Very cute breakfast/lunch place. Restorative has kind of an earthy, hippy, dippy type of vibe. Indeed, there are plenty of items on the menu that are on the healthier side, but there is really something for everyone.
As soon as we sat down our server brought samples of the juice of the day. I don't recall exactly what it was, but it was fruit based, and my 15 year old ordered one. I ordered a veggie egg white omelet. Sounds simple but it was well prepared. The veggies were fresh , sautéed, and flavorful. The whole wheat toast was even good. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth a return visit.Helpful 10Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - May 25, 2019
5 stars because the food was so good and the service was prompt attentive and friendly.
We split the biscuits and gravy royale which is a homemade biscuit with an egg on top, sprinkled with cheese and covered in this perfect gravy and finished with crispy bacon crumbled on top. I would call it a county eggs Benedict.
We ended our meal with their homemade cinnamon roll and they do not skimp on the warm icing.
The atmosphere is cool casual. It is just wonderful to enjoy a simple meal here.Helpful 22Thanks 0Love this 18Oh no 0 - Shannon P.Manitou Springs, CO253Jun 28, 2021
Had the most delicious breakfast with my sister at Restoratives Cafe while visiting Estero. The Biscuits & and Gravy Royale was THE BEST b&g that I've ever had! Crispy biscuit+light and flavorful gravy +topped
Off with an over easy fried egg= HEAVEN. The handmade cinnamon roll and coffee were also 100%! We loved the service and atmosphere as well! I will not visit Estero again without visit this local gem! +Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 223707Jan 11, 2020
Went here on the recommendation of a friend I'm visiting in Estero. Kind of a hole in the wall in a strip mall on Tamiami Tr. Very nice staff and a great waitress!! The menu is somewhat limited for breakfast but that's OK if what they make is good, and it was. My waitress pointed out their smoothy of the day which was a mixture of fruits and veggies, it was delicious. I had a simple breakfast of eggs over easy, sausage and rye toast as there wasn't a lot of variety offered, as previously mentioned. Everything was nicely prepared and very good.
This place is kind of a healthy breakfast place with stuff like tofu, veggies, etc. But as you can tell from my order, it has meaty stuff too. This is a great place for groups who have vegans and carnivores in it. Me being the latter, I liked it!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jessica S.Morgantown, WV14529Jun 6, 2021
Very eclectic cafe. Food was delicious! The staff were all super nice. My daughter is a cinnamon roll lover and she thought this was one of the best she has had.

In this area this morning, walked in this cozy, homey and comfortable restaurant for an early lunch. The seating is limited but service is super friendly and accommodating. Meanwhile with Chalkboard signs, menus, and local artwork on the wall, this connived a warm environment for breakfast and lunch.
My friend recommended to try their torta sandwich and a smoothie or fresh squeezed juices. The beef torta is the best brisket sandwich I ever had! A juicy braised beef brisket on a warmly toasted hoagie roll with black bean puree, pickled jalapenos, melted Queso Blaco and sour cream make this an outstanding sandwich. The hoagie roll is crunchy and warm but soft inside!
A gentleman at the next table, slowly enjoyed his soup of the day, Chicken and Rice with a Reuben sandwich.
My original intention is to have fresh squeezed juice but at a whim changed my mind to a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. The ingredients include strawberry, banana, orange juice and a touch of honey in a smoothie style. It just hit the spot! What a great decision!
Will be back again and again!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - P B.Kansas City, MO018465Nov 25, 2021
Typically small local on businesses go out of their way to make customers feel welcome and are usually accommodating I experienced neither when I visited yesterday. Our waitress put out a vibe she would rather stay back behind the counter talking to the cook and seemed put out to have to come take our order. I asked if I could leave the meat off the order but just get a small side of gravy instead there was going to be an up charge to do that. So I was going to leave the most expensive item off the order and ask for some gravy and that was not possible. That kind of rigid Thanking drives me batty. The sample of fresh juice was very good the two eggs I got were fine but I can get two eggs anywhere with much better service.

So glad I made it to Restoratives Cafe this trip to Ft Myers! It's a cute little place that makes you feel at home!
Every day there is a unique juice blend. I couldn't tell you what was in today but it was delicious! I didn't have a smoothie today but they are available. I also ordered today's special that isn't on the menu. A Greek Chicken Pita that was fantastic. My group also had a Club Sandwich and the Turkey Meatloaf BLT. All received great reviews. The cole slaw has a yummy mustard flavor.
Our server had a great personality. She explained the menu and made recommendations. I will definitely be back next trip!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Katie G.Nashville, TN21119133Sep 28, 2018Updated review
Always love coming to restoratives. Cheeky environment, GREAT food (the Royale is fantastic) - last time I was here I got a breakfast "sandwich" and instead of bread, I got corn tortillas. Let me tell you, those tortillas made my breakfast AMAZING. Will definitely be getting those again.
Also, get a cinnamon roll. You'll be glad you did.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Aug 1, 2017Previous reviewThere are three reasons you should try restoratives:
1. It's not a chain.
2. Biscuits and gravy.
3. Cinnamon rolls.
It's good. Real good. The staff is friendly, and the environment is fun/clean. Definitely check these guys out.
