Mangroves Bar — Restaurant in Bonita Springs

This is a pretty good place for a hotel bar and restaurant. However, they are missing a couple of things. First, the drinks are overpriced by $2-$3 each (at least). $19 for an Old fashioned at a hotel bar (and another dollar for an ice ball)? The best food here is the pizza (two topping for $16) which is cheaper than one drink. This is made up by darn good service. Not exceptional, but darn good. A couple of the bartenders make great drinks and are very good. Wait staff above average but nothing you’re going to brag about. No great or normal appetizers. No chips. No nachos. Cheese sticks for $18. Wings, board, or some other stuff that doesn’t make sense for a hotel bar. Missing some basics and high $ for what you get.

And why not copper mugs at a high end resort? The hummus plate had stale pita chips but we were so hungry we just ate them. Some of the veggies pieces were too big to even put it your mouth. Had to cut them up. Not terrible but for what you're being charged the kitchen should do that sorry! The pork wings were really good! Nice job. Overall nice atmosphere but disappointed with Mangroves. I'll give it another...
