Coldwater Oyster Market

Cold Water Oyster Market in Fort Myers was such a nice surprise for lunch after being near PopStroke. I wanted something a bit more upscale and this place nailed it. I had the lobster roll, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had — buttery, full of lobster, and the fries were crisp and seasoned just right. Then I tried the salmon risotto, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, the food came out quick, and everything felt worth the price. Highly recommend this spot.

Coldwater Oyster Market is hands-down one of the best dining spots in Fort Myers, and it’s our go-to every time we’re in the area. The food is consistently outstanding, with their fresh, expertly shucked oysters stealing the show—each one bursts with briny, clean flavor from both East and West Coast varieties. The craft beer selection is equally impressive, featuring a rotating lineup of 44 taps with local Southwest Florida brews that pair perfectly with the seafood-driven menu. One dish we can’t stop raving about is the cast iron scallops with risotto. The scallops are seared to a perfect golden crust, tender and buttery, while the creamy risotto underneath is rich and perfectly balanced—a combination that never fails to wow us. Beyond the food, what sets Coldwater apart is its welcoming,

WOW! The Lobster Roll and the Ahi Tuna egg rolls were absolutely amazing!! Marina was a fantastic server as well

Hands down the best oysters in town! I tried the Smoke n Thyme cocktail—while it was a bit on the pricier side, it was absolutely worth it. Honestly, it's one of the best whiskey drinks I’ve ever had, easily rivaling a $30 cocktail in Vegas. Jasmine was a amazing waitress make the whole experience an 5 stars. Thanks you Jasmine and everyone at Coldwater oysters for a great birthday.

We tried this restaurant for the first time last night, and we will definitely be back! I got the blackened cod and I can honestly say that it was one of the best meals I’ve had at a restaurant recently. The others in our party ordered the kids’ grilled cheese, the bbq chicken, fish and chips, and the swordfish. Everything was delicious! The service was excellent as well.
