What restaurants are open in SWFL

Hurricane Ian devastated Southwest Florida almost a year ago.
The major storm struck restaurants across the region hard.
Some have remained closed while others have returned. Still, others like Nervous Nellie’s on Fort Myers Beach are in the process of new construction to reopen their well-loved doors. The hope for the business is to open by Thanksgiving, according to an update posted on their Facebook page. Here is a list of restaurants that are now back open.
WINK News will update this list periodically.
If you would like us to list a restaurant once it is opened, please email us at digital@winknews.com.
