Billed as Rustic Italian Cuisine, it hits the mark. Our special occasion dinner was everything we expected from one of Naples finer Ristorante. Greeted warmly, the hostess knew our name and our special occasion was noted. Drinks were offered and we decided on a house chianti. The chianti was very palatable with a robust after…
Dining out in Southwest Florida has become a hit or miss occasion. Our experience at Petar’s Restaurant in Bonita Springs was, I am glad to say, a big hit. We were greeted like a long lost member of the family. Although the restaurant is in a shopping center we felt as if we were in…
We decided at the last minute to go out for a good meal. Where to go? With all the choices here in Naples it is sometimes difficult to make a decision. So we stuck with an old favorite and opted for Chops City Grill. Upon arrival we were seated and greeted by our waitperson, Rock….
One our favorites in Naples. Service is outstanding without being intrusive. On this visit our party of three was warmly greeted seated immediately. Our server, Jeanine was friendly and efficient. Drinks were ordered, bread and water appeared as if by magic and we were ready to order. Cesar salad for me and our 97 year…
The strip shopping center where Cote D’azur is located may fool you but don’t let the location of this fine restaurant deter you. The only seating available for us on short notice was one of the four outdoor tables. Because of the unique setting and ambiance created here, we were not aware that we were…
The best burgers east of the Mississippi! When we have a craving for a great burger there is no other choice than Brooks Burgers. Burgers done perfectly every time. Mine is the classic with cheddar cheese. But if you want to try one of the many other options, you have a myriad of choices including…
Because we typically dine early, the restaurant was empty upon our arrival. This is usually concerning to us but we persevered. By the time we were served our entree the place began to fill up and we were relieved. Host/owner Phillippe met us at the door and we were seated immediately. Our server, Steve was…
Our third visit to The Continental was as good as the first two if not better. Our server Lauren was efficient and informative. Her knowledge of the menu and the differences in the various meat selections was thorough. My better half ordered the Waygu 6 oz. fillet and was thoroughly pleased with her selection. Accompanied…
I am reluctant to write this review because I’m afraid our favorite local spot may be overrun with snow-birds. This is a go-to-spot for casual dining and good camaraderie. The bonus is that the food is GREAT. Good fresh seafood, great steaks and a variety of bar food for any budget. On our latest foray…
Another hidden gem, Café Figaro is located in an obscure strip mall behind a Walgreen’s Drug store on Tamiami Trail N. Even with GPS we had a little trouble locating this divine little Bistro. Greeted by Zinnia who is the sister of owner and chef . We were warmly welcomed and seated immediately. Warm bread…
