    Wow. This was really a mindblowing experience. I am in Naples working and just found a close place for lunch and walked in here. I was seriously shocked. The server was instantly incredible and perfect. She even genuinely gave me a good recommendation and as soon as I took the first bite I was amazed how perfectly delicious it was. I wish we had this exact same thing in my town but also the same servers too. It was such a wonderful vibe in there and a nice layout and clean place.

    Absolutely love this place. I try to make it in every time I'm in the Naples area, and it never disappoints. I've been coming here for years, since back when they were in a different location than this one. Almost always get the traditional Cuban sandwich with rice and beans. Pro tip, get some of their house made hot sauce to go with your meal. It's phenomenal. I found out today that they've started bottling their hot sauce, so I had to pick up a couple to bring back home to Chicago with me. Used to live in the Miami area and I've had Cuban sandwiches in tons of different restaurants, but for some reason, this one here at Fernandez rises above all the rest. Lots of other great options on the menu as well in addition to sandwiches. Service is always spot on as well. Highly recommend you check this place out. 5 stars.

    Found this strip mall in Bonita springs area where I meet a friend for lunch. The Cuban resturant had a bunch of lunch specials so we went in for a nice lunch. The server was very nice and kept checking on us. Fast service nice atmosphere and yummy cuban food. I went with the Half Cuban sandwich with black beans, and added a side of sweet plantains. my friend had the quarter (dark meat) chicken with rice and beans. a little heavy for me bit very tasty. Authentic Cuban! Only suggestion and why 4 not 5 stars, is have sports not news on the tvs at the bar at lunch.

    Fabulous Fun Family! This is what it's all about: Stranger walks into a bar, and walks out feeling like A Regular. I'd return for the food, especially the flan, but the cheerful waitress especially. Such a group of sweethearts: Mara, Lola, Arlety, Elena, and Lory!

    A recent lunch had us wanting to come back for another taste of Cuban food. The restaurant decor is meant to remind you of Cuba and it does. The restaurant is clean with good service and the menu offers dishes like chimichurri and picadillo plates, as well as the traditional ropa vieja. There are a variety of sandwiches, including the classic Cuban. I had the chicken tacos, while the fish tacos that hubs ordered were served with a pita bread shell and the rice and black beans that came as a side, were seasoned to perfection. We were both pleased with the delicious lunch and the food certainly does remind me of a past trip to Cuba. There are a variety of Cuban dishes to choose from and we definitely plan to visit again. If you've never had Cuban food, this restaurant is a great way to get started.

    Ordered a chicken chimichurri sandwich Zero flavor -- had no chimichurri had no mayo -- chicken had no seasoning .. bread was not pressed. When I raised to their attention they said their cook was in training. Please train the trainer. Will never go back. No soy Cubano but I have been to Cuba 3 x and this is not the way Cuban food should taste.

    Located in a strip center . Plenty of free parking . The tostones have a nice crunchy texture and come with a side of lemon garlic sauce . It's a nice compliment. The Fernandez Bruschetta with lobster is OK . Not my fave and I would not recommend . The lobster mix is tiny bits of lobster in a mix of mayonnaise and spices . I did not care for it . The lobster had a fishy taste and I was not a fan . The actual lobster to mayonnaise ratio was minimal and it just seemed the purpose of the heavy mayonnaise mixture was to cut costs to avoid them having to actually use fresh chunks of lobster but still charge a premium price . I paid $20 for three pieces of "lobster" bruschetta. I had to ask each time for service from asking to place my order , water refill, napkins etc . No one ever came by voluntarily although there seemed to be plenty of staff and minimal customers .

    Cute interior

    Hogfish Harry's is a hidden gem of an eatery located inside the Park Shore Resort in Naples…read more As I drove up trying to find it, it's a little hidden but just follow the navigation--it's taking you there! I parked near their walkway sign and once I ventured through, it's such a lovely walk up to the restaurant with a bridge over water with fountains and tons of blooms everywhere. Once inside, I was met with a bright, crisp dining room that was clean and comfortable. We started with cocktails and I got their version of a Manhattan, the hog-hattan. It's made with Whistlepig 6 year and came out on the rocks. Manhattans not served up are kinda a pet peeve of mine--but this one? Truly and honestly one of the best Manhattans of my life. The server did not steer me wrong. It was exquisite. For my dinner, my dining companion and I opted for a deal they had that allowed you a starter and main for a reasonable price. I got the kale salad for my starter which was bursting with flavor--chopped kale, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, chevre, and a bright citrus-y vinaigrette--what's not to love? For my main, I got their Mahi Mahi which was also perfectly executed. It was served over a bed of rice and asparagus with chopped mango and a sauce (not sure what kind but balanced the dish perfectly) on top. I would have a hard time not ordering this dish again. It was craveable. Our server was lovely and provided wonderful recommendations for both myself and my dining companion. No notes! Get to it!

I read it was a little tricky to find, because it sits in the middle of a little resort. It's a great walk over a little bridge that crosses over a pond. It resembles a seaside restaurant with lots of seating inside and outside. I sat at the bar and was enthusiastically greeted by the bartender. I asked for her recommendations and I went with the hogfish sandwich. Luckily, she told me I could get it grilled and blackened instead of fried. I could tell they knew how to cook fish because it came out perfectly. Most would probably think it was undercooked, but that's how fish should be cooked. I appreciated this attention to detail and thought it was delicious.

Pretty good burger. For those who like to drink under a thatched roof outside, there is a tikki hut. The establishment's motif is all over the map. But let's just stay with the island theme in Naples, FL. Would I go back again? I don't know, I have had this book marked, and I have eaten at another of their establishments, Sonny's. They do not have the same menu. I like that.

Naturally smoked turkey with brie, pesto mayo, and tomato jam on gluten free bread, served with a fresh Caesar salad. Pretty good sandwich. The turkey was flavorful, the bread held up nicely, and the salad was crisp with a good coating of parmesan. Decent value for what you get. My wife ordered the fish tacos, which came with a side salad topped with blue cheese crumbles and red onion. The presentation looked great with nice char on the fish, fresh pico, and shredded cabbage piled high. But the execution fell short. The fish itself was chewy and not very tender. That's a problem when fish tacos are one of your popular dishes. On the bright side, our waitress was nice and attentive. No complaints on the service front. The cozy atmosphere lives up to the farm to table vibe they're going for. The Verdict: The Local delivers a decent lunch with good service and fresh ingredients. My smoked turkey sandwich hit the spot, but those fish tacos need work. Four stars for a solid overall experience, but maybe skip the tacos next time.
