A nice experience. We began in the speakeasy for a cocktail which was very nice and then moved to the front to dine. Cozy, intimate and a nice night out. Food and service were very good. Wine selection was okay. Our servers, both in the lounge and dining room were very attentive without being intrusive. All the dishes were done well - both entries, salmon and skirt steak, were done very well. We will be back.

Absolutely amazing experience at Rose Mediterranean! The ambiance is beautiful—there is honestly nothing else even close to it in Cape Coral. The food was outstanding. We started with the souvlaki, then had the carbonara pasta and sea bass for dinner, and everything was excellent. We were way too full for dessert, so we went for a walk and actually came back later for dessert, an after-dinner drink, and to enjoy the amazing live entertainer. The service was great as well. The owner personally came over to introduce himself and make sure we were happy with everything, which was a very nice touch. Definitely our favorite place in Cape Coral. We had such a great evening and already can’t wait to go back!

We love dining outside at Merricks! The reggae live music is so relaxing to listen to while dining outside. The seafood salad is an excellent appetizer and the grouper picatta is out of this world! Service was great this time around as they had more staff to tend to the increasing amount of diners this time of year that's starting to climb. Always a pleasure to see everyone's smiling faces. Such a good vibe.
