Another great dinner at Rae’s, this is our third time and never disappoints. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Our server Mandy was very engaging, attentive and made sure we had a great meal. As ever the views were great including the sunset. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A beautiful oceanfront location, above average food. The grouper was delicious and well cooked. The accompaniments were a little bland. The menu was somewhat limited although something from every category was available. The restaurant was full of a large family with babies and toddlers milling around so the experience wasn’t quite as nice as it could have been, no fault of the restaurant, just the particular time we happened to be there. The service was friendly, although our guy seemed like he needed a little more training. We would try it again maybe a little later next time.

Service prompt and pleasant. We were there for Valentine's Day and the 4 course fixed price menu was a little on the high side, but not unexpected. Food was excellent, especially the squid salad which had 2 whole baby squid, not the usual larger piece of squid tentacle. The main courses of 4 large scallops and also the beef fillet were cooked perfectly, while the shrimp on skewers was overcooked. Especially due to the wide spread destruction on the coast of Fort Myers Beach, it was amazing to find any restaurant operating with such quality.

We were excited to go to Rae’s while staying at Pink Shell. The food was delicious and serving sizes large. The servers were attentive. They were very accommodating with our son’s food allergy. Overall, a good experience.

The special catch of the day was outstanding, pasta shrimp dish was cooked perfectly, more shrimp than I could eat. Our waiter was perfect, friendly efficient but not too much. Manager stopped to make sure we were good. I Would go back for sure.
