AMAZING VIEW!!! This is a cute, small, bar/restaurant. There is plenty of shade with numerous tables overlooking the water. I went with my sister and we both got the Shrimp Tacos with a side of Sweet Potatoes. The potatoes were cooked well, and the tacos were plentiful. Like other restaurants, you get 3 tacos. Each taco had two jumbo shrimps on them. They were STUFFED with the ingredient mixture. They were a little messy to eat but yummy. I was hungry so I forgot to take photos of our tacos... sorry. The ambience was nice. It was hot out but nice and comfortable at the restaurant. Prices were reasonable. read more

Great food, service, views and atmosphere. We tried the Ahi Tuna Crunch Salad and their new Bruce Smash Burger, both were excellent! Beer and cocktails were also great, the cocktail we ordered even came with a little rubber ducky! (I kept the ducky). Fun place and easy parking, definitely going back. read more

Great service! Day one- Christian the bartender was great! My food was amazing (Quinoa Bowl and Ribeye), the next day they combined it for me. Shift change but friendly service including help from the manager. You cannot accurately describe how amazing it is to be eating on the water. This is our first trip to Naples (for football)... we will be back read more

Bambu Tropical Bar and Grille - Bars Near Me - Naples, Florida

Have been a regular for about 2 years now. Was our favorite spot in town, but this month they changed their menus. What used to be a great rum drink is now watered down. And no rubber ducky (sad). The bayfront burger was our fav burger in town, is now a frozen patty ( bubba burger). Fish and chips are still good. Views of the bay are nice. Yet the food quality has slipped in 2025, we will be looking for a better fav spot read more

Service was excellent at our luncheon. Everyone was very attentive and accommodating. I tried the seafood soup and it was red and not white as I had expected. I was concerned but it was really delicious and I would order it again. The fish tacos were also excellent with huge pieces of fish and crunchy cabbage. They can get messy so I recommend extra napkins. The view outside looking over the water was amazing and we had a great time. Parking available through the hotel, outside the stairs to the outdoor dining area, and parallel parking on the street. If the stairs are a concern for you, you can enter from the hotel side. read more

We had a ball at Bambu Sunday night Feb 23rd 2025! The place was crowded with revelers enjoying Carmen's musical show. The manager, Jamie, warned us upon our arrival that despite some tables appearing empty, she was unable to immediately seat us due to employee call-outs. We understood that as that is happening seemingly everywhere. We were able to saddle up to the bar and order drinks for a 10 minute wait to get a nice view table. We could see that the 2 on-duty servers were hustling and enjoyed the music for another 15 minutes before our food order was taken. Again the tunes were great, so the wait was not a problem. Our food arrived a reasonable 10 minutes or so later. The seafood chowder was terrific, as was my Caesar salad. The burger was cooked to perfection. A great time was had by all of our party. We'll be back! read more

i went last night with friends.... we loved Vinny and the music. We especially loved our bartender Kelly she took great care of us and the bar! Efficient, focused on all customers we will be back soon. Hopefully Kelly will be there for another great night. Thank you! read more

Attractive views of the Naples, Florida waterfront is all I can say in a positive way about this place. We waited at the hostess stand, no one came. Finally the bartender waived us to the table of our choice. Our waiter, might be named Dean, should not be in this occupation. He greets us without menus. Later he returns with the menus. We immediately ordered drinks. My guest ordered the chicken nachos. I ordered the bbq wings. Our drinks arrived but Dean failed to bring a glass of ice as requested. I was able to get the young man server to bring ice. The nachos arrived, generous portion, tasty chicken, nacho cheese sauce was tasteless. No wings arrived. Finally Dean reappeared, I mentioned to him that the wings never arrived. Clearly he'd failed to put in the order. My guest was done eating when the wings arrived. Finally, something tasted good. I would never ever recommend this place. The server was tipped as well as Dean, but I suggest you never go to this restaurant. read more

We have been patrons here for many years. Recently, we made the stop and it was immediately apparent that it isn't the same place it was (new management)? We did not recognize anyone working there currently. We had a party of 7, initially got a table and wanted to split checks. Told they couldn't do that (later found out that isn't the case) No biggie, we moved to the bar. The hostess Raquel (?) made a statement to one of the women in our party that "modern people" just use Zell or some cash app work out a tables check. The way it was presented was inappropriate and insulting for someone in the customer service industry. Especially the "Host" I brought this to her attention and was immediately met with an attitude to include a statement that "I'm an American" and can say whatever I want. I wanted to think she was kidding but wasn't. I replied that I was as well but was also a customer trying to bring something to her attention. The hostess then followed me back to the bar where we were all no sitting to say "I'm a lady and you need to address me with class" WTF. I attempted to explain that as customers we were disappointed that she was disrespectful. I attempted to end it by telling her to go back to her host station. She replied "are you going to hit me" WTF again. I asked for the manager (Jamie) came out and said she would review the cameras to see how much of a talk she needed to have with the host. She told me 10-15 minutes she would need to do that. The bar got busy Jamie was now waiting tables. I inquired about the cameras about 45 min later and was told "I'm wearing an apron" I asked if I could give her info for a follow up and she advised me to leave it at the bar in a dismissive tone. Several minutes later I approached her and told her not to bother further, I would take it up with Erin (GM) as I felt she was blowing it off. Jamie then became rude and said she would go get Erin. Erin was helpful and apologetic. I explained what had occurred and that Raquel was the problem. Jamie was clearly overwhelmed and I understood that. Erin said he would look into and address it and offered to buy a round for us. Meanwhile 2 separate tables, one gentleman was waiting on himself for drinks and another wanted to pay their bill and apparently their waitress had clocked out and just left (??) Bottom line Raquel (??) had no business in a customer service industry. She should be terminated for her rude responses and arrogant demeanor. We have never had anything but great evenings at Bambu for many years until this "event" It is apparent they are understaffed and overwhelmed. Having run a business and been a manager of people myself, this kind of service will sink the ship. I do hope they can figure it out as we have always loved Bambu and its been one of our go to places for many years. This was all very disappointing on several levels. read more

I went there just for the tacos. They have three options, three tacos, all the same price. I thought...perfect, I'll have one of each. I show up to the near empty restaurant and sit at the bar. When I order the nice bartender tells me I can't have one of each...I can have my choice of tortillas but all three tacos must be the same. She said she knows it makes no sense. So they lost this customer due to not willing to accommodate a customer with a basic request. read more

Went there for quesadillas and drinks. Took 20 minutes for waiter to come. Never refilled our waters. He wasn't aware at all that quesadillas were half price that night. It was advertised in the hotel. Never came back to ask if we wanted other food like dessert. We called him over to request dessert, but he said kitchen was now closed? Really? Will not return. read more

The food was excellent- the service was great and friendly and it was a great atmosphere right on the water with love music.

My husband & I love boating to this little gem! I can't wait for them to bring back the crab & shrimp omelet! Part of what makes this place a gem is the service Darien provides. She's always friendly and takes good care of us. We typically sit at the outside bar where we enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Shout out to server Kimberly who was great at keeping up with our group. Sat outside by bar, lots of room but music was loud until they had live music later on Happy hours of specials on food and drinks Most appetizers I couldn't eat. Deep fried but others said it was good. I ate the cold slaw on the sides. Liked that Fries are ok but not in the special one with bacon and cheese, that was coated with gluten Beautiful view you pay for. Nice menu choices Attached to a hotel Strolling Bayfront after dinner is a plus read more

Very cool ambience and setting on Naples bay in the marina of the Bayfront Inn! We loved the view and live music but the drinks were terrible. We got the Florida Refresher which tasted like lime soda, not a cocktail. I would not return despite the cool vibe of the bar. read more

We stopped for lunch yesterday and had a great visit. The two young ladies at the bar were very nice and the service was excellent. Ordered the blackened mahi sandwich with a side salad. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing was perfect. Food came out quickly and was fresh. Lunch outside in the beautiful Florida weather this time of year is really nice. We'll be back. Thanks! read more

Bambu Tropical Bar and Grille - Blackened mahi sandwich and a side salad with raspberry vinaigrette. Excellent! - Bars Near Me - Naples, Florida

This place is awesome! The bartenders are amazing. They were so attentive and friendly! We brought our two mini aussies and one of them started to get scared when the thunderstorms started so the bartender made some "pup cups" and brought them over for the dogs to calm them down. It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for my dogs and I really appreciated it!! Great people, great atmosphere, great drinks! read more

Do not go to this place, dirty, service is horrible. Went yesterday sit by the bar with my wife, after being completely ignored for about 10-15 minutes we just left. There are much better places in same area with decent service. Avoid this place. read more

We met out-of-town friends for lunch on a beautiful sunny Thursday afternoon. All seating is outside and when we arrived, it was 'seat yourself', so we picked a high-top table with a view of the boats and water. The place was busy but not crowded, the noise level was perfect for conversation (except the occasional plane taking-off). Food was good for the money and location; our server was great. Parking is convenient, our friends were glad to be introduced to this venue, just a short walk over to Tin City. read more

Had a great time this Sunday with 45 of my neighbors. Kelley the only waitress took very good care of us and the kitchen did a great job too

Great food. Friendly, attentive service. Great view of the water. Terrific entertainment. We had a delightful evening!

Kelly is AMAZING! She was dreaming up drinks for us all night. Such a sweetheart, and so much fun!!!!!

Amazing service and friendly staff, the view is amazing relaxing you just know that you are in a different city. Me and my husband are from Miami, although we absolutely LOVE Miami, there is something different about Naples and this restaurant definitely "sealed the deal" the door is absolutely delicious and FRESH! I def recommend we'll be back. The Manager Moises was very very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We'll be back. read more

Breakfast was not great. Shrimp and crab omelette had two shrimp and a few shreds of crab covered up by a ton of cheese. Waitress extremely unenthusiastic and unwelcoming. Maybe she was having a bad day. Go to EJ's instead, 5 star service and fresh food! read more

Enjoyed a late night meal here that melted away the stress of the day. Kelly was attentive and on point bringing drinks immediately so I could enjoy my Pinot Grigio in the balmy night air overlooking the bay while waiting for our food. Generous pour of wine served in an individual carafe. The southwestern bowl was generous portion, chocked full of goodness and plenty of added blackened chicken. Kelly was also great in recommending to get the cheese quesadilla and add grilled chicken vs. removing the peppers and onions from the regular chicken quesadilla. I also ordered a to-go dish and when checking in with Kelly halfway through my meal to tell her she could start prepping that order, she'd already taken notice and informed the chef. Definitely would come back here on my next visit to florida! read more

Great pub style food. The vegetarian flatbread was amazing! Kim was phenomenal and is one of the best servers that we've had in a long time. She even followed us out into the parking and chased after us when we forgot our credit card. Kim was so attentive & made it a great night on the water. read more

Really really really awful...forget about it...LOL. Ran fast away to KRico nearby to avoid possible food poisoning.

The food was amazing, and Moises was great such warm welcoming environment and delicious food! The customer service from Bambu is unforgettable. read more

Excellent food choices and the peel and eat shrimp where big and fresh brings about twenty shrimp not bad at all for the price . Serves and bar tender are excellent . read more

We walked in and walked out. We were briefly acknowledged, given menus, and never approached again. We made eye contact and waved to the bar tender and 3 other servers. There were only 2 other tables sat. My wife went to use the bathroom and told the waitress we were ready to order. Still no acknowledgement and no approach. No water. Zip. I guess it must be nice in the time of Covid to be open and not need revenue. Good on the owner. Unfortunately the staff missed out on a 20% tip minimum and a healthy bill with a hungry family of 4 with 2 teenage boys. Zero stars. read more

Happy hour was great here. Gorgeous vantage, lots to watch (including dolphins in the bay), welcoming service and $6.99 happy hour plates, buck off beer and $5 wells. Food was well presented, tasty, plentiful for the money. Ditto the drinks. Highly recommend the back patio. read more

The Bambu Bar & Grill has become my local favorite. Moira, Rich, Daniel, Josh, Angel, Michelle, Kelly, Shirley and all the staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is great and the happy hour specials are a home run. There are even better things to come in the near future. It is a hotel, but they love their local customers and it's a pleasure to be there. read more

First time here and it did not disappoint!! Marco was our server and he did a great job managing a big group. Food was very good and happy hour prices were very reasonable! Windy night so have to come back when it calms down!! Definitely worth a trip!! read more

App was terrible, seemed frozen and the left over of the shut down. Drinks were extremely generic. Had the Bambu sampler and it was garbage. Had two different drinks which were pathetic. Save yourself before going out of Busniess read more

Great atmosphere great views of the bay reasonably priced drinks and the food was excellent. We'll definitely come back.

Lousy service. Sat there for 15 minutes and had to flag down the waitress. She told us she would be back. Another 5 m in passes. It was Happy Hour and she informed us all the special drinks on the menu at the table were $5.00. We ordered 2 Rum Runners and a Margarita. She also asked if we wanted any water. 3 of the 4 of us said yes. Drinks came. No water. Drinks were empty, still Happy Hour. One of us went to bar to get another drink before Happy Hour ended. I flagged her down to remind her about the waters. Tab came, "Sorry, I made a mistake" she said, only the beer was priced for Happy Hour. Said she tried to get us a discount since she was "misinformed". Misinformed???? I think she made an assumption. Not going back. Each drink was $9.00! read more

Sitting outside over looking the bay was so lovely to start out evening and THAT was it. I ordered a Prosecco which they did not have so a very red in color cosmo showed up. We stated that we were here for dinner so we did get the dinner menu deliver to a table. That was the only thing that was delivered we waited 35 minutes for a waiter to come back I think he actually left the restaurant so we decided to do so as well. The only thing good about that restaurant is the view. read more
