Tarpon Bay (Bonita Springs, FL)

If you want a nice seafood restaurant with an amazing view, then go to Tarpon Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. Located at the Hyatt, Tarpon Bay has an amazing view of a fountain in water. You can sit indoors or outdoors. Don't worry, the outdoor seating has a screen over it, so you don't have to worry about the mosquito problem. Indoors, they have a big wine cellar with a bar.

Recommendations

For an appetizer, I would recommend the three ceviches. You can choose from a variety of the Snapper, Scallop, Peruvian, Salmon, Shrimp, Tuna, Grouper and Conch. Remember to pick wisely though, some might have a different taste then others. Also, they have amazing oysters. I would recommend the Blue Point.

For the main course, the Salmon Pineapple Diablo is one of my favorites. It's served with lemon grass scented jasmine rice, Salmon Roe and cucumber salad, served on a Pineapple Diablo sauce.

Also, the Tarpon Seafood Pasta is good. It has gulf shrimp, diver scallops, lobster broth, roasted vegetables and Ballerine Pasta.

Also, for a side dish, the lobster mac n cheese is so good! It has all the tastes of regular mac n cheese, with a twist of lobster. Yum!

Attire

The dress code here is not too fancy, so jeans will do. Also, Tarpon Bay is a kids friendly place. They offer to do half a portion on most dishes for the kids. There is also a kids menu. Tarpon Bay is fine for adults also, if you want to have a romantic evening alone. Every Friday and Saturday, from 7:00 P.M - 10:00 P.M, there will be live music playing. Reservations are recommended.
