In the middle of Estero Island, Bayfront Bistro has great views of the mangroves in what locals call the "back bay". Get there at dusk for the best chance of seeing dolphins at play. Or dine on the breezy, outdoor terrace for romantic views of the moon shimmering on the water. The food is consistent and fresh and the service spot on. Asian Calamari is a signature appetizer and Citrus Grouper is an entree favorite. The wine list has a good reputation and bartenders are adept at making classic cocktails. Bayfront sits above a marina so you can arrive by car or boat.

- Waterfront Dining: "Brunch served both Saturday and Sunday"
- Brunch: "Boaters can dock at the Snook Bright Yacht Club and Marina at the base of the restaurant."
- Beach Restaurants: "The view of a full moon rising over the water is exquisite here, you can see it from almost any table."
- Best for Waterfront Dining Because: Quiet and romantic with a beautiful view of the Estero Bay and its wildlife. Indoor and outdoor seating with an outstanding wine list.
- Best for Brunch Because: Saturday and Sunday brunch on the water is a mix of weekday faves and breakfast specialties, along with bottomless mimosas.
- Best for Beach Restaurants Because: The service, food and wine selection are among the best on the beach. Add the backdrop of the back bay and it's a home run.
