Stopped at the bar for a quick drink before dinner - rum punch was excellent. Danny our server seated us for dinner. Danny was wonderful, attentive, we felt special. Danny was extremely knowledgeable about both the dinner and drink menus. My husband had veal and...I had the filet. Both were exceptional! It was a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting. If you go, please say hello to Danny for us!More

Gruesome. The food had to be microwaved. This included a dry “grilled” grouper special and a shrimp scampi where the shrimp tasted and had the consistency of frozen. The sides were nasty, including mashed potatoes with the grouper that looked like the kind of mashed...potatoes you get in a Swanson hungry man dinner. This is a restaurant in a resort, the resort is lovely, the restaurant likely relies on a steady stream of resort guests, to its and their detriment. We did get a very nice bottle of wine. Complete debacle. Avoid at all cost.More

My only complaint with this establishment is the smell. We almost had to leave as the musty smell was overwhelming. It’s the dry time of yr abs this shouldn’t be. Food was excellent and service good. We had the duck and it was amazing! They...had a piano man who kept us unite entertained. I would give you 5 stars if you find the source of that awful smell- carpet? Thanks!More

We enjoyed a nice dinner at Traditions on the Beach at a window table with a beach view. We had excellent service from Joe. My husband and I shared the spinach salad and their shrimp cocktail. I enjoyed Tradition’s black grouper special with the scallop....My husband also really liked his lobster, shrimp, mussels pasta special with choice of sauce type. While we didn’t dance, we enjoyed listening to the music and watching other diners dance. It was a lovely dinner in the Historic Island Inn.More

Simply Irresistible comes to mind when thinking of Island Inns fabulous, "Traditions On the beach restaurant". The character, warmth, scrupulous food along with picturesque views of Sunset will not disappoint you. Our family has enjoyed the welcoming greetings from Andrea, and the amazing service from...his family and staff. See you again in November. For those who are fortunate to be on Island be sure to book Easter dinner and dancing. The Parsons 🇨🇦🥂☀️More

We’ve been to Traditions before it was OK this time was the last time. We were a party of four. everybody ordered the special. All specials are $38. There is no excuse charge top dollar and serve cold cold scallops and cold mussels that I...had a return to have them warm it up! Service was slow. Too many good restaurant choices to try again.More

Thank you, Danny, for a lovely experience at Traditions! As our server, you took care of all of our needs and gave us great menu suggestions. The duck entree was amazing and so was the “by the glass” Cabernet. Make this one of your dinner...stops during your Sanibel stay!More

We had company from up north come visit and we wanted to take them to a nice place on the beach. We chose Traditions as we had been there before and enjoyed the food and ambiance. We had made reservations over a month ahead. We...were seated promptly upon arrival. Our table was tucked off in a corner with no view of anything. I asked if we could get a better table and was told no, they were all reserved. Our server was definitely pushing us to order quickly and we kept slowing things down. We laughed at the end when he brought the check and said “no rush”. Our food was actually quite good. If the table would have been better we would have left much happier. My guess is that people staying at the resort get the view tables, but we could have avoided the horrendous Sanibel traffic and had as good a meal in Fort Myers. We probably won’t go back here with all the other choices for dining.More

Simply Irresistible comes to mind when we think of all the wonderful times we have had at Traditions. From the ambience of Sun Set Views,Special Drinks,Gourmet Dinners and after diner dancing and Andrea's and staffs personal touch.. WOW says it all. Make your reservation for...no disappoints upon arrival. Enjoy a piece of Sanibel's Paradise. We will be back soon... David & Denise ParsonsMore

The atmosphere was nice, the waiter was very good however the food was bland and overpriced for such bland food (Scallops & Salmon). The bread took a little while to arrive and then when it was gone and they said they were bringing more, it...never came. They didn’t have the wine on the menu that we ordered but did give us a different wine at a cheaper price. The bill prices on one of the items did not match with the menu had, it was two dollars more. Not very impressed with traditions restaurant.More

Mandatory gratuity of 14% on all take-out orders. I am unaware of any other restaurant doing this. Chicken Marsala was unmemorable but my husband did enjoy the Scottish Salmon.

Arrived Christmas day for a five-day stay at the Island Inn (Traditions is their on-sight dining venue). The restaurant staff was amazing from the initial seating through the end of the night which was spent at the bar. The host and hostess made us feel...like the family. The lobster bisque was amazing; unfortunately the appetizer and entrees were just above average. I had the scallops and wife had the chicken...sadly, nothing to write home about. Like I said, the staff was good to go, the food was just okay.More
