    Food was amazing. So fresh and flavorful. The restaurant itself is so cozy and the decor is warm and inviting. Service was great! Overall, I will definitely be back, and maybe just to order multiple pistachio pesto bruschetta... could not get enough of that!

    Mushroom Lovers Pizza Vegan

    Vegan friendly Loved Lentil soup with fresh lemon. Mushroom lovers pizza vegan had a lot of toppings. Loved this hot sauce (house made). Although, Tiramisu was so small for $9. They don't charge anything extra to make it Vegan

    AMAZING! Delicious food! I immediately fell in love with this place when I saw the menu. The drink menu had plenty wine glads options as well as the choice to but a whole bottle. The pig and fig brushetta was full pf so much flavor it had a local hot honey as well as creamy goat cheese which was not overpowering it all complimented each-other v well. The hamburger and sweet potato wedges were amazing as well. The hamburger came with many yummy toppings. Great service as well! The area inside is a perfect environment for a date night.

    Cowboy Rubbed Beef Brisket - oustanding!
    Ray V.

    It has been a while since our last visit, but so pleased we came again for the "sunset menu". While the obviously new hostess was a bit more than oblivious, our bartender Sam was terrific giving us a great overview of the current craft beer offerings and menu overview when asked. The restaurant filled up quickly for a Monday night by 6:30. The ambiance in this strip mall location restaurant is very good and the outdoor dining area is not overwhelmed by road noise as a result of the setback from the road and associated foliage. On the dining side, and here is where the Chef Owner factor shines through even more, ingredient selection and their combinations, preparations and finally, presentations are truly beyond outstanding. I had the cowboy rubbed brisket which has a touch of heat in smoked coffee and sugar rub and an overall extraordinary flavor and my wife had the grilled pork loin. She raved about the flavor of the marinated pork in a combination which includes figs, gorgonzola, and roasted fennel over perfectly prepared polenta.

    Do they have a lot of TVs to watch sports?

    No.. single TV over the bar.

    Do they offer outdoor seating?

    Yes they do. The restaurant is in a strip mall and so the tables are on the walkway by the front door. However, there is very little foot traffic.

We decided to go with the shrimp cocktail and mahi tacos on corn tortillas. There are also plenty of gluten free options which is nice. Lots of restaurants only have flour tortillas so it was nice having options. We split both items as we were looking for a little afternoon snack. I also had an Arnold Palmer surfside. My new fav vacay alcoholic beverage. This place is lively and lots of TVs to keep up with your fav sport team. It's also a Seminole bar (go gators). I won't hold it against them. Lol.

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.

This had lots of tomatoes, red onion and carrots. The lettuce was very fresh and the dressing was delicious as always. My Chicken Bryan was so tasty. It has the perfect blend of flavors including lemon, goat cheese, sun dried tomato and basil. I have tried to replicate this dish at home and it turned out pretty good. But nothing beats theirs. My penne with pink sauce was served hot and tasty. I decided to take advantage of the $10 take home special. You can actually choose any entree that is the price of your entree or less. So that is a great way to try other dishes. I only eat Chicken Bryan here although I could be missing out on other tasty entrees. Italian side salad was only $2. Both were still very good the next day. I need to buy the $10 take home entree more often.

We had some bread with that amazing combination of herbs and olive oil, while looking at the menu. There are lots of options here, including pasta dishes, chicken Marsala, Tuscan grilled sirloin, Salmon Capperi, appetizers and their Tiramisu deserves a mention. Cocktails and Sangria pitchers are available if you're not driving. The Mezzaluna that hubs ordered disappeared fast. I decided on the eggplant Parmesan and it was served with a side of linguine. You get a choice of soup or salad to start, everything was fresh and good. The best part of our lunch was when we decided to take advantage of their offer to choose an entree for ten dollars to take home. We got two more meals to go, and it's always nice to get a break from cooking dinner. Two entrees of this quality for twenty dollars was a great deal for takeout. I hope they keep that special, we're coming back soon.

We ate in the main dining room and Brandon was our server. He is just so good at his job. He came around just when we needed something. He has the sort of aura or vibes or whatever you want to call it, that really made for an exceptional experience. He truly wanted us to enjoy our meals. The hostess said she was seating us with someone good and I could not agree more!! So, I was going to order a little differently going in to Shula's. But then I saw their promotion and I was already ordering filet mignon. Why not get all this other stuff with it? The bread was good. The filet mignon, of course, was the star of the show. This is truly the best filet mignon I have ever had. I remember going to Shula's when they were in Miami Lakes and loved it too. Mashed potatoes are okay. I probably should have upgraded to the au gratin potatoes. The French onion was good but not the best. The raspberry cheesecake was pretty good. We went back the next day for lunch and had a different server. She had a different kind of personality I did not appreciate. Beyond that, the burgers were okay. I was going to order a steak salad but figured a burger and fry would be better. Some fries were undercooked but I was getting full anyway. Their burgers are huge!! I appreciate how the manager remembered us from the night before and even said hello to me when I was sitting in the lobby of the hotel where I was staying. He is really nice. I highly suggest the filet mignon. If you like this cut of meat, it is phenomenal.

    We ordered 3 food items for their happy hour- calamari, bacon, and hamburger sliders (as such, this…read morereview relates to their happy hour only; we have not tried their regular menu). The calamari was ok. The flavor of the sliders and the bacon dish were very good. However, the portion sizes of all three dishes were disappointingly small (about 1/2 the size that we would expect from a usual happy hour dish). Service was great; ambiance was great. Well trained employees. We did not try the drinks, but the drink prices seemed reasonable.
