    Sitting at the bar with the fan blowing on me on this hot day.

    I was walking down Main Street here and didn't feel like sitting at one of the fancy restaurants to have a drink outside. Found this place on Yelp and it was perfect to sit down outside up to the bar and have a Margarita. Nice conversation with the owner Al.

    My family and I are vacationing in Naples from Texas. We have been here the past 3 days and plan to come back for another 2 before we leave town. This has become the highlight of our vacation - meeting Al, drinking the coldest beer (serves beer and wine) in town, and eating the best lunch around (lunch served from 11-2). You feel like family the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a laid back spot with good food, drink, and company, this is the place for you. You can get 14 beers for under $80! That's a deal. PS the negative reviews are pretty off base. Al agrees.

    A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

I was going to order the calamari and 6 oysters. Putting north of $30 for supper. One of the people in the party ordered a smash burger, and I thought, what the heck, I'll order that. Pretty good burger. For those who like to drink under a thatched roof outside, there is a tikki hut. The establishment's motif is all over the map. But let's just stay with the island theme in Naples, FL. Would I go back again? I don't know, I have had this book marked, and I have eaten at another of their establishments, Sonny's. They do not have the same menu. I like that.

    We ate here Wednesday night and it is by far the best meal we have had…read more We sat outside on the patio with a great view of the water and we could hear the music at Celebration Park. Our server Mike, did an excellent job taking care of us. We started off with a couple cocktails. I had an Old Fashioned and my wife had the Not Bogged Down. For dinner I had the Chorizo Encrusted Red Snapper and my wife had one of the specials which was the Tripletail. She said it was the best seafood dish she has ever had. For dessert, we split the special Crème Brûlée topped with diced fruit. We enjoyed the dessert so much, we purchased one for a sweet family of four sitting next to us. Our server Mike and the owner, Barry, helped make that happen and we appreciate it.

    Service was excellent. Ambiance was perfect…read more And the cocktails were expert level. I wish I lived in Naples so I could visit here once a week until I have tried all their cocktails. Craft cocktails with homemade syrups, tinctures, house infused spirits, house blend vermouth, house blend bitters. Whoever runs their drinks program is paying attention & serving up delicious & unique drinks. It's becoming more rare to visit a restaurant that feels like someone's singular vision for a neighborhood or community (instead of a corporate venture). This place is unique & elegant but approachable & welcoming. Highly recommend.

Definitely not for those with claustrophobia!! We were initially told they don't take reservations, yet several parties arrived claiming they had reservations. We also requested indoor seating, but despite plenty of empty tables inside, the owner insisted we wait for outdoor seating because "more people were coming." Meanwhile, regulars appeared to receive preferential treatment and were seated ahead of others. As for the food, the fried calamari, shrimp, scallops, and smelt were the highlights. All crispy, fresh, and very enjoyable. Unfortunately, the marinara sauce tasted watered down, and while both pasta dishes were cooked perfectly al dente, they lacked seasoning and flavor overall. Bar service limited to beer and wine. Disappointing experience due to the inconsistent service and uneven dining experience.

    A little bit of Naples, Italy in Naples, Florida!…read more Parking: we went at 3pm which was in between meal time so parking was easy. We got a spot right in front of the restaurant on 5th Avenue Drinks: it was piping hot outside so we just had water. However they seem to have a pretty extensive wine list!! Food: we had Penne alla Norma and lasagna. Both were great. Actually, the Penne was great because it was in a light tomato sauce that was perfect for a super hot day. Service: we had Derek as our server. Seems like much of the staff are folks from Italy. We exchanged Italy stories with him. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and funny! Atmosphere/vibe: it was pretty empty when we went at 3pm but that was perfect for us. The only downside was when we walked inside to use the restroom. The inside part of the restaurant smells kind of gross, which is concerning. The bathroom smelled better than the restaurant! Pet friendly: yes, very pet friendly in the outdoors. We sat under a covered patio and they welcomed our puppy with open arms! Though they didn't offer him any water. Age group: we saw mainly adults but I'm certain this places sees all ages of customers. Bathroom: clean Return:yes!
