Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Naples

The food was prepared just right. The lobster salad is a definite must. Large pieces of lobster with watermelon, arugula and orange slices. The veal was a specialty and prepared to order and properly seasoned. The scallops were also a must. Seasoned just right in an incredible combination of balsamic and other great tasting sauces. All served with attention to detail by our server, Dante!! Nice atmosphere and ambience. A night to remember!! Thank you!

We were sat in a harshly high-lit smallish room that felt like a noisy event space or cafeteria. It was busy at 5:45! So I guess we were relegated to the less pleasant ambiance of the main dining area which is low lit and cozy. Food and service were both good however. So it’s the luck of the draw but would be so much better if they did more table lighting and turned down the overheads in that seating space.

Enjoyed our visit to the Claw Bar. We reserved a seat at the counter. Noise level was high as a result of cold weather and the restaurant accommodating outside reservations inside. However, it did not spoil our evening. Service was excellent and waiter was cordial and professional. Most importantly, we did not feel rushed and were permitted to order different courses as we progressed. Food options and raw bar selections were explained clearly so as to understand the amounts of food received especially for the stone crabs, crab legs, etc. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers which were plentiful and delicious and split an entree which was split for us. The cornbread is to die for. Very pleasant evening. Don't miss an evening there.

The service, wait time and food was superb. Noticed ansy customers that came in and expecting to be waited upon and served in a couple minutes. This is a very unreasonable expectation. We arrived at 4:10, had reservations for 4:15, was seated at that time. Heike (fabulous waitress, the best in our book) proceeded to greet us, take any drink orders from 4 of us, almost immediately. Put the order in, told us of the specials….we gave her our requests. Between drinks, appetizer, main course and dessert/coffee and enjoying company and celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary……we were in and out by 6pm, no rushing………..::quality service!! This is our go to establishment…..and whenever possible we request Heike. We give Verginas a 5star.

This was out first time dining at DelMar and we really enjoyed it. We started at the bar to enjoy the tail end of happy hour and enjoyed a cocktail and some delicious olive flatbread. Drinks were tasty however I'd suggest to not serve that delicious margarita in a coupe glass with so much ice! Dinner was wonderful. Portions are not huge but just right. We ordered the octopus appetizer and for dinner the swordfish and snapper. When the fish arrived in 20 minutes we has asked if we could just have the appetizer and bring our meals after. (A food runner was the one bringing the dishes not our server.) He said hold on let me find out. A minute later a friendly manager came to our table and apologized for this error and said he's take care of this. Five minutes later the octopus arrived and it was outstanding! We wished there was a little more to the dish after sharing the one piece that was on the plate. The manager came back several times to check on our meals too. Both the snapper and swordfish dishes were delicious. Service was very good and consistent on a busy Saturday night. The ambiance is beautiful, the bartenders friendly and food is great. We will keep this place on our must visit again list!
