the Food and service excellent!! I decided to book Le Colonial for my husbands birthday, and told the restaurant about this. unlike Trulucks, Capital Grille et al who acknowledge such an occasion, this restaurant did nothing bar a tiny candle on the saucer of the coffee my husband ordered. Very disappointing, my husband was upset as was I. We may return but never to celebrate anything and I would urge others not to do also. read more

I have no words. If you don't understand how French and Vietnamese work together than you haven't been here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything here is perfect. From the wait staff to the kind chef ( shoutout my boy chef jack) to the decoration. It's such a beautiful and intentional place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the flowers are REAL. That's so rare for restaurants today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food? I'll never be able to get over it. The blend of flavors is perfect. My boyfriend who has never tried tuna tar tar loved it. We tried so many wonderful dishes. The chicken curry reminded me of my childhood, but was even better. The food is cooked with passion and purpose. The drinks? Holy cow they are GOOD. Not so strong you taste t straight alcohol but they get the job done. Just when you think the food can't get better out comes dessert. WOW. The chocolate cake was a show and beignets were perfect. The sauces paired perfectly. Shaking beef is also one of the best dishes on the menu. The food is easy to eat. Can't wait to come back to eat and see my new friends read more

Came here for ladies night out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We opted to dine in their lounge versus dining room since we like the vibe of the smaller room and the booth in the back. Decor was a bit dark and moody. Just what we wanted[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Our server was also the bartender and she was excellent. We liked the variety of early dining since some of us wanted to order drinks and appetizers, another wanted to try the summer prefix 3 course option, and another ordered directly from the menu. We found the portions for the happy hour dishes to be adequate, so the table ordered a variety of different options. Each of us loved what we ordered. Egg rolls were accompanied with lettuce, so can eat the dish like a lettuce wrap. The chicken salad was plentiful and tasty. Not your ordinary salad. Dressing was delicious. The ravioli wasn't what she expected but she loved the flavors regardless. The pre-fix was a choice of appetizer, dinner, and dessert. For dinner, our friend ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked. Portion size was a regular portion and not reduced because it was a prefix. For dessert, the crème brûlée was creamy, and not overly sweet. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service and ambiance were delightful as were starters, but a bit disappointed on entrees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved the crispy shrimp and pork rolls and ribs. Duck entree missed. Yes it was a perfectly cooked breast and while I was not expecting Peking style the presentation was a wanna-bee without pizzazz. Sea bass very good. Grilled eggplant excellent as was the fried rice. Surprisingly for a restaurant of this caliber they "ran out" of three wines by the glass. Sorry, if you are pretentious enough to have a sommelier the. You should be absolutely able to offer EVERY wine on the menu, be it bottled or by the glass. Not to have a Sancerre! Incroyable. I would return - for lunch. Dinner over $300. read more

One of our favorite newer spots in Naples. The service is top notch and the food is outstanding. Mostly Asian fare, with lots of unique twists. They also have an excellent cocktail and wine menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside is wonderful, the bar is a little swanky, and they have a nice patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was our first visit to this Le Colonial restaurant, although we have previously been to the locations in Chicago and San Francisco. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For starters, the decor and milieu are gorgeous, very tropical and elegant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is very large, with small plates and entrées, all Asian fusion. We had chicken dumplings start, then shared the sea bass and fried rice - all excellent. The service was world - class. The cocktails were great and the wine list was extensive. Le Colonial is very pricey, but lovely for a special occasion. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is beautiful. Just terrific looking[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were seated at least 10 minutes before a server approached, feeling invisable. She immediately told us she wasn't given a ticket, so..... What does that mean?? Is that my fault?? This is an upscale restaurant, I was not expecting to worry about ticket distribution to get served. We got an appetizer with egg rolls rolled in lettuce that was fantastic and some dumplings. I asked for hot chili sauce and was met with blank stares. Then eventually I was told it was hot but yes they had it. Just these strange communications. Wife had shaking beef which was good. I got chicken stir fry. Pretty good. Overall i liked it but the total cost including tip was $193. Seemed like a lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This should really be 3.5 I think but the ambiance and decor push it up a little.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We had been wanting to try le colonial for a while and decided to save it for a special occasion. Our 24th wedding anniversary. We did make reservations and requested the lounge area. We ended up sitting at the bar which is always our preference. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Laura and a young man from Colombia whose name escapes me now, were our bartenders. I will say that from the moment we were greeted at the hostess stand the service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a fan over our seats at the bar that was on very high-speed and it was making it very cold, they immediately adjusted it upon request.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the chicken and mushroom ravioli, which is absolutely full of all sorts of flavor and made with thin rice paper. We had the dumplings and the fried rice, which were also wonderfully delicious. For cocktails I had the French kiss and my husband had the smoked old-fashioned. Both were well made. We truly enjoyed the service, the ambiance and the flavors and we will be planning our next visit. read more

Le Colonial in Naples is absolutely stunning -- the interior and patio are both gorgeous, but the outdoor seating is especially worth it. The ambiance alone makes it a must-visit. We started with the summer rolls and beet salad, both super fresh and flavorful. I had the pho for my main, and it was perfectly portioned with rich, delicious broth. A beautiful spot for a relaxing and elegant meal! The service was also great. read more

This was our second visit to Le Colonial Naples. It is a lovely setting and the service and food were outstanding on our recent visit. We love the ambiance here. Even though it is currently off-season in Naples, I didn't want to take the chance of showing up without reservations. I am glad we did, because they were pretty busy when we arrived and I did not see many open tables. Hubby and I both skipped appetizers and just went for the main course. He got the spicy chicken stir fry which was served with jasmine rice. The stir fry included sweet onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, lemongrass, jalapeño, and Thai basil. I tasted his and it was very flavorful and was cooked just right. I decided to try the chicken curry this time and it did not disappoint! The chicken & veggies (green beans, yams, Japanese eggplant, mango and toasted cashews) were perfectly simmered in a Yellow Coconut Curry sauce and served with Jasmine Rice. Perfection! We shared a bottle of wine and a dessert - gourmet ice cream. We will definitely go back on our next visit to Naples! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Outdoor ambiance is great! There are a handful of unappealing seats but overall it's a great space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We go here semi regularly and they are about 80% consistent. Every now and then we'll get an off night. The shaking beef is excellent and the chicken dumplings flavor is well balanced with a perfect sear on one side. They give you black vinegar on the plate, but it could use a dipping sauce or a side of black vinegar. We tried a new desert that has no mention online so I thought I'd post it in case someone is curious . It is called Pandan Noir and it isn't really described well. They told me it was like white chocolate, but it is not. It has very mild flavors, more like flan than chocolate. The top "crown" is a slightly caramelized black sesame, that tastes similar to a mild toffee. I would recommend trying it because it is different and interesting and it is good/ not great but good. I think it could be great for me if it added a touch of something a little more flavorful, a fruit coulis, chocolate drizzle somethi read more

Def will return. High ceiling, fresh flowers and greens, lush retro decor, brass bars, Parisian red, Asian portraits, Vietnamese water scenery painting anchors the main dinning hall, lovely bar, chopstick rests, wonderful music - Ella Fitzgerald lovely, the panels of leaves line the narrow hall to the bathroom ... nicely done. Good service. The first thing the server did as she greeting us, was gently checked the table's balance. We've Beet salad Ribs Beef rolls / raviolis They're all delicious but I prefer the first two. The beef rolls are delicious but too much meat - this is picking bones among the eggs. I like their chopsticks: if you can reuse it, do take it with you. They're of good quality and beautiful. Thank you. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner one night and had a wonderful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were sat on the patio with our reservation, but the inside and outside of the restaurant were beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious! We ordered the curry based on other yelp reviews, but it actually was our least favorite thing (lacked some flavor). The ravioli was our favorite thing we ordered!! read more

The green curry shrimp came with a warning: it was hot/spicy/beware!. I chose it and it needed the warning! and was delicious paired with some extra sticky coconut rice.

This is where I took my wife for dinner the night we got engaged. It will always hold a special place in our hearts. We try to get back at 6 months or so because it's sooooo good and the service is always incredible. Our favorite dishes are the fried rice and yellow curry but everything is amazing! I love the old Cuban cocktail and the Colonial. read more

This is my third Le Colonial location in the last decade. With the others being San Francisco and Chicago. While I'm ecstatic to see elevated Asian cuisine (specifically Vietnamese) in the heart of Naples. Some of the items feel like failed attempts. Many of the dishes are overpriced for the portion you receive. This was our first time having lunch. It was over $100 a person at $460+ for the items sele below. Drinks - le colonial rose was good as were the various (pricey) cocktails we tried Apps - egg rolls (tasty), lotus salad, beef carpaccio, ravioli Entrees - shaking beef (portion size was definitely disappointing...as someone else noted, it's more like a salad than an entree), chicken curry (on the sweeter side but enjoyable) Sides - garlic noodles (little too sweet and overcooked noodles), garlic green beans (disappointing, not much flavor) Service was very pleasant but quite slow at times. Ambiance was amazing and probably the reason LC gets four stars instead of 3. read more

Great food and service. Jean Denoyer the owner knows his business- a fan since nyc location too! read more

I'm stunned this place is 4.1/5 and not higher. My partner and I chose Le Colonial because we saw the atmosphere looked top-notch for dinner and we figured French Vietnamese food would taste delicious. Our server recommended four of the appetizers o the left of the menu, the tuna tartare, the sea bass, the duck special, the yellow curry on the left page, and some other things I've forgotten. We ordered the shaking beef as our entree. Someone mentioned it was more like a glorified steak salad, to which I agree, but was still super delicious. We enjoyed the tuna tartare as an appetizer with a Vietnamese twist to it. It has soy caviar and lemongrass. The flavors were very enjoyable. We're from the Fort Lauderdale / Miami side of Florida, and we WISH we had food like this at this pricing closer to us. My partner says he'd rate it a 4.5/5. I'd rate Le Colonial as the same or higher. Tip: check the dress code if you're going to sit inside like we did, and bring a light sweater. read more

Absolutely delicious -- truly one of the best restaurants in Naples! The dining room is beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waitress was lovely, and the service overall was excellent. I started with the beet salsa, which was fresh and flavorful. For my main course, I had the salmon with vegetables -- perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. I finished with the pineapple upside-down cake, and it was the perfect sweet ending. A must-try spot if you're in the area! read more

Truly a wonderful experience! We sat outside at their absolutely gorgeous patio that was heated so even with it being in the 50s it still felt okay.

Went for lunch and had their prix fixe menu. The service is very professional, and spot on and [[HIGHLIGHT]]their patio is lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The dumplings were wonderful, tasty with just the right amount of sauce. The beef stir fry was delicious, a tiny bit heavy on onions but it didn't detract from the flavor. The vanilla crème brûlée was topped with fresh fruit and was perfect, tasty and creamy with just enough sweetness! Definitely heading back for dinner soon. read more

Best meal I've had in Naples in years. Everything we tried was so good. Going back soon.

I'm glad to be the second person to review this restaurant. As a French-American who love Vietnamese food, I was not disappointed. We were extremely well received, not a surprised as I believe I recognized few staff from Rebecca's Wine Bar, so good management. The restaurant ambiance, design and interior looks amazing. Like an old French-Vietnamese brasserie. I recently went to Singapore and one restaurant was exactly in this type of details and I loved it too. The waiter from Serbia, Chad is excellent and made the experience elevated. On the culinary side, the papaya salad and the pork rolls were traditionally hand made and tasty. The grilled red snapper was just amazing and I will come back 100 times just for it. It's market price but so good and prepared. The cooking is excellent and more on the lemon side so like Laos/Thai/Vietnamese and it succulent. Overall, it's probably one of the nicest restaurant on 5th avenue. The pricing point is still high but good enough. I will come back to try the sea bass and the duck. read more

Food and service are amazing. My favorite is the eggplant stir fry dish. Beef noodle soup and spring rolls are also wonderful.

The ambiance inside and outside creates a great vibe in the restaurant! The food was amazing, we had the tuna tartare and beef ravioli (not pictured). The tuna tartare was probably the best I have ever had and the beef ravioli was amazing and unique as well! For dinner, I had the seabass, and my boyfriend had the beef stir fry. The seabass was amazing, perfectly crispy and the sauce was to die for. The beef stir fry was delicious as well, spicy and tender. The only reason for 3 stars as opposed to 4 or 5 is the size of my fish. For $46, you could imagine the fish would be enough for a meal. Unfortunately, I feel like I took maybe 6-8 bites and was finished. It was a little disappointing because it was amazing. On the other hand the beef stir fry was a great portion size. Service was good and everything came out in a timely manner. read more

Five stars for the food, five stars for the ambiance, four stars for the service (bar / lounge area).

paid $115 for a fried snapper and the waiter BUTCHERED it tableside! another person was helping him debone it and he took MOST of the fish flesh away, left us with two half minced pieces of filet less than a few ounces.

Le Colonia is a true 5 star restaurant experience in downtown Naples. The atmosphere is stunning, and you truly feel like you were just transported to another place when you walk through the door. A place you don't want to ever leave. We went to Le Colonial to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation time, but in exchange we were treated like royalty by the manager and staff. We also had the opportunity to relax at the bar and sample some of the bartender's great craft cocktails. For dinner, we each had an appetizer and then shared 3 entrees. The standout dishes were, well everything. The mixture of ingredients and flavors is different and delicious. But if forced to choose, I'd say both the crispy and fresh spring rolls, the pan seared chicken dumplings, the halibut a la vong, the grilled Branzino, and the green beans. If you're trying to impress someone, definitely take them here for dinner or just drinks at the bar. It's truly a special place. read more

Beautiful restaurant, French colonial themed design. It recalls a time when Vietnam was a Franchise protectorate. The menu is Vietnamese with English equivalents that fully describe the menu items. The Vietnamese diet includes many spicy items and hot peppers. The chef can reduce the amount of heat when requested. Our evening lasted two and a half hours. We were never rushed by the attentive staff. I completely recommend Le Colonial for a truly enjoyable evening. read more
