The food and attentive service alone are worth the trip into a secluded commercial strip in Ft. Myers Beach. Mix in a delightful chanteuse with her sax/keyboards/vocals partner and plenty of dancing and it is irresistible. We were the youngest people in the place by 25 years but it did not matter to them or to us: there was fine... More

Jazz and food. Both are top level at the Roadhouse. About halfway between Ft. Myers and Ft. Myers Beach in a shopping center, don't let that fool you, it's what is inside that matters. The great Jazz trumpet player Dan Miller leads the music and the chef produces food, both high quality. What a great way to spend a Tuesday... More

My husband and I were on a wknd (Marriott Resort & Spa @ the Sanibel tower) getaway when he suggested we leave the resort for dinner. With no questions asked before hand I obliged. As it appeared we were pulling into the restaurant vicinity, I became immediately disturbed with the atmosphere. This restaurant sits in a plaza that looks abandon... More

It was recommended to us to try Roadhouse. I didn't know what to expect as I was told it was a Jazz restaurant. So I took my husband out for a date night. I made the reservations and was surprised to see a restaurant in a somewhat empty shopping center. When we entered the restaurant it had low lighting, linen... More

Tripadvisor reviews where the reason for our return to what was once a 5 star French Restaurant back in early 2000's. The present owners are true hospitality professionals. Really on top of their game. Great selections on their menu and the snapper special was true class Florida. From app. to wine should please everyone. Our only negatives were the decor... More

We've been to this establishment many times and we're always happy and satisfied with our experience. Last night we were celebrating a birthday and we were delighted that our table was decorated with little b'day confetti. Very nice touch. Joseph took perfect care of us. The food was delicious and well presented and the music added another layer of excellence.... More

A bit obscure, as it is in a strip mall. However, go inside, and you're transformed into a very nice upscale nite spot. We enjoyed great crab cakes as appetizers, while sharing a great Riesling, while accompanied by smooth jazz. The wife especially liked it, instead of standard fare dark steakhouses. Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance.... Enjoy

Looking for a different environment after several meals at restaurants on the beach we did our research and called for reservations. We were welcomed and given a great table from which to enjoy the evening's Jazz music. We had a chicken dish and the NY Strip Steak au poivre. Both of which were awesome. The beet salad which we split... More
