The Friday pizza is a two for one! Enjoy the food, ice cold beer, plenty of TVs, and always great conversations! The menu is excellent!

We were seated quickly by a friendly hostess. Specials were offered and drinks brought quickly. We had a great panini of the day with ham and Turkey. Also, we had the blackened fish sandwich. Unfortunately it was way too salty for us that ordered it. The cheese that comes on it is unnecessary. The fries were hot and tasty. Our iced teas were replenished quickly by our server. The views were spectacular, but our meal was ruined by a gentleman at the next table who was extremely loud and never shut up the whole time we were there. Other diners were put off as well.

Our party of 8 ordered grouper, shrimp, salads, crab sliders and clam chowder to name a few. Most of our food got good reviews, though clam chowder was just so-so. Our service was not great. Had to ask for drink refills and not all orders were correct but got straightened out so gave 4 stars. May try again.

Absolutely loved the pastries and atmosphere. Quaint bakery with good service and kind staff. Donut holes were the best I ever had ( with cinnamon and sugar)

Situated at Gasparila Marina.
Reviewed By rockydogz1 - Venice, Florida
We had 3 different dishes and one appetizer. The calamari won as the best selection. Grouper sandwich which was featured was just ok. Good selection of draft beers, good wait staff and reasonable prices to a little high for the area. Gut feel is that they have average cooks and could use a chef.

Reviewed By EyeForget - Fort Lauderdale
This is a solid choice. The lunch menu is simple and limited. The ingredients are fresh and are high quality. The cooking is excellent.
I've lived in Florida for 25 years and have been to near every gastro pub or steak house looking for a good burger. I've found a few but the Pink Elephant's is a step above the rest. Simple, excellent meat, order it about any way you want, the bun fits the burger, medium rare to perfection, excellent fries, SERVED HOT. Pickles are way too brined, be warned.
Baby iceberg superb. It should be the definition of a wedge salad.
Tuna tartare was excellent. The chef knows what he's doing. We looked around at other tables first to judge cleanliness and freshness. Passed that test as did the tartare.
Fish taco's. Not so great. Too many restaurants try to do too much with this dish. The Pink Elephant is one of them.
Service is superb. Polite, friendly, inconspicuous yet attentive, quick to respond.
I've been to Boca Grande several times but this is the first time I've eaten at the Pink Elephant. For lunch, the best in town.

Reviewed By Renemesis - Miami, Florida
Yeah so the name is misleading because of the "cafe" part but this is your one stop shop for anything and everything you can get on the island. Bikes, gulf carts and other rental gear.
I would bring my own food before arriving on the island but if you want a quick cafe or some miniature sized airplane priced liquor, this is the place to go.
Customer service bumps this review by 1 star, goes to show customer service can go a long way when lacking in other areas.

My wife and I stopped off at this neat little ice cream spot for a late night treat. They have a very extensive menu, with all sorts of ice creams, sundaes, and smoothies available. The two young people serving were very friendly and efficient, great music was playing, and nice seating outside to savour our delicious ice cream. Worth the visit!

I wasn't expecting a lot and was surprised by how pleasant the restaurant was. Not upscale by any means, but not shabby either.....just nice and comfortable. The kind of place where you can have a good time with the restaurant being a pleasant, unobtrusive backdrop. The service was good. We shared the crab and avocado quesadilla and it was delicious. So was my plain burger. My guests both enjoyed their Caesar salads and fish and chips. The Steak was good, though rarer than ordered. Not so much with the lobster bisque which had a gloppy consistency with lots of what seemed like tiny balls of flour.....very little lobster. It was a cool and pleasant evening, and the boat ride over and back, as well as the small wait for the water taxi , was most enjoyable.

We always dine at the bar here...where you will find a cast of evident regulars. Retirees from up north...they are a cute, friendly and amusing crowd. Seems to always be the same bartender who is friendly and attentive. Don't expect anything fancy here. Our go to dish is the broccoli rabe and sausage, yum...but, we've also enjoyed their pizzas, carpaccio and other small dishes. When we are in the area, this is definitely our go to dinner place. Prices are reasonable and the place is clean, comfortable and casual.
