Although a chain, it's one of the very best. Can never go wrong with a meal here. From the ahi tuna taco appetizer, baby gem Caesar salad, to the insanely good coconut shrimp and the crazy good macadamia encrusted snapper and the bites of dessert we shared - all very very good! Vibe fun, live music, nice space heaters so we could sit outside. Always a home run.

Wonderful pre-theatre dinner! We selected from the 3 course dinner option. Great choices with generous portions (starters of Caesar salad & KFC cauliflower and entrees of steak plate and surf & turf were excellent. Desserts were excellent as well). Service was outstanding. There were 4 of us at dinner-we all raved about our entrees!

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.
