slates

...cheese grits were rich, creamy and out of this world. the crawfish omelet had tons of flavor yet not too spicy and the pancakes were a fluffy delight. add to that agreatshrimp, bloody mary, live music and outstandng service. what a gem.

fantastic fusion of nola and the caribbean!. slates is new (late 2013) restaurant in cape coral and it was needed! it joins the small handful of venues that are worthy of taking visitors our for agreatmeal.

our party of four had four different main courses and all were top notch. balance of flavors and textures was well executed in this fusion of new orleans, creole and caribbean cuisines.

from greeting to paying the check, the staff was appropriately attentive, new the menu,made good suggestions and added the personal touch as the chef visit the table!
cape locals, you won't be disappointed!

we know that the snowbird season keeps any restaurant alive (including those that shouldn't) support slates in the off season, we need many more venues of this high caliber.

great experience!!!. heard through the grapevine that agreatnew restaurant had opened in cape coral...went friday night to check it out...so impressed...great decor.. fabulous jazz music...four of us showed up with no reservation..was told by a very charming hostess they were pretty full but if we wanted to wait at the bar she would try to get us a table...and barely 2 sips into our champagne cocktail she did...the waiter wasgreathe described the cajun dishes and specials and guided us through an amazing dinner. started with crab cake appetizer and fried oysters then shared a grilled ceasar salad...all were perfect
then came the heat...new orleans alfredo extra spicy with shrimp chicken and andouille sausage over fettucini alfredo, and i had shrimp and crawfish ettouffee which was a little different than im used to ..but was out of this world good...dont even remember what our friends orded..catch of the day or scallops but they were very happy...alll in all 5 stars
