Well done: Restaurant known for steaks wins major wine award

The shift to add a new dimension to Charley’s, a Fort Myers Beach steakhouse and seafood restaurant, began months before the pandemic. Now restaurant officials hope the move — to create a world-class wine selection — pays off as eateries across the region scramble for an edge in getting customers to return.

“Our beef selections are great, our seafood selections are great and we are really well-known for our salad bar,” says Hannah Oliver, director of revenue at Charley’s, officially called Charley’s Boathouse Grill & Wine Bar. “We also want to become well-known for a wonderful wine selection.”
