Restaurants near Bella Lago 343

Always great food, great service, nice ambiance and great live entertainment at the bar before the meal. I think this place flies a bit under the radar here in SWFL. It’s a favorite of mine for special occasions.

It was our first visit for our wedding anniversary. They were very acknowledging of that fact as well- which was awesome! The hostess asked us how many years we were celebrating as she brought us to our table- and congratulated us. It was very sweet, and I thought was really nice because a lot of restaurants ask if you are celebrating anything special when booking but usually don’t acknowledge when you are in the restaurant. We sat outside and it was a beautiful night. Patrick was our server and he was great! He also congratulated us on our wedding anniversary and brought us 2 glasses of champagne on the house. We started dinner with the lobster crab and shrimp bisque, it was excellent. We also had the drunken shrimp which were good. My husband and I both ate off the Chef’s menu- I had the surf and turf which was FABULOUS, and my husband had the lobster and shrimp pasta which was also very good. We had the Bubbly flights to keep with the champagne theme and all were very good. For desert we had the Crème Brulee and the cheesecake and they were amazing. Everything was fantastic- we will definitely be back and we hope we get Patrick again! He was excellent. Great night overall.

Here’s a sample review: Incredible Food and Personal Touch! We had an amazing dining experience at JWB The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Steak cooked exactly as I wanted. Pasta was perfection. Creme Brulee was perfectly torched. Will be back

We always enjoy dining at the Dixie Fish Company. The food, staff, atmosphere and views are all great! I usually get the fresh catch - either in a sand which or plate, but there are plenty of other seafood (and non-seafood) items to select from. They offer a full bar w/ a variety of draft beers as well as bottled beer and wine, etc.). This is a sister property to Doc Ford’s and The Whale. Although the menu items vary, the quality of the food and service don’t; they’re top notch! If you’re looking for a casual venue overlooking the marina/water that serves great food at reasonable prices by a friendly and professional crew, you needn’t look further.
