“ This is a new favorite when we are in town! Our group went as a group of 4. We did the early evening special with a couple of appetizers. Each couple did the 2 entrees and a bottle of wine special for 49. We all thoroughly enjoyed the house wines and the entrees. The short rib gnocchi was perfectly cooked. The mussels were to die for! I also cannot leave out Victoria our server. She was wonderful! She immediately connected with our table, had great rapport with our group and she was very attentive. Definitely ask for her! ”
“ Honestly the best pan seared salmon I have ever had the skin was perfectly crispy and the fish just fell apart with a touch of my fork. I can’t stress enough how amazing the risotto was it was so light and airy and creamy! We sat at the bar and had an amazing bartender who was attentive I never caught her name but she was wonderful to talk to. I can say with certainty that all our meals were absolutely amazing! We are 100% coming back! ”
“ LOVE! Great service, food, setting. The value is fantastic. Great happy hour. Indoor/outdoor seating available. 4 stars for atmosphere, they have the lights cranked up super bright, and it takes away from atmosphere. Also, very noisy. Still love despite this. But if you’re looking for romantic softer lighting for dinnnee it’s not happening. We even requested dimming and told not happening. Lovely bar crowd, very tiny bar though. Our Costco carries gift cards for here. 100 worth for 75 ”
“ Food and service were great. We were a group of 13 and they accommodated us wonderfully. ”
“ We come here every year we come to Naples. This year was not a disappointment again and the Lamb shanks were spectacular. The service was friendly and very cooperative. You can’t beat the early dining for 49 including an entree for two and a bottle of wine. One would think that for this price, your food would be a little substandard. Not the case here the food was exceptional and we will be back every chance we get when we come to Naples. ”
“ ** edit We hosted a large party event here and EVERYTHING was AMAZING!! ALL of my guests commented how spectacular of an event it was!! The event coordinator scheduled every last detail with us and made sure the entire dinner went PERFECT !! The remodel of the restaurant looks amazing!! If you are looking to host a private dinner you MIST call Tracey! ”
“ Food was great. The service was wonderful. Our server was really attentive. The bread before the meal was warm and crispy with butter. We went for Christmas Eve so the menu was limited, but great options. We got sea bass, chicken, pork chop, salmon and ribs. They were all loved by our guests. The brussel sprout appetizer was to diet for. The flourless chocolate cake was awesome and the burbon soaked bread pudding. ”
“ Great lunch, outside seating with wind screen. Good brunch menu on the weekend. ”
