Catch Bistro & Wine Bar in Shropshire

Only one word: perfect place!!!

Delicious! Caden was great, perfect service.

Extremely loud, too expensive for the quality and the charm of a train station inside! Hardly mined! 4 scallops for 45.00 (plus 22% tip) is far too expensive, even if they tasted quite good.

Jonathan is one of the best servers we have ever experienced. Great guy.

Johnathan was such a kind server and treated us so good, food came out amazing and didn’t wait long at all. The seafood was amazing everything was fresh. Def going back again!!

Jonathan was the best! Great service. Very personable. Can’t say enough about him.

First timers, very impressed! Wyatt and Jonathan were a great team!

Jonathan was amazing and we had a wonderful meal

Jonathan is the man. 5/5 will definitely be back!

Food was fantastic and Jonathan was great. The carrot cake was to die for!

Jerry and Tom took great care of us while dinning for dinner.

Had a wonderful meal at Fresh Catch Bistro last week! Our server was very friendly and helpful, and overall the staff was fantastic. The spiced & cranberry crusted grouper was amazing! So glad you are open. We’ll be back very soon!

Best meal I had in town! Location is beautiful and the food is amazing. I am Gluten free and had no problems finding something to eat. This is the perfect place for date night. Shout out to Jonathan who was extremely friendly and gave us recommendations on what yummy food to try. Get the Shrimp Mediterranean, you will not be disappointed.

We have been coming to Fresh Catch for years and as always it was wonderful. Jonathan our server was in top of everything and made sure to make this a great evening.

Dined here for our Mom’s birthday and Iva made it so special. She was so welcoming and cared about our dining experience!! Shining bright star!!

Mary Ann is the best! She helped explain the menu & helped with gluten free options. Food was exceptional & sitting by the water was fantastic

What a great atmosphere and view. The miso teriyaki sea bass was really good, and the service we received from Jonathan was even better.

The food was immaculate and Johnathon was a fantastic waiter. He took extremely great care of us! Would highly recommend!

Our server, Jonathan was amazing

I had the Cranberry Crusted Grouper on rice. I'm telling you what, I've lived in Ft Myers for almost 5 years and this meal was the top one or two I've had since I've moved here! The flavor and freshness was unmatched. I can't wait to go back again. Wow, we so enjoyed ourselves! My bride had the Mediterranean Shrimp and she really enjoyed her meal as well. Awesome!

What an amazing evening out. A true gem, for sure. The food was spectacular. Our service was exceptional!! And by far, the absolute best Old Fashion I have ever had! Most of them are too sweet for my palate, but the one at Fresh Catch Bistro was one to remember, for sure.

Went there last night for our first time to celebrate my 50th birthday dinner with my wife . We made reservations in advance ( which I highly recommend if you want a good seat with a view ) Ordered the dozen oysters as an appetizer , they were a bit chewy , not my normal style that I like . The fresh bread that they serve was excellent, the drinks 🍸 that we got were spot on very tasty . The main dishes were perfectly cooked & very tasty, loved them both . The waitress gave me a free piece of cake to take home . We will go back again .

It was mine and my husbands anniversary- I made reservations 2 weeks ago bit when we showed up I was not on the list but they quickly accommodated us to a nice quiet table and we had great food and drinks- the staff was friendly and very nice restaurant quality food!!! -

FRESH CATCH BISTRO is a must for dinner Food phenomenal. Server Tom excellent. View and atmosphere extraordinary 😋 😋 😋 😋

Fantastic food and service. We got grilled salmon and grilled scallops.

Went on 8/10 for our 28th anniversary dinner and I was so disappointed. I had the Grouper Oscar with blue crab on top. It smelled so fishy. I'm a local and came here just for the "FRESH" fish. I think the chef also knew it smelled fishy and then covered it in salt. My husband had the Steak and it was so chewy and over cooked. Our server was friendly and the drinks were good along with the view but after that fish experience(the only fine dining on the island with fish the reason we went) I won't be back.

went there on Wednesday for ladies night special Which meant all drinks for the ladies were at happy hour prices all night. We sat at the bar and were handed a price menu for their normal drinks. when questioned about the ladies specials they said that their hands are tied and that the owner decided not to honor it It must be noted that I called on the phone prior to our arriving to see if the Wednesday night ladies special was still in effect and was told yes it was When asked to see the manager The woman that came to talk to us said there’s nothing she can do about it if we wanted happy hour drinks we would’ve had to been there for happy hour. We did arrive there at 6 o’clock, but it was posted online and they even handed me the special for the trio lobster salad Sliders Along with the Tuesday through Friday specials. there’s also a guys night out on Thursdays ….. I wonder if they’re going to honor that one We walked out without ordering anything Of note - my friends and I love this place, but this time were treated so disrespectfully that we will never return again. Very sad

Check out the meaning of "fraud". They misrepresented an advertised special. Beware

The best cranberry pecan grouper, fried shrimp light batter a 10. Drinks a 10!best martinis on the beach. My favorite on SWF!

The interior of the restaurant is beautiful! Our server was excellent (I wish I could remember his name). The food was amazing (I had the Shrimp Mediterranean). Jerry goes from table to table, just to make sure that everyone is happy. Ask him about his John Wayne story!

Excellent food and drinks. Service was great

Great service and location. Wonderful views of the back bay. Excellent food and drink in an intimate setting. All staff are welcoming and helpful.

Service was wonderful very attentive and courteous food was delicious and good portions definitely going back

Everything was spectacular from drinks to food and especially the service- Ask to be seated in Jonathan’s section. He was the best!!!! Thanks Jonathon for the wonderful service and the laughter!

Service & food were great. Nice view of the bay.

Once again, Fresh Catch proves to be the best on FMB. Great food. Great drinks. Great value. And great service; our server Jonathan was wonderful! We’ll be back in a few days!!

Loved everything about this place!!!❤️

You won’t find a finer establishment on FMB!

After many visits this was so dissapointing after looking forward to returning post Ian. I'll start by saying the space is gorgeous overlooks the bay, great. Ends there. Off putting server. You could tell he didn't want to be bothered. It was like pulling teeth getting suggestions, specials- there were none...weird. no bread service until we asked where it was after seeing other tables get it well after our appetizer. My fish was fishy. I mean it reeked and it tasted just as bad as it smelled. Potato was cold. The only good thing, the carrots in the veg and the chowder. My companion did not like the drinks. 2 attempts and they weren't the same. That meal was ok but she finished quick and left as the awkward tone had been set.

Had to make a reservation. I got the Miso teriyaki Sea bass. The fish was really good, well cooked, but the sauce was very overpowering. With such good fish I was surprised because you can't really taste the sea bass over the sauce(very sweet and rich).

Update no line in summer! Even though it's great I hate to give them a good rating lol. There is already a huge line waiting to get in for happy hour.

Food was so amazing. The staff were great. We are going back a second time for dinner while we are here! Jerry was great and so was our waiter!

The happy hour offerings, available from 2:30 to 4:30 pm, were exceptional. We visited with our five-year-old daughter and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The restaurant exudes an upscale ambiance and offers a picturesque view of the bay. Our daughter enjoyed the provided coloring page, allowing us to relax and savor the moment. The menu featured a diverse selection of dishes, and the portions were notably generous. This establishment proved to be an excellent choice for lunch.

We have a house mid-island and always take big groups to fresh catch and formerly Bay Front. The location is perfect for us and we usually have great service. Last night we arrived with a party of 16. We were seated at two separate tables. The main waitress immediately started questioning how we were going to split the bills. We wanted to split bills by couples. The waitress rolled her eyes and looked at the other waitress and said “they want to separate their bills by couples, but they’re at separate tables.” We always come in with big groups. This is the first time we have been seated at separate tables. This really shouldn’t have been an issue, I feel all of this could’ve been worked behind the scenes. Do individual tabs and then figure out who the couples are at the end. The main waitress was snotty and rude to the women at the women’s table, and when she was trying to figure out the bills at the end was rude to my husband who wanted to pay for four people. Again, this is a nice enough restaurant they should be able to accommodate, and make things as seamless as possible. The other waitress was great! No problem there. She should’ve been the one trying to close out her tabs. She had a positive can-do attitude and was very professional.

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've tried in Fort Myers. The staff were kind and all of the food was great. I am definitely going back again.

Hands down best high end local restaurant! We were visiting from out of town and this gem was recommended as a one-off from the local and well known options. Everything about the experience was 100% perfect! A little pricey but the portions are very large. We took half of our order to go and enjoyed the left overs :). Our favorite romantic dining venue on the island!

Wonderful experience! Great Staff and Manager! Already planning to come back soon. Kind staff, nice atmosphere, and great food. Definitely worth the visit!

Seasoned diner here. Incredibly surprised from start to finish. Drinks were top shelf, sizable and appropriately priced. Appetizers were creative and delicious - not the same old pedestrian fare. Dinner was in a word… delicious. Service was genuine and spot on. Plus, and incredibly wonderful waterfront setting. Seriously, folks… you will be VERY pleased.

Just what we were looking for! My wife and I were going on a Sunset Sail and had a few hours to have dinner. Although there were plenty of highly rated restaurants near by, they were all pub fare and fried foods. We found this gem and we weren't disappointed. We got in at 4:30 and were pleased to see an Early Bird dinner menu. For $29 I was fed an absolutely amazing stuffed Whitefish a wonderfully thick Clam Chowder and 2 sides. My wife is Whole Plant based Vegan and the server was more than accommodating. Her Salad was a beautiful meal.Sitting on the second floor gives a relaxing view of the mangroves across the way. Don’t miss this if you only have a few nights here!

Our food was good, service great, beautiful setting on the bay.

Not the most attentive waitress. Food was good, not great.

I took my friend for his birthday. We sat for 35 minutes without anyone approaching us for drink or food order and then we left. Embarrassing.

Very fun, great team, quick, social

Incredible food, the pesto and bread are too die for. The shrimp Mediterranean was fantastic! My server Hillary made the meal! Her suggestions were on point and made for a pleasurable dining experience! I recommend this place highly if you love seafood!

I love this place and the food is fabulous. Mar Ann was our server and we love her

Between Jonathon and Jerry for the service I can’t say enough. For a community trying to rebuild itself I can say that they didn’t skip a beat. Get the grouper…anything grouper because it’s fresh. Great food, great atmosphere, great service.

The atmosphere was amazing. The service was okay. I had the grouper Francese it was flavorless and mostly pasta. Hubby had prime rib -so so. Atmosphere was great. It food didn’t get it done

Our meal was fantastic except for the Grouper Francese!!!! The manager and the Chef didn't seem concerned about the tasteless dish that was an embarrassment to this otherwise wonderful restaurant! The clam chowder was great, the scallops wer phenomenal, the Grouper Francese was sub par at best. Eat at Fresh Catch but don't order the Grouper Francese!!!

I was very disappointed with my experience at Fresh Catch. To begin our server was also the bartender and we rarely saw her. It took her so long to bring us our food and drinks that I had to flag down someone else to assist. I asked for a margarita and an old fashioned and it tasted like premade mix. For the price of the drinks I expected a freshly made drink. Our food was disappointing. The prime rib dinner tasted like something you would eat at a cheap banquet hall. It was so chewy and lacked flavor. The risotto dish tasted like straight mustard it was unsettling. At the end of our meal we were overcharged and we had to flag down someone to assist us in changing the bill. I’ve been to Fresh Catch when it was located on the beach and had great service and food. I expected the same at the new location. I will not be returning to this new location.

Although you don't have the beach outside, you have a wonderful back bay to see. Outstanding food!!

Excellent food, beautiful view!

We had such an enjoyable 75th birthday celebration for our aunt. Kris, our server, was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She really made the occasion very memorable.

Absolutely fantastic. Service from the front to back was great. Thank you Jerry and Oscar for a wonderful wedding anniversary dinner. Scallops for me and steak for the wife both cooked to perfection. Chocolate cake was so good we forgot to get the picture until after we had some bites. :)

The food reminded me of something you’d get at a wedding. Super average and not worth the price. Service was mid, bill came out wrong (although it was corrected without a problem). The margarita my fiancé ordered tasted like it was premade, although we were told it wasn’t. The old fashioned was nothing special. Came out with a massive straw in it? Never seen an old fashioned served with a long green straw, at least not at a nice place with nice cocktails. Save yourself the trip, go somewhere else.

Review: My recent experience at Fresh Catch Bistro left me utterly disappointed and frustrated. After carefully selecting a restaurant with minimal walking distance from the drop-off point for my mother, who has difficulty walking, we arrived with hopeful anticipation. Upon entering, my mother was pleased to find that she could easily walk to the elevator, and there was a seat conveniently located just outside on the 2nd floor in the lobby of the restaurant. However, our expectations quickly turned to disbelief and dismay when we encountered resistance from the hostess. Despite explaining our situation and my mother's mobility issues, we were met with indifference. The hostess suggested seating around the bar, which had steps, and mentioned a lift halfway through the building. I pointed out that even if my mother managed to reach the lift, only high-top tables were available there. Frustrated by the lack of understanding, I requested to speak with a manager. What followed was not just disappointing but downright appalling. The manager flatly refused to accommodate my mother's handicap, citing the absurd reason that allowing her to sit there would set a precedent for everyone else. His response was not only insensitive but also blatantly rude. Feeling outraged and insulted by his callous attitude, I expressed my frustration, which unfortunately led to a heated exchange. The manager's unprofessional behavior escalated to the point where he confronted me aggressively, yelling at me in my face, inciting a scene in front of other customers and staff. What made the situation even more bewildering was the fact that there were 30-plus empty tables just a few feet away. It was incomprehensible why the manager adamantly refused to accommodate my mother when there were plenty of available options nearby. It's disheartening to witness such a lack of empathy and basic management skills, especially when dealing with a handicapped person. The manager's power trip overshadowed any chance of resolving the situation amicably. Instead of finding a simple solution and ensuring customer satisfaction, he chose to engage in a needless confrontation. In conclusion, my experience at Fresh Catch Bistro was marred by the manager's inability to handle a straightforward request with tact and professionalism. It's evident that there are significant shortcomings in the management of this establishment, and I hope they take steps to rectify such behavior in the future.

This was the best choice of Ft. Myers Beach, our Pecan Crusted Grouper was the Best. The service provided by Kris was amazing please ask for her as your server. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Mary Ann was fantastic! Food was great. Key Lime is the best in FMB

It was great to be back in Ft Myers Beach to celebrate a birthday weekend

Fantastic as always! My wife and I were here a few weeks ago, but finally getting around to writing a review. Fresh Catch Bistro has always been a “must go” during our yearly vacations to Fort Myers Beach. This was our first time at the new location, and while it’s obviously very unfortunate they had to relocate, I honestly think it was a huge upgrade! The decor and view of the bay are perfect. Onto the dinner… we were here to celebrate my birthday and arrived about an hour before our reservation. The hostess informed us they were able to sit us if we were ready, but we were in no rush and wanted to relax at the gorgeous bar with a cocktail or two before dinner. They told us to take our time and let them know when we were ready. The bartender, Kyle, did a great job with the signature martini’s. Once we were ready they seated us in a very cozy booth facing the windows/bay. Our server, Mary Ann , was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. My wife had the crab cakes and I had the gumbo for starters… both were excellent. Mary Ann waited for us to tell her when we were ready for her to place our entrees. With a special night out it was so nice to not feel rushed and be able to enjoy every aspect of the evening. For dinner we both had the Miso Teriyaki Sea Bass (my wife’s favorite meal on the island). I typically never order seafood for dinner (as I really don’t like fish at all), but this is the one and only exception. It was outstanding as always! For dessert they brought us a complementary piece of chocolate cake, but we also ordered the salted caramel cheesecake, because it’s that good. Once the meal was over they gave me a birthday card with a special gift inside. That was an unexpectedly nice touch to end the perfect night out! I can’t recommend this place enough… which I honestly do to anyone who visits the island. Salute

Great food, great service. Maryanne and Lauren were great servers! We had a large group and they were awesome.

Marry Anna and Lauren were amazing so friendly!

Thanks for the amazing evening, Maryanne and Loren!!!

Mary Ann and Lauren were incredible and such sweethearts. I wish I was in Ft Myers for longer so I could go here a bunch more! Will definitely return when I can.

Mary Ann and Lauren took great care of us. Great food great view.

Super nice, downstairs bar area is very casual bur upstairs at the resturant is a little more upscale and perfect for dinner with friends or just a special night out.

Really great Mahi mahi, loved everything about it

The service and food were amazing. our server Brandon was extremely kind and helpful. The service was very efficient and overall service was just really wonderful . I was with a group of 10 and everyone had the same sentiments . Every dish I tried was 10/10.

Gerry is a special addition to the Sunday happy hour. Always a great story, and a smile. Adds just the right amount of sophistication, while keeping it casual. Milda took great care of us, and was very pleasant. Beautiful venue!!!

Best seafood in southwest Florida. MaryAnn did a great job taking care of us. Will be back again!

Best table in the house! Lacey was our server and we wanted for nothing. Five star service, she was purely delightful, attentive, and friendly!!! We will be back 💯

My wife and I have visited Fresh Catch multiple times over the years and we have always found it to be outstanding. Their new location at Snook Byte Marina may be a tad smaller than the original location on the beach but the view and the ambiance can’t be beat. The food and beverage selection are second to none and the quality is top shelf. The staff is well trained and very professional. Happy hour is very popular so it’s best to get there early! Definitely a “must do” while at Fort Myers Beach.

Absolutely amazing staff, atmosphere, food, and views! Marianne was an outstanding server. She was so kind and incredibly knowledgeable about the food and drinks. She took the time to find out about what we liked and made the perfect recommendations for all of us.

Perfect evening for girls last night I. Ft Meyers. Great service. Fii wonderful!

Love that Jerry is back. Food continues to be phenomenal. And the martinis never fail. Thanks for being open and welcoming!! 🍸

Dining here was a chore. The food was hit and miss. Crab cakes were off with a spoiled taste. My son’s steak was overcooked. That can happen but the service was the killer. A nice enough server but basically ignored us, having items cleared was half done. Getting new drinks was at request as they were only available when the server finally chose to come back to us. The check was the quickest action of the servers night as she was very attentive in picking it up almost before we were done signing it. It felt like we were being kicked out. I am fairly easy to please as i am in the restaurant business so it hurts to say that anything was sub par. If you’re looking for a high end dining experience, this isn’t it.

Always a great time and amazing service at Fresh Catch Bistro! We’ve been coming here for years and have been loyal customers. It was a nice surprise to see Jerry today at their new location, post hurricane Ian and feeling welcome by him with open arms! It’s a great family atmosphere and always delicious food!

From Kentucky. 2nd time here in a week. Love everything about this restaurant. Food is top shelf, atmosphere is great, we’ll be back!!!

Maryann (our server) and Jerry (the manager) were wonderful and our meal was fantastic! We loved dining outdoors with a water view and a beautiful breeze! Service, food, and view were first rate!

Great experience. We're new to the area and felt right at home! Mariann did a great job and quite pleasant.

Once more, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner here. Becci gave us wonderful service, always with a smile. We feel so fortunate to have Fresh Catch right next door!

Becky was our server and she was absolutely amazing in every way! She has the ability to serve a demanding atmosphere with grace and super attention to detail! The cocktails and food backs up Becky’s service tremendously so there you have it a Florida supper club dining vibe!! This dinner was unexpected and scrumptious.

Jerry and Milda are the best! Excellent service!

Our waitress, Lacy, was the best! We had a wonderful dinner. The escargot was delishish followed by day boat scallops and shrimp mederterainian. The chocolate cake is to die for along with the chocolatini and the bread with dipping sauce. Thank you Lacy for a wonderful evening!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. I ordered the spiced pecan crusted grouper and it was absolutely delicious. I can definitely recommend Fresh Catch if you're in the area and looking for a great place for seafood.

Great place, great hospitality, amazing food!

Walked into this restaurant, as the one below was over an hour wait. We were seated in the bar area as it was “open”. Waitress was very nice, atmosphere was good, and the food was fantastic!

Our party of 6 tried several items from the menu and all were delicious. We were able to make some substitutions too! Special thanks to Neal for a wonderful table and Milda for such attentive service!

Great atmosphere and great food! We had Kris as our server and she was awesome! We all enjoyed dirty martinis that were perfectly salty and our favorite octopus appetizer. We had a great meal! Highly recommend.

Maryann was phenomenal and a very attentive server! Our food overall was delicious, with the sea bass and Mediterranean shrimp as stand outs. Highly recommend sitting outside and getting one of Maryann’s tables!

For the second time the mahi was rather dry. Our server Maryann was personable and did a great job and was informative and friendly.
