BEST BBQ IN SWFL!!! The servers, Jess and Chris, were very attentive and made us feel special. We went for my dad's birthday, and they made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. glasses were never empty, dirty plates were picked up quickly. it was phenomenal. They even brought us beignets for a happy birthday treat! The restaurant was quiet. It is definitely a hidden gem as it is unassuming in the strip mall plaza with the drive thru jimmy johns. 10/10 food. Next time, we will have to try the kangaroo! read more

I discovered Polish Monika in a magazine. I stopped by for a visit and had a Coors Light beer. She is the best bartender in the area! I like Polish women a lot! Ive gone in a number of times, obviously id prefer a 1 on 1 conversation with her, but when the bar is full if you want to talk to her, be prepared for a group therapy session. The ambiance does produce a soothing subdued feeling even without any booze in you. the bar is usually full during season, in the offseason i still would recommend having a Happy Hour which im a proponent and promoter of at every establishment. However i wanted to wait until i tried a food item on the menu before writing a biased favourable review for her, as tantalizing the kangaroo looked on the dinner menu, i decided to go for Tom's Turkey sandwich at lunch for $23. I am a sandwich person, i do make them everyday, going in on i thought it would be a typical elongated food chain sandwich, and for the price would be a second serving the following day. the menu said it came with a side but looking at the sides i assumed the price would be extra, i wanted the fries after seeing them but was out of a price range for me to add on. I elected to go with cole slaw which was subpar, it would be better if it was gotten from Publix and scooping it into the ramekin. I didnt like the Tom's Turkey sandwich after getting through it while it deconstructed, i didnt know what i was eating to tell you the truth with an extra spice to it. read more

1- the images you see make it look like a very mundane place - it is not 2- the bbq is quite delicious. 3- the wine and liquor choices are enormous and worthy of any great restaurant I have now given you 3 good reasons to go. Do it. read more

I would venture to say you cannot go wrong with any item on the menu. This Chef knows flavors. We started with the Kangaroo, yes you heard correctly. Kangaroo and it was delicious! We shared a Cuban Salad and then split the Swordfish. The combination of flavors and the risotto was amazing! Move this up on your list to enjoy in the near future. M&D read more

A+. Magnifique. Wunderbar. I'd give it triple 5's if I could. Friendly from the 2nd you walk in the door. Accommodating. Knowledgeable. A great staff defines your experience. I was out of vacation time and not even hungry but had to try out their beckoning menu. Went for the $28 duck appetizer. It blew me away, in taste, texture, balance, proper cook and blend of ingredients. Sadly it was so filling as a meal I could not order the dessert I'd wanted. I will be back. Preferably soon. Definitely worth your tastebuds & pocketbook. (FUSE BBQ closed and blended with FUSE Global, a good thing but makes that menu doubly hard to make selections!) read more

Wow.wow.wow! 2 of us arrived around 6:15 on a Friday night and although we had reservations there were a couple of seats at the bar so we ate there. SERVICE: Phenomenal. Monika is top notch. She handled the bar for the entire restaurant and still managed to make us feel like we were the only ones there. She has that rare combination of excellent customer service, wonderful personality, full knowledge of the menu and peripheral vision. Lots of little touches like ensuring she asked about each of the patrons, refolded napkins if a patron temporarily vacated their seat and even wiping my doggie box before she handed it back to me so I would not get sticky. FOOD: Fantastic. The Bacon wrapped date appetizer is a MUST! Sweet, salty, savory shareable goodness. The 1/2 rack of pork ribs were cooked perfectly, quality meat, excellent flavor. The Huckleberry catch (redfish that evening) is a generous portion, blackened, over a cauliflower type patty and tons of shiitake mushrooms. The huckleberry sauce makes the dish. The flavor combination is an edible work of art. BAR: As seen in other reviews, Monika knows her stuff! The cocktails are not only good size but are beautifully presented. A belvedere martini is $15.50. Rayburn chard is $12, average pour. Throughout our meal, there were usually 2-4 seats available. ATMOSPHERE: This seems to be a place where locals come and others learn by word of mouth. The clientele create a warm neighborhood vibe and the staff contribute to the friendly feel. It is well designed inside, a fun decor with class. I'd recommend reservations as although I did see a couple tables open from time to time, mostly it they were full. read more

My absolute FAVORITE restaurant in Naples! I first ate here in 2015, I found it on Yelp and it was close to my hotel. I travel to Naples for work and in 8 years I've never had a bad meal. Their Cuban salad is pleasantly different, it's a must try. They started doing BBQ a few years ago and they have the BEST brisket; it is so flavorful and melts in your mouth! Everything on their menu is delicious. The Bar, however is my favorite place to sit and dine. Monika is so friendly and a master mixologist. I just had her Chocolate Martini...so delightful and perfect for dessert! read more

Absolutely one of the best restaurants in SWFL. Food is SUPURB. Atmosphere is inviting, cozy, and welcoming. Lunch BBQ is well deserving of BEST BBQ IN SWFL. The hand crafted cocktails are deliciously unique and amazingly tasteful.... read more

Nothing is bad here, some things are just better than others. So much thought goes into everything that leaves the kitchen. The waitresses here are wonderful. Worth the price! Walnut Old Fashioned : 10/10 really good bartender who can pull off unconventional drinks well Dates(small plate): 9.5/10 bacon was a bit too fatty but this is delicious. Even my date (who doesn't like dates) enjoyed this. You get 3 servings of dates. Scallops & Pork Belly: 10/10 WOW! What an amazing dish! I never got bored eating this, it's so creative and unique. Served with black beans, feta cheese, plantains and guacamole. Each ingredient individually is made perfectly and together it's a wonderland of food. Pork Chop: 8/10 my date was not a fan of how the sweet potatoes interacted with the fruity sweetness of the pork chop. Aside from opinions of taste, it was cooked beautifully! Chocolate Ganache: 6/10 I can see how some people might be a fan of this but we were not. It's kind of hard to eat and it really pales in comparison to the other dessert we ordered. The presentation is cute but it's not easy to access. This would be better if: -the chocolate part wasn't so dry -no sliced almonds, it's bad texturally and adds nothing taste wise (maybe add almond extract to the whipped cream if this must include almonds) -make the cherry part less watery and was more sweet Bullet Bourbon Cake: 10/10 served at the perfect temperature, buttery warm ingredients, a bit heavy on the raisins but oh so decadent and delicious! Guaranteed winner read more

FIRST OFF The owner/wife Monika is absolutely a pleasure. I actually went in last night hoping she was at the bar.... And she told me after previous poor experiences, she and her husband decided SHE'D be the bartender..... Wise move IMO. I've eaten here twice now, and the food is absolutely amazing. Last night I simply wanted a double order of their pepperoni Mac n cheese to go. I was not looked down upon to simply order $10 if sides to go with my drinks. Everyone I've dealt with here has been VERY WELCOMING which keeps me coming back. read more

This is the best bar tender and the best chef in Naples. Try the Speak Easier or the White Cosmo cocktail. The food is as good as the drinks. read more

Excellent food and phenomenal service. Chris our waiter was awesome we will most definitely be coming back!

Best barbecue and Naples. Always a Seed available at the bar and with a great happy hour service, the smoke bourbon is MyMight go to drink.

Why have I given other restaurants 5 stars, when THIS restaurant is the actual definition of a 5-star review? When in Naples, you must eat here!!!! The value for your money is unheralded. Preamble: My girlfriend (a power-Yelper) called a day ahead and made reservations for three. She commented several times on her very pleasant experience with the woman on the phone. First Impressions: The restaurant is located in a nicely appointed strip mall. As soon as we walked in, Monica greeted us with a big smile and showed us to our table. The restaurant is a comfortable size and is tastefully decorated. We were there at 6:30 and had our choice of tables (not too crowded yet). We sat in a cozy niche by the front window. Appetizer & Drinks: While they have an extensive wine and beer list (including craft beers), we chose the mixed drinks. He ordered a Manhattan, which comes with a filthy black cherry and we girls ordered the Red Bottom, a very tasty gin drink with little strawberry "pearls" at the bottom. Yum. We were served very hot bread with an aromatic garlic and butter spread. Double Yum! While my friends are carnivores, I'm a pescatarian, so we ordered the Seafood Dip, which is a delicious blend of tuna, cobia, and scallops served with sliced baguette toast. What a nice combination of flavors! Dinner: He ordered the pan-seared scallops with mojo pork belly. I tasted the tomato-avocado-corn relish and the goat cheese plantains from his meal. Both were very good. She ordered the soft shell crab étouffée. She was warned that the heat would build as she ate it, and it did, but it didn't stop her from enjoying it immensely. I tasted the fried crab and it almost melted in my mouth. I ordered the pan-seared cobia. While the other two dishes were wonderful, mine was outstanding!! It was served on a bed of sautéed wild mushrooms with a wild huckleberry sauce and truffle drizzle, and topped with caramelized mascarpone. Truly one of the most delicious meals of my life! I told Nia that I'd like to marry the chef and she said his fiancé Monica may have an issue with that! So would my hubby, but (food) love conquers all! ;-) Dessert: Each of us ordered a different dessert. He ordered the avocado cheesecake with burnt chili caramel, she ordered the chocolate bacon brownie with sea salt caramel and vanilla ice cream, and I ordered the guava bread pudding with rum-butter glaze. All three were excellent, but once again, mine was the best. The chili caramel made the cheesecake and the brownie was good. Service: Monica and Nia were both outstanding. Nia knocked it out of the park with her descriptions of the menu. Always a smile on her face and a great sense of humor. Both ladies were the icing on the cake! We were escorted to the kitchen to meet Chef and thank him and his staff personally for our fantastic meal. Fuse Global Cuisine will be seeing me again as soon as possible!! read more

Wow! How is there not a line out the door of this place every night? I'm pretty sure there are not enough superlatives in the world to describe our amazing experience here. First, service was beyond excellent. Our waitress, Nia, knew the menu inside and out, and provided detailed explanations about food preparation and ingredients. Second, the food itself was five+ stars. We started with the fish spread made from a variety of smoked fish, served warm, with crunchy crostini. Delicious. For my meal I had soft shell crab étouffée. A lightly battered whole soft shell crab was nestled gently in the pool of étouffée. The crab was perfectly cooked - crunchy exterior, moist and sweet interior. The étouffée was medium spicy and very flavorful, with a good amount of sausage and a huge scoop of black rice. My table ordered one of each of the three desserts, and each one was spectacular in its own way. Bread pudding with guava was perfect. Avocado cheesecake was such an interesting combo of flavors, and the burnt chili caramel drizzle was perfect for it. Lastly, the bacon covered brownie with sea salt caramel was outstanding. While this was easily our most expensive meal in Naples (entrees are between $30-$50), I can 100% say it was worth it. I will be reminiscing about this meal for months, and dreaming of my next visit back. read more

I am very disappointed, this is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is exceptional however the service is lazy and don't help the owners by turning away business. This is not the first time this has happened and we have had it. Will never come back. Today we arrived to have a cocktail and dessert after we got done eating at Sails. We arrived at 6:45 and was greeted by a hostess who informed us that it was not possible to serve us because they were fully booked. ( at the time only half the tables had patrons) I then asked could we have dessert outside and she replied no WE ARE Fully booked it is not possible. The photo attached are the fully booked tables. read more

So... my wife has been wanting to come for a while now. Place was packed, but again, it's season. So we decided to eat at the bar, which is something we frequently enjoy doing. First thing...Monica the bartender is also the owner. Talk about attentive! And the drinks... well, fantastic doesn't begin to cover it. Both the Smokey Margherita and the Foamy one are fantastic. The mussel appetizer is great. What you would expect if you happen to be in the South of France. Fresh garlic, butter and white wine. Absolutely fantastic. The Tumeric rich Pakora was excellent with a foam/purée base. Never made it to an entree because the portions were so ample. Desert wise... go for the Bourbon cake! Homemade and just delicious. Definitely will be coming back again! read more

Wow, what a great meal. We are visiting and have gone here twice within a week's time. Both meals have been beyond amazing. Innovative dishes with big portions and lots of flavor. The variety and combinations are SO GOOD!! A must try. Also the drinks are very flavorful and creative too. read more

We had dined here once 6 months ago and had a chance to return. The waiter was friendly, but once we were served our drinks we didn't see him again for a full half hour. I had to ask another waiter to find him. One thing I can say is that the menu is ambitious, but the execution is something else. The salads, both, were drenched in dressing. The chopped salad...isn't. I had to twirl my drenched lettuce leaves around the fork to eat it. Do not order the eggplant rollatini. Unlike the usual, it is served ice cold on a hard slab of ...bread? not sure, couldn't cut it. Cold, eggplant that has not been fried...a battle with my fork until I retrieved a few shreds of the vegetable. The fries on two of the orders are substantial, albeit not particularly fried. The fish dip appetizer was "fishy." The brisket was mediocre. The chicken was dry. We all left over half of our meals and passed on dessert...and the restaurant is LOUD. Oh, the martini with dried pineapple garnish was delicious. read more

The bar is excellent with very nice and fancy specialty drinks/cocktails. Manager is very good, appetizers, which is what we tried were excellent. read more

As soon as we walked in the restaurant there was a weird smell to it. Our waitress took about 20 minutes to get to our table. She said "sorry for the wait we are so busy" the restaurant was more than half empty. We ordered a Cesar salad and most of the lettuce was brown. Then we ordered a brisket which was pretty good, perfectly smoked. After we had the steak poutine, I wasn't impressed by it, the texture of the fries were off and I'm not a fan of things on top of my steak, the loaded the steak with cheese. The waitress would never come check on the food, the steak needed salt but she never came to check on us. Would not go back. read more

Fuse Global was great choice for dinner during our recent stay in Naples to watch the CME LPGA finals. Everything was delicious and innovative. We had the coconut shrimp soup, redfish special, short ribs and bolognese. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with food and wine recommendations. The vibe was fun. We will definitely come back. I just noticed a 1 star rating which is completely unfair. The writer was upset because they arrived at 6:45 for dessert after eating elsewhere and were told they were fully booked. Which I'm sure they were. The place is small and would easily fill up at 7:00. Why would someone expect to be seated without a reservation and then give a 1 star rating . Restaurants live and die on reviews and have had an extremely difficult time during COVID . This husband and wife owned and run restaurants deserves better. If YOU posted this unfair review- please remove it. read more

After receiving the following email: "Former Angelina's Ristorante & Agave Southwestern Grill Executive Chef Greg Scarlatos is opening his own restaurant in the heart of Naples. Continuing his tradition of unparalleled flavor profiles, the menu is designed to excite the palate with the most delicious ingredients. Join us for the launch of FUSE Global Cuisine, as it becomes a Naples' treasure," we had to try it. We are huge fans of his former two restaurants. We dined out on their second night. The restaurant is beautiful. Much thought was put into the interior design which is modern classical. The wine list is simple and built for the masses. However, they developed an interesting and inviting drink menu. The background music, decor, menu and the congeniality of the staff make for an outstanding ambiance. We started off with an order of the marinated & fried artichokes with a housemaid remoulade sauce. They were fried crisp and the sauce was outstanding. However, the chili garlic hot wings with sesame and green onions were the highlight of the appetizer menu. Next time I dine, I need to have three orders for my entire meal. These braised pork foreshanks were worth the trip. The fried duck mac & cheese with smoked tomato aioli is a great dish to share, but having it alone could be a bit too heavy. The duck content was ample and it was very flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the ginger lime fried whole yellowtail snapper. The skin was beautifully caramelized. It sat on a bed of forbidden peas and rice which pulled the dish together. My wife loved the crispy Thai braised short ribs with grilled baby bok choy and marscapone bacon corn pudding and a coconut chili reduction. If drinking red wine, the short ribs are a must! We also tried the pan seared diver scallops with Mojo pork belly with black bean ragout, poblano nage, goat cheese plantain terrine and outrageous tomato avocado relish (guacamole). The chef's Bahamian upbringing bleeds through in this amazing dish. The dessert menu contains only four items. All of them are made on premise. We tried their amazing version of chocolate lava cake and the simple crème brûlée was perfectly executed. We didn't have room for the avocado cheesecake, but we now have something to look forward for our next visit! read more

This place deserves 10 stars. From plated perfectly kangaroo to deeply drizzled Octopus, I admit the bacon wrapped dates were my favorite, we tried just about everything on the menu. Everything was platted perfectly brought out by our server at the most perfect of times. I forgot what we were drinking because the food absolutely blows your mind. The restaurant needs to be notably placed in a better location as it has star qualities. It's stuck in the middle of a strip mall and by design these chefs and thus cuisine is finest dining and deserves a space to compliment its amazing palette. read more
