Very good restaurant with beautiful location on the beach so you can sit and eat at a perfectly set table but still have your feet in the sand. Extremely good pre-drink (whisky sour) and then cannon fodder on it! A main course was missed when the others came out and without blinking the waiter offered a lobster soup that came out in no time. Just luck for the soup was the best thing we ate all night, maybe on the whole vacation in Florida! Thanks for a great night! Jonas and family (from Sweden)

Nice view tables on beach. That’s what you pay for not the food. For lunch. Very expensive. sea food 1/2 of a croissant sandwich with broken scrap pieces of potato chips from bottom of the package For $28 you think you would not get a 1/2 of a croissant.
Crazy. We had no drinks and walked out of there paying with tip $80. Valet parking only.

We were anxious to return to the Turtle Club after the renovations. The valet service was excellent both coming and going to and from the restaurant. The pathway to the front door was beautifully landscaped and because we arrived early for our reservation, we walked to the outdoor seating area.
The tables were set in sand and on pavers but I would suggest wearing appropriate footwear for the sand.
Inside the original turtle shell was nicely displayed. Hostesses were waiting to seat us and we were taken to a table near the bar. The interior was missing only one thing…sound minimization. Before the hurricane we found the interior to be too loud to carry on a conversation and we felt the same this time even though there was not a complete house.
We tried to order a beer on the menu but they ran out. The wedge salad was also not available. The waiter told us that they were out of another offering shown on the menu. This was at a 5:30 seating.
Once we got our soup, salad, and meals we started to eat but after a few bites, a fly landed in one of the entrees. That was understandable because the door from the inside to the outside continued to open and close as wait staff served the outside diners. Our waiter was very kind to offer to remake the meal or comp the meal with the fly since I’d lost my appetite.
There was a large wait staff and we were told that most of the previous workers returned.

The two best part of this restaurant is the view and the valet guy. I called there weeks ahead of our trip to get an outside table to celebrate our anniversary the first table they tried to seat us at was in the back of the patio behind the building. We asked for a different table and ended up sitting up front next to the beach. Our waiter had no idea of what was on the menu he had a hard time reciting the specials and had a difficult time remembering the market prices for items on the special menu. When we ordered their specialty bread is when he notified us that they were out of it and we’re having a hard time getting it from Germany. The way he presented the food was so unappealing that all we ended up ordering or two simple appetizers, we left the restaurant deeply, disappointed, hungry, and we shared this experience at the staff of the Ritz Carlton, where we were staying I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are so many other options that you can choose.

am currently at the Turtle Club right now.
We originally had reservations for indoors at 8:45.
We came early and asked for outdoor seating if available.
We ordered a drink
I ordered a shrimp cocktail for dinner
My sister ordered a salad and oysters
Johnny told us, “just so you know we only serve dinner for those that order full meals.”
For us that is a full meal. We had been coming her for 20 years and ate here 4 times this week.
This was obnoxious.
Ruined our night. Lynne the manageer, came out and said, “sorry this is our policy”. She went on to say that this should’ve been told to you nicer but these are our rules"
My thought is if you would go to the lengths of complaining on the amount someone was ordering, you may want to inform the customer before seating them that you had to meet a certain dollar criteria.
We will never come here again. This ruined our last night. This was insulting and unacceptable
Meanwhile she insulted the people behind us by saying, “at least you didn’t try to order from the children’s menu.” She was referring to the table behind us. Not professional- not cool. Not smart. They overheard her and were dumbfounded. They turned around and asked us, "Did we just hear her complaining to you about us""
Have never been treated like this
if you still choose to go there, ask for Sabrina...refuse "Johnny"....
Going forward we will pay the same amount for better atmosphere at Laplaya's Baleen Restaurant.

Great spot right on the beach! I walked down from the Ritz to enjoy a salad for lunch. It was pretty windy that day and I had to use my body to block my salad or my lettuce would become airborne. They really should put up a barrier on the south side of the outside dining area. My salad was very good and I would definitely go back!

Our daughter gifted us reservations at the Turtle Club on the waterfront. She heard wait list was over a month at this popular site so anticipated our visit and we appreciated and affirm it is worth the wait!
Our experience was outstanding beginning with cordial welcome from the complimentary parking valet.
We were seated promptly with sunset views and sounds of the waves adding to the ambiance.
Our waiter was prompt, clearly sharing best options from a fabulous menu.
We opted for an appetizer he suggested, the turtlefeller oysters. We would highly recommend for flavors beyond description
Our main course entree was also his suggestion, the sea harvest. Scallops, shrimp, mahi, and twin lobster tais with asparagus and saffron rice, wow, Can't begin to say this was one of our favorite meals ever.
We were content but to not make our time together conclude too soon, we opted to explore the dessert menu. Would not regret our choices...
Deep dish caramel apple pie and orange cake.
Sad to leave the wonderful experience but we savor the memories of this special place.

This is an amazing restaurant! Eating on the beach is so much fun and the restaurant has such a good view. The food is also amazing. The meals were so creative, delicious, beautiful, and perfectly executed. Our server Sabrina was also amazing. She had a very positive energy which majorly contributed to making the dinner excellent. Overall, this is definitely something I recommend experiencing. Just make sure you book the dinner reservation 1-2 months in advance or else it will be sold out.

It was just OK... this place came highly recommended. Honestly, it was very overrated in my opinion. The ceviche was decent but heavily lime flavored with few shrimp or scallop pieces. The deviled eggs had a nice flavor, but the white portions of the egg tasted and had texture like they were boiled 2 or 3 days earlier.
The grouper was a generous portion but extremely dry and flavorless. The scallops had a nice flavor but they were extremely small bordering on “bay” scallop size.
The place was also packed and extremely loud. There were several obnoxious drunks at the bar and milling about at some of the tables. Fine dining...this is not your place. The service was slow at times and, at almost $100/person, this meal was a disappointment.

My kids and I took my wife to the Turtle Club restaurant in Naples for her birthday and we were all very happy with the evening. We arrived before our reservation so that we could watch the sunset. They seated us early at a table with nothing blocking our view and we were able to see the beautiful sunset before we placed our orders.
Our server was really nice and able to take each and every request and make it happen. Some with risotto instead of rice, another order was the surf and turf but prepared like this other menu item, etc. We weren't being picky, instead, we each knew just what we wanted and liked. She took it in stride and we all joked a couple of times at all of the modifications. I'm sure it wasn't as well received in the kitchen but, they did not disappoint, everything was exactly how we requested and excellent. Each modification was handled and everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they had ordered.
At the end of the meal, it was almost closing time for them. They were not rushing us out at all and since it was my wife's birthday, we wanted to have dessert and asked if we could move inside. Our server set another table up for us just inside the door that was also hers. She was awesome! We ordered a couple of after-dinner drinks just as she brought out a slice of key lime pie for my wife's birthday!
Yes, it is expensive and you are paying for the entire experience but all in all, it was a great night and I'd definitely go back if I can at some point in the future.

We visited The Turtle Club while staying in Naples. We went for lunch. The outdoor seating is wonderful. The patio is on the beach and the setting is very tropical. The lunch menu has many options. We tried the Crab & Shrimp Salad and the Mediterranean Salad which is a Greek salad topped with grilled chicken. Both were fantastic. Service was excellent and there is valet parking. There are no reservations taken at lunch time but we arrived just before noon and were told it was a 20 minute wait. This was accurate. We had enough time to order drinks at the bar and the table was ready. Highly recommend!

This is a popular restaurant and it’s hard to get a reservation for outside dining. The view is lovely and that is perhaps the main draw, as our food experience was poor. While we had an outside reservation we opted to sit inside as it was far too hot to enjoy dinner outside at 6:15. The server was nice, the cocktails and seafood chowder were very good. My wedge salad was very blah, like something from a bad roadside diner, my
Ravioli dish was quite tasty. The $62 New York steak was absolutely awful, one of the worst my other half has eaten. Tough, chewy and hardly edible. At least there were two happy dogs at home. They had no complaints about the steak but it was a total waste of $62. The nice view isn’t enough for a return visit. Too many superior dining options in the area.

We had 4 couples come in from out of town for our friends big bday celebration. We booked reservations 2 months in advance. They called 7 min before our reservation to say that we will be rescheduled for another night due to rain. Already in an Uber, we were upset and had no backup plan for 8 people. While we can appreciate that they can not control the weather, the restaurant did not inform us that outside dining is at risk for complete cancelation, with no indoor backup plan. Upon knowing this, we would have booked an indoor table to guarantee us a spot. They said other people were prioritized ahead of us, even though we had booked this reservation 2 months prior. We decide to still go, got seated at a crammed table that does not accommodate for 8 guests (outside). We had to wipe down our own chairs that were completely wet. The hostess, Julia was very rude when we asked for extra umbrellas/ and to combine a table. We then asked to speak to the manager, he was argumentative rather than apologetic and was not at all willing to accommodate our our large party. He was not at all professional, and we decided to all get up and walk out. We were really eager to try this restaurant, heard the food was great and picked out our meals ahead of time. We could not believe the service that was received and will never be going back.

Dining on the beach during 20mph winds can be a challenge, but they handle it really well. Clear wind-screens still provide the ambiance but kept us all from blowing away. Meal was well-timed and thoroughly enjoyed. Turtle Bread was super tasty and a must. Shrimp scampi, grouper, and their triple-tail special were done really well. And the chocolate cake was a perfect way to top off the meal. The drinks are made with their own rum which was really smooth. Highly recommend dining here.
