"After being given a rave review by our daughter, my husband treated me to an early Mother's Day dinner at Bistro 821. Let me tell you, it's not hype. Server, John, was gracious but not checking back constantly, which we like. We opted for their special of two entrees and a bottle of wine. My parmesan crusted sole over mashed potatoes and stir fry veggies was perfection. Paired with a Chardonnay and luscious dipping oil for freshly baked bread, I was in love with this little bistro. The only knock was that tables are situated tightly, so you may find yourself a few feet from another diner. However, the food quality, urban decor, and professional service must rank high in Naples. Great experience which I am willing to repeat!"

"We really enjoy eating at Bistro 821. It is very convenient to go to Sugden Theatre after dinner. Always great service and wonderful choice of meals even on early dining menu. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling near fifth ave. Really is worth the extra drive from North Naples or Marco Island just to have a nice meal."

"Bistro 821 has maintained its high quality of food and service over the years. We were not in the least bit disappointed in our evening's experience. The Bistro salad had a nice compliment of greens and the spinach salad had an awesome bacon dressing. The chicken pot pie was a nice sized serving, not huge as at some other restaurants in town. The puff pastry crust was a nice addition. The tournadoes of beef were done to perfection. However the mushroom sauce was stronger than my taste for a sauce. I think is was the selection of mushrooms that made it so."

"We hadn't been to Bistro 821 for a couple of years but went with some friends for their early dining. I had risotto with shrimp and vegetables. What a disappoint. What I got was was a dish way overloaded with sautéed vegetables so much so that it ruined what could have been a pretty good risotto. Everyone else liked their dishes (but no one ordered the risotto). Bistro 821 seems to have a pretty good following but given the number of quality resturants in Naples, we are not going to be one of them."

"Still the Best!!! Whether in season or off season you can always be guaranteed a great meal and you won't be disappointed. We take all of our guests and everyone raves about the food and fun atmosphere. Becky at the hostess stand is unbelievable despite the restaurant's fast pace she is always so welcoming and accomodating. Your table is always set and available on time. Nick the bartender makes everyone feel special yet at home. James is a delight and always a smiling face. This restaurant is the best for food as well as service. Everyone works together and it shows. Love it."

"My second visit on a returning holiday. What a find, the food service and lively ambiance of this resturant are just great.I tried their bistro salad to start with that was very good with really nice flavours, followed by the coconut, ginger and lemon grass encrusted snapper which I can also recommend.The bistro itself is quite unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you walkin the whole place is a buzz with a warm friendly welcome. Towards the back there is a bar (which can be a little loud if your tables close by) where pre-dinner drinks can be had. The restuarant is well run, good servers who knew the menu well and were very helpful. I shall definitely be returning!!"

"Love the early dining feature. We were late getting seated and by the time we ordered the waiter wouldn't let us do that. Thus, our meal was a lot more expensive than we had planned and if we had realized that, probably would have gone elsewhere-just because we have been to 821 several times. Certainly will go back for the 2 for 1 and thought booking on Open Table worked great."

This was not our first visit to Bistro 821, and we will continue to keep it on our restaurant list

"This was our first time there. It was not bad. I guess I would say is that it was an ordinary expensive place. The server made some mistakes on our order but nothing to really to disrupt the dinner.
We will go back again to "try" again."

"Lots of locals around us on a busy Saturday night. Great food, nice wines by the glass. 20% auto tip a bit steep for the actual service which is good, not great (at other times service has been better). The $35 menu is a steal. Will return!"

"We had a table outside and we really enjoyed people watching on 5th Avenue during our meal. The food was acceptable but nothing special especially considering the expensive price tag.
Our waiter was very good until he served our coffee. He never came back to offer refills or to see if we wanted anything else.
We did stay for a nice length of time and had an enjoyable meal."

"This was our first time to Bistro 821-We have a condo in the area and often dine in old Naples.It was nice inside,but our waiter was Terrible.He was very short in his initial encounter. He acted like we were an inconvenience to his day. When we tried to make conversation asking his opinion on entrees, he was a bit put off & actually came off rude.Since it was faily late so we decided to share some entrees & get individual salads. He seemed annoyed with this and when he brought bread said "Here, you can try to share this too".We were shocked at the rudeness! When we got the bill we found out there was 20% gratutity included so he obviously didn't care to give good service.The food was good, but we wont return since many other area options"

"This was our first time in Naples and we tried Bistro 821 after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. It was busy and the service was a bit slow but the food was amazing. The spinach salad with bacon was one of the best I have had and the sea bass, as advertised , is outstanding."
