My wife and I had diner there last evening and the experience was amazing. Let's start with the service. Our waiter Eddie was fabulous. When we asked if they had the pumpkin swordfish advertised on the weekly special he looked perplexed and immediately brought the owner over who explained his son did the webpage updates and is out of town and it is old. He then proceeded to explain all the great specials for the evening. Nice touch!! After that I had the filet and my wife had the beef with mushroom sauce. Yum! At the end of the evening we loved the mushroom sauce so much we asked Eddie if we could have rhe mushroom sausages on the filet to which he responded of course we can customize anything for you. Great answer. Overall a great experience and highly recommended. One item they do need to reconsider is the corkage fee. Currently the corkage fee is high based on other restaurants and although I am not against paying a corkage fee I often times find that smaller restaurants do not have a vast list and I prefer to bring something I like. With a corkage fee as high as they have I tend to not want to drink wine!! read more

From the moment you walk in you feel you were in Provonce. The service was excellent The owner James was very attentive. The food was magnificent.

Really great dinner here! A hole in the wall next to Publix in shopping center but had heard great things so wanted to check it out. We got a bottle of wine and for apps we got the octopus and escargot. For the entree I got the duck and it was seriously amazing! Highly recommend checking it out if you want a nice but casual dinner in north Naples. read more

I keep trying new French restaurants in the area and there are many fabulous chefs here but I still come back to Côte d'Azur. I think it's the whole package. Excellent service, beautiful surroundings and the lighting is soft Pair all that with delicious food and you have The perfect recipe. The wine advice was a great match for our veal chop entrees and I have never had better profiteroles in this country. My 71st birthday was very special but this was the proverbial cherry on the cake. Merci. read more

AN OVERDUE UPDATE We hadn't been to this outstanding French restaurant in many years, so we decided to have our Christmas Eve dinner here. Though it changed hands in 2017, the staff and romantic atmosphere remains. We started with two special appetizers: the Baby Calamari and the Mixed Organic Greens. Both were delicious. For our entrées, I had the Sea Bass with a Key West Shrimp special and it was just about the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and succulent. My wife had the Crispy Duck with Glazed Bosc Pears. She found it to be delicious though then presentation was a bit spare; the plate could have used some enhancement. For dessert, the Gelato Quartette (vanilla, chocolate, caramel, & raspberry sorbet with Belgian chocolate sauce) was superb. The service (we had Claude) was impeccable and we had perfect seating in an inside deuce, though some were dining in the outside air.

We visited this quaint and intimate restaurant for our anniversary and could not have been more pleased and satisfied. The food is without a doubt the best French cuisine in Southwest Florida. We had the escargot (sweet and succulent) and mussels (briny and plump) for appetizers. The special veal chop was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms complimented them with and earthly and delicate sauce. The lobster was so light and flavorful it seemed to have been braised in milk. Our server, Tony, made us both feel welcome and appreciated. He answered every question we put to him. Cote D'Azur is our favorite place to celebrate as a couple and we will be coming back for years to come! read more

We went to this restaurant to see Kevin and listen to his playing of French classics. We had a beautiful meal on the patio. It was very busy but plenty of room. The service was excellent and plenty of staff, which is amazing in this day and age. I had escargot with a delicious purée that was delicious and different from the regular garlic butter, although i love that as well. The next treat was the seared foie that was amazing. So beautifully presented. See picture. Absolutely delicious. The duck for my main entrée was delicious. Crispy skin and delicious sides. We sat on the patio to listen to the music but the inside dining was lovely . The decor nice. Lots of parking as it is in a strip mall. A little noisy on the patio as it is just off 41 but nice seating and plenty of it. Be prepared as it is pricey, but delicious and good for special occasions. I might have overdone it as i had two pricey dishes. I had the escargot, seared foie, and the duck. So more than enough. Took half the duck home and enjoyed it the next day with some of my home made blackberry compote, to enhance the cranberry compote they had, which was delicious. So a lovely meal all around. Enjoy! read more

I was here last year and really enjoyed the top notch cuisine here. They brought some ciabatta bread and butter or olive oil. I tried not to consume too much bread while patiently waiting for the seared foie gras with toasted brioche, glazed Bosc pear, berries, cranberry chutney, Port wine cassis, which did not disappoint. I then enjoyed the crispy duck, but wish it had not come with the same accompaniments and a small portion of a sweet potato purée. But they do compliment both dishes well. For dessert I had their excellent profiterole which has a dark Belgium chocolate sauce and could not have been better! Service was good and I look forward to coming back. read more

Not a French restaurant not for service nor dishes Nov 2022 * Family Waitors are pretentious and unfriendly. For a French restaurant with pricely dishes service could have been at a higher level. Waiters were running around and avoiding our table. Bread at the table was dry and cold, when asked for more bread they brought it fresh. They served olive oil with balsamic vinegar (yes, they call it French restaurant!) Which was semi-dry at the table. When asked for butter, the waiter ignored request completely. My $60 veal osso buco was lacking taste, meat was slightly overcooked, chewy and no famous french souses. The saving piece was polenta, it was decent. Yet the portion of the dish was french (very small). Disappointing experience. read more

Wow just loved this gem of a place! We met friends of ours for dinner Wednesday. We sat outside on the patio. Food was outstanding, delicious, and cooked to perfection! Everyone loved their dish!!! Cannot wait to come back! Thanks to Tony who took excellent care of us midwesterner's! read more

This is one of the best restaurants in the Naples area. I didn't expect it given it wasn't located on 5th avenue, which is the main attraction in the area. The service is top tear. From the moment you walk in, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The first time we went, Tony was our waiter and he did a wonderful job with food recommendations and wine pairing. I got the chocolate mousse for dessert and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere inside is very warm and lovely. We sat in a small two person booth and the set up was very romantic. A bit pricy, but it is worth it every penny. read more

Meh. I had such high hopes when I sat down. The bread and olive oil were good. They had coarse salt in a pretty dish and then.....I had the mussels and my date had the escargot. Both were in the same rich sauce, while fairly tasty, didn't meet muster. The snails weren't in a shell with garlic butter, which is the best, and the mussels were lost not having the delicacy of a white wine, garlic sauce. Then came the entrees. I had the grouper which was dry and the veggies were over cooked. My date had the lobster which was in a cream sauce that had little flavor. Salt helped a bit, but couldn't solve the problem. We each had two glasses of wine - I was dying for a martini, but neglected to check that they didn't have a liquor license. We got the crème Brûlée and chocolate mousse to go and ate when we got home. Average. Sooo $300+ with tip wasn't worth it. read more

Our first time to Cote D' Azur and will not be the last!! We did not have a reservation since it was a last minute decision.. next time we will plan ahead. Our server Claude was very professional and knowledgeable, he was the only server however kept his cool and handled the busy night with attention to all tables. We choose the three course meal with wine pairings, the asparagus soup was very rich and full of flavor, I had the bass and my husband ordered the lamb both were wonderful and done to perfection. Wine selection is very nice and not over priced. Highly recommend this restaurant !! read more

Pricey but worth the cost. Every entree was perfect. If you enjoy French cuisine then this place is for you.

Without a doubt one of the worst restaurants in Naples today. We had reservations for 2 in a booth and got neither being told it's season and we shouldn't expect everything. We had verified these at 1030 that day. My daughter ordered escargot, and was served as bright green soup with snails in it, not tasty. She also ordered the lobster and reported it was pretty good but in a sea of sauce and overcooked, tough claws and tails. I ordered grilled artichoke hearts and they were served ice cold immediately up ordering so they are kept in the fridge which the waiter acknowledged, not fresh. I also ordered filet mignon, ordered rare, received medium. The really bad thing was no one came to refill our water or wine glasses, asked how our food was, if we needed anything, etc. or were told that wasn't their job and then didn't find someone to help. the restaurant was barely half full. From the beginning to the end we were treated rudely, even with a reservation, no one checked on us, our waiter refused to give us his name, when we entered we were told that yes we had a reservation but she didn't have the space for 2 people. I highly recommend you skip this dump and go to Bleu Provence for some good French food and waiters who know how to assist people. We just thought we'd try something new and are very sorry that we did. We ordered the chocolate mousse to share and it tasted like pudding. I've lived here 35 years and this is one of the worst examples of our fine restaurants. read more

If you want a quick fast dinner this is the place for you Had a 7:30pm res last night.got to the restaurant at 7:40pm by 7:53pm my appetizer was in front of me. Did not even have a full glass of wine yet By the way i bring my own wine because they never seem to have any bottles i want Lets not forget the 30.00. Rip cork fee Waiter at 8pm asking what we wanted for main course.told him again not sure but he said kitchens closing. I was what? Its 8:10pm I called another waiter over Tony and he said the chef was leaving and they had all early reservations so there closing I said the restaurants hours are till 9pm?? Anyway i told him give me the check Wont ever be back at this place again Like i said if you eat at 5 or 6pm this is the place If you go 730pm forget it Dont need to spend good money to be rushed read more

Food was ok, everything was ala carte. I ordered salmon which consisted of about 4 oz of fish surrounded by a very good sauce, 2 pieces of asparagus and 2 halves of a tiny potato that was about an inch in length. Cost...$40.00. I won't return. read more

We have been going there over 10 years and we were regulars.. we made a res weeks ago because I wanted to extend my condolences to the owner in regards to his lovely wife passing.. once we got into the restaurant he informed us he only had one table for us.. it was by the kitchen and the bathroom.. we were flabbergasted and just said to him how rude and left.. his lovely wife Darlene NEVER did that to us! We will never be back and I'm sure with his lack of respect for regular customers he will run that restaurant to the ground! How sad! read more

The restaurant came highly recommended and with good reason. when you first enter, you step out of Naples and into the charm of a French country farm house. The service was attentive,but nothing to right home about. This place however is all about the food. We started with a plethora of appetizers as we couldn't choose. The baby octopus and escargot were flavorful and perfectly tender, difficult to accomplish feats for both. Not even a hint of chewiness. The beet salad was light and refreshing and the goat cheese crouton with truffle essence was crispy subtle, earthy and delicious. The main coarse came and I wish I could comment of the rest of the food but I was to engrossed with the delicious duck. Pineapple with truffle oil, celery root toped with decedent foie gras, the least exciting portion of the meal was the perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, tender duck breast with subtle sweet savory sauce. Dessert was everything I would have expected. The cheese plate had a wonderful assortment and the figs were sweet and a perfect complement. The berries were fresh with sweet,creamy sauce that was decadent but unassuming. I can not wait for my next visit and to try everything else on the menu. read more

Unfortunately can not leave less than one star. We had several meals at this restaurant it was usually a good experience. This time it was very different though. First, the Maitre D' could not find our reservation, then he claimed that it was for 2 people, not 4. After I showed him a confirmation from the Open Table that clearly stated that I reserved a table for 4, he became visibly upset and pointed us to the worst table in an almost empty restaurant. When we politely asked to be seated elsewhere, he rudely refused. From now on we are taking our business elsewhere. read more

Who would've expect to find such a cute, great French restaurant tucked inside a strip mall? We came here for dinner at 6:30pm on Tuesday, it wasn't packed and I was at first skeptical at how good this place would be. The moment we were seated the waiter brought us warm, steamy bread; I love when restaurants serve you that! We were given a moment to look over the menu and he came back to tell us today's specials. Everything on their menu looked so good, it was a very difficult decision. Hubby had his eyes set on pan seared foie gras as appetizer, I had the salmon carpaccio recommended by our waiter. We both went for the specials as our entrees - hubby had duck leg confit and I had a combo seafood dish. Our food was so amazingly flavorful. Hubby said this was the best foie gras he's ever had and I agreed, we were both reminiscing the next day. With everything so good I couldn't resist desserts after they brought the menu. We opted to share the Profiterole and wow, I just can't wait to be back on our next trip to Naples! read more

You can skip this restaurant. It's way overpriced and the food really isn't that good. You can do so much better in Naples. First, it's off season and he charged our group full price. Most restaurants in Naples have some sort of special during the off season. Not here. Maybe that's why the place was empty last night. Without our group the place would have been a financial disaster. Service was decent but considering the price of the meals it should have been much better. The meals sort of dribbled out of the kitchen over a 15 minute period. That left people wondering whether they should start eating or wait for the rest of the group. Everyone at our end of the table left very unimpressed. Everyone also agreed that they would not return. There are so many places far better than this restaurant. It wasn't bad actually. It simply wasn't worth the money. Basically this place is a really bad value. They have very high prices and nothing lived up to the level of the pricing. Our group has never minded high prices. They just expect the food and service to be commensurate with the price. In this case it wasn't even close. read more

Both of which were outstanding. My husband had the crispy duck and I had the salmon entrée. Both very good.

I'm French so I'm picky concerning the French restaurant and expect quality. The Cote D'Azur is an excellent one. I don't like too much the decoration inside the restaurant, this sounds fake and for tourist, but this is only MY point of view. The restaurant is always full inside, so I guess, all other people like the decoration. I'm usually seating outside. The decoration is nice and warm. It looks like one of this Provence terrace and I feel like home. Remember to relax and feel comfortable as the service could be sometime a bit long to start, specially if you are outside, but when it starts, the service is perfect, personalized and exceed expectations, time after time. Most importantly, the food is just excellent, the foie Gras is well cooked and the duck is just amazing and crispy. I will return once a month for sure. A little French area! read more

Incredible As Always!!!! It was bitter sweet to learn that Claudio was selling the restaurant. This has been our gem for several years when in town. Naturally I was hesitant and reluctant to stop by last week, my husband thought it would be a good idea to wait a while. His thinking was to allow the new owner to "get in the swing of things" Oh boy, I was so happy I didn't listen to him.... I was pleased to see the staff hadn't changed. This was our first visit since the Spring and I couldn't wait. We requested a phenomenal server named Tony whom we had twice before. Our first experience with Tony left us feeling like we didn't know which was better the service or the food. Something about exceptional service stimulates your palette! Well Tony made sure that everything was perfect, the table side presentation of the Snapper was so beautiful, I almost didn't want to eat it. But once I saw the steam come off my Snapper, I decided to take a picture so I could capture the moment... my husband had the lamb chops for the first time and said the lamb melted in his mouth, it was so flavorful and tender. He can't wait to order it again!!! For those of you that have experienced the dramatic presentation and real French flavor; consider yourself lucky! And for those of you that haven't... what are you waiting for? Make your RSVP today and treat your palette to what it deserves! And if you enjoy a nice bottle of wine, they have a fantastic selection. Ask for Tony! He really knows how to pair his wine! You're Welcome in advance, read more

This is our go to dinner spot. Unassuming and low key surroundings draws you in for a killer night of delight and marvel for you taste buds! We bring all our out of town family and guests here. Had everything on the menu. Nothing has left us wondering if we should have stayed with the tried and true. Expanded our food journey and so should you. Husbands favorites are appetizer baby octopus and for dinner crispy duck. Mine are foie gras followed by the sole special if they have it or the lobster with the creamy champagne and caviar truffle sauce. Yes please! Dessert is always a creme brulee correctly made like mama did if she were a 5 star French Chef! read more

As my wife and I have aged (80ish) we usually order two appetizers and one entree and share. At this restaurant the two appetizers virtually equaled the price of the entree, yet we were charged a splitting fee of $14. There is no mention of this on their online menu and we didn't really pay attention to the restaurant menu as we had already chosen our courses. Our server did NOT mention a splitting fee when we ordered. This is a RIPOFF. We will not return nor will our tablemates. read more

The food was excellent - once we got our order at the correct temperature. Unfortunately I can't comment on their escargot because our waiter somehow canceled our order. My other dining companions had excellent meals as well. We thought our waiter had reclaimed the evening with his mea culpa until our bill was incorrect and when we asked for a revised bill, he crumpled them in our face. After all the mistakes he had already made. Now maybe he was having a bad day (I actually said he is having a Cody Parkey kind of day!) and I can usually forgive these mistakes. But crumpling the erroneous receipts in our faces and then having no one from management to greet us as we left the restaurant makes me question if we should return. Which makes me sad because I have always liked this place and I always have a good meal. But to have that kind of service for a $300 meal is not acceptable. read more

Lovely small and intimate restaurant. We were greeted with friendly service and quickly seated. (Yes, with reservations - definitely a must during busy season). The interior decor takes you to a small Parisian street. If you want more privacy, reserve a booth. Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable with good recommendations. Both the roasted quail and coquilles were perfectly cooked and delicious. Make this place a romantic and intimate evening. read more
