Many of you have asked about the fire last weekend at the popular Island Cow restaurant.  Sadly, the landmark Sanibel establishment, which has been a staple for residents and visitors alike for more than 20 years, experienced extensive fire damage in an after-hours incident.  Gratefully, no-one was hurt.

This is the official update from the eatery’s owners:

The Island Cow is currently closed following a fire that started in our kitchen after we had closed for the evening. Thankfully, no one was injured, and we are committed to renovating and reopening as quickly as possible. On behalf of our Island Cow family, we want to thank everyone for their ongoing support while we close temporarily for repairs.

Update: Thank you for your concerns. None of our iguanas were harmed. They will be enjoying a Sanibel staycation until we rebuild.
