Beautiful elegant ambiance, dark, super comfortable seating, service on a 1-10 was a 7 plus. Could have asked our large party for cocktail refills, did not. Waitress was very friendly/, professional...Food was good, not spectacular. Their Farmhouse Salad ( I believe was the name) was fresh, delicious, lightly dressed. I had the Snapper Special over rice, vegetables. I did like this, but a little dry, perhaps a lemon, creamy butter drizzle would have elevated the dish. Again, levels of flavor make dishes worthy of a 5 star rating for me. Overall, we all loved it, will be back again read more

My dad visiting was wanting seafood so I decided to try...The moment we walked in. Great energy great atmosphere and smelled good. The service was spectacular and the food was delicious. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

My sister in law made a reservation for us to visit to Bay House during our Christmas visit to Naples. All I can say is wow!!! The food, service and ambiance was truly amazing and everyone in our party was thrilled with the experience. If you have a chance to stop by and taste the cuisine, you will not be disappointed. Try the homemade cornbread too, it's a crowd favorite. The restaurant has valet parking and they treat everyone special when you pull up to the door. We will definitely be heading back to the Bay House soon. read more

The Bay House has been around for a long time. It's waterfront with the front being on the Cocohatchee River. As this was my first visit I wanted to go for seafood. For starters I ordered 6 oysters on the half shell $21. Good but very small. For my entree I ordered Jerk Swordfish. The dish came with mashed sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and greens. I would say my swordfish was somewhat small in the size department. I could not really get a Jerk flavor either. So, value was somewhat lacking for this dish. $39 seemed a bit high. Mrs. K. had a shrimp cocktail and wedge salad for her entree. The shrimp cocktail was $21, and the salad was $16. 5 medium size shrimp with tail on. Service was impeccable. We almost felt spoiled by how much attention was paid to us. Our server was friendly, and the bus people really hustled. read more

Our favorite restaurant! The ambiance is great. Our service has always been good too. We travel from MN once a year. My three kiddos request Bay House each time we're in town. The curried cauliflower is great. The oysters are always phenomenal. read more

First time at The Bay House. Valet parking is nice. Food was just OK but portions are very small and way overpriced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main dining room was very noisy but with a nice view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We dined with 3 other couples. Service was OK but It took over 45 minutes to finally get our checks correct. We will not go back. read more

The Bayhouse had great food, service and drinks. We definitely go back next time we're in southwestern Florida.

Food was really good. It was very very warm in the bar area. I was sweating. Service was just ok Place was packed and ambience was nice. Band was very entertaining read more

The ambiance of the outdoor patio dining area is beautiful, but please put on mosquito repellent! The restaurant was kind enough to provide this, as the issue is real. However, the view and dining by the water is beautiful. We ordered the short rib and salmon dishes. The salmon dish comes with a sweet potato purée and broccoli. I wasn't a fan of this pairing with the sweet potato, and the broccoli is only slightly steamed. The salmon tasted great. For the short ribs dish, the short rib was tender and delicious. A bit more flavor would have been nice. It was paired with a mushroom spread, which tasted great, mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts seemed over cooked with a burnt taste, therefore, the short ribs and mushrooms was the best part of this dish. The service was spectacular. Kind, calm service. With bottle service, the server kept the glasses full. Overall, I would recommend this location for a romantic date night. It truly sets the mood. read more

This place is fancy! Menu looks awesome. Let's eat Pretty busy and we arrived an hour before our reservation. They were not quite ready for us so we looked to the bar to have a drink before dinner. This was packed as well and you really have to watch for an opening. We snagged a seat about the same time they called us for a table! Nice one outside with a view of nature. Servers were on point. Water filled, drink orders taken and menus given. So many good sounding things on the menu. Tough to choose. We landed on the South of Broad to start. This was a fried green tomato stack with a herbed goat cheese, tomato jam and pepper jelly vinaigrette. Amazing flavors. Yummy!! Next we moved on to mains. I ordered the special. Black grouper over a andouille sausage risotto. Really good. So many good flavors and the fish was cooked really good. Deb had the Charleston Carpetbagger Steak. The steak was cooked perfectly but the fried oysters were a little tough. Deb was not a fan of this one. We also had some of Chef Jamie's Cornbread. Very good. Really nice wine list that had something for everyone and decent prices. Probably best to buy a bottle than drink by the glass. Cocktails were really good. Nice pours and prepared well. A solid spot for dinner. Patio seating was good and the bugs stayed away most of the time. read more

I have food intolerances, so I make sure to check the menu, call to ask to speak to the front of the house and/or chef. I was assured that afternoon that there would be no problem making a sauce without onion or garlic and that I could have more than a plain piece of fish with nothing but salt and pepper, and that I would have a choice of fresh fish dishes to choose from. My Thursday night dinner was such a great disappointment. Carrie said on the phone that I'd have no difficulty with my allium intolerance, as all sauces can be made to order. Not even a possibility! The GM was so proud to share that there are only 12 burners for the 600 covers that night. So big pots of sauces are prepared in advance. No way that a simple but delicious sauce would be possible. The dried up salt and pepper-less crab appetizer came after the main course. Oh, did you order that? Duh! Never coming back and sharing the experience with everyone we know and don't know yet. Not even any consideration off our bill with all the hassles we went through. read more

The Bay House - Packed and noisy! - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

Truly extraordinary! It's our annual tradition to have dinner here while in the area and last night may have been the very best ever in our decade+ dining here. Our server was fantastic. And the food was AMAZING. The oysters on the half shell were perfectly salty and sweet. The crab cocktail is the best of the menu. And other menu favorites include the Seafood BLT, the corn crab chowder, and the MUST DO house cornbread with honey butter. You can go where the tourists go, or you can have the very best of North Naples with the locals at The Bay House. Cheers, Y'all! read more

I booked an outdoor waterfront table here for Christmas dinner. It turned out to be quite a chilly Christmas in Naples. I figured my Chicago family could handle it if we bundled up and were under a heater, but after freezing earlier in the day canceled our reservation since they couldn't find anything indoors. Fortunately, we were able to get another waterfront table reservation for later in the week when it was more typical Florida weather. The atmosphere is absolutely perfection. The entire restaurant is beautiful, but we loved sitting out by the water. The service was pretty stellar too and our kids enjoyed being at a "fancy" restaurant, which in my opinion was a little too fancy for them. The food was good, but nothing amazing...you're paying mostly for the atmosphere and service. I love a good seafood tower so got the smaller one for my entree, but it was one of the more underwhelming seafood towers I've had and I wished I had ordered something else. My 12 and 7 year olds happily ate from the kids menu (a pasta/shrimp and a cheeseburger). My 10 year old insisted on the seafood BLT from the grown up menu, which was way too sophisticated for his taste and ended up eating his siblings meals...and complaining he was hungry later on. He promised me he will never order from an adult menu again. :) I had a few bites of his entree and wasn't such a fan either, but then again it's not something I'd typically order. The kids did get to try their first oysters, which they didn't love, but I did find them to be really good! And the glass of rose I had with my meal was also quite lovely. And for dessert we all shared an ice cream sundae and key lime pie, which is a must for us when on the menu. The key lime pie made up for the so so seafood tower. I'd definitely come back for the lovely waterfront view alone. I'd also probably order something else next time and maybe I'd be more of a fan of the food. read more

The seating and ambiance of the restaurant was very appealing, the view of the river was beautiful as well. I thought the food was just okay overall. The Corvina didn't have much flavor and needed more sauce to compensate, although the broccolini was great. The Mussels were decent, the garlic onion wine sauce was delicious. read more

Went to the Bay House to celebrate my birthday. Place was full but we were seated immediately at our reservation time. I had the Dover sole which was reasonably priced. Very good. The other people in my party enjoyed their meal as well Decent wine and cocktail list. Our waiter Rares was very attentive and helpful. I was offered a complementary piece of cake. A nice addition. read more

From the pictures on the web site, the outdoor seating looked great. However, when we got there we were seated in a lackluster area right next to a stinky swamp. It was hard to sit. The food was pretty good though. We shared the poke trio. The most interesting part was the watermelon poke which satisfied my "raw" fish craving since I am preggo. It actually tasted just like the real thing. I also had the roasted black cod which melted in your mouth. I ended with the key lime dessert which was a bit too tart. The food was good but the atmosphere was lacking (at least where we were seated). read more

Excellent dinner from start to finish. We were celebrating my birthday and our waitress could not have been nicer. We had the oysters and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. I had the scallops, my friend had the stew and my daughter had chicken fingers. We sat outside on the deck and had a lovely view of the water and sunset. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion restaurant. read more

A fabulous find on our trip with many interesting creations as it was hard to decide what to order. I did order the petite filet with fried oysters and fingerling potatoes. The steak was cooked perfect and the oysters had a nice light batter with a tasty roumalard sauce. We added to our order the local farmer salad which was super fresh and my husband enjoyed fresh raw oysters. The chef also gave tables a taster of a lovely cream of broccoli soup. Everything people ordered looked fabulous and was wishing I was a local so I could be back soon. Note that this restaurant is a little more business casual, but not suit and tie if that is not your style, don't come super casual or beach attire. Enjoy! read more

This place was better on our previous visit. Not sure why, but that was November and it seemed less busy. This visit, the restaurant was crowded and the servers seemed stretched byond their limits. We felt rushed in ordering, and food was kind of thrown down on the table when delivered. Given the price point, service needs to be better. For food, we had the corn bread, which is good. Then for entrees, crab corn soup and a wedge salad--which were good; salmon and sweet potatoes--which was good , but the broccolini was over cooked and stringy; shrimp and grits--one of the best choices here; and yellow tail snapper garnished with seafood--also good, but the green beans were nearly raw and inedible. The martinis were great, and the duckhorn sauvignon blanc good, but highly priced. The ambience is upscale and usually pleasing but this time everything felt very rushed. Not relaxing. So should you go? Well maybe but there are a lot of other places that have better pace. read more

Nice traditional Floridian restaurant. Great for special occasions or a nice dinner out. Crispy fried oysters were delicious - we ordered a second serving! St Augustine stew was full of seafood and a rich buttery sauce. Recommend you try this when taking your parents for a nice dinner out. read more

We decided to splurge for our last dinner in Naples. This was a $200 meal for two that included drinks, cornbread, crab bisque, the seafood stew, and a surf & turf. We were stuffed, so no room for dessert! The portion sizes were very large; the stew came out in a huge bowl, we took half of it home. We were glad we made a reservation for the back patio with a view of the water, which was very nice. Service was also excellent! read more

The food was amazing and so was the service. I went on July 18th as a birthday dinner. Our waiter Stephanie was amazing and very attentive to our table. We had outdoor seating and it was beautiful! Having the outdoor fans was awesome because we didn't feel the summer heat. I had the Salmon with cauliflower risotto and spinach! It was cooked to perfection! Stephanie also made this adorable shell with a happy birthday message! I love it! read more

Another wonderful dining experience at The Bay House! The service was excellent. Ramona went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. The food was outstanding as always, the black cod was delicious, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was disappointed in a rather expensive restaurant. We chose the special menu that's offered in summer. Everything was fine with the first course and second course, which was an entrée. However, a problem arose. My partner is gluten-free and they would not substitute 2 scoops of sorbet for a minuscule Keylime pie cup. I found that insensitive, non-customer friendly and absolutely unbelievable. read more

Food was very good. The 3 course pre fix menu had lots of options and servings were generous. Our service was also very good with the manger going around table to table making sure everyone was doing well. We sat outside by the water and it gets extremely buggy once the sun sets. I would suggest they have more fans outside or those small fly fans on the tables to help. read more

Great restaurant!! Beautiful inside. We ate outside, non-water view, but were seated immediately, impressive for a Saturday in season. The Crispy Flash-Fried Cauliflower starter was amazing. The Nashville chicken was very good and the black cod was good, small serving. The service was amazing! read more

Had an amazing date night here! We sat on the patio in December and it was lovely. They had heaters going and I loved the fact that we were able to reserve a patio table. We started with a wedge salad, shrimp cocktail, and the fried oysters. The absolute star of the show was the fried oysters, truly amazing! For main courses, my husband had the st Augustine stew and I got steak frites. The stew had so much seafood in it and great flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly. read more

The Bay House was a last minute reservation at the start of the busy season in Naples. I had booked a different spot that a member of our party didn't want to eat at due to the outside seating facing a highway. I am generally more weighted towards food quality/uniqueness vs ambiance, but I was hosting this meal for others, so I was aiming to please. This restaurant was up my guest's alley, and since it was the day before, I could only get a 5:15PM in the Tavern room. I took it and off we went. The place was already buzzing when we arrived for dinner. We were seated and served our first course quickly. We tried the crispy cauliflower, wedge salad and Caesar salad, all perfectly good. For entrees we had the short ribs (a winner), the salmon (Scottish, not something this Seattleite would order, but to each their own), the St. Augustine stew (lots of fresh seafood chunks) and the Sea BLT ( seafood was the star, but not a preparation I care for). Everything was standard and solid, and as one of my guests said, "sometimes standard is good." Agreed! read more

Loved the ambience with the live music, dimmed lights, and fire pit. Fresh, quality ingredients. Servers are very kind and helpful.

We were visiting our best friends in Aug - a few weeks after my birthday. They took us out to this lovely restaurant set on the river. We dined outside on the deck late evening and it was delightful. The sun was setting which not only set the mood beautifully but kept the temps down and made for an incredible night. I had the black grouper with Meyer lemon risotto which was absolutely outstanding! Others at the table had surf and turf, the roasted black cod and the braised short ribs. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I'm a sucker for bread pudding - this one was just mediocre. It didn't help that I was already stuffed and hadn't realized they'd be bringing out a birthday surprise as well. All and all - the company, ambiance and food were all outstanding. As we were walking out - my friend took me in a tour through the restaurant and how beautiful! read more

Christmas Eve dinner started with the corn bread w/honey butter, then we had the lobster & crab potholes, oh my was that good!

Our waiter was courteous, professional and just the right amount of attentiveness. A warm comfortable atmosphere. read more

I visited this place for the first time yesterday, with my husband and another couple, and we all had a great time! Beautiful views, fine ambiance, good live music and excellent service by Simi, our waitress who suggested the cornbread to us, as a starter, and it was one of the best cornbread that I have ever tried in my life! We also ordered the scallops, cod fish, steak Oscar and snapper special for dinner. Chocolate/orange mousse for dessert and a few different drinks. Everything was delicious! read more

Loved it for happy hour drinks and apps! Lovely location on the river and there's really no bad seat whether on the deck looking over the river, in the dining room, in the claw bar where we were or in the beachy space by the parking lot. Excellent service ( just a smidge of up selling but I get it) and the seafood was great. We only had raw bar ( Claw Bar) items but honestly if those are great that tells you about the quality...right? Nice wine and beer selection. We really enjoyed it and will be back when in Naples but next time when music is playing. We were too early this time for the live music. read more

Appetizers were very good, especially the grilled octopus. Oysters were on the small side but entrees were quite good. However I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the scallops dish. Two big polenta cakes and Just four small scallops. One was half seared on one side and not even cooked on the other side. Given the high price I would not order this again. Service was attentive and timely. Ambiance was nice and they provided complimentary valet parking. read more

Horrible customer service... manager is rude and condescending. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

What a beautiful restaurant to spend my birthday at! Sher was amazing, as were everyone who contributed to the evening. Food tasted very nice and the flow of dinner was perfect. We have dined here numerous times, and it never disappoints! read more

We typically come here every time we're in Naples because the service is stellar, the ambience is relaxing, there's a lovely view of the water, and the seafood is the freshest. This trip we didn't go for our favorite (the outrageously huge Seafood Tower that one brother and I can demolish on our own) and stepped into some new experiences. There are three appetizers we had not tried: Tuna Poke, Seasonal Watermelon Poke, and Ceviche. We decided to split the sampler of all three, served in little ramekins with some crackers and tortilla strips. The tuna and the ceviche were excellent but the wildcard was the Watermelon Poke. Ruby red, marinated in citrus soy with ginger, its texture was meaty with a fresh burst of watermelon juiciness. I would eat a whole plate of that! For mains I decided on the grouper special, grilled and served on a bed of perfectly-cooked farro, topped with lump crab meat and accompanied by halved roasted Brussels sprouts. The chef is a genius with flavor profiles and this did not disappoint! Have your favorite cocktail or glass of wine, relax and enjoy the spectacular food! read more
