"I love this place and am sad that they are moving. I look forward to visiting their new location and hope that it is not too far from the original one.
The Triple Tail is my all time favorite entree here. I am always a little hesitant when ordering fish but this was a "melt in your mouth" fish experience with a lobster butter sauce. I am glad that it will be on the menu at the new location. My husband's Bolognese was also outstanding as well as his Wedge salad. Unfortunately we never have room for dessert. EVOO never disappoints!"

"Our original waitress forgot to put one of our orders in. That is understandable with a large party or if the restaurant is crowded, but we were only two people and the restaurant was not crowded. My husband was halfway through his meal before mine arrived. We recieved no apology from the first waitress. Another waitress continued the service. She was much more professional and pleasant. An automatic 20% tip was added to the bill, with no notification either from the waitress or noted on the menu. A tip is supposed to show gratification for good service."

"We had a table for two and sat across from each other. The distance between us was fine until the restaurant filled up, and then it was impossible to enjoy an intimate dinner for two. there was so much noise that it was almost impossible to have a conversation, let alone a normal one. It's a bad choice for a date.
My date ordered the Chicken Milanese; it came with stewed tomatoes over a very little little pasta in a watery liquid that we were certain was undrained paste water from the pot. Extremely disappointing, it was promptly send back in favor of the grouper, which appeared to be prepared correctly, but was very fishy. All in all, I would never go back. Good thing they told us they are closing next week (lost their lease)."

"This chef really knows what he's doing. We've been there for lunch and dinner and both were very, very good. It's an attractive modern place with, but it's hard to find (behind Abbey Carpet in North Naples) and I understand they will be moving soon. If so, look for it because EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) is a real find."

"This is one of our favorite restaurants and we took a table full of guests the other night. We were very disappointed in the very limited menu and very slow (but friendly) service. My miniscule petite fillet was wonderful as was my salad, but my husband's fish was mushy and tasteless. For the price, we expect much better. I didn't ask the other three diners about their meals. I hope this was just an off night."
