The Veranda

The Veranda brings Southern regional cooking to two historic homes on Second Street in downtown Fort Myers. Established in 1978, the restaurant combines a setting shaped by the city's older architecture with a menu that moves between seafood, grilled meats and familiar American dining traditions. Its garden courtyard and wine list are part of the experience, making it a place to consider for a celebration or a meal with time to linger. Seafood appears throughout the menu. Starters include lobster bisque, blue crab cakes with Cajun remoulade and shrimp cocktail, while seared scallops arrive with arugula, bacon and lemon beurre blanc. The Southern Sampler combines fresh fish, Gulf shrimp and scallops over fettuccine with prosciutto cream. Other choices include salmon with an herb and honey crust, shrimp scampi and pistachio crusted sea bass over Parmesan risotto. Grilled filet mignon comes with béarnaise, while the ribeye is finished with herb butter. Lamb chops with rosemary and merlot sauce offer another route through the menu. Some of the restaurant's older dining customs remain visible in its salads: Caesar and spinach salads can be prepared beside the table for two people. A grilled portobello mushroom with herbs and Boursin provides a vegetarian starter, and several dishes are identified as gluten free. Reservations can be made online or by telephone. With its combination of historic surroundings and a substantial dinner menu, The Veranda suits visitors looking for a planned occasion in the downtown district.
