When you think of Southwest Florida and all it has to offer, there are always those places that are on the “where to go” and “where to eat” lists. Dining on Fifth Avenue is definitely on the “where to eat” list, and visiting Keewaydin Island just north of Marco Island is certainly a “where to go” destination.

Keewaydin’s on Fifth combines the two, giving diners a taste of laid-back island ambience on the prestigious Naples avenue. The restaurant’s decor is reminiscent of a five-star all-inclusive island resort, while the coastal cuisine tantalizes the taste buds, leaving diners craving more. Customers agree with exceptional reviews, making this restaurant on Fifth one to experience first-hand.

 Ideally situated at Sugden Plaza, Keewaydin’s is the perfect spot to enjoy nightly live music while dining or grabbing a meal before the show at the recently reopened Sugden Community Theater.

The menu embraces a tropical flavor inspiration that results in vibrant island flavors that incorporate sweet tropical ingredients such as plantains, passion fruit, and coconut. Chef-inspired seafood dishes and coastal favorites include ceviche salad, coconut shrimp, oysters, and one amazing grouper sandwich. The menu captures the island vibe and essence of the

Florida lifestyle.

 A stop is not complete without Keewaydin’s twist on Key lime pie: a creamy Key lime custard topped with a toasted Italian meringue and graham cracker crumbles. Other desserts include the creative and can’t-miss La Tierrita, consisting of layers of decadent chocolate mousse and chocolate cookie crumble with berry compote and vanilla Chantilly.

Reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner.
