Food Scene
Address: 15501 Old McGregor Blvd #12, Fort Myers, FL 33908 OPEN: 11:30 am - 8:30 pm
New England-style seafood is the focus of this simple counter-serve joint with some outdoor seating. Friendly no frills atmosphere. This is a hidden little gem that you probably wouldn't stumble across because it's in a strip center off the beaten path, but don't let that fool you. This is by far one of the best Sea Food restaurants we've eaten at. Everything is fresh, hand battered fish, shrimp, hand cut fries, home made chowder. They don't have a liquor license but you can bring your own. Small , clean place good prices, and quick service. Try hand battered fish, shrimp, hand cut fries, home made chowder

There's a good selection of items and their hot tea is great. The ice cream sandwiches are a big plus compared to those typical ice cream buckets everyone digs into. The selection of sushi is awesome. The staff is very nice and never a wait for a table. Been going here for a long time and never been disappointed with the food. The muscles and seafood is always fresh. The sushi looks the best but that might just be me, looks like it's made by a truly professional Itamae,sushi chef
