Reviews for Traders 2 in Sanibel, FL
My husband and I just moved to the area and we came to the island for our anniversary. We saw T2 from the road and it did not... disappoint! The restaurant just reopened after being closed for a few months. We are so happy to have found our new date spot!Great selection of wine! We had mussels for an appetizer, then the filet mignon and seafood stew for entrees (both absolutelyincredible ) we finished off the night with key lime brûlée, again it was amazing! Service, food and staff were all 5 stars!We will definitely be coming back! Read more

It was good and I'd go back again. I had the Short rib flatbread which was ok. The meat was terrific but there were to many... large pieces of pear on it and it was soggy. The cheese plate was to die for! The mussels were tasty but small..good portion. Garlic butter sauce was excellent but the bread should be a dense bread. The bread served would crumble at the slightest bite. Read more
We just had a fabulous dinner at Traders2. The food was wonderful. I had the fish tacos which were stuffed with grouper. I... substituted beans and rice to get mixed veggies. They brought me a mix of 7 types of fresh veggies!! Everything was delicious. My partner had a flat bread which he loved. The wait staff treated us like royalty. I highly recommend Traders2!

A Sanibel gem! Spending two days visiting Sanibel from New York, my time was limited as far as experimenting with eateries.... After a lengthy search online for food that wasn?t fried and an atmosphere that wasn?t tiki bar-ish, I narrowed it down toTraders 2 and they did not disappoint. Lovely space with terrific service and a nice assortment of top shelf liquor. Opting forthe Shrimp and Scallop pasta special and a gin and tonic made my night. In short, Traders 2 was upscale in atmosphere but casualand friendly in terms of service. I highly recommend. Read more
Traders 2 is a more casual but still classy version of Traders. We visit Traders every time we stay on Sanibel/Captiva and was... excited to try Traders 2. It is like a small cafe with charming decor. Feels trendy and posh. Attention to design down to thenapkins and paper straws used. Being gluten free, due to a wheat allergy, I was happy to see the variety of tacos available. Thetortillas are handmade and pressed daily. Try the kale and beet tortillas they are a good and colorful option besides corn.Foodies and non-foodies will enjoy this place. The food is excellent. My family of four left clean dinner AND dessert plates. Read more
WONDERFUL flatbread! This just opened about 2 weeks ago farther down from the original Traders on Sanibel. Main room inside... bright Florida colors and a bit eclectic. They made use of all spaces for tables, some set back amidst brightly colored Floridathemed wallpaper. A number of outside tables also popped in among the walkways of The Village Shops, which this is located in,most shaded with umbrellas. Friendly, BUSY waitstaff. GREAT LUNCH spot. Short rib flatbread with creamed spinach (NO! Not theyucky kind from your childhood)- but fresh in a wonderful sauce. Thin crust was perfect, a tad salty to me, but husband RAVEDover it. I had the special: lamb flat bread and was unbelievable- creamed spinach , goat cheese, delicious sauce, with Greekstyle cuke and sour cream side. Drinks come with fun striped green paper straws and a nice touch was vintage style flamingo/heron cocktail napkins . ;-). A BUSY place (as most places are on Sanibel), some tables a bit in the corners, but deliciousfood! Will return. :-) Read more
Tried the re-opened T2 Saturday night?original T2 was SO much better for us. Original Margarita flatbread was one of the best... along with their others?now the flatbreads are not so flat, half the size & more expensive, plus they don?t offer a Margaritaanymore. I ordered the olive & onion and asked if they could put Brie or Gruyère cheese on it instead of goat cheese & was toldNO because Gruyère doesn?t melt very well (even though it was on another flatbread) & then was told there are absolutely Nosubstitutions made so NO to the Brie cheese too (this cheese was also on another flat bread.) This makes me think they are premade & frozen & in the end it wasn?t very good anyway. My husband ordered the lamb burger medium rare & it was delivered welldone?when he brought it to the waiter?s attention he was told that is the color of the meat?grey! French fries were notavailable that night so they were substituting (although customers can?t substitute) tri colored potatoes. My husband asked themto leave out the sweet potatoes & they said no problem?his dish was delivered WITH the sweet potatoes & the waiter said theywere pre made that way so my husband would just have to pick them out. I could go on, but you get the idea?one of our favoriterestaurants turned into a restaurant we?ll never go to again. Read more
