Sizzle Dining 2024: A Culinary Tour of Southwest Florida and a Community That Cares

Hey friends! If you’re considering a move to Lee County, FL, there’s no better way to experience our community than through Sizzle Dining—an annual event that celebrates the vibrant local dining scene across Southwest Florida. This year, 114 incredible restaurants are participating, each offering exclusive three-course menus at a special price through September 25th. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the area’s top restaurants and see why Lee County is such an amazing place to call home.

Supporting Local Business & Missions While Enjoying Delicious Meals

What makes this event even better is its mission: for every meal ordered from the Sizzle menu, $1 is donated to Blessings in a Backpack, helping feed children in our community. So, as you explore these incredible flavors, you’re also contributing to a meaningful cause.

Last night, I visited JWB Grill for a meal with an ocean view—just one example of the fantastic dining experiences Lee County has to offer. I enjoyed a tuna poke starter, salmon with couscous salad in a tahini sauce, and a decadent chocolate mousse cake for dessert, all for $49. If you’re planning to check out JWB Grill, here are a few tips:

  • Make reservations early—the restaurant was packed when I left!
  • Request a window table to enjoy the beach view.
  • Ask about valet parking validation—it was available for diners last night.

Discover Lee County’s Best Dining: Why Point 57 Kitchen & Cocktails is a Must-Visit in Cape Coral

Eva Burd, Realtor

For my first “Explore Lee with Me” post, I had to spotlight my favorite restaurant in Lee County—Point 57 Kitchen & Cocktails in Cape Coral. This restaurant is a gem that combines upscale dining with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. My recent visit reminded me why I’m so loyal to Point 57. The food was, as always, incredible—I had the P57 Filet Mignon, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. And the service? Outstanding, as usual.

Why Visit Point 57?

But what truly makes Point 57 stand out is the amazing team behind it. They make every guest feel special with their top-notch customer service and unmatched attention to detail. The cocktails are a must-try here, especially the Smoky Old Fashioned, a drink that’s as fun to watch as it is to enjoy.

Atmosphere

The restaurant’s atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed, making it ideal for any occasion. Their weeknight specials are fantastic and reasonably priced—my personal favorite is Ladies Night. I often host meetup events here, and the staff always goes above and beyond to make each gathering memorable. It’s an ideal spot for large gatherings or special events.

Menu Highlights

Point 57’s menu consistently exceeds my expectations. Some of my top recommendations (besides the P57 Filet) are the pan-seared scallops, southern fried chicken, and the crème brûlée for dessert. I even chose Point 57 to celebrate a major birthday here because the food and atmosphere are simply that good.

Dining at Point 57 Kitchen & Cocktails feels like joining their family, and that warmth keeps me coming back again and again. If you’re thinking of moving to Lee County or just visiting, I highly recommend making a reservation at Point 57—whether you’re looking for an unforgettable meal or considering life in Cape Coral, this restaurant is a shining example of the vibrant community here in Lee County.
