You will find all the usual US food chains in the locality including Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Outback Steakhouse, Sam Seltzers, TGI Fridays and the usual burger outlets. In addition there are many locally run restaurants where you will find a more individual dining experience.
In Englewood, among others, we have Nicola's Kitchen and Mama's which offer good down home Italian cuisine, The Gulfview Grill, Farlows on the Water and La Senza all of which offer a more up market menu and ambience, and some good fish restaurants such as The Fishery out at Placida Harbor or The Lock & Key on Englewood Beach
You can find local sports bars where you can watch a match on TV whilst you eat, or cafe/bars where you can hear some great live music as well.
All in all, every taste is catered for!
