"I absolutely adored this restaurant! The service and food were so impressive that we ended up visiting two days in a row. The avocado toast was the best I've ever had, and the banana pudding was equally outstanding. Their three-cheese grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup were excellent, as were the biscuits and gravy. Emily, our server, was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly and helped us make great choices. Since it was a special birthday week for our family, she even took photos for us and surprised my sister with a complimentary banana pudding, which made us all want to return the next day for a taste. On our second visit, we were served by another wonderful staff member, Larry. Once again, we enjoyed fantastic meals and met more friendly people. Both Emily and Larry contributed to our delightful experience. The restaurant was clean, and every dish that came out looked fresh and delicious. I'm a bit envious of the family members who get to go back since we were just visiting, but we will definitely make this restaurant a must-visit on any future trip!"

We had breakfast at this restaurant, and it was amazing! The food was delightful, the service was outstanding, and the prices were quite fair. They also have a pet-friendly outdoor space, which is a great bonus, and it provides stunning views of the water. I highly recommend it!

Great location on downtown Fort Myers just near the river. I chose the Fried Chicken Sandwich (Nashville hot) with choice of fries, onion rings or fruit. I had fruit. The sandwich is delicious (as my server Cindy promised). Not overly spiced just a touch of heat, and the Chicken was Juicy. Can't go wrong with any choice.

We had breakfast and it was fantastic! I ordered the Bourbon walnut apple French toast, and if you love French toast, you absolutely have to try this. My wife had an egg white omelet, which looked amazing. Their bacon is also a must-try. Overall, I’d give this place a perfect 10. Great job! It is a bit pricey, but what isn't these days? View menu

I stayed at Luminary and had both lunch and breakfast at this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding. We tried the stone dish for the first time, and I’m not sure about the name of the waitress on Sunday, but she was fantastic. The stone dish was incredible, and despite how busy the restaurant was, the service felt effortless.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ella Mae's diner for brunch and enjoyed a delightful experience. The food was excellent, and the **** Marys were a highlight, perfectly complementing the meal. The cozy atmosphere added to the overall charm of the place, making it a great choice for a relaxed and enjoyable brunch outing. I highly recommend it if you have not tried it!

The food was outstanding! The portions were ample, and the flavors were delightful. The prices were still quite reasonable. Just a tip: skip the Ultimate unless you're really hungry—it’s massive! Their French toast with apples and pecans is absolutely delicious, reminiscent of warm apple pie. Our server, Doane, was exceptional; he was friendly and took great care of us. The manager was also very helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend this place as an affordable yet classy spot to start your day off right. View menu

First off the only entrance to the diner from outside building is on the South East corner with very limited parking. Why they have doors on North and East side then keep them locked is baffling. Probably against FIRE CODE as well.Now to the experience everyone was smiling and happy to assist. Service was excellentHad my typical breakfast 2 eggs ,grits, bacon , and a sausage gravy biscuit. Solid 10My date loved the Bourbon French toast.Only to complaints was the access doors and the price of the Mimosas are a little high.

11/23-24/2023While staying at the hotel,I ate breakfast here two days in a row at the counter.Both days, service was excellent. Food came out quick and the coffee was good (free refills).Day one, I had the biscuits gravy with two eggs and tomatoes. Really good, a solid meal for under $10Day two, I had the classic two eggs with hash browns, sausage and toast. Really good and the potatoes were the star of the plate.I saw some **** Marys being made and they looked good.Note to self: get one next time.Note to you: get one now.
