FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 3, 2025) – Luminary Hotel & Co. today announced the rebranding of its signature restaurant, formerly known as The Silver King Ocean Brasserie, to The Silver King Coastal Kitchen. Guests will find a menu rich with shareable tapas-style plates, vibrant entrées crafted with fresh, local ingredients, and a five-course chef’s tasting menu for those seeking a more adventurous dining experience. More than just a hotel restaurant, The Silver King Coastal Kitchen is a place where locals and travelers alike can gather over food that sparks conversation. The refreshed concept coincides with the hotel’s upcoming five-year anniversary, marking a new chapter for one of downtown Fort Myers’ most celebrated dining destinations.
“Fort Myers is a city shaped by exploration and storytelling, and we wanted The Silver King Coastal Kitchen to embody that same sense of adventure and connection,” said Joe Shurmur, General Manager of Luminary Hotel & Co. “By introducing Mediterranean-inspired plates, an engaging chef’s counter, and curated experiences like our monthly dinner series, we’re creating a restaurant that stands proudly as a destination in its own right, where locals and travelers will want to return to again and again.”
Inspired by the legendary tarpon – locally called the “Silver King” – and the tradition of sharing stories over great meals, the refreshed menu introduces Mediterranean-style small plates like Spanish Octopus, Gambas al Ajillo, and Red Snapper, complemented by a thoughtfully curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails. The restaurant also offers its signature chef’s counter experience, where Chef de Cuisine Zach Geerson curates a seasonally changing five-course tasting menu for adventurous diners eager to be surprised and delighted. “Our menu is moving in a fresh new direction, but the heart of The Silver King remains the same,” said Chef Zach Geerson. “Our hallmarks of excellence, teamwork, communication, innovation, thoughtfulness, and passion are stronger than ever. Those values guide us every day, and they’ll continue to define the dining experience as we open this exciting new chapter.”
The restaurant’s signature dining series, led by Geerson, celebrates creativity and seasonal flavors. The King’s Table features monthly themed menus with pairings inspired by celebrated food regions, with upcoming events, including Sake (Sept. 25), Scotland (Oct. 23). The Workshop Dinner Series, hosted in the hotel’s Culinary Theater, offers interactive themed dinners such as Oktoberfest (Sept. 10), Spooktacular (Oct. 8), Veteran’s Day (Nov. 11), and the Feast of Seven Fishes (Dec. 10).
The Silver King Coastal Kitchen welcomes guests Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. Guests can make reservations online or by calling (239) 207-4613.
