"What the hell is a 'gastro pub'?" That's the question which has been on everyone's mind since our beloved Cin Cin Mediterranean Grille recently rebranded itself as the Cin Cin Gastro Pub. There are other questions, too. "Are there new owners? Did the chef leave? Has the menu changed?" But the one query I've heard most often is, "What the hell is a 'gastro pub'?" Southwest Florida wanted to know, so I just had to pay a visit to the Cin Cin Gastro Pub to find out. |

According to popular consensus, breakfast on Sanibel Island is a locked topic. The jury is in. You've got three options to choose from, a trio of Cafe's. The Lighthouse Cafe, the Sanibel Cafe, and the Over Easy Cafe.
Today I'm going to buck the trend, defy convention, shock my readers, and head to a breakfast spot on Sanibel which exists outside the holy trinity of bacon and eggs. Today I drive to Santiva, the small community where Sanibel meets Captiva, and take my sunrise chances at the Sunset Grill. |

At the heart of Captiva Island lies a bustling town square of sorts called Captiva Village. Home to quaint boutiques, colorful art galleries, al fresco dining, and a picturesque chapel...this is where the true community character of the island shines. This is where quirky meets chic. Where cheap tourists with sunburnt children bump up against the insane wealth of Captiva homeowners.
Smack dab in the middle of Captiva Village runs Andy Rosse Lane. This road runs the full width of Captiva Island, from the bay to the Gulf of Mexico, and acts as the epicenter of activity in the Village. It's laid-back. It's vibrant. It's tropical. It smells like fresh air, and salt water, and suntan lotion. This is the type of place vacation fantasies are made of.
Our focus today is the Mucky Duck, a destination restaurant located at the sunset end of Andy Rosse Lane. |

Hidden away in the posh Promenade shopping center in Bonita Springs is Roy's Hawaiian Fusion restaurant. For over eight years Roy's restaurant has been one of the premier destinations for special event dining in Southwest Florida. Birthdays. Engagements. Anniversaries. Graduations. Promotions. Whether you're welcoming someone home, sending someone off, celebrating your last day of a Florida vacation, or just want an all-around exceptional meal...Roy's in Bonita Springs has cultivated an enduring legacy as the ultimate place to enjoy vibrant food and celebrate special moments.
I decided to pay a visit to see if they were still rightfully honoring their longstanding traditions of carefully honed hospitality and cutting edge cuisine. |
