Tanglewood

Get ready to dig into some serious Southern comfort food! The newly remodeled Tanglewood – Southern Kitchen at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, Florida, is serving up all the Southern classics you know and love — with a fresh Florida flair.

I had the chance to attend their opening event with @coraincolor, and let’s just say — everything was amazing! From crispy fried green tomatoes to chicken and waffles and even gator jambalaya, the menu has something to please everyone at the table. Add in a fantastic drink and wine selection, and you’ve got a dining experience that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner with friends and family.

Bright, Casual, and Full of Flavor 

The newly renovated dining room is light, open, and full of warm Southern charm. Big windows bring in plenty of Florida sunshine and overlook the beautiful resort grounds — the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The restaurant’s casual yet refined vibe makes it ideal for any occasion, whether it’s a laid-back lunch or a family dinner after a day at the pool.

And here’s a little insider tip — you don’t have to be a hotel guest to dine here! So locals, this is your sign to make a reservation and experience some of the best Southern flavors in Bonita Springs.

Pro tip: Don’t skip the Gator Jambalaya — it’s hearty, flavorful, and absolutely worth the trip on its own!
