    We had wanted to sit in the main DR however, the party that was at our table continued to stay long after they had paid their bill with no intention of moving. So, we sat in the backroom which was ok until more and more people were sat there. I wear hearing aids and oh boy, I was not able to shut down the background noise. However, service and food was great as always. We love Naples and will continue to support it.

    Had to give this place 5 stars. Had reservations for Valentine’s Day at 7 PM and got there around 6:48 I was sitting at my table at 6:50. This place is very well managed. They have an amazing system to provide excellent customer service. I chose to pick from one of there preset menus instead of all you can eat and I don’t regret it. It was the perfect amount of food for two people I did upgrade everything in the meat lovers menu. I also added vegetable sides because they looked delicious. I’ve been to so many restaurants and I use to eat out quite often, but recently I feel that there’s a lot of quality and customer service lacking now a days. My bill was 117 before tip but I will say for the experience my wife and I had there is no doubt I will be coming back for another date night here in the future.

    Celebrated my bday with a group of friends & family here. The food was delicious! We had wagu tri tip, picana, and brisket. And my favorites, lamb rack and burnt ends. Smoke meats are served with curtidos in the side which is perfect to accompany the decadent cuts. Octopus and Mac & cheese also very yummy. Service, drinks, ambience and music on point.
