasty. 25 bucks for a lesson learned.
The dessert,cheese cake. Sugar and chocolate what not to love.
Service was good very accommodating...
I am not sure I would return?????



The Cafe Restaurant

The Cafe Restaurant, Coralwood Mall, Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
This has to be one of the best cafe for breakfast/lunch in the The Cape.
The food. A reuben sandwich and the Greek spinach pie. I love the reuben sandwich, a bit of fat, flavor and real seeded rye bread. Flaky phyllo crust with spinach and full of flavor.
Service is always up to par. Prices are reasonable
Oh yes let's not forget the mushroom soup. Chunks of real mushrooms.
