- PPatriciaGoldOrlando / Central Florida East •45 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 17, 2026We always have an excellent dinner here. Jack and Calbert are amazing with their service. They are friendly and always professional. The filet mignon never disappoints with its flavor. The wine list is short for a steakhouse, but the Pinot noir was perfect. This is a hidden gem that should draw more locals.More infoCourtside Steakhouse - Sanibel Harbour Marriott$$$$• Steakhouse• Fort Myers•4.6

Discover Sanibel
There's a little piece of paradise just off of Fort Myers, Florida where you can nap in a hammock between the palms under a vibrant blue sky. It's a seashell collector's dream. Restaurants here serve some of Sanibel's most delectable dining options. Most places are quaint little island affairs with delicious shrimp, savory crab, grilled fish and other seafood, but there are also more upscale seafood specialists with views over the ocean. There is a place for every taste on the island. For some land-based options, visit a local steakhouse or savor Mexican or French cuisine at one of Sanibel's locally owned establishments. End your evening with some freshly made ice cream or gelato by the beach.
