I can't believe it took me this long (33 yr. Living in Naples) to try this restaurant. I had used…read moretheir market in the past and always was Happy with any seafood I purchased. Finally tried their restaurant with 6 other ladies and it was marvelous. I had the swordfish which melted In your mouth. Another ordered salmon and I thought she might lick the plate. Several had the soup of the day and raved about it. One lady ordered oysters and thought she died and went to heaven. Sorry I had to look in another direction, I don't even like looking at them, But to each their own. Also heard raves about the lobster roll. Service was excellent, our waiter works winters here and the summers in Maine, So he knows his seafood. The decor is done very well, the bar is an old boat with the top half over the bar holding glasses and the bottom half the bar. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at Swan River and we will be back.

We ordered the mussels, grouper, shrimp and scallop caprese, and fish entrées. My family really…read moreenjoyed their meals, especially the salmon. The seafood was fresh and seasoned well. My grouper, however, didn't quite hit the mark. It was cooked well but pretty basic, and the presentation didn't showcase the quality of the fish - I give it a 3. I also wish the mussels came with bread to soak up the delicious broth. Service was friendly, though lunch took a little longer than expected. We also noticed another customer dining indoors with a dog. It wasn't disruptive, just a little unexpected. I still love Swan River's seafood market and genuinely want the restaurant to be just as memorable. The quality is there, I think a few thoughtful touches would make a big difference.

We decided to go with the shrimp cocktail and mahi tacos on corn tortillas. There are also plenty of gluten free options which is nice. Lots of restaurants only have flour tortillas so it was nice having options. We split both items as we were looking for a little afternoon snack. I also had an Arnold Palmer surfside. My new fav vacay alcoholic beverage. This place is lively and lots of TVs to keep up with your fav sport team. It's also a Seminole bar (go gators). I won't hold it against them. Lol. Also a huge wrap around bar and even outdoor seating if that's your preference.

Very interesting and diverse menu selections. It spans the…read moreentire food spectrum of Southwest Florida. Grouper, Oysters, Lobster Rolls, Italian Beef, Smash Burgers, crab louie. I was going to order the calamari and 6 oysters. Putting north of $30 for supper. One of the people in the party ordered a smash burger, and I thought, what the heck, I'll order that. Pretty good burger. For those who like to drink under a thatched roof outside, there is a tikki hut. The establishment's motif is all over the map. But let's just stay with the island theme in Naples, FL. Would I go back again? I don't know, I have had this book marked, and I have eaten at another of their establishments, Sonny's. They do not have the same menu. I like that.

Everything on my plate was superb. The part that impressed me the most was that it was not greasy at all. The seafood was fresh & delicious. My friend said that hers was equally as good.

We ended up just grabbing a drink and leaving since we thought that was a little rude. I don't remember what the drink was called since they don't have an online menu for drinks but it was just okay. It was at least presented nicely. The view is just about the only good thing here.

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.

We had dinner on Sunday, 2-27-26. I ordered Sea Bass, AKA Chilean Sea Bass and Patagonian…read moreToothfish. I've cooked Sea Bass dozens of times, and I've eaten it in restaurants many times. 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.

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

How fortunate for us that we enjoyed our delicious selections. Their menu is varied and easy on the wallet. We ordered the I had ordered their Hot & Crunchy Grouper pricing at $19.95. The grouper "balls" were deep fried (not oily) and hot and crunchy with pineapple slaw, candied sesame pecans, steamed rice and creamy-mango sauce (can't wait to go back for lunch and order this dish again). My hubby ordered Nemo's Snapper Fish Tacos (2) priced at $18.95 and served with Caribbean rice, warm tortilla (Wheat or Corn) green cabbage, lime, queso fresco cheese, pickled onion condiments selection and creamy apple salad. His meal was outstanding. Highly recommend for a unique place for lunch.

First and last time. I should have known better--the place was completely empty…read more The menu was extremely limited, featuring a bizarre assortment of Asian seafood. I ordered their so-called specialty: the Nemo's Ultimate Miso Sea Bass--advertised as a "legendary signature dish served with a citrus-ginger butter sauce and asparagus." It arrived at my table practically frozen. After sending it back, I ordered the ginger steamed snapper, which was completely flavorless and tasted like cardboard. The only saving grace of the entire night was the service and the wine (a Txomin from the Basque Country). Save your time and money. Do not eat here.

Our waitress, Jamie, was absolutely outstanding! She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to sit at Jamie's table, I highly recommend it! I ordered the salmon, which was delicious. My husband had the yellowtail snapper, and he said it was the best fish meal he has had in Naples--and that says a lot because we have been dining at restaurants throughout Naples for many years! Our mothers had the crab cakes, and one of them actually ate the entire dinner--which is SO unusual! She clearly loved them. The other enjoyed the stuffed shrimp and had nothing but good things to say. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday: great food, wonderful company, and excellent service. Thank you, Mr. Big Fish, for helping make my birthday special--and Jamie, you were a star!
