The fresh catch of the day was mahimahi, as it often is, and we ordered it blackened as a sandwich ($12.49) with a salad instead of fries. The regular menu has not changed much over the years: Steamed and fried shellfish pots and baskets, fish platters and sandwiches, a burger and mesquitegrilled ribs are the mainstays. And no one will ask why so much uneaten food is left on the table when you leave. An entree salad could be generously portioned but be laced with greens that have gone limp from not being stored at the proper temperature. One fish fillet at your table might be fine, while another comes out overcooked and barely edible. I can’t speak for the other locations, but this Flamingo has grown noticeably lazy about maintaining the standards of quality it used to represent. If only the food were as consistently pleasing as the picturesque setting.
Herons wait hungrily on the dock for anglers to toss scraps from freshly filleted fish. Indoors or out, patrons can enjoy watching boats slip in and out of the docks with pelicans bobbing in their wakes. Pine Island’s Flamingo roost is the Four Winds Marina in Bokeelia, arguably the most appealing of the bunch because it’s actually situated on a waterfront. Kimmie’s Recovery Zone empowers and serves our community by providing multiple pathways of recovery support, designing wellness plans, public education, advocacy policies and resources to increase the quality of long-term recovery from mental health and substance use disorders.A Caesar salad is topped with mesquite-grilled grouper.For many years now, I’ve been lucky enough to live on another island that has its own Lazy Flamingo. These organizations facilitate recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and/or provide peer-based recovery support services. Kimmie's Recovery Zone is a recovery community organization (RCO), an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery. As a community service provided by Hope Healthcare, the program is offered at no charge to participants and care partners. Since launching in 2009, the Hope Parkinson Program has enabled more than 3,000 people in Lee County to experience the fullness of life through knowledge, movement and fellowship. The Hope Parkinson Program works closely with like-minded community organizations to provide a network of resources and education for people affected by Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. Net proceeds from this event will benefit each of our charitable partners. This year, the Fort Myers Track Club and our 3rd Annual Lazy Flamingo Half Marathon & 2-Person Relay have partnered with Hope Parkinson Program & Kimmie's Recovery Zone.
The Fort Myers Track Club actively participates to help raise nearly $300,000 in funds each year that go to local charities. The Fort Myers Track Club is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, established in 1978, that supports other local charitable organizations with the technical support in producing high-quality races and virtual events.
