Place was super clean, decor was a tad dated, wasn't very busy during lunch. The pricing on the menu was noted how it didn't increase over time so they are obviously corning the value of their food. Honestly food was good I had the grouper sandwich-blackened. Was good on a fresh brioche bun. With lettuce tomato and red onion. I will say- the waitress did something so sweet! The kids meals come with a choice of fruit, but with a very newly named toddler there's some fruit that hard, honeydew, cantalope it's hard and difficult for a baby to eat. She came and told us she gave us strawberries and blueberries and a little bit of banana because it's hard sometimes for the young baby's to eat! That was so above and beyond and it definitely was one of the top takeaways from the vacation! Keep it up Hoots!

If biscuits and gravy are on the menu, especially in the south, I gotta give it a try. Mine came with two eggs and a generous portion of gravy. I liked the gravy a lot -- the sausage was very tasty. The biscuits were good. I like a fluffier, buttery-er biscuit but these were pretty good. My eggs were ordered over medium but were a little on the easy side -- I find everyone has a different idea of done-ness terms when it comes to eggs. I may switch to scrambled for future orders! Hubs ordered the French toast with strawberries. He said it was very tasty but a little underdone, needed a little crisping up. Friend ordered her usual breakfast tacos. I tasted a bite -- very good! The sausage really shined in that taco! Cute medium size space with a patio. We ate inside due to it being August. Server was very efficient and friendly.

The service is absolutely phenomenal. Your water glass never gets below half full--they're constantly refilling it before you even realize you need more. The attention to detail is incredible. They'll replace your silverware as many times as necessary throughout the meal, making sure everything is spotless and ready for the next course. It's the kind of service that makes you feel genuinely taken care of. The food was outstanding. We started with the carpaccio, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor--easily one of the best steaks I've had. And don't overlook the mashed potatoes. They were rich, creamy, and absolutely to die for. Parking is available throughout the shopping center, and they also offer valet service if you prefer the convenience. If you're looking for an exceptional steakhouse or a special dining experience in Marco Island, Marco Prime should be at the top of your list. One piece of advice: make reservations. They fill up quickly, and for good reason. I'll say it again--make reservations! You don't want to miss out on one of the best dining experiences on the island.

Marco Prime has always been our go to Valentine's Day spot for ambiance, great service, and excellent food. This year was very different. For Valentine's, we were given a fixed menu that eliminated longtime favorites, including the 10 oz filet and their New York-style cheesecake. We settled for steak frites at $140 per person. The steaks were gristly and underwhelming, and their usually exquisite beef carpaccio looked and tasted more like a chopped salad in a retirement home. When a manager checked on us and I calmly explained our disappointment, his response was, "But sir, our beef carpaccio is Wagyu," which did nothing to address the real issue. A co owner then came by, was empathetic, and asked, "How can I make this right?" In a lighthearted way I said a slice of their award winning cheesecake would be wonderful. He promised, "I'll make that happen." We pushed aside our half eaten steaks and waited. Ten minutes later, our (excellent!) server informed us there was no cheesecake that night after all. For a bill north of $500 (which included our customary 25% tip) on a special occasion, that combination of poor food, tone deaf management, and unfulfilled promises made the evening a real disappointment. For contrast, the other Marco Walk Plaza restaurants we visited that week--Oyster Society, DaVinci's, Nacho Mama's, and The Salty Dog--were all excellent. Sadly, Marco Prime has lost our business. A celebrity cruise meal at Viking cruise prices. As a postscript, our son lives in Naples, and his dog Murphy ultimately enjoyed our leftover steak frites without complaint. Unfortunately, "Murphy loved it" is not the standard we use when deciding where to enjoy a special Valentine's dinner.

One of the biggest surprises was the breakfast buffet, which became an unexpected highlight of our vacation. The selection was outstanding, with endless pastries, fresh fruit, juices, yogurt parfaits, bagels, breads, cheeses, and more. It felt elevated without being overwhelming, and everything was fresh and beautifully presented. We also added eggs to our breakfast each morning, which were served with a crispy rösti cake, roasted tomato, and bacon. On our second visit, I tried the egg white frittata, which was also very good. The breakfast experience alone is worth a visit. Dinner was equally impressive. My husband enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and chicken entrée during one visit and joined me in ordering the cavatelli on our second visit after seeing how much I loved it the first time. The cavatelli ended up being my favorite dish of the entire trip and one I would happily order again. Our son thoroughly enjoyed the tenderloin as well. For appetizers, I tried both the artichokes and the haricots verts with almonds. While both were excellent, the haricots verts were absolutely my favorite and are something I'll remember long after the trip. The complimentary bread service with rosemary and salt was delicious and the perfect way to begin the meal. I also enjoyed the Flowers Chardonnay and an excellent espresso martini during dinner. For dessert, we each ordered the lava cake, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. What truly set The Merchant Room apart, however, was the service. Dennis was exceptional. Not only did he provide outstanding hospitality while we were dining, but he also warmly greeted us whenever we crossed paths elsewhere around the resort. His friendliness, professionalism, and genuine kindness made a lasting impression. Between the outstanding food, excellent breakfast buffet, attentive service, and welcoming atmosphere, The Merchant Room became one of our favorite parts of our stay. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning on our next visit to Naples.

The service and staff was very professional as you would expect from a Four Seasons establishment. The restaurant is located right off the main lobby which kind of limits it privacy. If you can get a table outside, it's way more inviting. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors and a nice size bar. Be sure to book a reservation cause it fill quickly. Parking isn't a problem since there's valet service, though it does come with a $15 fee. The Merchant Room is definitely worth a visit.
