We were seated around 8:20 in the front dining room and they had a sweet card on the table for my guys birthday and our waiter was super attentive. We started with drinks and delicious bread and toppings. We each had salad and I had the scallops and he had escargot. We shared the short rib dinner and it was out of this world. We also had a dessert for the birthday. What a lovely evening and delicious food. Amazing service and beautiful place.

They should add this to the menu since it was a price fix special. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will return.

He had us taste two that might suit us. We selected one and we truly enjoyed the entire bottle. The food has always been exceptional. My companion ordered a chicken dish. I don't quite remember the name, but there wasn't a crumb on his plate when he was done. I ordered the short ribs and they were melt in your mouth. It was accompanied with carrots and mashed potatoes with gravy. I forgot to mention that we ordered the scallops as an appetizer. I can't even say enough about how delicious they were. Lastly, we ordered the cheesecake. I am from New York and I love cheesecake but I don't like the commercial juniors cheesecake. As I understand it, the cheesecake we had was not made of ricotta, but you wouldn't know it. It was melt in your mouth superb. Two of my friends that were with me loved it. I will never stop going to El Basque and I highly recommend you try!

2 of us were able to make same day reservations for a Sunday early evening dinner…read more SERVICE: Andreana was our server for the evening. She was friendly, attentive and pleasant when we asked to move our table to one a little farther away from the greenery, where a few no-see-ums were pesky. Our water glasses were frequently topped off and it was refreshing to be able to order apps without having to order the entree at the same time. She even brought us cushions as the chairs are a bit deep. BAR: Cosmo was well made, average size, pricey at $22.50. House white was an average pour, reasonable for $12. FOOD: The chicken liver was tasty and cooked perfectly. The onion soup was just ok, $16. It was a bit bland, but the biggest issue was the size and toughness of some of the onions. They were the outer part of the onion and were larger than typical in onion soup. The cheese was flavorful. I would have preferred a half portion, as the app size is huge and soup isn't an app that is easily shared. The Boeuf Bourguignon was flavorful and tender, but again, way too much of it. The accompaniment was scallop potatoes. I'd recommend mashed to make use of the yummy gravy in the bowl. The Veggies were bright and tender, but served in a bowl so challenging to cut up. ATMOSPHERE: It is pretty seating outdoors. The piano player was a really nice touch, adding to the charm. There are no-see-ums, so if you are someone who they seem to target, I'd recommend some type of bug repellent if you are going to sit indoors.

The first couple years we moved to Naples, this was my go to seafood restaurant (for date night,…read moreNYE, guest visits, etc). Absolutely love the Chilean sea bass. Last couple of years, we have been going to new restaurants in the area with varying results. My niece sent me a gift certificate for Christmas since she remembered when I brought her here with her family. I am glad she did since it reminded me how delicious the food is and how attentive the servers/staff are. We started with appetizers (foil gras and caprese salad). For our main entrees, I ordered the halibut special, and my husband got the seafood risotto. Both were delicious. Though I preferred the Chilean sea bass, the halibut was cooked well (buttery, flaky, etc) and came with lighter sides than the Chilean sea bass. The risotto was creamy with lots of seafood. Very good selection of wines by the glass. Overall, we had a very good meal and a pleasant evening. Since we didn't came here for their early dining specials, the check total was a bit pricey but is within reason for a 5th avenue restaurant. We Will definitely come back again.

Perhaps the most unique and forgettable meal I have ever had in US! I arrived in Naples Friday…read moreevening and was craving for food. Head to fifth ave. Unfortunately many restaurants there were fully seated and fortunately I got one in Bistro 821. I sat next to a couple and they asked me to join them soon after I just ordered my food. It was the second time that I was invited to have meal with strangers but the first time that I actually did that!!! Nervous at first but it turned out to be unforgettable. We chatted everything from food, sports, cities, cars, to more serious things like human and AI. They also recommended several sightseeing spots around the town so I really appreciate it! For food, I got the wagyu sirloin pot roast as entree. Good but not awesome. It came with two huge pieces and a scoop of mashed potatoes and two carrots and green beans. The meat was OK, the sauce was a bit too thick and I thought it was not a good idea to put both savory and sweet sauce on the meat. The mashed potatoes could be creamier. I did like the veggies as they were not oily, nor overly seasoned, thus paired well with the already-heavy meat and sauce. I also got a side of asparagus and it was good. Complimentary bread was delicious. When I finished my entree, the husband just suggested that we get some dessert. So.... After nearly 2 years without sweet food, I finally got some dark chocolate cake with ice cream. An amazing experience! Even though the food was not as good as I expected I should still give it 5 stars lol
