This is an unofficial outpost of the world famous Peter Luger steakhouse in New York. It's not…read moreowned by the company, rather a longtime Peter Luger's waiter and host who basically ran their playbook almost exactly and opened it in Naples. A smart thing to do! The menu ... the cuts of steaks ... the wood paneled interior with gold-framed paintings ... the steak sauce ... even the plates with a logo that looks exactly like Peter Lugar's ... all the same. The waiters wear white embroidered jackets, have the confidence of stock brokers and chit chat with you as if they are a longtime friend. The steaks come sizzling in butter and pre-sliced the way Lugar's porterhouse for two come. I have always thought Peter Lugar's was overrated. The steaks are expensive and very fatty with sinew/gristle running through the meat. This wasn't a thick steak ... it was on the thin side and it was fried in butter making the outside flavorful but a little rubbery. If you like Peter Lugar's you will like this. However, if you like a thick, tender steak ... maybe not. The sides are all similar to any good a la carte steakhouse in the world. They have the famous thick bacon, which is more like pork steak on the menu. The wedge salad was very good. Overall, this place gets packed ... parking is a nightmare ... and it's an institution. If you like vintage style, classic restaurants, you'll be in for a treat here. I would certainly come back. The steaks are not the best I've ever had here ... but all the things add up to make it a special vibe and experience as the many regulars would attest. There is a slight douchebaggery aire to the customers, which would make any New York transplant feel at home.

This is one of my favorite places in all of Southwest Florida…read more We were seated promptly, greeted by the server promptly, and our drinks were on the table quickly. I always start with a very small salad and the feijoada, a fancy name for beans, rice, and ribs. Tonight we were served tri-tip, rib-eye, sirloin, and lamb. Small bites add up until you have to stop. Because it was New Year's Eve, they also added a dessert table. I don't get dessert that often, but the flan here is top-notch. All the food servers were dressed in gaucho pants, boots, and shirts, adding to the experience. The ambiance is in theme with the food.

I have to say the service was disappointing, including the server and the gauchos. Multiple requests for the same items, very few meat choices, and while one of the Gauchos was nice , but hurriedly, the other was pretty dismissive and rude. The restaurant also didn't seem very clean...the floors, the bathrooms. It just was kind of meh. I won't go back anytime soon. :(

Seated at 730, drink order wasn't taken until 744, and this became a theme for the night. Drinks came a while later. Bread was provided after the drinks--but we had been seated well over 25 minutes now. Order was not taken for over 30 minutes. Appetizers came out relatively quickly and were good (4/5). The tomatoes were green house tomatoes though which really bugged me for southern Florida and the price point. Just plain greedy prices for Sysco food service quality ingredients. Entrees came about 90 minutes after we were seated. Wife and I had to do some serious damage control with the kids, but we brought them so that's on us. The entrees were good, but marked up considerably. I suspect they prey on tourists like us and just charge high in hopes of the perceived quality. My steak was very good I'll admit. But I filled up on the table bread because it all took so dang long. Also it was a limited menu--maybe because of Easter? But with limited options the kitchens job should be streamlined a lot better to avoid such a long wait time for the food. Started this review with a 4 star rating, as I thought about it, I downgraded it to a 3 due to high cost, mediocre waiter service and very slow food service. Maybe your experience will be better on a less busy day? We were there nearly three hours not including the wait for our table.

The Queso Blanco with plenty of chips was delicious, and just like on our last visit, the Garlic Soup was outstanding. My husband ordered the carne asada, which was tender, flavorful, and served with all the delicious sides. I had the Cheese Enchilada with Tomatillo sauce and the Chile Relleno, and every part of the dish was exceptional. Portions were generous, so we ended up taking food home. No room for dessert this time -- maybe on our next visit.

The inside plays into the spanish theme in architecture and decor. Once seated, they start you off with a complimentary order of chips and salsa. It was nice they gave us two salsas from the start because only your first serving is complimentary. Know that the salsa was also a true medium. For entrees, I got the Taco Salad (no jalapeños). I could taste that the shell was freshly made and thought the value was great for how many toppings came in the salad. It looked smaller in size but I struggled to finish it all! My aunt got the Choose 3 Mexican Combo with all ground beef tacos. They have both hard shell and soft shell options for tacos and these are served with a side of rice and beans. They were nice to let her get double rice and no beans. My husband tried the Tampiqueña which came with a large skirt steak, cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and some toppings. His portion was huge to make this a great value. Overall, this was a great spot to come and enjoy some mexican food where there is truly something for everyone on the menu. They do offer Happy Hour Mon-Fri from 11am -3pm & 5-7pm where some drinks are discounted but the pricing wasn't very clear. I did ask and the $12 Margarita was discounted down to $9 for reference.

It turns out that we were talking to John, the owner, and he gave some great recommendations for me (and did note where an ingredient could or could not be left out for me). We snacked on plantains with black bean dip and an incredible octopus salad while waiting for our dinner. I cannot say enough good things about the octopus salad - the chilled mild octopus was complimented by the briny olives, sweet onion slices and salty bites of potato. I prefer to eat smaller meals throughout the day so I just ordered the beef empanadas small plate for my dinner -- knowing I would also get a bite of my husband's dinner too. He ordered the snapper, which they ran out of and substituted branzino. Very good! The malanga chips were more like fries and were a great surprise - never had them before and we enjoyed them. The branzino was perfectly cooked and the rice was extremely flavorful. My only regret is that we were not in Naples longer to make a return visit to explore the menu further!
