Delicious! A super nice place to have a romantic dinner. The outdoor seating ambiance is really nice, and live music really adds to the charm of this gourmet restaurant. The grilled octopus appetizer and the watermelon salad were perfect starters. The duck and red fish entrees were both cooked perf
Excellent place for dinner, which is why we went. I had the best tenderloin I have ever had, paired with some cooked spinach and garlic mashed potatoes, it's going on my list for the best dishes of all time. I had the octopus as a small dish, and it was average. Atmosphere felt more like a higher-cl
Very delicious and unique dishes, french inspired. The set menus for holidays like New Year's are an extra special treat. Hearing Melissa communicate with the chefs from the open kitchen gives a rare experience that directly connects you to the artists behind the decadent dishes.
Marvelous!! Fish stew is common food. You can find it up and down the coasts and throughout the islands. Fresh ingredients, good seafood, etc. And it's all good to very good. What chef Melissa uses is the best shellfish, the best fish, the best spices , tomatoes and wine.. and cooks it all perfe
It's not often that you find a restaurant while traveling that you love so much you go back for a second time! Melissa's restaurant is not your average Sanibel "grouper" sandwich place. Her food is inspired, creative and sooooo good. As reviewed below it's way above 5 stars!! I enjoyed the James Bea
I enjoy the food here so much I can’t deduct a single star. From the salads, to the cheese plate to our main courses, absolutely everything was wonderful. Our only compliant was the inside is very loud. We’re going a second time before we head home. Here’s a picture of the fish stew and scallops.

Dinner, service ambiance fabulous. Hannah was efficient and very nice. Really enjoyed the octopus appetizer. It was tender and delicious.
The scallop entree was perfect with risotto. Shared the key lime bread pudding. It was really tasty.
Warm, friendly atmosphere, accommodating service, well made drinks, fresh creative food. My husband had the duck; very good! I had to try the award winning fish stew and was not disappointed. Packed full of melt in your mouth seafood. I love that they offer a petit portion which was a perfect size f
If you're looking for elevated dinning without a cookie-cutter menu this is the place.
DON’T MISS THIS RESTAURANT!
Very simply, this was one of the finest meals we have ever had. The atmosphere is charming and the service was perfect. To say the food was five star just doesn’t quite do it justice. It is evident they only use top grade ingredients. However, the unparalleled pairi
We had a fabulous dinner at Sweet Melissa's. It was our first time, we arrived on the later side so no tables were available but we sat at the bar and had amazing service from the nicest bartender. The menu is on the smaller side, however, everything is delicious and on more of the "gourmet" side, w
One of my favorite restaurants on Sanibel. It is a bit pricey relative to other places on the island, but the quality is good. Every time I've eaten here the service has been wonderful as well.
Only feedback I'd give is I wish they had more vegetarian/vegan options so friends that visit can enjoy.
Lovely place to host our small birthday dinner. The food was delicious, service superb, and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect from Sanibel, perfect.
Nice place, excellent food and attention. Marc, the waiter was helpful and very kind.
The prices were also very reasonable.
The best dining experience I’ve had in a long time. Each course had pleasant surprises & interesting twists. You can tell this is a kitchen that truly takes pride in what they put out. Thank you for a memorable evening!
