The Poolside Cafe - Naples

From beginning to end, it was an incredible experience. We had dinner at the bar, served by John the bartender, and both the food and service were outstanding. The filet was one of the best we've ever tasted, cooked to perfection. The raspberry soufflé and chocolate cake were simply divine.

The specials of the day were the steak fries and glazed carrots, both of which were outstanding! The thick-cut, rectangular prism-shaped potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You have to order them just to try! The carrots were similarly impressive, with great flavor and generous portions.

The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere made dining in the hotel quite comfortable. However, I was disappointed by the food selection and portion sizes. Compared to other restaurants I’ve visited, the lunch offered here fell short of my expectations.

We enjoyed the most delicious Greek salad for a late lunch/dinner. It was fresh and incredibly flavorful. The service was exceptional; they noticed that the sun hadn't come out yet and it was a bit cool, so they moved us to a more comfortable spot. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

Dining by the pool isn't always ideal, but it often offers convenience. At the poolside café, you get both high quality and convenience! The chicken quesadillas were just as good as you'd find at a top American-Mexican restaurant, and the grouper sandwich was among the best I've ever had. Definitely indulge in the guacamole, salsa, and chips—they were incredibly fresh and flavorful. Oscar provided excellent service, making our experience even better.
