Loved this place! You don't have to be a guest at the Ritz to eat here. We walked in on a Saturday night and the wait was about 40 minutes, which was no problem at all. You can grab a drink and head down to the beach while you wait. The view is absolutely gorgeous and it is easily one of the best places in Naples to watch the sunset while you eat. As for the food, the portions are great for sharing. We tried the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the wings were a surprising hit. The skirt steak was also cooked to perfection, super tender and flavorful. read more

I visited Gumbo Limbo at the Ritz-Carlton Naples expecting a more relaxed resort experience similar to other Ritz properties I've stayed at. Unfortunately the atmosphere felt very crowded and chaotic, especially around sunset. There was very limited seating, many people were standing with drinks, and service felt overwhelmed. My drink also tasted quite artificial and not what I would expect from a luxury resort bar. The setting on the beach is beautiful, but the overall experience felt more like a busy beach shack than the calm, polished environment I associate with the Ritz-Carlton brand. This may be a fun spot for a casual sunset drink, but if you're expecting a quieter, more refined Ritz-style experience you may be disappointed. read more

The view here is absolutely beautiful and the customer service was insanely good. The space is a little tight, but honestly that's understandable given the location. It doesn't take away from the experience at all. If anything, it just shows how popular the place is. I do think a couple more bathrooms would help, but again, I get that space is limited. Our server was amazing. Even though the place was very busy, he was quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, which made the experience even better. The food was great too. The burger was delicious, the salad was fresh and perfectly done, and the steak was flavorful and grilled just right. Overall, an amazing experience... easy five stars. read more

Great place to see the sunset. The food is decent for a beach bar, granted it is a Ritz Carlton beach bar. The service is efficient and the atmosphere wonderful. We saw a wedding at the beach when we were there. Plan to have a wait, since there are no reservations. Sunset hours are very busy. read more

I fell in love with the Four Seasons... I research. I bookmark. I then thibk about places that stand out. I visit and then some places just stick with me. Gumbo Limbo is a memorable place. First and foremost the Four Seasons Naples is beautiful!! The grounds make you feel like you are in Hawaii. To get to Gumbo Limbo you do get to walk through the hotel and get an opportunity to really take it in. Gumbo Limbo is an upscale tiki restaurant on the water. Think full ocean view. Little sharks jumping at dusk. People walking at sunset along the beach and then when it got dark the tiki torches were lit. Stunning view. The service was top notch. Metal water cups? Fancy (you can take them home and i did!) Keeps the water colder longer. A basic menu but absolutely no complaints. The vibe is chill. I would HIGHLY suggest visiting for the view but take the tine to fall in love with the Four Seasons (my friends even said the place smelt amazing!) read more

Yummy!!! Everyone was so nice. Service was great. Very cute. Love that it was on the beach. Everything we eat was delicious!!! The only thing I would change is the fish sandwich have some sauce with it because it was a little dry and also cut up the fish for the taco They just give you a big piece of fish with a tortilla shell. I'll definitely come back!' read more

Overall, I would say the food is decent. We had chips, salsa and guacamole, and the salsa was definitely very tomato heavy. My Fiancé got the grouper sandwich which he said was good but definitely not the best that he had. The bread was cooked well and had a nice toast to it. The service was good for sure, but the wait was definitely longer than they quoted us so just keep that in mind you may have to wait longer than you're told. I would say the main reason to come here would be the sunset with a cocktail. The cocktails were definitely very good and the view was absolutely amazing. read more

A beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset, drink I. Hand looking out at the waves crashing on the beach ! We both got the grouper sandwich with fries. *ask for no salt when you order because I had to wipe off every single French fry before I ate it. They were SO SALTY ! The grouper sandwich was good. It comes with banana pepper " slaw " which there was no slaw at all. It's just banana peppers and some green peppers. I don't care for either , so I took those off. I asked for a side of their tartar sauce because the sandwich was a little dry. There's tartar sauce is delicious. If I find myself back here again, I would get the grouper sandwich with just lettuce and tomato and tartar sauce. It's a casual beautiful spot if you want to be outside with an ocean view. read more

Even though it was a cool day, for Florida-(62) It was a beautiful place to have lunch. Gorgeous view of the beach and the Gulf-they had heaters set up all over the restaurant, so it was very comfortable. I had the grouper sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever had. My friend had a salmon bowl which she loved. Delicious cocktails- server was great. We will be back. read more

Nice spot, food is tasty but a little expensive but what can you say we're at the Ritz! Service is SO friendly that was awesome. The real perk of this spot is the outdoor seatinf which is perfect for catching the sunset! Loved it. read more

The food and drinks and gumbo limbo are great! One of the best pina coladas I've ever had! Tasted real and not like all the artificial slushie crap. They have recyclable tin cups so you can order and bring drinks down on the beach. The boxes for the food are also compostable too! We brought our food and drinks to beach. The salmon blt was very tasty, the piece of salmon was very big! The side salad was super fresh and plentiful. The Caesar salad has a delicious dressing that tastes homemade! It also has sundried tomatoes in it and really tasty croutons with shredded cheese. They also have a kids menu which is convenient. Prices are a bit high but that's to be expected at the Ritz and on the beach. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Definitely will be back when visiting Vanderbilt Beach! read more

We had a great time. They do not accept reservations, but the wait was not long , like 10 minutes and we were seated at a high top corner table. We had grouper sandwiches and drinks.

Gumbo Limbo - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

We wanted water view dining but not too fancy for ourselves and our two children. Gumbo Limbo, while one of the Ritz Carlton's restaurants, is the least formal of them and situated on the beach. A perk is free valet parking for anyone going to a restaurant. We were pleased to see that Gumbo Limbo had an unadvertised children's menu, a big plus. We walked the long way around the outside of the Ritz, enjoying the beautiful views, inside and out, and crossed the boardwalk to find the restaurant. They were going to give us a table with a perfect water view but very sunny so we opted for a table that was more in the shade. Everyone enjoyed their food. My husband said the flavors of his shrimp curry were great but the portion was very small. My son loved the chips and salsa, and my daughter and I had delicious, good sized salads. We highly recommend Gumbo Limbo. read more

What a cute beach restaurant and bar! Service was great and food awesome especially for a beach bar. Prices are normal for the Naples area. Will totally be back here! read more

A few things. Enjoyed the food very much and the unbelievable view. Posted pix and video. Server was half asleep. Had to remind him 2 times at least for another beverage. Nice kid but asleep yesterday! Most important, get your receipt validated or bring your receipt to the valet for free parking. If you forget, it'll be $25. And online it says reservations. The hotel told me no reservations, soo when there at noon, hardly anyone was there and the female manager (?) was NASTY. Major attitude. 95% of the tables for us four were vacant and she gave us a hard time about reservations. Explained to her what I was told. Please stay on top of this. Explain what client service is and that you could lose a lot of customers that . Otherwise, we did enjoy the food and VIEW! We'll be back of course. read more

You cannot ask for a more picturesque place to enjoy good friends, good food and good service. The skirt steak was delicious, and the yucca fries were a nice complement to it.

Gumbo Limbo - The view of the Gulf from Gumbo Limbo - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

Food so good we ate there twice in a day!! We were at the beach and the cabana rental spot recommended Gumbo limbo. We ordered lunch and drinks to go enjoy in our beach chairs. The Gumbo burger and the fried fish bites were FANTASTIC! The drinks were great too! We decided to go back for dinner and the sunset view was stunning!!!! Laid back/casual feel which was perfect for us as we have children under 4 years of age. We ordered the skirt steak, curry shrimp, wings, and a few drinks. All outstanding. Staff was friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is that I wish it was easier to access without having to treck through the hotel, or the sand. It was inconvenient with a stroller and a baby, but worth the trouble. We'll be back' read more

Gumbo Limbo is a great beach spot especially if your already staying at the Ritz. It is soooo filling I basically had to roll myself out lol! The service is great everyone's always very friendly and quick. The ambiance is very nice at sunset if you can get a spot as it's right on the beach! A little pricey for the style of food but the portions and beach make up for it. Our server John was super attentive and great! read more

They don't take reservations, but we went anyway, Had to wait over 2 hours. Their on line menu had a sea bass dish that I really wanted to try. Menu didn't have it, and they said on line menu was old. Why not fix it???? Their menu has VERY limited choices: apps, small dishes, and entrees. we will never go again. And it is very expensive!!! Do yourself a favor and go someplace else. read more

Beautiful beachside views, great service and good food. Gumbo Limbo is the Ritz Carlton's beachside bar, built on the boardwalk overlooking the beach. While it's the Ritz, the beach bar has a casual and comfortable atmosphere. A place where you can relax, enjoy the view with some drinks and friends. We got there later in the day so we could watch the sunset. Sunny at first, not that busy, but got a lot busier as we got closer to sunset. We had some drinks, started with their chips and salsa app, then later had the burger and the crab cakes for dinner... all were very good. The Ritz has valet parking, which is free with a minimum $25 spend at the resort. read more

Fantastic place, epitome of beachside dining. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant on the Ritz's private property on the beach (it's built on a boardwalk overlooking the beach, with a nice patch of sea grapes and sea grass mangrove below). The menu was great and we tried a variety of menu items, all of which we loved; Wings , Lobster Quesadilla, Blackened Grouper Tacos, and a Miami Vice to drink. Our waitress (Alex) was great, very helpful, very chill, very attentive, and fun as well. read more

This was a fabulous place to grab lunch! We came in around 2 pm and were originally quoted around a 30 minute wait but it ended up only taking 10 minutes. We were able to get a drink from the bar while we waited too which was great. All the food was delicious and the piece of salmon in the BLT was giant and perfectly cooked. The key lime pie was also one of the best key lime pies I've ever had. The drinks were pretty good and the service was great as well! Would highly recommend and will be back. read more

Great evening with friends! It was an extremely busy evening, but we understood the slower service levels, given the number of people at tables. Our waiter steered me away from my original entree choice, which was sincerely appreciated!!! read more

Pros - beautiful location on the beach. We went on a Wednesday around 5:15 pm and got seated around 5:45 or 6, in time to watch the sunset over the ocean from our seats. While we were waiting, grabbed drinks and stood on the boardwalk chatting and watching the beginning of the sunset. The food was good - the chips and salsa/guac are very good and the pork and grouper tacos were both good as well. Drinks definitely were generous with the booze and were well poured - we had a mojito, piña colada, and old fashioned between us as well as draft beer and all were good. Cons - expensive. You're paying for the location and the view and probably the association with the Ritz. The food was good but there aren't chips and salsa/guac in the world worth $16. As long as you're okay with accepting the price tag, it truly was a lovely evening of food and drink on the beach read more

recently ate here during my stay at the ritz carlton in naples. I had to wait to get a seat at gumbo limbo but once i did the food was great. The service was very fast. It is right on the beach viewing the ocean. The ambiance is lively and enjoyable. It's the perfect quick eat when relaxing on the beach or by the pool. read more
