                                              Usually at the Real McCaw once a month in season... been going there for over ten years. Valentines day was a dissapointment...over 2 hours for a dinner for two? Had to ask for water three times. Table next to us arrived 30 minutes after we did... they got their drinks, appetizer and entre' before we got ours. They left 30 minutes before us. Took 30 minues between each course for us... My wife's surf 'n turf was great... my baked black grouper was dry and tasteless. We'll be back, but never for a special occasion.

                                              Valentines dinner was a disaster. The restaurant was overwhelmed and could not get food out to the diners. We waited 45 minutes for our starters, then another hour before we decided to leave without ever receiving our entrees. We decided to leave when we noticed people who had come in after us getting their meals. We told our server that we wanted to leave and pay for whatever we owed (drinks and our appetizers, but to the restaurant's credit, they took care of the entire bill. Not exactly sure what happened last night, we heard that they were short staffed and that somehow our dinner ticket was lost in the kitchen, but it wasn't just us, it was everyone. Lots of complaints and frustration from diners. The Real Macaw has always been one of our favorites. It will be hard to return after last night.

                                              The place is not its best during a crush of patrons. It's better to go when it's not sold out. Not worth the prices they charged at Valentine's Day. $96 per person for a prix fix menu was pricey as it was just their regular offers, but at a steep premium. Staff was heroic, but couldn't keep up with the demand. Disappointed.

                                              Because of the number of customers, the kitchen took about 45 minutes to bring the main course.

                                              Always look forward to our evening at The Real Macaw and they continue to not disappoint! For a table for 6 the reservation was on time and soon 6 Macaw juices were being enjoyed. Terrific service from Linda and the specials of shrimp scampi and swordfish were outstanding! Don’t miss going to this special place!!

                                              One of my favorite restaurants in Naples! The service is impeccable, the food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and bohemian.
