Best view on FMBeach. Lovely atmosphere in an air conditioned restaurant with table clothes and very friendly and accommodating staff. Beach attire is acceptable although first impression is that is is more formal but most everyone is welcome. Great Happy Hour prices and all food is delicious!!

Dinner tonight at Island View restaurant (in Lanl Kai Resort) on Ft. Myers beach. Our second time there and even better than the first! Great food and view of the beach, gulf six stories below.....and a sultry lounge singer crooning some familiar tunes while we ate. To begin, some specialty drinks at happy hour prices....then chilled gulf oysters on the half shell, spicy baked clams Francesco, steamed mussels in garlic and wine, clam chowder, Caesar salad. And their famous warm rolls filled with marscapone cheese and spiced olive oil for dipping. Our entrees were grouper oscar (topped with lobster and crab sauce), veal fontinella (veal with fontinella cheese, mushrooms in wine sauce served with a mountain of al dente pasta and veal milanese (breaded loin with artichoke hearts and linguine with olives) Barely room for desert (but we managed....chocolate lava cake). Another great meal at this excellent eatery! And kudos to our server, Guy for his attentive and personable service!! ?

The view and rocking tables are the best thing about this place. It's on the roof of the Lani Kai in Fort Myers Beach. Food is average at best as is the service. Don't go expecting too much but it's a fun place to try.

First time ever being here. Could not have asked for a better experience. Food absolutely top notch. So much so we went back two days later for Happy Hour and Appetizers. Staff was spectacular friendly,fast and and worked very well with each other. Helped with each other's tables, picking up dirty dishes, delivering food,etc. Highly recommend Island View.

We have been to the Island View before, we did not know that it was being renovated. Therefore we expected a great view of Ft Myers beach, instead it was moved to the 1st for durning the renovations with a limited view. The service was extremely slow. At one point we were told that our drinks were delayed do to the bartender leaving. We order a sea food tower that was good but there must have been a 30 minute wait for the main course. When the main course did come out we had no plates. We had a great time with our friends but not such an enjoyable evening with service and a marginal view. We will not be returning till the renovations are done.

This restaurant is just what you need after a long beach day. They were renovating the roof top area but the area on the first floor was still a great Italian dinner vibe. The food was so so yummy. The rolls are delicious! I ate the Caesar salad and the shrimp scampi and it was a great dinner!

Order the crab cakes!!My wife and I try crab cakes everywhere we go. These are the best crab cakes we've ever had and we've tried crap cakes in Hawaii, Seattle, Missouri, Florida, North Carolina and the Oregon Coast? . For $12 on their menu, it's worth an hour drive or more to have these. Their sauce is incredibly light and had a fantastic citrus and the mayo balance paired with a crab cake that's been perfectly cooked. The crab is the highlight of the dish, paired with the sauce is most likely something you'll order more than once like we did.

This was not at the rooftop restaurant because that's undergoing renovation. We knew that. The room being used in very dated. The singer was too loud nd not very good singing old songs. The whole scene was from 50 years ago. My wife ordered a dish that should have been mild but was very spicy so that she had to scrape off the toppings. We got various explanations but apparently there was a spice added that was not listed on the menu. We did not get an offer to replace it but did get a 10% discount on the entire bill and a free dessert. Server was friendly but only mediocre. I wouldn't go again but will try when rooftop is renovated.

Ordered prime Rib med. Rare. It came out cold (like it was straight from refrigerator) and raw. Sent it back, then got it warm and pretty raw still. Very bland taste. They wouldn't even be kind enough to take something off the bill because of it. Got the crabcake for an appetizer. Or shall I call it a pepper cake? The only flavor it has was green pepper although it looked like it was going to be tasty. I told them I wanted a crab cake because I wanted the flavor of crab. I'll never waste my money going there again. $82 of hard earned money, wasted.
