So, so lucky that we, as occasional visitors to the area decided to explore Doug's Seafood. We…read morevisit to eat on every trip and this time we'll go twice! This is a very simple, order at the counter, eat it served hot, neighborhood treasure! The food? It is FABULOUS! A lot of foo-foo expensive restaurants need to take cooking lessons here! The breaded fsa food choice is so lightly done that nothing mars the texture or great fresh flavor of the original item. Onion rings - breaded light and delicately, hand cut and crispy. Blackened seafood is lightly dusted with good seasonings, and cooked just right! This is not a fancy place, but an honest, down-home good food restaurant. There is a small seafood market attached, providing some extremely fresh fare. We LOVE Doug's!

We had heard and read a lot of good things about Doug's so we were excited to try it. It was a…read morebusy Friday night so we ordered takeout. We got 4 baskets: triple tail, crabcakes, oysters and fish and chips. The crab cakes were disappointing--a lot of stuffing and not much crab. The fish and chips were just kinda meh. The triple tail was good, and the oysters were best of this group. As we ordered, we decided we wanted onion rings and were told they would be substituted. Nope. Didn't happen. Also when we arrived at the pick up time, the fish and chips were not done and we had to wait 10 minutes for it while the rest of the order got cold. Overall-- no I don't see any reason to rush back. Not at all.

This is a family-run business, and everyone there is friendly and informative.

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

I can't believe it took me this long (33 yr. Living in Naples) to try this restaurant. I had used…read moretheir market in the past and always was Happy with any seafood I purchased. Finally tried their restaurant with 6 other ladies and it was marvelous. I had the swordfish which melted In your mouth. Another ordered salmon and I thought she might lick the plate. Several had the soup of the day and raved about it. One lady ordered oysters and thought she died and went to heaven. Sorry I had to look in another direction, I don't even like looking at them, But to each their own. Also heard raves about the lobster roll. Service was excellent, our waiter works winters here and the summers in Maine, So he knows his seafood. The decor is done very well, the bar is an old boat with the top half over the bar holding glasses and the bottom half the bar. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at Swan River and we will be back.

We ordered the mussels, grouper, shrimp and scallop caprese, and fish entrées. My family really…read moreenjoyed their meals, especially the salmon. The seafood was fresh and seasoned well. My grouper, however, didn't quite hit the mark. It was cooked well but pretty basic, and the presentation didn't showcase the quality of the fish - I give it a 3. I also wish the mussels came with bread to soak up the delicious broth. Service was friendly, though lunch took a little longer than expected. We also noticed another customer dining indoors with a dog. It wasn't disruptive, just a little unexpected. I still love Swan River's seafood market and genuinely want the restaurant to be just as memorable. The quality is there, I think a few thoughtful touches would make a big difference.

However, the restaurant provides both indoor and outdoor seating options. The ambiance is lively and slightly dim, creating a cozy atmosphere. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. We particularly enjoy their 1.50 Gulf oysters on Saturdays. They are plump and come with a choice of vinaigrette or cocktail sauce. The shrimp has a satisfying crunch, especially when dipped in the melted butter sauce. The clams were equally tasty and fresh. One of my favorite dishes to order is their clam chowder. Hands down one of the best soup I had. Definitely recommend.

They also have a market as you enter, where you can buy fresh seafood, pasta salads, their bisque and more. Once we checked in with the host, she lead us to our table. Our sever Danny came by and gave us waters and menus. Less than ten minutes passes by and we were ready to order. For entrees I ordered the Seafood Platter ( shrimp scampi, scallops, and grouper this came with a Caesar salad and sweet potatoes) shrimp scampi, scallops and grouper were well seasoned, tender and fresh; my wife ordered the Triple Shrimp Platter (scampi, baked stuffed, and crunchy and a side of crab bisque) my wife absolutely loved this dish so much so she said she'll get it again next time we dine here. The crab bisque was the best she's had on the island. My mother in law ordered the Baked Stuff Shrimp (with seafood stuffing) she ordered this dish last time we dined here and she said it's still delicious. My father and sister in law ordered the Mahi Mahi with mango sauce. Both said the Mahi-mahi was tender and was a nice portion. All in all this is a great restaurant for anyone looking for seafood. All the fish is fresh and made to order.

My grandmother especially loved Timbers, and it has always been a must for at least one night during our vacations. She was very particular about her dining experiences. Very refined like me . The inside is pretty cute. The decor has lots of old wood much like the namesake. They have a fresh seafood l counter where you can purchase some of their magic. That is where I spotted some of the items I knew that I had to have. On my way to the bathroom I knew I was in for a treat. If you are a seafood aficionado like I am, you will not be disappointed. The food is incredibly fresh. They fly in Chilean sea bass every morning, and I had never experienced it truly fresh before, only frozen. It absolutely melted in my mouth. My loaded bake potato was a star on its own. I wanted another one. The stone crabs were amazing, and I highly recommend getting the larger ones. The creamy mustard dip was almost as good as mine. The calamari was stellar, and the smoked salmon belly was incredible with its perfect balance of capers and that sweet, salty, sour combination. I have to say, though, the warm bourbon pecan pie at the end of the meal was an experience all on its own. I could barely walk afterward. It was such a fabulous dining experience. Thank you for making my return so stellar. We haven't been able to visit for the past three years because the hurricane destroyed our place, but everything is back and better than ever. I look forward to my next dining adventure. To many more years of good food, good friends, and memories that make this adventure all the more better.

Love how they only carry humane foods and sustainable. They actually have $5 Sushi, special dinner packets to steam and eat, all in one bag. Lots of fast, quick meals, yet healthy. Deli, seafood, bakery, produce, all always fresh. The dimmed lights and classical music make shopping such a pleasure. My only complaint is the checking out system. The screen with the prices is so far away from the customer and I have no way to scroll it up or down as I try to read it. If there is a question, you have to ask the customer behind you in line to back up, so you can walk over to the computer screen and see how much you owe. UGH, really? This day and age? WHY isn't it right at the checkout/paying unit? Then the poor cashier has no way of changing this, they also have t o walk over to the screen and try to read. Unbelievable what a pain this is. I have already contacted corporate about this problem in my surveys. Hope they get it fixed. It is sad, like driving a Rolls Royce but the radio is only on AM. Meanwhile, the new cashiers they hired hopefully will learn how to smile .
