50 Best American Restaurants in Naples

“We ordered one of EVERY appetizers they offered and every single one of them was EXCELLENT! Could not more strongly recommend this restaurant. The food was outstandingly.“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere.“

“Let’s talk about J. Alexander’s, where I recently enjoyed the Cypress Salad and the Prime Rib … a combo that screams “I’m healthy… but not too healthy.”

The Cypress Salad was a pleasant surprise. The crispy chicken was actually crispy (a rare miracle in salad land), the avocado was ripe, and the ranch dressing hugged every bite like a Southern grandma. Crunchy pecans and smoky bacon turned what could’ve been a side dish into a star player. It’s comfort food disguised as a salad … and I’m not mad about it.

Then came the Prime Rib, a glorious slab of beef that reminded me why red meat still rules the table. Juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned …it melted under the knife like it had something to prove. The au jus was rich enough to be bottled and sold as cologne.

Service? Attentive. Atmosphere? Warm, modern, and classy without trying too hard.

Verdict: J. Alexander’s nails that sweet spot between upscale dining and down-home satisfaction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Would absolutely return (and probably order both again).“

“I don't understand why this restaurant wasn't packed! The food was fantastic, the service attentive, and the place was very nicely decorated. Even the bathrooms were very clean. The price is incredible too. Absolutely dirt cheap for very good real food. All farm to table and scratch made.

I'm just traveling through the area but I hope to come back here real soon.“

“What an excellent restaurant with awesome food complimented by knowledgeable service.“

“The Christmas pop-up is so festive! The food here is great. The staff is wonderful and the Christmas drinks are a blast.“

“A very worthy heir to the space previously occupied by K.C.'s American Bistro. Front of the house / back of the house . . . everything is spot on. Nothing "me too" or "been there; done that" about this restaurant. Your dining experience is unhurried and curated. Had the good fortune to attend a limited reservation 5-Course Wine Dinner at Amber Cove in partnership with a 300 year old family owned vintner from Tuscany. You can't find what my wife and I drank celebrating out 26th wedding anniversary at Total Wine. Ordered a case of wine after an absolutely fabulous meal. Looking forward to receiving that!!! Really can't endorse or recommend Amber Cove enough for a night out or a special occasion. Make a reservation and treat yourself to something special.“

“The food was SO good and very reasonable price wise. We had two amazing dinners, an appetizer, and 5 beers and it was $100 with tip! The service was great as well. Martin at the bar was awesome!“

“Súper place to have a delicious lunch!!“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Abigail, and she truly made my experience exceptional. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Throughout the meal, she was attentive, friendly, and caring, checking in on us at just the right moments. It’s rare to encounter such a personable and positive attitude, and Abigail’s service truly stood out. I left with a smile, thanks to her kindness and outstanding customer care. Highly recommend her service!“

“Excellent service, great food, nice and friendly staff. The restaurant is very clean . I recommend highly this place ❤️“

“Good food, drinks and service. The bartenders are always friendly here. It's basically a tiki bar by the side of a pool. I have been her a few times. It's a good place to relax and have a drink. It's not really a nightclub or a pickup scene. Just good drinks and good vibes here.“

“The Board Room is a must-visit! The pizza was absolutely delicious — perfectly crisp crust, rich sauce, and fresh toppings bursting with flavor. The service was outstanding, and the owner makes you feel like a valued guest. Great food, great wine, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Amazing food and great cocktails! We would recommend the Korean short rib tacos but they just removed them from the menu. Devastated as these were the best! Please bring them back!“

“Best breakfast ever! I hadn’t been there in over ten years was so delighted to go back, the food was even better than I remembered, service was very efficient and I was happy to see it was the same owner ❤️“

“me and my husband come to this bar every season we are in town, we love the ambiance and love the staff. cam is one of our favorite bartenders we try to come on the days he is working.

“We had a wonderful dinner at Bay Colony Beach Club. The restaurant offers amazing beach views and an absolutely delicious menu. Our table shared one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time, and their hummingbird cake is incredible.

Every single member of staff was amazing. They were all so kind for to our two-year-old daughter. We enjoyed seeing other families with children dining because it can be difficult to take kids to dinner. However, we had a great, relaxing evening as guests.“

“We found this restaurant on Google. It turns out the restaurant is attached to the Ritz-Carlton. We drove up to the valet in our old beater vehicle feeling a little out of place, but we were treated with the same respect and care as everyone else. We appreciate the great service we received. Our waiter, Baga, was very good! The food and drinks were delicious and the view was amazing!“

“We had a great experience at bella vista. José was our server and he made sure we enjoyed our time here. Food was good and the atmosphere is perfect to relax after a long day at the beach or golf course. We even had a cute bunny joining us.“

“Great short course track worth the late afternoon red hot rate - very good condition and strategically enjoyable.“

“I had what you call boneless chicken wings but all they were was chicken nuggets. They were good french fries were hot.It would be nice if the employees at this location could speak and understand English.“

“always a great lunch today the fryer oil was too old all burnt, just serve chips next time“

“Our lunch on March 14, 22 at Ridgway was excellent. We ordered a BLT - best one I have had and a very good stacked sliced roast beef sandwich. Waiter was new but did a great job.“

“Thank you for treating me like royalty tonight I appreciate it. I will always I will always be loyal to a restaurant who sees that all I’m trying to do is be myself and serve the community“

“Alice Sweetwaters has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Our family of 9 stopped in this evening for dinner before our sunset cruise AND our food was amazing, hot & fresh. The bar beverages were on point and our glasses were never empty. Thank you Hailey for the exceptional service. 10/10“

“Great food. PLEASE COME TO NEW JERSEY😋😋“

“Very best for special occasions.“

“The whole dining experience outside was so. good. Snaper, halibut and salmon cooked to perfection. Great service.“

“This isn't correctly located on the map so I can see how it may be misleading for access for some. Service times can run long at peak without a reservation in the restaurant area, but they also run all the poolside/chair service from the one kitchen, so A for effort there. Personnel are friendly, attentive, and good at remembering people around for a vacation or season. Menu items can frequently be out of stock“

“Actually renamed lobby Cafe. Modeled after terraza which is currently closed. Food is delicious, service great and good for people watching in lobby. Very pricey though, but it's the ritz so what do you expect? You also have great live music starting at 6 pm. Chris was the best on piano. Recommend it.“

“My wife & I had dinner at Lake Park Diner. The menu is interesting. I had a salad & the French dip. The size of the salad & sandwich was great! Unfortunately, the sandwich was not tasty. I also had a yummy chocolate shake. Service was excellent!!“

“Everything was delicious and reasonable priced. Server did a great job!“

“We had breakfast twice over the weekend ! Éder provided great service ! Food was delicious ! We for sure will come back and recommend for friends !“

“We had a superb dinner on a Monday night. Hostess Sylvia performed a magic trick and got us a four-top right near the front entrance. Server Danielle was prompt and friendly with a great smile. GM Leanna stopped by just to check-in. They have a new location opening nearby soon! Hey, lots of establishments serve great food. But it’s the ambiance and service that garner my attention and praise. OP, you hit a home run that night.“

“Excelente Seasons 52 platos exquisitos, ambiente agradable, limpio, muy profesional y atentos todos, gracias y bendiciones.“

“Food and service are great“

“Best place for a beach wedding and special events! Candace is amazing and made our wedding and our anniversary celebration at the hotel, a forever special spot. Thank you!“

“Brooks is fantastic. Everything we had was delicious, the service is excellent and fast, drink selection is great, and the kids will behave when they know they’re waiting for ice cream! And robots bring the food so they love that too! There’s a separate bar area for those without little ones. It’s an experience and we had a blast!“
