The first couple years we moved to Naples, this was my go to seafood restaurant (for date night,…read moreNYE, guest visits, etc). Absolutely love the Chilean sea bass. Last couple of years, we have been going to new restaurants in the area with varying results. My niece sent me a gift certificate for Christmas since she remembered when I brought her here with her family. I am glad she did since it reminded me how delicious the food is and how attentive the servers/staff are. We started with appetizers (foil gras and caprese salad). For our main entrees, I ordered the halibut special, and my husband got the seafood risotto. Both were delicious. Though I preferred the Chilean sea bass, the halibut was cooked well (buttery, flaky, etc) and came with lighter sides than the Chilean sea bass. The risotto was creamy with lots of seafood. Very good selection of wines by the glass. Overall, we had a very good meal and a pleasant evening. Since we didn't came here for their early dining specials, the check total was a bit pricey but is within reason for a 5th avenue restaurant. We Will definitely come back again.

The incredible atmosphere was augmented by the attractive guests seated everywhere. We were brought to a beautiful table and seated. The bus boy offered water, the waiter came and told us the specials and we decided to enjoy the menu! The seafood salad was to die for. We also shared a Caesar salad that was very tasty. For the main course we had the linguine and clam sauce and the scallops! Devine For dessert they actually brought us a tiramisu that was delicious!! All in all one of the nicest meals I have had in Naples! Michael and staff do not disappoint ‍

Came to Naples to visit for the weekend and we wanted to treat ourselves to a memorable dining…read moreexperience. The service, food and ambience definitely exceeded our expectations. Admittedly, when we drove to the location, we were initially taken aback as we did not expect for the restaurant to be situated in a strip mall. However, going inside the restaurant and being greeted by the friendliest attendant, we realize we were in for a treat. Looking back, I kind of appreciate now the restaurant's choice of location and very casual interior design and atmosphere, as Old Vines Supper Club's concept revolves around giving an unpretentious dining experience, stripped down of all the bells and whistles of the usual fine dining restaurants, with the main focus of providing spectacular flavor with their creative tasting menu. The overall atmosphere allowed us to better appreciate the whole experience. Amuse Bouche: Carpaccio and Deep Fried Polenta Cake, topped with chimichurri. Strong start. Loved the contrasting texture of the deep fried polenta cake and the lightness of the carpaccio. Dinner Roll and Butter: The chef again demonstrated her attention to detail as she served the most flavorful butter we've tasted. The rosemary thyme butter has great flavor, and paired perfectly with the warm poppyseed dinner roll--crisp on the outside; soft, tasty and pillowy on the inside. First Course: Husband got the fluke crudo, and I got the white asparagus panna cotta--I loved both dishes. The fluke crudo is reminiscent of a deconstructed sushi roll which I like. Both dishes were very light and fresh-tasting. Second: Poached Hogfish: Hogfish perfectly poached. Serving the carrots charred improved the flavor and the overall taste of the whole dish. I could not enjoy the spring peas puree as it was a bit overseasoned, and having it with the other components overpowered the other flavors. Third: Husband had the braised beef and broccoli raviolo, and I got the seared halibut. I liked husband's dish better, but I still enjoyed my halibut. Menu said the halibut came with a jumbo lump crab, but I could not taste nor see it in my plate. The heirloom beans were quite heavy though and somewhat overpowered the halibut. I would suggest cutting down on the beans... But overall, still a good dish! Fourth: Stuffed Quail. I loved this dish! It paired well with the "farrotto" -- their version of risotto. Dessert: Chocolate and cherries. Not sure if it's a bad batch or intentional, but some parts of the torte and/or ice cream felt a little grainy to my liking. This slight letdown did not really greatly affect our overall rating to the whole experience since we were quite stuffed and satisfied when we got to the dessert. Overall we had a great time at Old Vines--great concept, great choice of food components, very sophisticated menu. I loved the intimate setting and comfortable ambience. Definitely one for the books.

The server was really kind - we arrived a little late and he was really nice about it (we felt…read morebad). But honestly, my husband and I have never had a dining experience like this. The food was very, very not good. I can't imagine the chef has ever tried their own cooking. The eggplant dish I had was terrible. The crudo was overpowered by some kind of mustard sauce (a LOT of mustard sauce). The lamb loin had an enormous tendon running through the entire 3 oz piece, rendering it completely inedible. Honestly, I'm not picky, but this was insanely bad food. The menu is also ludicrously expensive. We went on a Thursday and it was the fixed price menu for $120 per person. Even if the food tasted good, there is nowhere near enough of it to charge this much money (every dish was tiny). UPDATE: The owner called me and gave me a refund. It sounds like they may have been having an off night. I'm not totally sure what happened, but I've added a star for the kindness from the owner.

WOW, what a disappointment!…read more Decided to come here for mother's day brunch. Like many places in Naples, a prix fix menu was standard. I gave this restaurant two stars. Not for the food. But for the service. It really should be 1.5 stars but this system doesn't allow that. Let me explain. Let's start with the appetizers. Best thing on the menu was the beet salad and goat cheese. Probably the best part of the entire meal and its presentation was fantastic. Followed by the clam chowder. Lobster bisque was pretty bad as was the ceasar salad. Onto the main items. PRIME RIB. Many ordered this but not one person liked or finished theirs. In some cases overly fatty and in others the meat was super chewy and barely flavorful. Most of prime rib from all guests was taken home to feed to the dogs. Fish was a tri-tip, overly salty but also undercooked. Desserts - Have t say the donuts were the clear winner. Key Lime Pie had a gross drizzle of raspberry sauce (While do so many restaurants do this?). Creme de pot, so sweet that your teeth hurt from eating it. Look, if you are going to charge high prices and have a prix fix menu for a special occasion like mother's day or other, then THAT menu of items better be spot on and near perfect. In this case, "M" failed miserably. Certainly won't be back.

The point is I ordered and paid for Sea Bass. I paid a lot for it and didn't get it. My companion didn't want me to make waves, so I didn't say anything. It was a decent preparation of a white fish, whatever it was... The huge, loud room had the feel of a cafeteria. Lots of children too. Not romantic, cozy or quiet. View was okay. Service was fine. Still can't believe I was served a much different substitute fish.

When we arrived there were no seats available in the main dining area but the hostess took us outside through another door to the bar area. Its a smaller side, with a few regular tables, high tops and bar seating. They had colorful lights going and music. Definitely more of a bar feel. We weren't very hungry so we shared a "My Michelle" pizza which was delicious with a flavor combo of pepperoni, shishito peppers, and hot honey. The bread was nice and fluffy. We also got the meatballs which were okay. The pine nuts on top were not my favorite. Cool place for some drinks and small bites at a later hour given that most places around close much earlier.

I'm obsessed with this restaurant. I have been 3 times since last month and just made another…read morereservation for this upcoming week. I chose it as my spot to celebrate my baptism too. Everyone was very happy with their food. The cesar salad is very good. They put a lot of a cheese on it, which is awesome. I love cheese. I have only had the triggerfish and it is an amazing dish. The fish is not fishy at all. It is meaty but light and flaky. They give a good sized portion. The pimento cheese is to die for. I can't believe how much of it I ate on my last visit. Then we have the key lime pie. Wow. Double wow. It has a burnt sugar topping similar to creme brulee. The filling is light and tart. The pie ties with Sweet Melissas. The interior is super cute. I love the nautical colors. They have a nice bar too. Hurry up and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Service started a little slowly--we didn't meet our server for about 15 minutes, although another team member quickly brought us water and drinks. Once our server arrived, he was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. It seemed like he may have been covering several tables that evening, so we completely understood. Our meal ended up taking about 90 minutes after reservation, which was longer than we expected for a quick dinner. We shared two dozen oysters, king crab legs, the miso butterfish, and cocktail.. The oysters were fresh, though we had slightly higher expectations. The king crab was easily the standout of the meal. The miso butterfish was well prepared but a bit heavy on the sauce--I think a touch of acidity and a side of vegetables would have balanced it nicely, something to consider. Between the waterfront breeze, friendly hosts, and our server's hospitality, we still had an enjoyable evening. It may have simply been a busy night for the service team. We'd gladly give Syren another try.
