    Choo Cho, playing his harp.
    Martin N.

    We want to celebrate Cinco De Mayo earlier. As we pass through Vanderbilt Beach Road and Air Port Pulling Road, we noticed that Falco's sign. We turn into the mall and stop for an early diner. Although patio tables were available, we sat inside. As we order, patrons are coming and within 15 minutes, the restaurant is half full! We were offered warm chips and salsa as soon we sit down. The Margarita was half price since it is still Happy Hour. What a deal! We order beef enchilada dinner with rice and refried beans and a runken shrimp and fish (Camaron y pescado borracho) with rice and green beans. Both dishes were delicious and tasty. The Drunken Shrimp and Fish could use an extra shot of tequila to bring more seafood umami! The presentations were exceptional. The harp player, Choo Cho, (not 100% sure this is his name) was fun to listen with classic beats! The portion was huge and we did not have any dessert! We've been to Falco at the old US 41 location more than 10 years ago! The location has been changed but the food is still excellent and the Margaritas is at a reasonable price. Customer service is great with a very nice atmosphere. We wish we live little closer!

    Staff was friendly, accommodating to our large party. Pleasant atmosphere! However, I was not impressed with the food. The quesadilla had too much cheese and our chips were stall.

    Chicken Fajitas and the side dish to it in another picture. VG!!! Crepes not pictured.

    There last night after a few months. An update on some of my complaints. And I hadn't taken any pictures. Thankfully, they no longer charge 4% if using a credit card. That's great. With four people they put out two baskets of warm chips and one spicy and one NOT so spicy salsa. (unnecessary) was never used. If you want an additional hot salsa as I wanted, it's a $1.50. extra. But at least now you get enough chips. No longer paying $4 for an extra basket as it happened six months ago. Food is always very good. There's certainly enough on the menu. It is.s pretty comfortable place inside and on the patio. Service is also excellent. Enjoy the savings from months ago.

    Stopped here for lunch, was seated quickly. We sat outside, nice cool afternoon. The area was clean and waitress was very attentive.We were served chips and special salsa. Tased like a mix of tomatillo and onions garlic and diced tomatoes. I had to try the Pozole, a cup is all i needed, very good. The I had the Flaco's Nachos, they were yummy enjoyed the food and the clean atmosphere. More than enough food,

    Ocean Prime was a date-night splurge during a midwinter break of many other splurges. The start of…read moredate night was made happier by nearby easy parking in the city garage at 4th Ave and 8th St. Upon entry, the first thing I noticed was how loud OP was! In this case, it was a sign of good times, as the noise was mainly table conversations in a full house. Our open-table reservation was ready, and we were seated at a table near the "wine wall." After pondering the possibilities, our evening went like this: *Cocktails: "Take two" for her: Strawberry-Infused Botanist Gin, Mango, Citrus Basil, Foam; a bourbon old-fashioned for him: Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon, Aperol, Simple Syrup, Angostura Aromatic Bitters (a cherry too, perhaps Luxardo). *We made the strategic decision to avoid soups/salads to make sure there was room for dessert, and went directly to entrees: Chilean Sea Bass (best seller, we hear) for her: Broccolini, Pearl Onion, Potato Puree, Truffle Vinaigrette; and the Halibut special with gnocchi for him. Both EXCELLENT! A glass of Sauvignon Blanc with each. *Dessert: Crème Brulée for her, a much anticipated Ten Layer Carrot Cake for him, and decaf coffee + cream for both. Was saving room for dessert worth it? Yes, absolutely. My compliments to Todd, perhaps the best server I remember during the past year. Why? He seemed to have no agenda except to please the customer. There was no pressure to order quickly, and nothing about our order fazed him. Gluten-free requests were handled flawlessly. No soup or salad? He did not even blink, as if he himself thought it was an excellent idea. Todd, thank you for being the perfect meal guide and steward.

The cook of the steak was in fact medium rare as ordered, however, when we cut our steaks, immediately you could tell how tough the meat was. I'm not sure if these steaks are frozen or simply a poor quality of cut, but it shouldn't take more than 3 business days to chew a steak. The winner of our meal was in fact the sonoma ravioli. It was very rich and decadent. I also suggest the gouda tater tots and truffle mac & cheese. I'd skip the creamed spinach as it lacked flavor and was a bit runny. The ambiance was high energy, great for big parties and dates as well. Perhaps the seafood entrees may be better as I did notice other parties ordering those items. But to compare to other steakhouses, I don't think I can give it a positive review.

    After many years of wanting to try The Grill (we used to frequent Jimmy P's that sometimes would be…read moregreat and other times ok), we finally elected to try The Grill and we are very happy that we did so. Everything about it from entering the grounds of The Ritz, walking through the hotel lobby, to being greeted at the host/hostess station elevated an experience that by the end of the meal can be summed up in the word Magnifique! Upon reaching the host/hostess station, we were efficiently greeted and brought to our table walking through a beautiful dining room with a piano player to boot reminiscent of the great restaurants of the '70's and '80's. Whisked to our table to a romantic table for two with a full view of the dining room a la Forge Miami Beach 1980. We were told that The Grill has been operational for 40 years and is the best performing restaurant within Marriott's portfolio and the only remaining Grill. Our server who was outstanding had been here for 29 years. He explained to a T the specials and was both professional and friendly what you would expect at a 5 star restaurant. We started by selecting our bottle of wine a reasonably priced Pride Cab that was not heavily marked up. The wine list was extensive with a wide range of wines priced many priced reasonably and providing good value all the way up to top end Screaming Eagle. We elected to start with a great Caesar salad and followed up with two bone-in steaks, one being the 22 oz. bone-in ribeye for $98 and a 22 oz. bone in filet mignon special at $142 that our server described as being 14 oz. of meat and boy was it huge! The bone-in ribeye was cooked perfectly and delicious and the filet was soft as butter and very very good. We had fantastic Cajun spiced steak fries and great broccolini. For dessert we finished up with two souffles that are personal sized, one being a chocolate souffle with chocolate sauce and in asking for sabayon - they advised that while they could not they would bring out creme anglaise. The cookies n cream souffle was even better and delectable! Service was off the chart polished, unrushed and absolutely great. All in all the experience was beyond 5 stars. A truly unique restaurant standing the test of time and without a doubt the best steakhouse and best restaurant that we have eaten at in the State of Florida. (And yes we have been to all the "supposed" greats in Miami and Bern's too). And quite frankly I would put this at the top of its class within the U.S.

From the moment we walked in, the hostesses and manager made us feel welcome and had us seated right away. Our server, Angel, was fantastic. He walked us through the menu, explained how many of the dishes were prepared, and made thoughtful recommendations without ever feeling pushy. We started with the octopus and fresh focaccia with honey. The octopus was exceptional--easily one of the best I've had and on par with dishes I've enjoyed at Michelin-starred and James Beard-recognized restaurants. We also shared the beet and goat cheese salad, followed by the local snapper and the ribeye cap topped with lobster claw and tail in chimichurri. Every dish was beautifully prepared and showcased the quality of the ingredients. The cocktails were well balanced (not overloaded with ice), and the Thyme on Thyme is an easy recommendation if you're looking for something light and refreshing. The wine list paired nicely with the meal as well. Watching the sunset over the water while listening to music drifting across the park made the evening even more memorable. Thanks to Angel and the kitchen for such an outstanding experience. Seventh South has earned a spot on our regular rotation whenever we're in Naples.

For dessert, we split the special Crème Brûlée topped with diced fruit. We enjoyed the dessert so much, we purchased one for a sweet family of four sitting next to us. Our server Mike and the owner, Barry, helped make that happen and we appreciate it.

It was graded MS-5 teres major and was served with a baked potato and a small side of steak sauce. I did not use the sauce because I didn't want to spoil the excellent quality of beef which was cooked to perfection as per my temperature request. The Key lime pie seemed a standard pie often sold with local restaurant suppliers. Nothing phenomenal there, but it was the only dessert offered with the special. My "dessert" was the espresso martini I had made with Van Gogh chocolate infused vodka.
