High on my list of the top restaurants in Boca Grande are:

The Temptation: At 350 Park Ave., this is “Old Florida” at its best. This restaurant with a supper club feel, has a lovely dining room, bar, a second bar dining room and a rear dining room called the Caribbean Room. I would ask for the main, front dining room when you make your reservation. I loved my grilled pompano entree with sweet potato and tomato topped with cheese. Make sure to meet chef/owner Kevin Stockdale who is fun to visit with.
