The Real Macaw is a hidden gem in Naples. It has a small intimate tropical atmosphere with many colorful paintings & wicker chairs. The chef provided a real home-cooked Thanksgiving meal with generous servings. Kudos to a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!

We asked for outdoors. My BAD. We were placed next to a blaring speaker, soon to be replaced by loud live entertainment. We asked to be moved indoors. This request was refused althought there were plenty of empty tables at the time. The usually good crab cakes were extrememly salty last night. Otherwise the food was OK. Chowder was good.

Fun, intimate, tropical setting for dining. The Real Macaw is away from the congested areas of Naples; kind of a gem in a neighborhood; not far from Naples Botanical Gardens. Service is excellent; attentive but not overbearing. Menu has many out of the ordinary options... all are wonderful. Really a special place to return to over and over.
