After having a few meals at various mundane restaurants in the Ft. Myers beach area, we decided to try someplace new for seafood. We had seen some local ads for Channel Mark Restaurant, which was just a few miles up the Ft Myers strip and halfway across the San Carlos bridge.
It was so hot outside the day we dined here that we chose inside seating rather than outside. The tables and chairs inside were rattan with fabric padding on the seat. Nice, but not fancy. There was a large outside deck with tables plastic chairs for outdoor seating with a waterside view.
The offerings here are mostly seafood cooked the way the locals like it. The menu also includes burgers, and there is a kid's menu. I chose the grilled grouper. It sounded like an excellent choice, but, truly, it was on the bland side. My husband chose fried shrimp, which he said was just so-so. Just as we were finishing our meal, we watched as yet another strong storm came through, toppling and blowing away the plastic chairs outside on the deck.
Lunch will run about $15 per person and I'd say it was worth that. However, I wouldn't come here in the evening when prices double because I do not feel the food quality here lives up to the evening prices. Service was above average.
