Sweet Melissa’s Restaurant is an award-winning, fine dining culinary destination located in Fort Myers, Florida, helmed by the critically acclaimed and James Beard Award-nominated Chef Melissa Donahue. Originally a beloved 14-year staple on Sanibel Island, the restaurant successfully relocated to the mainland following the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Today, it delivers an inventive, chef-driven menu combining classic American cuisine with a sophisticated, modern Southern twist inside a beautifully laid-out, contemporary space.
