A throughly enjoyable evening. The food offerings from appetizers to desserts was outstanding. Our server, Tara, was, by far, a major reason our evening went well. Her questions about our food preferences helped guide her to offer suggestions that we would like. She was spot on. The environment was equally important and added to our dining pleasure. Hats off to Perfect Caper for a job well done. We’ll definitely be back!

We are big fans of Sails. Have been coming here since they opened, it was our anniversary. The experience was amazing, hospitality at its best. We were welcomed outside, the hostess said “welcome we are expecting you happy anniversary “. We were showed to our table, greeted again and wished happy anniversary. Ibrahim (sic) was the ultimate server/host with complete command of the table, menu, à la carte or tasting menu. We had water immediately and the extra place settings were cleared. A pillow was brought for my wife’s back support and a small stool for her purse. As we were pondering how to start our night, Nenad, sommelier, brought some champagne to celebrate and start our dinner. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings. We asked if we could sub the crab for tuna tartare and without hesitation Ibrahim said “absolutely “. An eight course meal, every course was served and explained in a very professional manner. Nenad poured the pairings and explained every wine and why they paired with the food. From France to Italy to California, Nenad has a vast knowledge of wines, wine regions and tremendous expertise in pairings. The dinner ended with a Grand Marnier soufflé and sticky toffee. Paired with a muscat and a twenty year old Port. After the dinner, Ibrahim took us next door and showed us Omasava the omakase style restaurant. With a magnificent wine wall as a backdrop, you sit at a smooth wood counter and enjoy a true Japanese omakase experience. As far as price, was it expensive? I paid for the experience, and it didn’t disappoint. It was three hours where we felt catered and cared for as if we were the only people at the restaurant. I was worth every penny. We would like to congratulate the chef for an amazing menu and delicious courses. Again, hospitality at its finest.

• Breakfast • Fort Myers Beach

Much to our dismay a reservation for an advertised buffet with carving stations /extensive salad bar /appetizers/sides/ desserts became an omelette bar with breakfast sides -which though good , was not what we expected ! apparently the advertised Xmas Buffet was from two years ago and we barely made the cut for the breakfast buffet ! our reservation was for 11 AM and the breakfast Buffet stopped serving at 11 AM. We were seated since we showed our confirmed reservation! Staff was confused n it took a bit to sort it all out. Never have had trouble with open table reservation before but this was a mess!!!
