The Elephant bar is really nicely decorated with great ambiance. Great to hide in during happy hour when you want to get away from the Mall crowds. The bar is situated neatly away from the dining area with some good cozy tables. Our bartender Chelsea was great. Very friendly, attentive and you can tell she knows what customer service is....

The food was quite good. I had the salmon and my friend had the Chicken Marsala. The service was above average. The menu was extensive. The prices are a little on the pricey side but the atmosphere and decor were exceptional and more than compensated.

A unique varity of foods, not the typical chain fare. Nice drink selection. If you are not sure what you are "in the mood for" try this place. They really do carry a large selections of various entrees. A nice bar selection too. We were able to get the (rather obscure) wine of our choice!

I recently went for lunch with a few friends, one of whom introduced us to Parmesean crusted green beans with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Outstanding! The fresh green beans were very slighty al dente, the Parmesean crust was light and not greasy. A single order was more than enough for 4 people. I will return if only for an... More

Location is at Edison Mall but do not let that scare you. The entrance is from the parking lot. You do not have to enter the mall itself. Very nice atmosphere with good food.

Location very convenient to reach at Edison Shopping Mall, Food very international but Service is not acceptable. We were here two times this week, first seated in a very cosy corner and had to ask after a while if somebody will serve us - they just forgot us, second I ordered coleslaw and got fries. Waiter said can happen no... More

First visit with local friends Wednesday at 1:45. Nearly full but no wait. Mixed crowd from young families with young children, office lunch groups / party, to retirees in small groups. This is the height of our winter tourist season and first day of spring. Local restaurants, especially in downtown Fort Myers, have no or very limited parking, normally street... More

I probably wouldn't go back. Food was average and the service was spotty. We felt rushed by the server from the minute we sat down but then she would disappear for long periods. It was clear she wanted us to go when she repeatedly stopped by the table to ask if we were finished when we were still eating.

We had made a reservation for a group of 12 at this establishment last Friday for 5:45PM. We arrived at 5:15. The restaurant was less than 1/2 full. The hostess stated that we were 1/2 hr early. They were slow in setting up a table for us. Finally after 15 minutes a table was ready. There was a coupon for... More

We stopped in here for lunch while visiting the Edison Mall. We continue to occasionally brave this mall although a murder occurred in the parking lot here a few months ago. We each had the jambalaya and found it to be edible, but extremely average. There was no spark or pizazz. It was bland with almost no heat and the... More
