This is an outdoor restaurant (under a canopy) on a marina close by the Gulf of Mexico. It is a beautiful setting. Good food, too. We met my friends Oren and Patty there for lunch. Patty is a friend from high school, so we go WAY back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oren and Patty have been &#8220;wintering&#8221; on Marco Island for years. This was probably my 4th or 5th visit with them down here in Florida. A lovely couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a mahi mahi sandwich which was terrific. I can&#8217;t recall what Marlene chose but I do recall dessert &#8211; a huge slice of the &#8220;famous&#8221; Island Gypsy carrot cake. It was $14 but was large enough for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the patrons waiting for a table was kind enough to get a photo of all four of us. Thank you, anonymous patron!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"12068\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155707-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The marina at Island Gypsy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"12069\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_155548-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Marlene, Oren, Patty and me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"12071\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230129_150327-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Marlene and dessert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago Marlene and I traveled an hour to the Island Gypsy Cafe in Isles of Capri FL.
