- SSueSouthwest Florida •5 reviews5.0Dined on 23 May 2026We had an incredible dinner here. My husband and I split a lobster Mac and cheese appetizer and a wedge salad. The lobster a dish was more than enough for two people and was filled with a ton of lobster and a very creamy sauce. The small salad was also more than enough to share and very good. My husband had the scallops and risotto and he said the scallops were sweet and delicious. There were three scallops and next time he will get the steak and scallops to try the steak out. I had the seafood provencal and that was so filling! The muscles were sweet and the gulf shrimp were huge! I’d definitely order it again We did not have dessert or alcohol, but they do have an extensive wine menu. It’s pricey for sure but the food and service makes it worth the money spent for a nice dinner out overlooking the gulf. Can’t go wrong with that!More infoThistle Lodge Restaurant$$$$• Fusion / Eclectic• Sanibel•4.1

There's a little piece of paradise just off of Fort Myers, Florida where you can nap in a hammock between the palms under a vibrant blue sky. It's a seashell collector's dream. Restaurants here serve some of Sanibel's most delectable dining options. Most places are quaint little island affairs with delicious shrimp, savory crab, grilled fish and other seafood, but there are also more upscale seafood specialists with views over the ocean. There is a place for every taste on the island. For some land-based options, visit a local steakhouse or savor Mexican or French cuisine at one of Sanibel's locally owned establishments.
