Restaurants near The Village Shops on Venetian Bay

We have eaten at the restaurant many times. The good and service are always excellent. We shared the fried calamari and it was outstanding. I have linguine and clams and my husband has veal piccata, both were delicious. Service was exceptional. A favorite restaurant that always delivers.

We attended for Thanksgiving dinner and opted for the traditional menu. The turkey is the best prepared we've ever had in a restaurant. The sides were done nicely. There was enough for leftover boxes. Part way through dinner the heaters were activated and we were comfortable on the deck looking at at the bay. Lucas was our server and conducted everything perfectly. Part way through dinner an entertainer began playing piano and singing softly, quite nice. We have dined here before and will again.

Living in Naples for the past 25 years, Ive seen many restaurants open to rave reviews, and close within 3 years. Tony Ridgeway is a local restauranteur who understands what people want, what is trendy, and what is a tried and true" menu item. I love both his restaurants. Everything is always excellent. At Bayside today we both had the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner that was fantastic. He used REAL turkeys, Both white meat and dark were on our plates. and everyone knows the white meat is easy to slice, but the dark meat always comes out in chunks. That's what we had. No processed "turkey roast" that most places serve. Thank you Tony for a delightful Holiday dinner!

Coming to M Waterfront Grille has become an annual Thanksgiving tradition for us. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is absolutely delicious, and the portions are very generous. We were so full that we took our pumpkin pie to go to enjoy later. We sat outside along the water, and the ambience was relaxing. The service is always excellent - thank you to Amy - and we never were rushed despite being a busy holiday. We love going to Naples for the Thanksgiving weekend and to M Waterfront Grille for our holiday meal. It's a truly enjoyable dining experience.

I requested inside dining but when they seated us they put us at a table outside right at the edge of the curb of the street. Before even sitting down I mentioned my request but the host said we don’t do requests. I explained again in Italian, and he said, oh ok we can get you inside, just wait 20 minutes and a table will open. Ugh. Other than that the food was incredible, and service was excellent.
