Agora Mediterranean Cuisine

Our first visit to Agora was triggered by a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FGroupon.com&s=3d66207072e27513e60dc78237a8b086644332131edcf09586a2588b0cb7a7f6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Groupon.com</a> coupon for $40 savings ($20 purchase price). Good or bad, we were saving $20.

Agoro was really great! The outside decor was typical old North Fort Myers feeling. Inside was very European feeling (I'm well traveled). The hummus was good (my girlfriend makes it better... I am bias). The salads were great. Homemade vinaigrette was delicious. I really wanted to taste a flavor that I had NEVER had before so I ordered the "Dustin Special" - aka: The Spicy Feta Pork chop. It was perfect. The roasted potatoes were perfect also.

My girl had the shrimp kabob and was delighted that they removed the stick for her. She loved the meal so much that she didn't want to finish so she could have the taste for lunch the next day (FYI: she NEVER does this).

Afterward, we took a very pleasant stroll past the other tiki type places along the waterway. One of the best dinner experiences we've had in Fort Myers. Also, Dustin was a great server and knew his stuff - we had a ton of questions! Good job D.

Well, we still love you, Agora, but a downgrade from my previously wildly enthusiastic 5 stars is clearly in order.

Our meals were OKAY, but not great. For example, the penne in my Penne Mediterranean was not al dente.

Our friend ordered a Horiatiki salad specifically because he loved the pepperoncinis that were listed on the menu to be in it. You guessed it - the salad came with NO pepperoncinis at all. He was majorly disappointed.

I asked for my Caesar Salad to have anchovies. It came with NO anchovies at all.

The waiter was nice, but clueless, and there must have been some disconnect in the kitchen. Service was slow. We entered at 6 pm and the entrees arrived at 7 pm.

We may return, but there are a lot of other good restaurants in Lee County and this place is across the bridge in North Fort Myers and not really all that accessible.
