It is one of the top rated restaurants where you can enjoy quality food, a variety of drinks, and over 55 different choices in their salad bar. I consider this restaurant a luxury on the island for great food.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->While at Charley\u2019s Boat House, I interviewed the General Manager Mr. Michael Stanton. Michael, the youngest of his siblings, grew up as a farm boy in Michigan. He moved to Bonita Springs, Florida in 1978 to help out a friend in the restaurant industry. Since then he never left Southwest Florida. Michael started working at Charlie`s Boat House Grill in Ft Myers in 1980. During our interview I found out he enjoys the simple things in life. His hobbies include playing golf, gardening, and wood working and he manages to do these things despite his everyday busy work schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant seats 206 guests. It is very spacious with a gorgeous view of the water as shown in my pictures. The location is handicap accessible. Mandatory gratuity??? Noon way. Unlike other restaurants they don\u2019t try to force a charge on you and I like that.Orders are taken on an iPad by their servers. I found the staff to be quite knowledgeable about the menu and always ready to give you their very best no matter how busy it is, in my experience. They make sure you leave full and happy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-33548\" title=\"Cc_01\" src=\"http:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Cc_01-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Cc_01-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Cc_01-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Cc_01.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Their bread is made from the best ingredients and from scratch, it`s a must try. I saw how the spare ribs and steaks are prepare and stored along with other fresh vegetables. We tried a few of their appetizers which I will be coming back for (lol). Most of their delicious salad dressings are made from scratch in-house and their steak is loved by all on the island and visitors.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of food we tried: New England Clam Chowder, Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Escargot, BBQ Baby Back Ribs, and their mouth watering 100% real Steak.<\/p>\n<p>The Drinks we tried included Banana Tini, Apple Martini, Chocolate Martini and MY favorite Shark Bite recommended by a staff member.<\/p>\n<p>I found out if you like the Charley`s Glass you can add \u201c$4.00 to any drink you can take it home with you as a Souvenir!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charley\u2019s caters for every occasion, from a business meeting in a hotel to a wedding on the beach. Even though Ft. Myers Beach can reach temperatures up to 100 degrees, Charley\u2019s will prepare and make sure the food is stored at the proper temperature and delivered in the same condition. Be sure to place catering orders 2-4 weeks in advance. You can email them and they commit to a 24 hour response time.<\/p>\n<p>Special Thanks to Mr. Michael Stanton and Staff for having me on location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6241 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931 (239) 765-4700 www.boathousegrill.net Email: info@boathousegrill.net Hours Of Operation: February thru April (4:45pm to 9:30pm) May thru January (5:00pm to 9:30pm) Early Bird&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33546"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33546\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
