We went here for lunch on a Friday. We felt like trying something not located in the hotel, and…read moreended up here by the water. We were seated on the outside patio that overlooks water and yachts and regular boats. The day was beautiful and the ambiance of the restaurant added to our enjoyment. The daily special menu drew us in and we ordered from it. I had the tacos of the day, a mild white fish that I forget the name, and they were very good. A bargain at $10 for 2. I also had the volcano shrimp which was very good. They were fried and slightly spicy. The diced mango on top was a good addition. I enjoyed my dishes very much. The wife had shrimp tacos and liked them very much. Her two tacos came with a lot of fresh shrimp that was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. Her meal came with slaw and she chose onion rings, which were good. She did not order off the special menu and I think her two tacos were $22. The kid had sliders from the special menu, which included two sliders for $8. She ate 1.5 sliders which is good for her. Our server Stephanie was attentive and friendly. She answered all our questions on the menu and was pleasant. The restaurant is located in a shopping mall-type structure and there is ample free parking. Overall, we had a very nice experience.

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.

Each winter my wife and I escape the frigid north for Marco Island. This was our eighth consecutive…read moreannual visit and an especially meaningful one, with our 55th anniversary this June. 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.

It is a casual seafood restaurant located on the Barron River which connects to the Gulf. There are a few parking spaces in front otherwise it's free street parking where you can find it. There is a school across the street so parking can fill quickly. Most of the seating area is outside so you enter and then find an empty table. Menus are on the table and then a server arrives and takes your order. If the weather is right sitting next to the water is a nice calming experience. I sat in a screen enclosed covered patio. My order was for the fried grouper sandwich with french fries and cole slaw for $27. Yes grouper is expensive. The meal arrived about 10 minutes later. The fried fish fillet sitting in on the long bun was HUGE and it looked delicious too. I was very happy and then I started to eat it. Everything with that sandwich was excellent except its taste. It was the batter for me. The taste wasn't bad at all but it didn't stand out to me. Whatever batter they use to fry with is not my favorite and that is the only reason I don't give a 4 score here. The french fries were excellent in taste and showed me that Triad's puts effort in making them. Also the slaw was cool and a nice palate cleanser. The table service was friendly and attentive. I like Triad's and would be happy to return. But I would probably try something else on the menu that isn't fried. The batter taste is my opinion and I'm sure others will disagree. Another fact about eating here is that they charge 3.5% more for credit cards use. With an iced tea, tax and tip, my lunch cost $40...kind of expensive for Everglades City, FL.

The prawns were grilled and melted butter came with it on the side. The lamb was cooked very well, but the (red wine and mushroom?) sauce tasted slightly strange. $45 for the rack, plus $32 for two prawns! So, their special cost $77. My fault for not asking I guess.

I grabbed a seat at the bar and after perusing the menu decided on the Gator Basket ($24.99). I also ordered their "Diving Pelican" draft beer to drink ($8.00). The Gator basket arrived within 15 minutes. This consisted of small cut up pieces of breaded deep fried gator tail along with fries. The gator tail was very good - tasty, moist, cooked perfectly and served hot with their Everglades Tartar Sauce. My drink was cold and refreshing. It tasted similar to Shock Top. I enjoyed my meal and the relaxing atmosphere of the Tiki style Bar. It's a great motorcycle ride down here to Everglades City and this is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a cold drink. There were a lot of interesting things on their menu and I'm looking forward to coming back to try their Grouper Reuben. Check them out.

The restaurant feels like a colorful, garden‑style hideaway, full of charm, warmth, and the delight of discovering a true local gem. And of course, the two resident chickens, Popcorn and Carmel, add their own quirky personality to the experience. Our server, Mimi, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The café is tucked away along the back roads of Chokoloskee, surrounded by the kind of old‑Florida scenery that's becoming rare. The food was outstanding. We started with tostones (fried plantains with garlic), then enjoyed the pork sandwich with chips and the pork plate with rice, beans, and two perfectly cooked sweet plantains. Every bite was rich with authentic Cuban flavor. We finished with the flan, which was so good we could have easily ordered a second. With its lovely outdoor seating, light radio music floating through the air, and a staff that treats you like family, HavAnnA Café delivers an experience that feels both heartfelt and memorable. The only thing missing was a hammock--I could have taken a nap and geared up for an early dinner. The seafood stew looked especially tempting for next time. A wonderful stop in a part of Florida that still holds its original soul. And by the way, don't leave without grabbing a bottle of their hot sauce--sweet, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick!!!
