On Tuesday, August 2nd, Corner Spot Diner + Drink officially opened for business off of Bonita Beach Road in Bonita Springs.  Located at 4450 Bonita Beach Road, it’s in the corner spot of the L-shaped plaza anchored by C Level Restaurant & Cocktail Bar. This unit had been occupied by Sharkies Pizza Pub for the past 6 years.

Corner Spot Diner + Drink

With classic recipes like meatloaf, casseroles, Mason jar pies and cobblers, the restaurant aims to transport guests back to a simpler time. According to chef-owner Noel Willhite, the concept is Vintage-Traditional-Americana, and everything will be made from scratch, in-house, using local ingredients to showcase seasonal changes. To pair with your home-cooked meal, Corner Spot will also be shaking and stirring up vintage, prohibition-era cocktails. The diner also sells fresh bread and pastries.

Chef Willhite was the former general manager of 2 Marlin’s Brewhouse locations in Fort Myers. Prior to that, he was a chef at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point and has held numerous other kitchen positions in food towns like Chicago, Washington D.C., Las Vegas and even Maui!
