Sweet Melissa’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Cape Coral

We had a great dinner at Sweet Melissa’s last night. Our server, Stone, was exceptional - very friendly, well-informed and perfectly attentive. All 4 of us enjoyed our food immensely - very creative American fare with global influences. The cocktails were great. The restaurant’s space is casually elegant with an industrial feel with nice lighting and art. It’s nice to have Sweet Melissa’s even closer to home in Fort Myers (we have been previously when it was in Sanibel). The only recommendation I would give is to put some type of divider between the kitchen door and server prep area and the dining tables so diners facing the kitchen and serving stations feel a little more like they are having a finer dining experience. I would classify it as casual fine dining. Highly recommend...

The absolute best. We get to Sweet Melissa’s as often as possible, it seems to be about 3 times a month. From the impeccable service, to perfectly prepared drinks, to the amazing menu, you just can’t go wrong. The fish stew is famous for a reason (and delicious,) but everything else on the menu is just as good. The mussels appetizer and fettuccini and clams are better than you’d have on the coast of Maine. We have the lamb meatballs app EVERY time, they melt in your mouth and they’re spectacular. We just ordered the cornbread for the first time, and it is quite possibly the best we’ve ever had. Sweet Melissa’s - go hungry,...

Stumbled across this restaurant as I searched on open table for a reservation since we are visiting the area for business. Not only did the name catch my eye for obvious reasons, but it was the reviews that caught our attention. Food and service 10/10. Melissa the owner came by to greet us as we joked about our name similarities. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for a lovely date night, their happy hour and of course the amazing cuisine! Thank you Melissa! -...
