    Great menu choices: the shrimp -scallop dish was perfect and my husband loved his Bowl with shrimp! We even started with coconut shrimp that were beautifully nestled in delicious coleslaw ! Somehow we managed to polish off a fabulous piece of Pina Colada Cake . We danced our way out the door to the sounds of the evening’s talented singer . Looking forward to coming back !

    Excellent business lunch! We had a group of 5 and were seated at a booth with a large round table. It was perfect for conducting our meeting. We all chose items from the special lunch menu--tacos, crab cake sandwiches and the pick 2 with flatbread and salad. All were delighted with their meals. The service was perfect, too. Our drink order was taken promptly. We were not rushed. When we placed our orders, we were able to conduct our meeting. Our server was attentive but not hovering. It was a great experience!

    Our experience was incredible from start to finish. Our server, Thomas, was fantastic. He had a very thorough understanding of the menu, the cocktails and the specials. He knew the ingredients included, in and out and made great recommendations for us.. The goat cheese ravioli as a starter was to die for. Highly recommend. All of us were pleased with our entree selections (2 filets, ahi tuna and teriyaki salmon), and thoroughly enjoyed sharing some of the sides - especially the jalapeno au gratin. The ambience is everything you expect from a restaurant on 5th, and it doesn't hurt that Naples is beautifully decorated for Christmas as well.
