Overall a good experience. Food and service was very good. Bartender Shannon and waitress Faith very good. Only suggestion is for the wine brands served pricing was high. Suggest either better brands or lowering prices.

The word is out. On a Saturday night, Amber Cove was deservedly bustling. But even with every table full and turning over, the service was always attentive and uber-pleasant. Tim, the owner walks the floor. You can hear in this restaurant ... a Naples premium. And the food is wonderful. The ahi tataki, mushroom soup, pork tenderloin, swordfish, wagyu meatballs, key lime dessert, carrot cake. All excellent. Wishing much success.

Lovely evening with cocktails, apps, and dinners all of which were served perfectly. Glad to see the old KC transformation work so well. A little of the old , the delicious mushroom soup, with the new special, skirt steak. Loved it all!

New restaurant in location of former KC American Bistro near Vanderbilt Beach. Our experience was excellent from beginning to end. We were seated promptly and were very pleased at the quiet acoustics as well as the attractive interior ambiance. Wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive, and owner visited our table and welcomed us (nice touch!) Our party settled on the beet salad, Caesar salad and swordfish and sea bass entrees. Every dish met expectations and the hands down winner of the night was the sea bass. Carrot cake finished off our meal with the most delicious flavor. Can't wait to return to sample other menu items. While higher priced than average, the service, quality and overall experience exceeded our expectations.

We had a great experience, lots of interesting conversations with the owner and his staff. As visitors to Naples we felt very welcome. The food was outstanding, we will definitely be back! Ps the wine was great too !

We were greeted by the owner when we arrived at the restaurant. He was friendly and we chatted with him about the opening of the restaurant and the uniqueness of the cuisine. Our server Dave was excellent and the food was really special. Well prepared and presented. We did find prices to be a bit high and on a Friday evening the restaurant wasn't very busy. That may be a reflection of the pricing. I hope they make it. I will definitely be back. PS the swordfish was amazing.

Wonder dinner. Food was fantastic and the service was great. A little pricey but all in all it was a great experience. We celebrated my birthday there and the chief made an appearance at the table to present dessert. Very nice touch!

This was our first experience at Amber Cove restaurant. It was fabulous! We were greeted by Seth, who was our server as well. He was terrific very helpful in explaining some of the dishes, had a great sense of humor, and I would say one of the best servers we’ve ever had. My husband got the halibut special and I got the short rib. Everything about the meal was wonderful.

Family of 6, Christmas Eve. Atmosphere perfect, waiter great. The Caesar salad was good. It was downhill from there. The butter tasted like it had sugar and garlic in it. Every meal had sauces and flavours that were sweet, every single one we all agreed. My husbands fish, sea bass, tasted fishy and was not cooked through. It has mushy parts. We didn’t complain, Christmas Eve with a limited menu. We paid and left, won’t return. Just be ready for what you think is a gravy to be very sweet.

Please note that many older reviews reflect the previous restaurant, not the current one.
Our meal here was a wonderful surprise. The food was exceptional from start to finish, and the service matched it. We chose to sit outside and, while pleasant, there was more traffic noise than expected for a small strip mall setting.
The amuse-bouche was a crab cake bite that was absolutely superb. The beet salad that followed was as flavorful as it was beautiful, with incredibly fresh herbs that made a noticeable difference.
For our main course, we had the Sole en Croûte, which was fantastic. The accompanying sauce and the white asparagus were both outstanding. Dessert was the Key Lime Statue, an excellent finish that delivered bright flavor without being overly sweet.
I would rate the food here among the very best in Naples. Our dinner could stand alongside top meals from notable establishments like Sails, Del Mar, and Mediterrano.
Highly recommended!
