we chose Courtside for a special dinner with Dad while visiting Ft Myers and were not disappointed! excellent meal, too notch service and lovely ambiance. the steaks were perfectly cut and cooked, the sides were hearty and interesting. hreat wine selection. if could change only one thing, I would say the music overwhelmed our conversation. to be clear, both my hisband and father in law have hearing loss, so this may not be an issue for most.
