Having just moved here, I cannot say enough how welcoming all the staff is here. It is rare that a host will go above and beyond her role, but that is exactly what Kailey does every time we stop in. From finding lost sunglasses to connecting with managers as necessary, Kailey always delights. Chase and Potts are also truly welcoming, from the first time we stopped by to watch football, to a quick visit after work. Put it all together with a great view of the Gulf from the upstairs bar, and you will have an experience as a local or a visitor made to feel like a local.

We stopped in for an early dinner. We sat outside with a view of the beach and ordered a couple cold beers. My wife ordered the blackened grouper and I ordered the Key West combo, which included mahi-mahi, shrimp and conch fritters. Everything was perfectly cooked and had such great flavor to it.

Went for first time with friends. Had heard of it but never ventured there due to ongoing road construction. Our mistake. It’s located directly beach front with a fabulous view. Our server Adam was a true professional in all aspects. The sea bass is the best I’ve ever had. Period. Also the scallops were outstanding. Highly recommend you fight the traffic and go.

We loved the food, staff was very friendly. We sat outside on the deck, but still had a roof over our heads (it was raining from time to time), with a great view of the Marina. Parking was a bit overcrowded, but we found a spot. Our GPS had trouble locating the restaurant, but we managed. Definitely go here!LalaBaba2, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this excellent review! We are glad to hear that you had a great time. We look forward to hearing from you again in the future.

I honesty can not say enough great things about this restaurant. I usually don't do reviews unless it's over the top. DELICIOUSNESS. I guess it's just because I'm not the type to say bad things and unless I am really impressed with a place I will simply because it makes it easier Also, I am only on the hunt for certain types of cuisine in my travels.. German, Thai, Sushi and occasionally Greek. Soooo here goes: I Have to start with our incredibly sweet waitress Lori, she was just so nice and pure. She helped us choose when we couldn't, and was spot on with everything. Just a genuine sweetheart. Thanks again LoriOn to the food, Im telling you ...do not miss this restaurant!! We were traveling in our RV and decided to check out Sanibel. Our RV park was in FT Myers and we planned on staying one or two nights... Well we ate at Heidi's, and decided to stay longer so the wonderful chef/owner could prepare us our favorite German dish SCHWEINSHAXE (PORK KNUCKLE).Honestly it was the best we've had since having it in Germany. These folks are the real deal...Best pretzels...Best sauerkraut... best red cabbage... best potato pancake... best Sauerbraten... Best Bier...the list goes on!!! Needless to say went back two more times for a total of 3 in 6 days!!!!Thank you again to Axel and Heidi for the absolute best German food EVER and the Best hospitality!!!!! We will definitely be back I wish we lived closer!

Edelweiss Burger

Reviewed By Kevin M

Small venue easily missed if you're not paying attention. And parking is a challenge. But if you've made it this far, your taste buds are in for a surprise! Choose a menu selection or custom build your own. Super flavorful burger done to your desired temperature. Make sue you get the house made chips. Wait staff was busy but efficient. Chef stops by each table to make sure your meal was as you desired. Nice touch. I'll be back.Thanks for the great review best regards EDELWEISS BURGER FORT MYERS Beach Florida
