The Turtle Club Restaurant

We have always loved The Turtle Club. On this visit, we were pleased to see the new menu and it didn’t disappoint. The service was great - everyone was helping each other. The manager was present and assisting. We headed out and my phone rang. It was the manager telling me that I left my card there. Needless to say, this place gets customer service. Did I mention the view?

Unfortunately the weather was not so nice when we went but the food and service was excellent. I highly recommend the coconut fried shrimp for an exciting taste. The outside area has you set in the sand on the beach, a very pleasant experience despite the soft pitter patter. The staff are really friendly and accommodating.

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. It is at the Vanderbilt Beach Resort in Naples. You can eat inside or outside, with a spectacular view!! I definitely recommend eating outside. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. They do not take reservations for lunch, but do for dinner and are definitely needed. Splurge and enjoy the view and great food.

This is by far the best place to enjoy an incredible meal while having a view of Naples' stunning sunset. The staff is unreal and I routinely leave a 25% tip because of it. I believe Allison was our last server and she was fantastic, offering her honest opinion when asked about the menu. In a city of overpriced mediocre food, the Turtle Club is worth every penny and more. The downside, I have to make a reservation in October for my April anniversary. The upside, it is always worth it and the food seems to get better with each visit.

There is a reason this restaurant made the list of top 100 most scenic restaurants in America. The outdoor seating can only be described as breathtaking. 180° of beach and ocean view soothes the soul as mother nature intended. Your feet are literally in the sand shall you select the tables closest to the beach. Their lemon martini, margarita, and tiramisu martini are grandly delicious. On both lunch occasions, I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich, simply amazing. Our server, Summer, who my parents and I from California had on both occasions (we requested her section on the second visit due to her awesomeness) was the absolute perfect combination of service and personality every server should exemplify. I would recommend arriving early around 11AM to beat the lunch rush and to ensure prime seating is available. Valet parking is free! My only recommendation to the Turtle Club is to add bread and butter service with lunch and dinner. This. Place. Is. A. MUST!
