“Wonderful Wine Dinner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

We had a very good wine dinner here featuring Decoy wines. The three courses were all excellent and the price of $50 each, which included wine, was an amazing bargain for the great quality of the food and wine.. The fish course was especially good. The service was prompt and friendly. The only drawback is that the restaurant can get very loud when it is full.
The restaurant is a little off the beaten path for tourists, but it is worth seeking out.
Arrive early and wander around the attached market which has a lot of hard to find food items.

“Delightful food, engaging staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

We were happily surprised by the affordability of this fine dining experience. The lunch entrees were in the $10 - $ 20 range. Salads under $10. In addition to excellent food, the wait staff is engaging and helpful as are the staff in the adjoining market. If you are lucky, Sandy the resident cat will greet you outside the door. This was one of the best food experiences we had in Ft Myers. Our group of three dined on the mahi mahi fajita, the Gulf Coast shrimp and the pork tenderloin with apricot sauce and apple fennel slaw - all were delicious!! Highly recommend Shoals!

“Great Place for a Group Party!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We had a great event here in November for about 120 people from the Boardwalk Caper Marina Community. It was wonderfully handeled by the management and staff and the attendees have has nothing but awesome things to say about the experience. The cocktails were great, the food praiseworthy, and the staff went out of their way to make sure that everyone was taken care of. The music provided by Greg Watts was great and got everyone up and dancing for a good part of the evening. It was a perfect night and we thank Shoals and their staff for a fantastic evening!
