My husband and I ate their tonight. When we got there we were seated at a small table with a wall beside us. I asked if they had anything else,she said no. There was a table towards the back empty the entire time. The people beside us were loud and with more wine got louder. Not a good experience. I... More

Both owner and wait staff were very attentive. Generous portions of food and wine. Ambiance was wonderful, and the food was authentic French and very tasty. A must dinner sport for your trip around Fort Meyers.

Four of us dined for the first time at Blue Windows and were very impressed! This is a small restaurant with less than a dozen tables. We went for the early seating offering a three course dinner plus salad for $30. I had escargot, duck breast with a rich pomegranate sauce, and creme brulee. Service was excellent, the food was...

We had a very enjoyable French dinner last Tues. evening with friends who live in Fort Myers. Great food & service and we would certainly come back. You should try it! As a bonus, I left my iPhone on the chair and they immediately called me - that was close!

We really liked this place last year, so decided to try it again. While we weren’t greatly disappointed there were a couple of things that could have been improved. The onion soup was wonderful except for some reason the bread in it with the cheese topping was so hard, it couldn’t even be cut with a knife. The salads were... More

To start with one of the best experiences in Fort Myers. The waiter was filling in that night, was great. Hope you bring him in full time. Food was very good with a great wine pairing. Will be back this week!

This small restaurant (10 or so tables) tucked in one of the myriad strip malls that seem to proliferate in Fort Myers provides the diner with a well- prepared, honest variety of classic, traditional French dishes, which all too many "modern" French restaurants have strayed from. From escargot, foie gras, veal calvados and coq au vin through dessert of creme... More
