    We stopped in and sat at the bar for a couple drinks and apps. We experienced excellent service and ordered crab cakes for a snack. I eat lots of crab cakes and would rank these among the best ever.

    We love sitting on the outside deck overlooking the bay. The seafood is flavorful and fresh. The service is good and friendly. When they are busy there can be a wait just to see a waiter

    We were so pleasantly surprised at how nice this restaurant was. We had dinner there early in our vacation and it was the nicest restaurant we visited while in FMB. The food was wonderful.

    We ended up going back to Bay Front Bistro 4 times in 4 weeks, some times for dinner, and other times to sit at a high-top table near the bar and enjoy good appetizers. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful spot for lunch. Cloth table cloths, above average service. Right on the river. Indoor or outdoor seating. Perfect for watching the boats come in and out. Worth checking out!

    Everyone in our group had something so incredible that we all ended up sharing. The filet was out of this world and the snapper was absolutely perfect and on top of really flavorful risotto.

    We grabbed a few beers and an appetizer during happy hour at the outside downstairs bar waiting for a boat tour. With half price drinks and appetizers it was a great deal. We ended up coming back

    The Bayfront Bistro is top of the line dining on Ft Myers Beach. Elegant, relaxed. Inside or deck dining. Their bar is a great place for a drink and appetizer.

    This was a great place to get away from the super casual spots. Linens, delicious foods and nice wine and beer choices in a pretty spot was what we enjoyed.

    We ate lunch at the Bayfront Bistro and the food/service was as good as the view. Reasonably priced for this hidden jewel behind the Public store on Estero.
