Love the Real Macaw. Party of 6 and everyone loved their meal and everyone ordered something different. Nice wine list and prices were what you would expect but certainly not overpriced. Such a lively atmosphere with a key west vibe. We love sitting outside, but sitting inside is always a treat too. Our waitress got the job done but honestly seemed like she'd rather be somewhere else. Live music was exceptional. Great blue grass live music and we could actually have a conversation over dinner without screaming over the music. I recommend highly!

Had Easter Brunch here and it was amazingWhat a beautiful setting and great food. Alot of naples seems really high end and to find a keys like atmosphere with the beat crab cake Benedict, with live music made this day just perfect. I would love to dine here any day! The pain killer is top notch and the icing on the cake!

If you have never had The Real Macaw experience you must! This restaurant is like no other in Naples. The food is unreal. The ambience is fantastic. Live music!! Also, they are dog friendly on the outside. One of the best for sure.

This is a great laid back neighborhood restaurant with live music most nights. The music is loud if you are outside, so talking becomes difficult, but it is the right vibe for this Key West kind of place. The food is good and the people are friendly. They have a different Bar menu and an early Happy Hour, and I would come back again to try that.

Overall an enjoyable island inspired experience. Food was very good, but not 5 star amazing, that's the only reason I'm not saying 5 stars. Very attentive waiter. We will definitely return!

But.. no bread & don't ask for it... well, I really didn't & don't need it but..???... even for a charge??.. no!??.. ok... I bit unusual but I can be ok with that.. then, The Salmon, Chicken & a Burger, we all loved everything! Will definitely go back!

This was my 2nd visit there. This time We went after a stroll through the Botanical Gardens, a 5 minute drive away.RM has a real tropical island vibe to it. We ate outside at the bar. There's also a "white tablecloth " restaurant there. There seems to be live music every evening. Nothing too loud or obtrusive from the singer.Our server was attentive. At some point during the evening a young lady stopped by to ask if we needed anything. She turned out to be the owner. We didn't need a thing but had a nice conversation with her. She circumvented the restaurant a couple of times that evening.I had an Ahi Tuna Blackened sandwich that was excellent. My companions all loved there dinners. My wife saw a burger go by for another table and thought she'd get that next time. It did look delicious. The menu is extensive. It ranges from a burger to gourmet dining.We really liked RM, a lot.There's a tiny parking lot next to the building that fills up quickly. We parked at the adjacent public lot next door, a 20 second walk.Parking: limited parking next to the building but plenty of parking at the adjacent public parking lot next door

Just a great place, food, atmosphere and service - try to ask for Linda. Siobhan is on top of everything and we could not recommend this place strongly enough Scott Krantz

We celebrated our anniversary at this charming restaurant , which has an elegant Carribean vibe. We were warmly greeted by the hostice and seated in a quiet section of the inside dining room. Our waiter, Andre was quick to take our drink orders and tell us about the nights specials. We were given time to relax and enjoy our drinks prior to placing our dinner orders. For starters, we had the onion soup and crab cake, which were fantastic. Our dinner selections were Ahi tuna and Chrispy duck. The food was delicious and plentiful. For desert we shared the house specialty bread pudding. The atmosphere and service could not have been any better. This was our sixth visit to the Real McCaw and it is always a treat. If you are looking for a unique dining experience away from the crowds on 5th avenue, this restaurant will not disappoint.
We had out of town guests so I asked for a quiet table in the side patio instead of the one that they had set aside for us near the band. They accommodated us even though they were very busy. The food is always excellent and our server was very attentive. A great evening.

The Real Macaw has been a long time favorite Great venue and good food The grouper seafood special was served luke warm and was priced at $45 each Our server was great but stretched thin I will buy another $100 gift certificate for $75 in December and return next season The prices now deserve $$$

We have been dining at this restaurant for many years. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced, the service personnel attentive and helpful, and the setting funky in a good way. Highly recommend!

Steer clear of this one. I have lived in Naples for almost 5 years now and this place was awful!The owner seemed very nice, although the staff was unwelcoming and the service was sub-par. We sat inside the back portion of the dining room and the decor looked tired, something like a Pier One rummage sale. There were four of us and all of our meals were on par with an over cooked frozen dinner, that sat on the counter for too long. The Seabass was fishy, the rice was hard and undercooked, the shrimp scampi was not fresh, and the scallops were canned or frozen, and then thrown in there. The calamari was extremely small along with the scallops. No quality or fresh ingredients at all. Zero stars, won’t be coming back.
