Mornings With Gina Birch

Southwest Florida’s annual Sizzle Dining event kicked off September 5th and continues to lure hungry diners into restaurants from Marco to Sanibel Island. I’ve been doing my part to support the cause. Here is a peek at my Sizzle Dining stop at Taberna Ole in Fort Myers

What Is Sizzle Dining

This regional dining event is intended to support local restaurants during what is traditionally the slowest time of the year for them. To lure diners, more than 100 restaurants all over Southwest Florida are offering pre-fix menus ranging from $19 to $59 for two, three and four-course meals.

So far, I’ve had lunch at Bicyclette Cookshop in Naples, and I still think about that dessert. Photos and more info here. Also, Stones Throw in Cape Coral. Those photos and menu info are here.

Sizzle Dining Stop At Taberna Ole In Fort Myers

I’m trying to visit as many places as possible for Sizzle Dining, the latest being Taberna Ole in Fort Myers. The Spanish restaurant is in an obscure strip mall on US 41 between Crystal and College Parkway. They recently brought in a new chef, and I wanted to see what had changed.

This is the special Sizzle Dining menu from Taberna Ole in Fort Myers. Three courses with multiple choices depending on your likes.

The 3-course menu was $29, however, there were several item selections that came with an upcharge.

Sizzle Dining runs through September 25th. Not only is it an affordable way to try a new restaurant or visit an old favorite, but you also help a charity in the process. $1 of each meal sold is donated to Blessings in a Backpack which helps feed food insecure children.
