MATLACHA. Overlooking Matlacha Pass, Bert's enjoys a view that makes folks visiting Pine Island for the first time green with envy. Of course, the so-called "million dollar" waterside setting is only part of this shack's appeal ­ after all, the kitchen does serve up tasty eats like peel-n-eat shrimp, farm-raised clams and even fried chicken. What's more, the place also features terrific live music, including everything from blues to good, old fashioned rock-n-roll.

FORT MYERS VILLAS. India Palace offers a pleasant, flavorful brush with Indian cuisine. The restaurant's locale in Fort Myers, FL is humble, but the atmosphere of the interior is warm and ambient. Meat samosas are a must to start, and then your experience can take many paths: shrimp masala, mixed vegetable curry or chicken tikka. Whatever you decide, be sure to leave room for a dish of doughy, perfectly fried gulab jamun topped with cardamom seeds and rosewater.

CAPTIVA ISLAND. If you're a kid at heart or have one yourself, the Bubble Room can't be missed. Although this is a themed restaurant with a 1940s Hollywood motif, Fort Myers's most unique dining experience has great food, too. The menu carries out the theme with such options as prime rib Weissmuller, Eddie Fisherman's grouper filet, and Henny Young-One boneless chicken breast. Here you will be treated to lots of fun as well as huge portions.

FORT MYERS BEACH. The Beached Whale is commonly regarded as one of the best restaurants in the area of Fort Myers Beach. The inauspicious exterior belies the beautifully appointed interior, and the rooftop deck bar is a great place to settle in for a midday bite and a signature house cocktail while you enjoy the breeze off the ocean. Try the sweet potato fries for starters, and then move to Yucatan shrimp or fish-n-chips for your main course.

SANIBEL ISLAND. Highly thought of for its home-style breakfast eats, Amy's isn't the type of place that hides behind pretense or smoke and mirrors. No, this simple island eatery opts instead for a good, old-fashioned formula ­ give folks pleasant service, great food and a laid-back place to enjoy it. Regulars swear by the cooked-to-order omelets, the lunch crowd makes no bones about stopping in (sometimes several times a week) for a hot dog or burger, and the Friday night fishfry is quickly becoming a local tradition.
