While restaurants come and go with sometimes dizzying speed, Café de Marco came and stayed. The eatery is celebrating 29 years on Marco Island, under the same ownership and in the same location.
The menu is heavy on seafood dishes, as befits a restaurant on a tropical island. Meat lovers have a number of tempting choices, and only vegetarians are likely to feel constrained, with a single “vegetarian’s delight” plus salads from which to choose.
