   I made reservations for my daughter and her husband while they were visiting. When I asked how everything was they said 10/10 for everything. They had a great night. Thank you

   We always enjoy our dining experience at Bistro 821! We have been coming here since 2011 , are year-round residents and love the ambiance and the fabulous food choices! Sitting outside on the sidewalk, enjoying the 5th Ave view is incredible! One of the best choices for dining in Naples!

   The bistro is always a great go to when you don’t have reservations at a moments notice. They seem to always get you in, and the service is great, we’ve had the same server numerous times, and he does a fabulous job. I always get the grilled prawns, and they are delicious.

   In town on vacation. Bistro 821 was highly rated on OpenTable so we booked a reservation. I almost never say that a restaurant where 2 people spend $300 for dinner has 5 star value, but this place does. Incredible meal all around! Matthew - our server - was the 2nd best server I have ever seen. The best was me 40 years ago when I was serving tables to put myself through college. Matthew is highly attentive, can read the table, articulate & never asked us a question when our mouths were full of food. The ambiance is wonderful. It was (is) loud, but the place was full & at one point they were stacked 3 deep at the bar. So, the noise level is bound to be high. Whether visiting Naples or you live in Naples, Bistro 821 MUST be on you dinning list.

   Always a wonderful eating experience here. Whether it be happy hour or table dining it has not disappointed us. Scallops cooked perfectly as was the salmon. The lobster tail is divine. The calamari appetizer was delicious on its own even without the two sauces provided. One spicy and one traditional. The small spinach salad was more than plentiful with a lovely warm bacon V/O dressing. Cudos Bistro 821.

    Have been here before and it’s a solid offering on 5th in Naples. Went this time for my wife’s birthday. Noted as such on reservation, but was never recognized. Strong menu, consistent prices for area (expensive). Good vide and busy. Service is always terrific. There are lots of staff and they are constantly watching everything. There were 4 of us. 3 of the meals were terrific. Exactly what you’d expect for the location and price. I had the venerable Sea Bass. Very good. Two other meals were great. However, my wife’s meal was horrible. Steak au poivre. The waiter did a nice job of selling the fact it was a high grade beef sourced from a local butcher. The problem was the kitchen cooked, and served, a piece that wasn’t good enough for beef stew. This was not the restaurants or the servers fault. It was the kitchens/chef’s. Never should have been cooked. Terrible piece of meat just looking at it. Asked for medium rare and it came out medium well at best. Tough, tendony and parts you couldn’t chew or cut. This is a good restaurant but really good restaurants (and chefs) know better than to serve what she got for $60. You’re better than this!
