Great friendly attentive service. Overpriced, overpriced, overpriced. $27 for Salmon Eggs Benedicts. My friends and family go to Naples a lot. Will never go back to M, will never recommend. read more

Service was excellent (I have a girl-crush on Jordan!) Food was perfectly done and tasteful as "all get-out". Lovely ambiance ...great waterview and waterfront tables... everyone from the maitre-d all the way through had smiles on their faces and the desire to ensure that you had a great time. Went back a second night while we were in town! Dress code: casual to dressy...(I had come from a catamaran cruise so I have sneakers on ...they didn't say a word other than, "Welcome!"! read more

we chose this place because of the great Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! the fig blue salad was the best salad i've ever had, so delicious and fresh. everything we had was GREAT, from the bread with olive tapenade to the entrees, (dayboat fish special and filet mignon) was superb. read more

M Waterfront Grille was a wonderful place for lunch. Recently renovated into a sylish, modern, spacious and airy establishment literally on the water (on the bay in Venetian Village), I will be back again and again for lunch and dinner. Excellent waterfront views while enjoying my food and company. I am a big fan of Ceasar salad, which is hard to find (good ceasar) in this town. It was delicious and served topped with anchovies upon request. The croutons were homemade and side of bread was fresh and chewy. Our server was happy, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. My mojito was also fantastic. The bartender paid attention to detail and knew what she was concocting. They had some well thought out specials that my friends ordered and staying true to tradition, I had a sampling of everyone's plate. Thumbs up for all. The owner was making his rounds with a smile, asking about his customer's experience, listening to feedback. There are some nice shops to stroll after your meal or before while waiting for your family/friends. Great place to eat for a large party of just the two of you. Also a mellow relaxing atmosphere for a mellow family with children. If out of town guests insist on taking you out for a great meal, consider M Waterfront Grille as your choice... read more

Service and atmosphere were nice but the food is uninventive and expensive - think PF Chang's with entrees smothered in sauce for no reason. We ordered our food and the apps came out within 5 mins immediately followed by the entree. We were too annoyed to have dessert so we took our $150 check and left in under 40 mins. Never going back. read more

We stopped into this fabulous place in Naples. And we split two items one was the crab egg rolls which also has shrimp in it and we also had the lobster roll. If you want to great place to go with your pop they have outside seating. Or you can sit in by the lounge or along the back wall which overlooks the harbor area enjoy the meal here read more

We walked into the front door of the restaurant and were basically ignored. In front of us was the bar area with a number of tables along the side of the bar. However the main dining room was straight ahead next to windows overlooking the bay. Still no one greeted us so we walked around the side and discovered two ladies and asked to be seated in the dining room. One (limping from a skiing accident) did so without a smile. The same young lady seated an elderly person who was using a walker, but without giving him any assistance whatsoever. After an extended wait, a server (Jenny) delivered the dinner menu, but without any apology for the wait. For some reason, she first waited on a table of five that arrived at least 5 to 10 minutes after we did. As it was an early time for dinner, we asked if we can get something lighter than what was on the full dinner menu. The server said that she had to get the permission of the manager, but reluctantly acquired another menu that was available for those in the bar area. That menu had just we wanted; salads and light dinners. I would rate the food as only OK. I could go on, but the service didn't get any better even though we made our dissatisfaction known to who appeared to be two assistant managers periodically walking around the dining room. SERVICE TRAINING NEEDED. The only positive side of the experience was the view out of our dining room window. However, we won't return as there are other fine restaurants in this same shopping area and the service here was poor at best. read more

We had dinner at M last night and could not have had a better experience. The decor is very upscale, but casual. We were seated in the backroom overlooking the water. The ambiance of the room had a nice buzz to it, but not such that you could not have a conversation. We met the director of food and wine, who had come to check on us and immediately struck up a great conversation about some common interests. We also were lucky enouugh to have a great waiter in Dale, who became like a friend by the end of the evening. The food, literally from the starters (excellent crab and shrimp spicy egg rolls), to the main courses (some of us had excellent fish dishes, one had a beautifully prepared filet, and a pasta dish that was great for a picky eater in the group), to the dessert (a wonderful semi-freddo with fresh fruit) was outstanding. Every diner raved over every dish. The wine list was outstanding as well with a huge variety and various price points. All of this does not come cheaply, but it was worth every penny for a great night, great staff and great food. read more

Worth every single penny. The food was exquisite , the service was great and the ambiance was serene ! I drove all the way from miami to visit Naples and yelp helped me find this restaurant. What a surprise. What an experience. All the dishes were filled with amazing ingredients. Thank you for the experience. read more

Went for lunch last week and tremendously impressed!!! Not only was the place beautiful, but the food was on another level!! The roast beef sandwich was so full of flavor , the baguette perfect! I'm not much of a salad eater, but the salad that came with it showed someone really cared. Even the tomatoes in the salad were those little yellow ones, not the average red ones that everyone else uses! The server was first class and really knew her stuff!! Fantastic experience!!! read more

Outstanding ambiance. Attentive and professional service. Excellent shrimp rolls, scallops, and steak (both ribeye and filet). Highly recommend and will return. read more

I haven't been here in awhile and I'm glad I returned. This place has great atmosphere over looking the bay. I had the Burrata Salad, a little pricey at $15, but was very good and colorful. My father-in-law had the Caesar which was a half head of romaine. I enjoyed the Short Ribs which was tasty. Others in my group got the fish special which was about 5 ounces which is too small at that price. I would recommend this place for dinner - we all enjoyed our dinner. read more

Food was good (at best). Nice atmosphere. High hopes given other reviews and location. TERRIBLE service. SLOW, waiter didn't really seem to know anything, SLOW! Won't be going back read more

We joined M Waterside Grille for brunch. The food was SPECTACULAR. However, we all feel ill later that night from the meal. Not sure if it was a bad dose of shrimp, or what. We all enjoyed shrimp cocktail, and lobster/shrimp spring rolls to start. We continued with all different entrees. Not sure what it was. Unfortunately the sickness has now ruined this restaurant for us. The atmosphere and view were great... read more

Lovely place to dine. We ordered the strip and the potatoes were delicious. Pretty setting. Nice walk afterwards watching the fish.

Ordered the shrimp and crab spring rolls,lobster salad and lobster roll. Guess you could say my husband and I enjoy lobster. All were excellent. Service was fantastic and very helpful with our little girl. My only negative was the prices which were a little high especially with ordering off the lounge menu. read more

Wonderful food and outstanding service. Situated on Venetian Bay. Pricey but this is Naples after all. Prefer M Waterfront over 5th Avenue restaurants. read more

Our dinner experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The food was delicious and the service we received from Jordan was next level. read more

Rip off. This is solely based on getting robbed. Went for happy hour , special menu, selection of meats $5 I chose salami. You get 2 so thin , thin, thin slices of rolled salami for $5. Maybe 10cents worth, cheese selection $5. You get a thumb nail size piece of cheese, maybe 25 cents cost, bruschetta about $8 2 slices with topping maybe 50 cents worth. If you are stupid rich and love taking it you know where then come here. Otherwise run far away read more

Excellent food! You can not go wrong here. Try Sunday brunch. The beets with fried goat cheese is unbelievably good, be sure to try it! Make a reservation on opentable and bring your dog and eat on the patio. read more

I don't tend to write a review based one visit, last night was our third try. We were there twice about a year ago. The first time was wonderful. Seats by the water, outstanding food and service. The second visit that trip was less successful but any place can have an off night. We had reservations at 6:45 last night. We were greeted at the hostess stand after a few moments, and taken to our booth. They remembered that we needed one gluten free menu. Bonus points for that. We waited about 10 minutes and finally a busboy came by and asked if we wanted some water as our server Gabrielle was busy. About 5 min later our server arrived with water and took our drink order. Drinks arrived promptly. After a while she returned, read the specials to us. We ordered a shrimp cocktail to share. Shrimp were cold and good. I never understand though why when you order something to share why only 1 seafood fork comes with the order. We knocked off the shrimp and ordered a second drink. When the drinks arrived the now empty shrimp bowl and plates stayed with us. In fact they stayed with us for a long time. Where we were sitting was a super highway for staff including our server. And the managers. No one ever looked down to see we were sitting with our now dirty dishes. My wife who has the gluten issue ordered short ribs, i ordered the veal and shrimp with rosotto. Dinner arrived promptly, one shortrib with a few root veg pieced under it. Not much food given the price. My veil was ok, not great. Of the 3 shrimp, 1 was fine, 1 tasted like iodine, and didn't eat the third one. In all disappointing given the price. The Manger did stop by just after the food was delivered but before we had tasted. We never saw the server again till we were finished with the meal. Again, staff was walking by the booth all the time but we never had our water glass filled again, nor did anyone ask how the food was after we had a chance to taste it. I guess our feelings are that this is a typical place that has a great view so the prices reflect the view, and the food and service can slide. I doubt we will make the 45 minute drive again to dine there. . read more

Slow service kept this from a 5 star review. I loved my lunch of "gourmet grilled cheese", fontina, brie and Fuji apple on artisan bread. The M Waterfront Grille is in Venetian Village, a charming group of shops and restaurants on the water. You can opt to eat indoors or out on the patio overlooking the boats and waterfront homes and condos. A perfect setting. read more

A friend searched far and wide for a good place to have a special Sunday brunch. She selected M, to our collective regret. The former Maxwell's has had an attractive redo. Its location is beautiful. The music was nice. All downhill from there. The Sunday brunch/lunch menu was very limited. The rather expensive lobster salad did have at least one or two pieces of lobster hidden in the mayonaisse. The smoked salmon flatbread turned out to be mostly flatbread and very little salmon. Lots of ingredients, none of which added to flavor or substance. Eggs Benedict, a safety choice, yielded the creative substitution of overcooked sliced bacon for the traditional Canadian bacon and left me with an afternoon of heartburn. Our waiter was very smarmy as he described all the above as mouthwateringly delicious. The best fun with him was when he came to ask how everything was and before we could answer told us it was really yummy and left. Smart move on his part. I'd say this is a great place to have a drink but to eat somewhere else. read more

Came after 8 and no problem get a seat on the water. Came with two daughters who got kids meals (very good and perfect portions). I had tuna. Very delicious! A little pricey but a nice treat! read more

I am on vacation and read about "M Waterfront Grille" in various magazines and opentable.com, urbanspoon.com and so on...the consensus was that it is a nice place and worth dining at. So here we go: I had lunch here today (9/8/11) with my wife and mother... Decor/ambiance: Simple and not very flashy. Clean, open and a nice view of the water. It was quiet and the bathrooms were clean and tidy as well. Menu options and specials: Simply put - There as something for everyone. The server went over the specials and described with great detail a sous vide eggs benedict with truffled hollandaise....wow that sounded good. Service: Our waitress was Dallas and she was fantastic! Attentive, quick and seemed to know her job well! I highly recommended her. What we ate: I went with the steak and mozzarella sandwich...and I gotta tell you, it rocked! My wife had the watermelon salad, she enjoyed it a lot, it is a bit sweet, but on a hot day, was very refreshing. My mother had the bento box with the clam chowder and tuna sandwich she enjoyed as well. We ate one other thing as well and I am choosing to separate it from the rest of the review because it seems...well...odd...we started off with the "Signature Shrimp & Crab Spring Roll" priced at $12.95. It tasted great, really...it was a very nice appetizer and I would eat it again. Butttttt...there is a huge problem with said appetizer. Let me first start off by pointing out that this restaurant is in Southwest Florida...on the water, and has very nice seafood offerings on its menu. Additionally at the very top of their menu they boldly proclaim: "The Chefs Strive to Use the Freshest Ingredients Available, Emphasizing Organics, Seasonal, Sustainable & Local Buying". THEY USE KRAB IN THEIR "Signature Shrimp & Crab Spring Roll"!!! Yes, imitation crab, fake stuff in a $13 appetizer! Really guys? Don't get me wrong, it was yummy, but I can not believe that a restaurant of this caliber (at least the one they are striving for) would ever consider using krab in any of their dishes. It really makes me question the rest of their menu items and what other corners they are cutting. Conclusion: I am disappointed in the chef for lying, I would probably go back and give it another chance however I would like to see a bit more transparency on menu items. read more

Service sucked and food took 90 minutes They even messed up my order and didn't fix it Burger was charred and way overlooked Ridiculously expensive and not even that good Highly DONT RECOMMEND read more

Had a late lunch today. Service was fine, My wife had a delicious lobster salad. I am a big fan of clam chowder, and the menu said theirs was " award winning." What I received was a bowl of cubed white potatoes in a creamy sauce, and an occasional piece of clam, if you could find it under the potatoes. We both agreed the dish was mislabeled. It truly was potato soup. For the first time in my life, I asked the waitress to remove the dish, She did, but offered me a bowl of tomato soup. BEWARE OF THE CLAM CHOWDER! read more

Their side of fries is 12 dollars and when I asked why it was so expensive the bar tender started to give me attitude and just said I don't make the prices. When I asked to talk to the manger they wouldn't event come out to talk to me. read more

I wasn't wowed by this place. Food: We started with a fig and pistachio baked brie (delicious) and a burrata salad (a little disappointing. Not much cheese). We came for the thanksgiving turkey dinner. The turkey itself was actually surprisingly good. It's usually my least favorite part of thanksgiving but I actually really enjoyed it. Also on the plate was mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a few Brussels sprouts. I didn't love the cranberry sauce or the mashed potatoes, which was disappointing. We finished with a slice of pumpkin pie (pretty tasty but very small) and a chocolate cake with pumpkin ice cream (tasted good). Service: Not awesome. We grabbed a drink at the bar before being seated and the bartender was gruff and made it seem like a burden that we were there. Our server for dinner was inattentive, and another server actually stepped in about halfway through dinner to help out because we were without a second round of drinks for so long. Our original server served our desserts without plates or knives, even after knowing we were splitting them between the 4 of us. Not eager to return here if I come back to Naples. read more

Absolutely fabulous! My husband and I received a gift card to visit a few months ago from a relative and heard such amazing things. We stopped in for lunch and had the best lunch I've had in a long time. We sat by the water and I had a chicken Caesar salad and my husband had the broken lasagna. As an appetizer we had the spring rolls which I highly recommend. While pricey, it was definitely worth it. I haven't had a good meal in a long time and will be back very soon. read more

Great birthday dinner. Veal was great and lobster perfectly cooked. Service was very good but kitchen got backed up even with several open tables. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Great menu selection, food and service is always excellent, also very dog friendly.

Good American style menu, quality food, large portions. Friendly staff, big place thats busy in season.

Had an awesome Bloody Mary with complimentary homemade coffee cake. Look forward coming back for dinner on our next visit

Service was great and the food was delicious. The complimentary apps and dessert were yum!!

This is by far my favorite spot in Naples for a luxurious brunch. The service is always superb and no matter whether you order the quiche Lorraine or the French toast, the food is impeccable! Highly recommend. read more

It was our first time dining here and we were very happy with the view, the service and most importantly the food. Ordered the Black Grouper and house specialty of Veal and Shrimp both were delicious and presented beautifully. Our daughter had the ever popular chicken tenders from the kids menu. Food was great and the overall dining experience was wonderful. The kids menu has a QR code that turned the artwork, she colored, into an animated broadway type marquis and other things, very creative and the first time we had experienced this. We will be back! read more

Enjoyed dinner at this restaurant last evening. We sat in a pleasant breeze on the deck facing the water. We tried this restaurant because they were pet friendly and allowed our standard poodle to sit with us while we dined. He enjoyed watching the birds and we enjoyed an an amazing dinner. The staff was friendly and dinners all enjoyed watching our well behaved dog share our vacation. read more

Came here for lunch and got the bento box. All the pieces and parts were wonderful. The fruit was extremely fresh and the grilled cheese wasn't your mama's grilled cheese. It had brie and extremely thin apple slices, who knew something could make me like grilled cheese even more. read more

We eat here every time we are in town (2-3 times per year). It has become my favorite place, in Naples. It has a fun atmosphere and the staff is always spot on. If you ask to sit in the veranda (we also do) you may bring your dog. They will bring a bowl of water a treat just for him/her! Be sure the call and make reservations. If you don't and you have to wait the shops in the village are very nice and you can wander around or order a glass of wine/cocktail and sit outside and relax. They have a nice wine list including a good selection by the glass. Their menu changes seasonally with specials nightly/weekly. I like that the source local vegetables and that they are not your standard options. My husband always orders one of the steak dishes and I adore any of their seafood options. Portions are generous and after a starter and entree we are stuffed. read more
