We stayed in the hotel and we love the idea of not going outside to eat, the hotel offer a variety of options, this restaurant is the top one. Of course they offer a sort of unique dishes, however the food is not worthy as others JW, it is overpriced. Lobster was OK and I think the sea bass was a better option, but again, was not amazing. spent around $120 per person, so for the next time we will probably go outside and try a different restaurant. Our server was super friendly!

Susan our waitress was a doll! she was spot on. The food was excellent with a fantastic presentation. The outside seating was very quaint, romantic and perfect for conversation. I thought it was a dynamite experience as did our out of town friends.

Wow - best hotel dining experience! Asked if we wanted to be in or outside, in the action or in a quiet spot! We had a lovely dinner - whole branzino was amazing and the lamb chops were some of the best I've very had!

Saying was right on time. Our service (Mido) was excellent, food cooked and taste perfect. Enjoyed the yummy recommended dessert. Wine expert advised us , and we did enjoy his recommendation.

Joe was an excellent waiter along with his help staff. The only concern I had was that we arrived at 6:15pm and our table was ready, however we were not seated until 6:30pm. 6:30pm was our reservation time however the table was empty and ready??

Had a great birthday dinner here last night . Food was amazing !! I'm not one to write reviews but this review is well deserved for such great restaurant. Hostess/ Host are very nice & our server Joe was amazing! He made my birthday dinner fantastic. Definitely recommend for any occasion (:

Our server was great and the food excellent but when you are paying for an expensive meal you don't expect it to be done in under an hour! There were empty tables so not sure why meal was so rushed. Meal should have been paced not rushed

Our waiter Nezo was excellent! The steak preparation he suggested was perfect for my guests as was the branzino fish for wife. Our wine was very good as well. The downer was the “strictly enforced dress code”. A guy sitting across from us wore gym shorts, white T & running shoes while I and the other gentleman at my table had sport coats. When I brought it to the attention of our host, he offered no explanation. I would suggest you take that moniker off and just put “come as you are.”

Service was excellent, our waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was subpar, especially for the price. Had salads, steaks, mashed potatoes. All of it was bland. Quite a few small children in there for a Saturday night, which made noise level go up of course. The ‘strictly enforced' dress code didn't seem to be in place (which is fine with me but I think that should be taken off the website to make it clear that shorts/tshirts are allowed). Our cocktails were very good though, so maybe consider as a happy hour spot.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was exquisite. Some of the people in our party ordered smoked drinks which was great theater and the drinks were fabulous. We sampled a variety of fish dishes and steaks and alll were very high quality. The desserts were very delicious as well. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. What I appreciated most, though, is that I had requested a quiet table because there was someone in our group with a hearing challenge and the place they sat us was perfect. The person was able to hear and participate fully in the conversation. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Treat yourself to a dinner here.

Great service. Maitre'd was very nice and provided excellent service. My NY Strip steak was excellent. My wife's filet was not cooked as ordered. Prices are very expensive.

The best restaurant on Marco Island. Every detail is paid attention to, but in a quiet and elegant way. We were there on Valentine's Day, traditionally a day that can make even a fine restaurant feel chaotic. Not so here, every thing was handled with grace and the food was as spectacular as always.

It was Valentine's Day which can be such a let down because restaurants are so busy. We were on vacation with friends and needed to eat out. We were so glad we did! The service was impeccable! The food was amazing! My husband and I split the restaurant ribeye. They offered to cut it in the kitchen which we appreciated. It was Delicious!! We all 4 shared Mac n cheese and carrots. The sides were wonderful! We look forward to warning over spring break!
