I ate here for lunch. I was seated outside on the deck which is really on the water. Great for watching boats coming and going. The waitress was fabulous. She really made sure that I was happy from start to finish. I started with a nice bloody mary and had the Absolutely Delicious stuffed grouper for $14.95 for lunch. Reasonable.... more

We've been to Matanza's numerous times on previous trips and were anxious to go back this time. We've always enjoyed everything but this time just didn't do it for us. The view is still wonderful so you can't take that away from them but the server we had this time seemed a little out of it. Not quite sure but... more

After hearing great reviews of Mantanza's from friends that had been there before, my family and I decided to give it a try while vacationing in Ft. Myers Beach last week. Atmosphere was great, but that's about it. I should have known it would be bad when even the bread was bad, cold and was some kinda wheat, raisin bread.... more

We were looking for something on the water that had a crunchy grouper sandwich...a staple on south florida menus and where we could order a couple of bloody marys.

The entire meal took about... more

Food was great! Drinks were good! Scenic view of the bay! A nice place for a romantic dinner or fine dining. A little pricey but not disappointing just expect to pay for what you get! Nice place to go for a nice evening! more

The seafood here is good, but I've gone back for the scenery. The deck out back is very pretty, especially during sunset. The restaurant is right on an inlet, which lets you watch a lot of boats come and go. Although, if you're really bothered by birds, this might not be for you. People are discouraged from feeding birds, but... more

Good views over the bay, nice food and good service more

This place was just voted best seafood restaurant, and its easy to see why. The food here is utterly amazing, the staff was great, and we were treated to a table that was overlooking the back bay, and after sunset, this makes for a nice romantic spot. Told everyone to come here after eating here once. more
