This is more of a hoity toity wine and italian restaurant but I was craving a hamburger and had to have one. For 10 dollars you get a hamburger and fries. $1 extra you get cheese, and $1 more you get bacon... do it. When I was given my burger it was open with the most beaufitul freshly sliced tomato......

This restaurant was absolutely our favorite! The setting is quaint, the staff are personable and so friendly, but also very attentive. My spinach salad was wonderful and the lemon cake was incredible! We liked it so much we came back a second time for dinner, and no surprise that it was just as good! By far the best food on... More

Greenhouse Grill is my favorite restaurant in Sanibel. I eat lunch there at least once a week. Their dishes and service are without peer. I love the pasta dishes, pear salads, home-made soups, crab cakes, deserts, delicious lemonade. Love the atmosphere, the outdoor seating, the Italian art and music. Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!!! Gene

We used to always make this a stop on our visits to Sanibel. Last year, they turned the air conditioning off as we were ordering our desserts. We decided to give it one more try, since we have had great meals here. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. My mushroom ravioli was supposed to have a rose cream... More

We were driving toward a beach in Sanibel when hunger overtook us. By sheer providence, we saw the sign for the Greenhouse Grill. After checking out the menu, we took a seat and ordered. The Ceasar salad with blackened grouper was the best meal I'd had during our week in the Ft. Myers/Naples area, trumping meals we'd enjoyed in some... More

I think the waiter was also the cook. He pushed and pushed the daily special which just felt like he wanted to move the daily special and not actually giving objective recommendation. The veal was teh worst, hardest veal i've ever had. And it was ridiculously expensive to boot. the interior is gaudy as hell with walls made of styrofoam... More

Coming from Manhattan, we are used to good Italian food and Greenhouse did not disappoint. This was the best meal we had while in Sanibel. We stayed for 6 days, and tried a different place every night but this beat the rest. We went as a family, and everyone had a delicious meal. The appetizers were generous and delightful; we... More

No idea what time this gem closes,but we arrived a little after 8 and after getting past my Boston accent the owner graciously let us in for a fabulous meal for three very hungry and tired travelers. The service was fast and courteous. The food was hot and fresh. We completely LOVED THE FRIES. Best in the state if you... More

This is a must eat on the island. The food is very fresh and delicious! It doesn't look like a restaurant from the road but it is well worth it to stop in! You get crusty fresh baked bread as well.

The Greenhouse Grill is an excellent choice for a pleasant meal where you can relax, chat, and have a nice time. We were quickly greeted and advised to select any table we desired. Within a few moments we were relaxed and looking forward to a pleasant lunch. The atmosphere is charming, sort of "beach Italian" but without the over-produced decor... More
