Some of the very best contemporary Italian cuisine found here in the USA. The surroundings may not be elegant but the food is absolutely sublime!
This has become our favorite restaurant! Setting is casual and food is top notch.
Greeted by their fabulous hostess, Tina. Unbelievable service by Ken. Fine dining at moderate prices. Food was outstanding. Crabcakes were light and fluffy with a homemade glaze. Pasta and steak were superb. All in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Pastry chef on staff so desserts are amazing. Just go…

We were celebrating a birthday, couldn’t wait for Courtney’s to reopen after the devastating hurricane. We had the surf and turf, and the fillet mignon with béarnaise sauce. We were served delicious bread with olive oil and herbs. Next we sampled the house salad and my favorite, the Caesar salad. Next came the fabulous entrees, the steaks were flavorful and melt in you mouth tender, the lobster tail,was prepared perfectly. Jordan provided excellence service. Happy to see owner Betty again,

Reservations are highly recommended. They open at 4:00 Tues-Sat. If you make a reservation for 4:00, just an FYI, the door does not open until 4, so if it's very hot out, try to get there right at 4:00
Yes, it's in a strip mall, but it's a fine dining experience.
I had the Bruschetta, Cucumber martini, Ceasar salad, Ravioli Sanibel, and Bread Pudding. Have enough for leftovers.
The Bruschetta was on their crusty yummy bread. The so very good, Ravioli was filled with lobster, with shrimp on top, did not disappoint me. Ceasar salad, very good and the Bread Pudding, not bad.
All in all, a very nice dining experience with nice presentation. My waiter was very accommodating also.

Like many gems in Fort Meyers this is located in the otherwise unspectacular location of a strip mall. If you’re not paying attention you will drive right by it and not give it a thought. I did for years. If I had not gone into a next door business and noticed an employee updating an outdoor chalk board and been thirsty, I probably would still be driving past on my way to Publix. Courtney’s is a very good and well known to regulars, small and charming restaurant. It is not hip or trendy, more traditional, but not dated either. The menu is “courageous” and extensive for the size. I finally had dinner with a choice of seating at a small comfy bar, high top or traditional seating. The triple tail fish special was excellent, bread and olive oil tapenade dip very good. Service with a very light crowd on a weekday was excellent. I don’t know the owner chef, but it feels like a family operation. I urge you to support this and other hurricane Ian affected small businesses. Courtney’s is located in an area that was devastated and knocked down. Help them get back up! (FYI. I’m inclined to not publish anything critical for any
businesses affected by Ian for one year. Some are not back up to former games just yet. But Courtney’s is well on the way!)

I have to admit that I wouldn't have picked this place on my own. I mean, first of all it was in a mall! How could it possibly be good??!!!
Well, I'm glad I was seeing and glad I got schooled!!!
We actually came here twice, second time was of my choosing 😬
So the first time we came we had the artichokes rachel which was unique and interesting, and yes it was really good too! Oh btw, they do serve fresh bread with this DELICIOUS pesto that I dare you to not try!!!
My entree was the chicken tuscany- I loved it!!! Their second are huge and I ate it again for a very filling lunch the next day. They somehow managed to make sure the chicken wasn't dry and tough which is what I fear with dishes that have chicken breast! Hubby got the shrimp St Maarten which , granted was really good too, but I just loved mine so much more!!!
Dessert was the brownie a la mode which just can't be anything but good!!!
The second time we came we stuffed our faces with that delicious bread and pesto obviously! We decided to get two appetizers and share one entree. We got the crab cakes and the Thai peanut shrimp. Loved the way the shrimp had been grilled!!! The peanut sauce was a good touch though I could've eaten them without it coz they were cooked so well!
The crab cakes were indeed lump crabcakes and were really good!!!
So I had ordered the veal oscar but they brought out the veal Courtney instead!! The server was insistent that I ordered it which was impossible because it has prosciutto in it which I don't eat! Anyway he did eventually bring out the veal oscar which came with rice because they were out of the baked potato I wanted. Now this was a DELICIOUS dish!! The lump crab was so flavorful!!! Usually it's just plopped onto a dish without seasoning but man, this was just too good!!!
For dessert I wanted the key lime pie to go but wish I had known that it wasn't your typical key lime pie!!! It was more like a cheesecake, and I wasn't that crazy about it! If you want really good cheesecake then you can get it at Doc Fords!!!
Btw Courtney's is the owners son and he also waits at tables there so you might get to meet him!
The food was superb! The sauces delicious! Jordon our waiter was so knowledgeable- efficient. Hold onto him- he was great!!
Had Veal Saltibucco. Outstanding. Ken did a superb serving. Others had Chicken Tuscany.
Excellent. Great restaurant with ambiance. Suggestion! Lower the lights.
Wonderful food and wonderful service. Would definitely come back when In Town. Chef is a delight and knows how to fo proper sauces to enhance the food.
Update to my last review: Nov 2023
Back again tonite. It’s season and time to try this place. I told Betty, if I post anymore reviews, people are going to think I’m a member of the family!
Try the million dollar bacon and shrimp appetizer, Yum. 4 shrimp, 2 pieces of bacon in a sweet and smoky glaze.
My husband had veal saltimbocca. If you like veal, my husband says it’s the best he’s ever had.
I had the special which was swordfish stuffed with crab and topped with shrimp, covered with Bernaise sauce.
They will be open and taking reservations for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Day, New Year’s Eve. Come celebrate it’s great!
This is our first time back since the hurricane, all redone. We couldn’t wait to get back. The food here is delicious and cooked to order.
This family owned business in Fort Myers deserves our support.
I was supposed to take pictures of the food, but we ate everything before we remembered.
Come and take your own!
The food is great which is why anyone goes out to dinner, but the staff is what made this 5 stars. I had the Surf and Turf which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Ravioli Sanibel which she raved about the next day to anyone within earshot. The staff was very attentive to all of our needs even with a mostly full dining room. Party of 4 with no alcoholic drinks with desserts was around 150.00 not including tip, but I got one of the more expensive dishes. We will be back on our next trip down. Thank you for a great evening.
