Traders Restaurant on Sanibel

Probably one of the best seafood meals we've ever had. This place is amazing. Came in as part of our 30th anniversary trips beautiful facility with open air dining. Server Hannah was phenomenal. We had the artesian bread which was excellent along with the Parmesan crusted Sea Bass and the stuffed shrimp. Both were out of this world. We are only here for 3 days and may have to go back again this trip. It was just that great.

Doesn’t add up for me. Lunch was good. Ordered burger well done, delivered slightly pink. Chicken salad sandwich and Cesear side salad good. Not impressed with our server. Asked him what the side salad included and he handed me the menu again and said it’s in the menu. I didn’t want to read the menu again, just wanted a verbal. He was standoffish and seemed a little aloof. For $72 lunches for two expect more. Won’t return.

Sanibel island staple. I’ve taken friends from Miami here. Love the staff. Quality and consistent dishes. Simple menu with nice specials. I love the short rib and chicken parm with red pesto. Good bread and quality desserts. Shop basically included is fun to look around it plus good for gifts. I’ve gotten my mom a few pieces of jewelry and sweaters from there.

A favorite lunch spot of mine. I haven’t been here for dinner in ages, but judging by the quality of my lunch experience, I would imagine dinner is as good if not better. Today we had grilled chicken over Caesar salad and half a club sandwich with an amazing New England clam chowder. The food is always perfectly prepared and the staff is always helpful and smiling!

Easily accessible from the Main Road Periwinkle Way, plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The Restaurant was clean and well staffed by friendly employees, Restrooms were also available and clean. The Restaurant has something for everyone. Our food was prepared as requested and the portions were ample. The Drinks were also done well. The prices were fair.
