We were looking for a place that was not a chain. Walked the downtown area of Naples on a Sunday night in June and found Bistro 821. The food was outstanding. I don't like fish, but its the Florida coast, so I tried something I've never had - Black Grouper. It was excellent. My wife had the Rib Eye and... more

Huge, wonderful menu. LOVE that you can order app portions of the pasta dishes. I split two appetizers then had an appetizer portion of the sirloin tips and Gorgonzola. I ended up taking some home. It was *excellent* and a very large portion for a "half" size. The two apps I shared -- stuffed artichoke was excellent but quite small... more

I am surprised to see so many negative reviews about this restaurant, I went last week and thought it was great! I got the Tomato Salad which was to die for, the tomatoes were sweet and the basil and mozzarella were very fresh. I got the Sea Bass for my entree which was recommended by our very friendly server, I... more

My family and I went to this restaurant over Christmas break....when Naples is most crowded. It should have been a sign when we got there on a Saturday night and the place was empty. The service wasn't overly friendly but worse was the food. None of us (4 adults) really liked our entrees which were bland and/or covered up by... more

We were booked into Bistro 821 by the concierge at our hotel, at short notice. We arrived at the restaurant early, and were shown to our table. This required us to step outside the main restaurant, and use the access steps. The second floor “dining room” is a converted store room, with 6 tables inside. Each table has paper table... more

My fiancee and I went back to see if this restaurant had improved but unfortunately both the food and the service have gotten worse. It's so expensive for what you get and there are so many better places right nearby. more

Right on 5th Avenue with a funky vibe, this place serves portions so big it would be a good idea to share! The menu is fabulous with some many creative and eclectic plates. I wanted to try everything. I ordered sesame encrusted rare tuna served with a coconut rice, broccoli and a soy miso glaze. My description doesn't do the... more

This place was very stylish, but overly-noisy and absurdly slow on the service end. The appetizers we ordered were top-notch, but we both found our entrees and desserts disappointing. Maybe it's better on a weeknight. We're not rushing back to find out. more

I have had the chance to experience almost every restaraunt in Naples a few times. I have spent many happy hours, dinners, family gatherings, all types of celebrations at the Bistro 821 over the years. I have always had excellent food and service. The quality has always been consistant in season and off. I think it is the best place... more
