Place is tucked away , parking is limited you can't parked at the motel without being towed or fined they prefer you use valet Sat pretty quickly , scenery next to the window thanks hostess but place was empty and she still sat us right next to a table of 5 didn't dig that people Prices were surprising average considering seafood cost Waiter wasn't the warmest but maybe he going through things or maybe that's his demeanor but he was cool AF and knew the menu well Scenery was nice next to the window as requested and granted Place is clean Wife had the the sea food bake and mentioned the shrimp were over cooked , the mussels were good , the Brussel sprouts were good, cauliflower was good , corn cool, potatoes good I had the prime rib and it was tasteful and a nice piece , side salad was amazing Crab legs boiling all day taste Don't know how long this has been around but maybe Bar Rescue should come by Moist Hand wipes dry from sitting around Even after all these issues waiter gave us the discount along with a dessert for her unhappiness Place does have potential really but... All in all 3 Stars for the effort thanks for the hit and miss read more

We decided to try this place for dinner on Tuesday night. We had great seats outside overlooking the water. We could watch the fish swim around below us once it got dark. Our service was excellent. We just went for several appetizers and a couple drinks. We started with the Nachman's Native Fish Dip, then ordered the Chilled Jumbo Shrimp. The shrimp were huge and the cocktail sauce has just enough burn from the horseradish. We also had Neptune's Extraordinary Conch Fritters. They were my favorite. Beautiful views and watching the boats come in, was a plus. read more

Just had another awesome meal at the Boathouse. Weather it's Lunch or dinner or hors d'oeuvres at the bar during happy hour This place never disappoints. Today there were 5 of us for lunch. Lissette was our server and she was great. Really took her time with us. She made suggestions and was very attentive. A real asset to the experience. We had the perfect window table overlooking the bay. Portions are not skimpy. I had the pastrami open faced sandwich (delicious) Everyone else had the crab cakes and all said they were excellent as well. This is a great restaurant to take your out of town company to. Really Shows what Naples has to offer. read more

My husband and I went to enjoy and relax, which we did. I had the Lobster, Scallop and Gulf Shrimp Sauté and my husband has the Center Cut Ribeye. They were definitely delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. My drink Shipwrecked was delicious as well. My dish was so great and I'm one who usually never finishes my meal and usually take leftovers home, but I took nothing home, I couldn't finish all the pasta but left very little on the plate. The service was wonderful, we started with the Clams Casino which was just perfect, even the bread was great, Our waiter was very attentive to our needs. The ambiance is superb as well we were sitting at a window overlooking the Bay and watching boats coming and going. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and will assuredly come here again, even though it's a trip from Babcock Ranch. My husband also had the French Onion Soup and it was delicious, the broth was perfect!!!!!! If you haven't tried this place yet, please do, read more

Service was great! Food was not great. Ambiance is a little sleepy - but when you pull up somewhere like this you know where you're getting. I haven't written a poor review in a very long time, today I had a really bad experience with the food at this restaurant. While I'm not a local to Naples, my family has been here for years and I was looking for a good meal at Boathouse (which I've had before). There are 2 few reasons for my poor review 1) Portion for a new subset of the menu was very small. Not disclosed. It was cheaper and I should have noticed however when I ordered the Fish and Chips (pictured) 2) As small as the portion was, one of the pieces of fish was completely spoiled (pictured) read more

First time eating at this restaurant and it is the best seafood dinner I have had in years! Gina our server made amazing recommendations and was very attentive and funny!!Must try their Clams casino and the stuffed shrimp as well as the broiled scallops, cod and shrimp! The views are spectacular and restaurant is clean and has a great happy hour! read more

When i first visited this place to check it out, it had a fish market stench to it like where they toss the fish into newspapers! But when our party came on another day that aroma was eradicated. I chose this place because it's on the water and i would like the view of the water through the window which we were fortunate enough to get that seat of the high table. Ominous clouds over us and even saw a dolphin or two provided a picturesque setting. I got a fried grouper according to market size and it was minute proportion but fine with fries on the side with lemonade for drink. Bread with butter was good to start. Other members of the party i was with got lobster bisque which was creamy with the bread and the prosecco was better at the table than at the bar and third member got escargot appetizers with a martini. The mirror in the place makes it seem like it is a larger space. Thank you for having us! :) read more

Salad came presentable and looks delicious. I ordered the clambake I think they cooked it all day everything was so dry the crab legs the clams mussels the and the shrimp I can't even fight with it anymore the only thing you really edible was the corn on the cob and the potatoes. This place really does have potential. The waiter seemed to really cool. He asked me how things were I told him it was really dry. I'm not one to like to waste food so I told him no worries but the more that I ate it the more I realize how really overcooked everything was nobody wants Seafood that is dry with no flavor. The waiter went back and told the cook that my food was overcooked then the waiter came back over to our table to my surprise he said that the cook flipped him off and gave him the finger instead of taking constructive criticism. I'm still appalled. I don't know if I'm grateful or upset that the waiter even told me this if this was my restaurant that Chef would be fired immediately! We didn't log into Yelp immediately I waited till we sat down at the restaurant and noticed it had a three star at first I was surprised like oh no then after seeing the salad I was like this place has potential but after my plate I was very disappointed. Told the waiter he said I will try to get you a discount not promising anything honestly didn't want to Discount. My husband got the prime rib he said it was okay he got two sides cauliflower and Brussels sprouts those are both my favorites so I took a bite immediately of both of his sides they were both cold. So now we just got our bill he said he got us 25% off the bill and then brought me a piece of cake and said that he told them it was my birthday and brought me a piece of cake sorry to say but I am not going to eat this cake I'm afraid of what they might have done to it or put in it after the attitude with the finger I'm good. read more

The Boathouse On Naples Bay - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

A very good place overall. I would go to this place even if it was in New York. Maybe less stars in NYC, but I would still go. Great food. Good staff. High quality food. I ate even the house salad, which I typically regard as a nuisance. Freshly cut, juicy vegetables that actually had taste, sweet onion. When did I ever eat a salad? When did I ever write about a side salad in a review?! Chily was great. Gumbo was ok. Paella tasted awesome, and had a nice presentation. Lite Boiled Platter was uninspiring, but the Seafood Melt was a good smaller hot sandwich. Maybe I'll try steak next time. Maybe a recommended appetizer? The beer selection was sad, so I focused on eating rather than drinking. I hope that's not why I liked the food. We did order one mango cocktail, which seemed to have real fruit in it, and it was nice. Giving this place full credit this time, but please fix the beer selection. There is a brewery close by with solid beer choices but bad food. Do I need to set a date between you two? read more

This is a no frills fish house with an extensive menu and a beautiful view of Naples Bay. The food was outrageously good. Huge portions! I had the blackened grouper, a huge piece of fish with a baked potato. My party of 6 all had wonderful meals and we are definitely coming back. It's no frills because the atmosphere is old school fish house, not fancy at all. The service was impeccable, our waiter was very attentive. The only thing that kept this review from 5 star was that their plates and bowls need to be replaced. Many of the old school ceramic plates came with chips in them. The stack of bread plates placed on our table were in bad shape, part of the charm, but not. read more

Great food. Great view. Great service. This place was great! Relaxing! We will go back. Our servers (we went for dinner and brunch the next day) were friendly and helpful. The bread they bring to the table was delicious. Go for brunch! Get the banana bread French toast!!! read more

Been trying to get here and finally made it...ordered 2 cucumber martinis that were sent back as they were so unbalanced it was badddd..settled for 2 Kendall Jackson charts @$18 a glass...a bottle is $42.... After that..the conch fritters were soggy and greasy..the sauses were better than the fritters.. Cesar salad was good..and thankfully the black cod and triggerfish were amazing..so it was an ok experience as far as food...the bartender was also waiting and bussing tables.....guess that is poor scheduling by the manager...every server was overwhelmed.... read more

Stopped in here for lunch this week, it had been about 15 years since I'd been here. This is an old school spot with a great view. The food is really well priced (cocktails are a little high) and it's tasty. I had the seafood melt and it was really good, along with the salad I picked for my side. They also brought out delicious rolls for the table. Our server was great as well. Minus one star because the bathrooms are tiny and the ladies room smelled really bad. I hope to not wait so long for another visit. read more

I decided to stop in after many recommendations about the view, service, and food. I'm so happy I did! I was greeted immediately by a hostess who after checking server load/availability sat me at a small table (it was only me) with a MAGNIFICENT view of the Bay I was fortunate to be assigned a waitress (Catrina) who did nothing but impress! Make fun of me, but she actually brought LIFE to the ambiance. She wore the pink uniform shirt advertising the restaurant while all other servers I observed wore black.... nice touch I ordered several things, so here's MY take... A cup of the NE Clam chowder came out piping hot and had a great taste with a nice amount of class. 4 out 5 stars $8.25 A cup of Lobster Bisque came out piping hot. Great taste, but not enough Lobster for my taste. 4 out of 5 stars $8.75 Broiled Bacon wrapped Sea Scallops for $16.25 was a let down as the bacon was to raw and the Scallops overcooked. 3 out of 5 stars For entree, I ordered the wild Salmon blackened ($19.00) with a baked potato ($3.00). Salmon great and seasoning not overpowering. The baked potato in my opinion was probably over cooked as it was dark on color and rather dry. I attempted to rescue the discord flavor with the lemon carpet sauce which accompanied my Salmon, but to no avail. Highpoints on this visit were DEFINITELY customer relations, ESPECIALLY Catrina who was always there when I needed her, yet never intrusive. I'll definitely request her on my next visit! read more

Here last night with Reggie & Elias. First let me say MARK N. was our server and he was the best! Helpful with menu choices, very professional and personable and a great sense of humor. Thanks again Mark. Appreciate it. Also the best was our table overlooking Naples Bay. We were as close as you can get, although every table has a view. The stuffed shrimp was always a big hit for Dottie. I had the Seafood Norfolk and it was very good, but saw pix of my visit three years ago. I should have ordered the seafood paella! The Rhode Island clams casino appetizer was very good. As was the virgin Pina Colada. Desserts were the Key Lime Pie as was suggested. Very good! Enjoy your visit here who's ever reading this. Get that table near the glass. read more

Our server Elizabeth and the food great. The location of our table sucked. It was right next to the pier walkway where everyone was coming and going off the boats. Not sure why the hostess sat us at this table when other tables were open on the patio. Note to her she did ask us if it was ok, but at that time we didn't know how many were coming and going off the pier. This was on a Saturday around 3:30 in January. Again staff and food was great. read more

We have had good experiences at the Boat house but tonight was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. In spite of having a reservation we had to wait 45 minutes for our table. The food was not good with the tiniest lobster tail sitting alone on a plate and our guests had overly breaded shrimp with a golf ball sized baked potato! We were there to celebrate 2 birthdays and the served cake was inedible...all this took over 2.5 hours! When I asked to speak to the manager, he wasn't there. The server did her best but this restaurant was overwhelmed and overbooked. Maybe not the best time for management to be away...They did comp just our entrees but it did not make up for ruining our birthday celebration dinner. read more

Beautiful location on the water. Extensive menus from sandwiches, to Steaks and great variety of seafood. Started with NE clam chowder, very thick, tons of clams, thumbs up, except they were served with a small bag of saltines! Would have expected oyster soup crackers if you were really sweating the details. Kind of set the tone for the night. Everything was good, just not great. Even the service, while prompt it, was indifferent. The waiter never really connected with our group, he just took the order and checked if all was good. Again, nothing wrong with any of this, just ok, is the best way to describe it. Prices are on the high side for a casual place. No sides included with entrees, all available at an extra cost. read more

Pros: -The happy hour prices on drinks, especially rail cocktails, is great! -The servers are friendly, and when there was a mistake on the bill, they quickly corrected it. -They will keep bring free bread if you want it! And the butter is warm and very easy to spread. -RIGHT on the water, so if you have a boat, that's even better! -If you split an entree, they will split it for you so you don't have to do it at the table. Cons: -The rail cocktails are NOT good. I guess you get what you pay for. The house wine isn't much better. -The service is slow, even when it's not very busy. It's almost like the servers refuse to make eye contact with you! -If you get the calamari/gator appetizer, you get WAY more gator than calamari. read more

It's was really a great experience and a super friendly waiter. I went with my father and we both had different scallop dishes. So random but the spicy margarita was amazing and extra spicy which is my favorite. It seemed to be a family friendly restaurant with TVs on the walls but still a nice ambiance. It was definitely very loud. Really just an overall 10/10 for what it is. read more

Our food and service were very good. It was busy,but everything came out warm and in good time.

Great spot for food and drinks. The service is top notch and the view is spectacular. We ordered the yellow fin tuna, the sea scallops and of course, the New England clams and I got the lobster bisque. Everything was fresh and delicious, can't say enough good things about the apps especially the bisque. For entrees, we got the seabass and the gulf shrimp. The shrimp was large and juicy and the seabass was prepared perfectly. Had a wonderful time and will certainly be back! read more

We went for Saturday night dinner. Service was bad. Staff was often too busy chatting to treat customers as valued guests. Waitress gave us 2nd class service as soon as she learned we just wanted to start with drinks and appetizers. Food was okay, but not great. All plates (with typically high prices) are ala cart. You have to pay extra for any/all sides. $15.75 for a sad little burger all by itself. Felt like we were paying high prices for Denny's food (w/o the fries) and service. read more

the ambiance was very nice, we didn't need to wait to be seated. i started with the clam chowder which was good, but my spoon was dirty, and had dried crust on it. it took the waitress about 10 minutes to make her way back to me before i was able to ask for a new spoon. I then ate the platter that contained boiled cod, shrimp and scallops. the scallops were rubbery, the shrimp was incredibly tough. tough to where i initially thought the shell was still on, but it wasn't. and the cod was bland. it was all soaking in butter and the presentation didn't seem very appetizing. unfortunately, my girlfriend and i were very disappointed with our experience read more

I have been there twice and same experience mediocre food and service. Both times sat outside around the corner so maybe why the poor service. This last time last time I was there for brunch. Hmmmm potatoes come in a little ramakin dish so potatoes were mushy and had celery in them. Big miss because don't we want crunchy potatoes for breakfast and who sautes celery in breakfast potatoes? The pancakes were pretty good however supposed to come with rum butter which it didn't and when my server did bring it was straight from the refrigerator and by now my pancakes are cold. So no nice hot pancakes with rum butter. read more

I'm visiting from out of town, and was looking forward to eating here. When my friend and I arrived, there were several people waiting to be seated. My friend is an older woman and tried giving our names, and the young girl was very rude. People that came in after us were seated, and my friend said something and they never had our name. We decided to sit at the bar, especially for quicker service. The woman bartender wouldn't even look in our direction. When she finally came over, she helped the people next to us, that just came in. My friend sighed, and the bartender snapped at her saying she had no clue who was waiting longer. We ordered two drinks, and wanted to order food. It took her 35 minutes to take our order, and our order didn't come out for 45 minutes. We had plans after 5 pm, and got there after 3ish and thought we'd have time. We asked for the check, and it took two other ladies waving the two female bartender's down to take the credit card. I know they were busy, but so beyond rude and dismissive. They never asked if we needed anything else, or even seemed to care. They went out of their way to be extremely rude, and unapproachable. They made sure to never look in our direction, not good to have such unfriendly bartenders. I'd think twice before ever coming back again. read more

First things first - valet parking. Be ready for it, and keep a tip for the valet handy. We had a 4:30 reservation, and arrived at 4:20. Then due to the valet line, had a 5 minute wait, but we got in to the place in time to claim our reservation. We noted we had asked for an outside table, so the person outside took us inside, then back outside to our table. We asked for a table on the water, but the server for that area had not arrived yet, so we got one next to the hedge, then got moved to the water side when the server arrived. The server was very attentive - they had special drinks for happy hour up until 5:30, so I had an Old Fashioned, while two of our party had Cosmos and another had a glass of wine. Water was also brought to the table initially and kept full. Also, 8 pieces of hot We had their Seared Ahi Tuna appetizer, and then a Caesar Salad and a baked potato. For a seafood place, I was expecting to see anchovies on the Caesar, but nope, no anchovies. The Seared Ahi Platter had three dips - one was a weak wasabi, a second was sweet and sour, and the third was soy sauce. The tuna was dipped in sesame seeds, and tasted good. For the main course, I selected their salmon special, broiled in lemon sauce, with the caper sauce. What I got was all of that, but with a different sauce. No biggie. The salmon was tasty. The baked potato didn't come with any butter, so we used some of what was left from the bread thankfully. Two of our party split a Grouper dinner (which resulted in a $10 second plate charge) and there was enough to fill both of them up. They also split the sides. My wife had the Lite Stuffed Flounder, and she thought it was good. Service was good. They were turning on the heaters - I'm glad I had a light jacket with as the night progressed, it got cooler out there rapidly. The restaurant theme was definitely nautical in nature. Boats can be seen from the outside of the restaurant, and if you like airplanes and the wind is right, the approach for the nearby airport just about goes right over the restaurant. read more

Cool little hang out and although we had a 6:30 reservation we had to wait until almost 7 to get sat but we're all bar people so that wasn't a problem with us. Not a fan of their prosecco and a Manhattan or Old-Fashioned should always be served with a Luxardo, ditch the maraschino's. Hard to best the ceviche in Belize but this shrimp ceviche lacked in presentation and had more tomatoes than shrimp and fish. It needs to be chopped more. Broiled seafood platter was good but the lobster had no flavor or seasoning, very bland. I know it's hard to knock it out of the park each time but just wanted to give a heads up. Grouper fish was fantastic! So was the Chesepeake Bay Steak. Gator bites were on point but have spicy marinara next time. We can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Service was very slow. Food was not as described. Seafood ceviche consisted of a bowl full of salsa with canned crab and 3 cooked shrimp on top. Served with crushed tortilla chips.

We made reservations four days prior for 3 people at 6p. When we arrived at 5:45p, we informed by the young lady at the podium that we had reservations for 6p. She then proceeded to tell us that the wait would be 30 to 45 minutes long. She then rudely tells us that the people with no reservations had to wait an hour to an hour and a half. Was that supposed to make us feel better? We have dined at the restaurant many times and always had great experience. read more
