We have been coming to Naples for a decade but have never tried Del Mar. We are so glad we did! The restaurant is beautiful and it has a great vibe. It is very large with seating upstairs and downstairs. Make a reservation on OpenTable, because it gets very crowded, even early. We were seated quickly and our server was excellent. She explained the menu and took our cocktail order. We had several questions and she answered them completely. We ordered a couple of appetizers and also got the lobster spaghetti, as well as the grilled seafood. Both were excellent with very large and delicious portions. They also have a great cocktail and wine wine selection. We were too full for dessert but will come back! read more

This place is BEAUTIFUL on the inside. Our server was very attentive and kind. I ordered the scallops and they were solid. I had a bite of the veal chop and would definitely order that next time. Baklava was amazing and the olive oil cake was light and perfectly sweet. I also tried both spritzes on the menu, I definitely preferred Beach Party over the Portuguese Spritz. read more

So went here tonight and sat at the bar the first bartender didn't even speak to us just out menus on the bar and walked away then the second bartender came over got us a drink and the ignored us the entire time so we just paid for our drink and left without eating and went some place else.

Came in for happy hour/early dinner and had one of our favorite meals of the trip! Started off with a round of drinks that were all delicious and then did a round of dips and a flat bread. All were so tasty, and our waiter brought us extra vegetables that were so good. We chose to split three entrees. All were delicious, but the veal chop was our favorite. Finished the night with three desserts that were all so great. Overall a beautiful restaurant with great food and AMAZING service. read more

I love the vibe at Del Mar Naples. Great music and the decor is classic and comfortable. I must say the service was a bit disappointing. The staff at the host desk were less than friendly. No smiles felt unwelcoming. We went upstairs and sat at the small bar. The bartenders did their job and nothing more. We enjoyed a couple of great spreads and delicious cocktails. The Hummus and the Roasted Pepper were rich and tasty. The pita bread was perfect. Paradise Paloma and the 5th Avenue Margarita were de-lish. The 5th Avenue scene is fun and Del Mar could be worth a 2nd visit. read more

Unfortunately we didn't have the best night. Or should I say the kitchen didn't have the best night. Service was fantastic but some of the dishes came up short. We started with the salmon crudo, which was very good. Then for dinner, I got the lobster spaghetti and my wife got the whole branzino. The branzino was okay but lacking a bit of flavor. The lobster spaghetti was missing everything. I thought maybe it was just me so I had my wife taste it without saying a word about it and she gave me a look and said "It doesn't taste like anything.". This dish has so many good reviews that I just have to assume someone in the kitchen had a bad night. For the second time in my life, I sent a dish back. The waiter was very understanding and asked me to choose anything else from the menu. I went safe and picked the filet mignon, which is pretty good at almost any place you go. The manager delivered the steak herself and apologized for the lobster dish being less than satisfactory. It also happened to be my wife's birthday so, between that and the issues, it wasn't much of a surprise, though very much appreciated, that they comp'd the dessert, which was an olive oil cake. Holy hell was that delicious! I wish I could say it made up for it but, man, I really wanted that lobster spaghetti to be good. We were visiting Naples but, fortunately for us, there's a Del Mar close to where we live, in Fort Lauderdale. So we'll be giving them another opportunity in the near future and hopefully that spaghetti is all it's said to be. Mistakes happen, but making it right is what really matters and Del Mar came through. read more

A Great time was had by my wife and I. Attention to detail by the server, Elle, was beyond expectations. Her love of the industry was apparent in her knowledge of ingredients and preparation. Hats off to Chef Rose as well. My wife enjoyed the veal chop with mushroom sauce...loved it. I had the Sea Bass, which was possibly the best I'd had. The dollop of fennel seasoned labneh and sauce with cherry tomatoes lit up the flavors. GF chocolate torte was awesome as well. Thanks for a great evening! read more

Had reservations for dinner night and when we arrived we were seated pretty quick on the 2nd floor in the booth. The vibes were awesome. Really good food and service was amazing.

My kids go yearly with and without us, although it's more expensive to go without us ha! Will always be a seasonal guest at Del Mar. read more

Del Mar means "of the sea" in SPANISH. So naturally that set my expectations to seafood in general, and Spain specifically. Spain has a ton of coastline from Barcelona to Bilbao, and amazing seafood the whole way, with famous items like Paella, prawns, calamari, razor clams and branzino. What Spain does not have is tandori lamb, which our waiter informed us is the best thing on the menu. Wife had it and loved it, although there were too many brussels sprouts and not enough apricots. I had red snapper, which theoretically should be fresh, since it is relatively local. The waiter said it was caught in the Gulf, 10 miles out from Naples but that is not true--too shallow there. Probably sourced from the Panhandle area, such as Destin. It tasted like it had been sitting a couple days--ok but definitely not great. Service was OK but our appetizer arrived too fast, just as drinks arrived. Then our dinner arrived when we were only half away through the appetizer. Very poorly paced. The ambiance is nice, contemporary and attractive. Pricing is high--a 9 ounce pour of the cheapest chardonnay was $19!! So idk, maybe these seem like small quibbles, but they annoyed me. If you are going to be this pretentious, go the extra mile and deliver. Either put paella on the menu or change the name of the restaurant. This menu is far more Eastern Mediterrean than Spanish. Istanbul meets Mumbai--name the restaurant accordingly. read more

I had the swordfish. It was very dry and a bit salty. The other dish was chicken. It was ok. Hummus and spicy feta were tasty although we only got 2 pieces of pita bread and had to ask for more. Cocktails were good. Paloma and spritzer were well made. Service was ok. Had to ask for the happy hour menu. Nice decor. Did not discount happy hour drinks and had to ask. Also, tip is based on the bill total. Taxes are not supposed to be included for tip purposes. read more

Absolutely delicious food served with proper respect and professionalism that can be, in fact our waitress, Marina, overheard me saying to Danny how I love to steal the black cherry out of his old fashion whisky on the rocks glass, and without notice when she brought our drinks she brought me a short glass with a couple of black cherries that they use for old fashion whisky drink, and kindly said "I overheard how much you like them, I thought you might like a few before order the food!" lol That was such a nice touch that really touched me with pleasure. We had tomato salad, baba ganush dip, lamb meatball in tomato sauce, beets salad and veal chop with prosciutto and roasted wild mushrooms. Everything was absolutely amazing. The ambiance was superbly entertaining yet very classy. Great experience all around! Yum read more

Great Dinner, Great Service! - - - - - - - - September, 2024 Visit We visited Marco Island for our 25th anniversary, per a recommendation from friends; we're glad we went... what a great trip. One evening we decided to explore a bit, and picked Naples... and drove there just as a big rainstorm soaked the town, which was ok. We did some sightseeing from inside the dry car and as the rain slowed, we found Del Mar, and it looked to be a good place... and it IS a good place... great staff, wonderful food! - - - They offered a special menu that night and we both ordered one of the three-course meals, and we shared. My wife ordered - Cauliflower, swordfish and Turkish chocolate mousse - the cauliflower was so flavorful - puréed pepper, chili oil, other spices - the swordfish marinated olives, pine nuts, confit potatoes, saffron tomato sauce I ordered - Tuna tartare, lobster spaghetti / gluten-free (GF) penne and Turkish chocolate mousse - Tuna tartare with za'atar... a new spice that tasted great... and the tuna was so nice - Lobster gf pasta was 1) GOOD gluten free pasta, 2) with great sauce, AND 3) the lobster pieces were BIG and tasty! The Turkish chocolate mousse, with whipped cream coffee crumbles - WONDERFUL! Ray was our waitress, who also is on a special diet and helped get us information about the pasta and more; she also shared a few stories that make us want to explore the Everglades a bit more on our next trip. Thank you, Ray and Del Mar, Naples! read more

Good morning! I want to say that the place is beautiful and the food was excellent, but I'm giving it 3 stars because the margaritas my husband and I had were the most expensive and the worst to drink, as the glass was very uncomfortable. read more

A stand out dining experience. It's not often I consider giving a restaurant a 5/5 rating, and in this case there wasn't a hesitation. Starting with the ambiance, Del Mar has multiple seating areas to accommodate a wide variety of dinner vibes. Downstairs is bumping - a great vibe for a group dinner/celebration or if you want to watch the game while eating world class food. The patio is great for people (and car) watching. Upstairs is quieter - albeit still lively near the bar. For an intimate dining experience, ask for a table on the balcony (where we sat). It also provides a great view over 5th ave. The service was impeccable. Plates were cleared and cutlery changed immediately after every course. Our waiter was extremely helpful and pleasant to talk to (cracked some jokes, but not TOO many jokes to make me look less funny in front of my fiancé). The timing of the courses was also spot on. Finally, the food was excellent. The menu was something out of a dream (disclaimer: I'm partial to Mediterranean food). We kept it on the lighter side, opting for two dips (tzatziki and loaded hummus), the mixed greens salad, tuna tartare, and lobster spaghetti. The dips were jaw-droppingly delicious. The hummus was served with a topping of braised lamb, and the topping alone was as good as any lamb I've ever had. The salad was as good as a salad can be (this was ordered by my fiancé, obviously). The tartare had a distinctly Mediterranean olive flavour and was, of course, delicious. The lobster spaghetti was chef's kiss. Finally, we rounded out the evening with a piece of olive oil cake served with fruit. Light, fluffy, delicious. Not pictured: several glasses of the Louis Jadot Chablis and Cambria Pinot Noir. All in all, 5 star experience. Later on, during our flight home, I stared catatonically out the window, on the verge of tears, as the realization set in that the dinner was over. Alternatively, it may have been the fact that I was leaving Naples and heading back to a Toronto winter. read more

If you're in Naples and haven't been to Del Mar, are you even living? From the moment we walked in with our 12-year-old, it was like they knew. The perfect table, the perfect service--this place is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. They made us feel so welcome, and trust me, making kids feel welcome at a nice spot is an art form. Bonus points for the big bar and lively atmosphere that made us feel like grown-ups again. Now the food? Let me tell you, it's a spiritual experience. Huge kudos to Jill, our server, who absolutely crushed it. She walked us through the menu like a culinary tour guide and nailed every recommendation: the snapper, sea bass, tuna tartare, and lamb meatballs. Every bite felt like a mic drop. Jill deserves a standing ovation--or at least a raise! Del Mar, you get it. You really get it. We'll be back, probably sooner than our wallets would like! read more

Finally found an amazing place for Brunch!!! First time dining at Del Mar today but it definitely won't be the last. The space is gorgeous. Love the lounge vibe on the first floor by the bar, the patio is great and the second floor is nice and inviting. The brunch menu is great! From salads and few delicious appetizers to traditional brunch dishes with a Del Mar twist - they've got you covered. We ordered Tuna crudo to start and then followed up with smoked salmon dish and shakahuka with lamb. Everything was phenomenal. We also had their brunch cocktails, the passion fruit spritz and cucumber refresher. Both were crisp and delicious. The service was impeccable as well. Lots of great suggestions and recommendations from our waiter. All in all, great dining experience. Loved everything about our brunch and can't wait to try their dinner menu. read more

I ordered the expensive Lobster spaghetti expecting something quite delicious. As you can see in the photo, it was very disappointing! The spaghetti seemed like it was cut into teeny tiny pieces, as if for a child. The "spicy " sauce was anything but that, it was a mid ragu. Not good at all. My mom ordered the Sea Bass which came with sliced tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a tomato broth! Not even a vegetable or a starch! The only good thing was the server and the delicious wine. At least we had a good laugh at my children's spaghetti read more

If you are on 5th Avenue in Naples, Florida, this Mediterranean restaurant is a must do dining experience. There is seating both inside and outdoors on a gorgeous patio.

I'm not really sure how Delmar does as well as it does. I want to start off with the grouper specifically. I have been so disappointed in my grouper experience here that I did due diligence and found that This establishment has been notoriously called out by media and news outlets for selling a very cheap white catch fish found in a very small triangle of the Bahamas , as expensive grouper. I have had to dine here several times for business and I have been sourly disappointed each and every time. This taste more like a franchise menu even though the atmosphere and pricing try to decieve you of this. I believe they are franchised with blue , and I have not had any experience as of yet that would reflect the pricing , or the wait times. read more

This place was sooo vibey. I would just get drinks and apps here! We also were on the balcony which was lovely. The dips were so good and everyone enjoyed their meal. Seabass- For the price of the fish I expected it to be a bit better, it was good but not to die for. It was a little dry. Other than that loved the dish and everything else! Next time I would maybe use this as a pre dinner place for drinks and apps! read more
