Reviews for Courtside Steakhouse in Fort Myers, FL
This is most definitely a 5 star restaurant, don?t let some of the guest?s attire fool you. One of the nicest dinners we?ve had... in a long time with absolutely outstanding service. The seabass was about the best we have ever had, hands down. Everything waswonderful, and try the crab cake appetizer, it was fabulous. Really a great experience in every sense, really worth checkingout. Read more
This is an exceptional restaurant and the service provided by Calbert was one of a kind. He provided us with great... recommendations for food and wine, hard to find service of this caliber. Our steaks were delicious and I ordered a Ribeye mediumrare to only find they undercooked it to perfection of my liking, black and blue. Very impressed by Courtside Steakhouse and ofcourse Calbert!

Saturday we went for my husband's 50th birthday. I had made reservations weeks ago and called twice to confirm. When we arrived... there, they couldn't find the reservation but since there were plenty of empty tables, they didn't have a problem seating us.The decor of the restaurant is very much Floridian style. The prices of the select menu are rather on the higher end. Everythingis a la carte including side dishes. The NY strip steak was ordered medium rare but arrived almost well done. The lamb was verygood. The escargot as an appetizer was alright. The first plate was still dirty from prior usage. That was a turn off. Oldfashioned drink wasn't really worth $17. Tasted more like a fruit punch. Overall mixed review. The quality does not match theprice. I don't think we will be back. We used to frequent the Courtside in the past. Read more
The restaurant is very nice, the place is extremely clean and the food was definitely prepared by a chef. The service was not... up to five star standards for a premium steak house. Read more
New management needed!! Worst fine dinner experience I have ever experienced!! Corporation at Marriott Sanibel should be... ashamed!! $134.00 bill for a wrong order, 50 minute food wait, cold bread, and horrible service , and dated atmosphere for asupposed 5 star restaurant! Either lower your prices and be honest with your customers or fix it. Read more
While most people in my party of 6 gave it a 3 star review, I think it's more like 2 stars, maybe 2.5. The "esteemed"... "Courtside Steakhouse" was a major disappointment. 1) While the waiter was nice, he was totally too casual for a place like thiswhich charges premium dollars! 2) For a steak house, one of my parties steak was brought out rare while he ordered medium, sad.My "special" fillet steak with crab cake was OK, honestly mine are better tasting and the crab cake was 95% breading. My wife'sappetizer of "Lump" crab meat was more like a small tablespoon of shredded crab. 3) The waiter essentially tossed the dessertmenus around the table like a Vegas dealer and never even engaged us about dessert. 4) The wine prices were outrageous. I canunderstand markup but a $90 retail bottle was listed on the menu for $425 and that's just highway robbery. 5) Overall, for theabove issues, the total prices was way too high, probably double the price, in my opinion, for what was received. I'm notagainst paying that amount for a great experience, but this was far from great. We dined on a Saturday night and it was not afull house. Oh, and I forgot, we waited probably 15-20 minutes after we finished our appetizers before dinner was broughtout. Not what we would expect form such a high priced steak house. Read more

The food was amazing. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. ThanksCONTIN and rest of the staff for a great experience. Cant wait to come back. Read more
There was not enough goat cheese on the beet salad, about a teaspoon. I ordered the filet with a $5 sauce add on. Again, there... was not enough sauce. If I pay $5extra for sauce, I would at least like enough for a small bit with each bite of steak. Read more
