Gumbo Limbo - Ketchup Soup Shrimp (Aka ceviche) not worth it - 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

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

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

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

We got work drinks here to kick off a conference, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The drinks were solid and not overly sweet despite being fruity! Service was fine. It was a pretty busy time when we were there on Sunday night. We didn't try any food but probably wouldn't come here for a meal, to be honest, it's well suited for cocktails and chatting. Busy, bustling environment right on the water. read more

Gumbo Limbo - Hard to beat this view - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

0 Stars - Gumbo Limbo, Naples FL Terrible experience. I was getting a table for my family and the waitress asked if I was 16 -- I said yes -- then she followed up with "Are you sure?" and started questioning how old my girlfriend was (she's 18). Completely out of line and disrespectful. Felt like we weren't even welcome. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Best beach venue in Naples with great food and drink. The Ritz Carlton experience enjoyable walking up from the beach, visiting, or staying at the hotel. read more

Gumbo Limbo - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

Great ambience. Food/drinks are a little pricey, but it's worth the view. Get there early if you don't want to wait long. We got there at noon and had to wait 45 min, but i heard the hostess tell people after it was a 2 hour wait. You could take a walk on the beach if you have a long wait read more

Long waiting time. Food was served medium warm. Way overpriced. Just not a place where I would return.

The setting is unmatched. 5 pm and the sun is low on the Gulf shimmering over the water. The music plays in the background and is not intrusive. Matthew came to find us at the bar to escort us to our shaded table. Aaron was our waiter, he was polite and attentive... he delivered flawless service you would expect at a Ritz Carlton resort. Atmosphere and service without question five out of five stars. Food was uninspired but fresh. We ordered the Sunday Savory Special. Tuna tostadas. Skip it. Flavorless yet fresh tuna with crispy slaw on a stale tostada. No zip or spunk in this dish. I gave my 2nd tostada to my husband who was happy to polish it off. Next up coconut shrimp. Perfectly fried but also flavorless. The dipping sauce needed spice. We ate them all. Chicken wings were our last attempt at food. The celery was crisp. The blue cheese dressing was pleasant and mild. The wings were in a nice tangy sauce and they were crisp on the outside and still juicy on the inside. Why do they serve the 'drumette' portion of the wing? I like the flat section too. On a sunny beautiful day, it is the best spot in Naples. Go for the great drinks and amazing service. Eat the food to prevent you from getting too tipsy not for the flavor. Next yp read more

Incredible views and beautiful ambiance simply because you have front seats to a gorgeous ocean sunset. Wow! Service is friendly - including the hosts and waiters who will snap pics of you and your group with the beautiful views behind you It was a bit chilly and they had heaters going which was very helpful My advice? Come here for drinks and at most a snack. Then eat elsewhere if you want better food. The menu is very standard, all American and not well executed at that (the lobster quesadilla was fine while the wings were quite breaded and dry). Worth it for the views to do a pre dinner drink and then move along after dark. Saw many groups and big families so seems they can handle groups very well read more

This place is located on the beach at the Ritz-Carlton. It's a great setting as you can see from the pics, especially if you're having dinner there during sunset. Currently, they have a very, very limited menu during Covid times. It's typically not an expansive menu anyway and although the options are limited there are still enough items to satisfy most palates. We began with the coconut shrimp appetizer, which was good but not worth the $20 it cost for 5 shrimp. We then both got their grouper sandwich. This was a fresh cut of grouper, nothing pre-made here, i'm guessing it was a 4 to 5 ounce portion and I got mine grilled and lightly blackened. It was very good, the mango slaw complemented it perfectly. Still, this sandwich alone was $32! Definitely, not worth the price. In the end, one shared appetizer, two grouper sandwiches (which come with a side) and one beer each brought a total bill with tax and tip to $126!! As I said earlier, the setting is fantastic and you've got to be OK with paying for the setting as part of your bill because the food certainly does not warrant the prices that they charge. For my money, there are much better dining options in the area also with great surroundings. read more

We have been here 3 times in 3 days. It could be the convience of staying at the ritz where it is located but it's likely because we enjoy the food and scenery so much! It's definitely overpriced and pricey for some things but again it's located at the ritz. The first time I was here I shared the chips, salsa, and quac. Very good flavor for all. I ordered the lobster quesadilla which was very good as well. The next day I got the fried chicken sandwich which I also enjoyed... they had a ton of pickles on it! So good. I got the side salad with ranch as my side. Their ranch is tasty if that's important to you! The last thing I ate was their gumbo salad. Very flavorful and crunchy mix! All of their drinks have been wonderful... the mojito probably my fave since they don't use simple syrup it's not so sweet which I like. The staff is very nice ... sometimes slow but they were busy! read more

This is a terrific beach bar with amazing service. About everything we had was enjoyable. Nice they have a service line at bar that makes grabbing a drink easy if you don't have a table. Get on list early for a table and enjoy one of the best sunsets you will ever see. This is one of the best beach bars you will ever go to. read more

This could be another day in paradise... My recommendation is to try to get this next corner before sunset, you'll definitely love it!   You'll experience very chill and relaxing vibes right next to the beach, where you can sit and enjoy the show that Mother Nature puts on for you, while you refresh yourself with a "man-made" drink! And just because it's so HOT a frozen drink goes very well with the whole package deal... trust me!   Attention is great, drinks are delicious, and if you get to walk along the beach before sunset, you'll have an amazing experience. What did I ordered this time?  A lobster quesadilla!  Yup you read right!... It was delish, and for a drink... an awesome Mango Margarita!   P.S. In one of the entrance of this corner, they have a bell which they ring at sunset!  It just makes the experience that much cooler... and try to ask for a good view; they'll definitely try to accommodate you read more

Met a lifelong friend for lunch here and I'm definitely glad she recommended it. It's behind the Ritz Carlton on the beach. I mean does it get any better. There are plenty of seats and tables with a view but get here early for best ones. The shrimp cocktail were plump and delicious. Robins crab cakes were fantastic. A great time at a fantastic place read more

Gumbo Limbo is back to being awesome! The grouper tacos are delicious: juicy and flavorful and the burgers are the best ever... we ordered three over the 4 days we were here! Also the pina coladas are better than anywhere else: heavenly pineapple rum smoothies. Oh and for some reason we had never tried their creme brûlée until this year. Wowza. Get.it! Yum yum yum!! read more

Gumbo Limbo - Grouper Sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

Awful management. Super rude to customers and also seemed like the wait staff was scared of them. Was pretty surprised to be treated that way given I was a hotel guest. For what you pay to stay at the Ritz, I would expect basic kindness at a minimum. (And to be fair, everyone else I encountered during my stay, including staff at the other restaurants, were lovely.) read more

Let's face the first fact - you are at the Ritz in Naples.... the food is going to be overpriced. But, the food was really good and the ambience can't be beat. Lots of beautiful beach views! I went two days in a row and had the grouper sandwich, which I thought was excellent. The fish dip was also good. If you are in the area, this is a good spot for a meal... or two! read more

One of my favorite places for lunch in Naples! Valet Park at the Ritz and it's free if you go to their restaurant. A beautiful setting, and our server was phenomenal! You can't feel anything but lucky to be in such a beautiful surrounding when you are here! The food is excellent. I ordered the Gumbo salad. Huge portions and beautiful presentation. Treat yourself! read more

Amazing. Best wings, ambiance... Breath taking sunsets! Great friendly service. Casual dining read more

Is $34 for grouper tacos or sandwich a bit pricey? Yes, probably so, but it's the Ritz - what do you expect? And they were quite tasty, after all. The views of Pelican Bay are incredible and the atmosphere is incredible upbeat and lively. The mango daiquiri, mudslides, and margs were all fastballs right in my beach vibe wheelhouse. Can't wait to get back. read more

Beautiful view but not great food / service. We got some appetisers to share which were quite good but none of us were impressed with our mains. I got the fish tacos and I had to put them together myself with minimal toppings which mean there was little flavour, and it cost $36. My friends got the chicken sandwich and they said it was dry and not tasty, we also got the regular burger and the bean burger and they didn't have complaints To share we got the shrimp and chips and dip which were good For what we got we just weren't impressed and the price point was too high. It also took us forever to order. read more

One of my favorite places to sit back, enjoy a cocktail with a great view. If you can, get a seat at the bar- they have the best views of the Gulf. The lunch options are a bit pricey, but you are at the Ritz. My go-to is the caesar salad with grilled shrimp...simple dish but the shrimp is prepared very well. The cocktails are very good, but my favorite is the Palermo. The lunch rush gets busy so if you are there during busy season and around Noon, you should expect to wait - but it's worth it! The bar stretches across and is parallel to the beach. The sunset from the bar can't be beat. At sunset, all the tiki torches light up which adds to the ambiance. It is part of the Ritz, but open to the public, with access from the beach. Definitely make time to stop there to witness the sunset! read more

Gumbo Limbo - The Palermo cocktail from the bar. Views can't be beat! - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

FANTASTIC! We went here for dinner tonight and we were so amazed by their menu! So delicious! The only thing I hated was that they charged a lot of extra money for protein in your salad? I understand like an extra $5 or $8 but this was like $20! I'm still rating this 5 stars because there are other things on the menu that are amazing and that are more affordable. The restaurant also has a great view of the sunset and the ocean and is perfect for shopping after at the Ritz Hotel. read more

Had a terrible experience with them last night. We arrived at 6.05 and was told the wait for our party of 8 would be about 45 minutes. No problem right, its a beautiful night. We grab some drinks from the bar and wait on the boardwalk in front of the hostess stand until about 50 minutes go by. Don't want to bother the hostess but figured I'd check up on progress. The condescending hostess in control of the process proceeds to claim we were called and didn't answer so they bumped us. I check my phone and have no missed calls or text messages from them and showed that to her. I then had her call me to see if she had the wrong number... what do you know, it works. So whats the remedy she comes up with... "well, we'll put you back on the list but there is another table in front of you now". Since I was there with family I didn't escalate things and accepted that it would likely be a few more minutes wait.... 45 minutes later the same hostess approaches us with an amazing offer to compensate us for the at this point 90 minutes of waiting... someone in our party, WOULD GET TO RING THE BELL!... no, the reward wasn't a table... but gosh, we get to ring the sunset bell. Sunset hits, one of the kids rings the bell, then we are told the table is almost ready, say no thanks and proceeded to the italian restaurant on property and had a great dinner. So, my message to anyone going to Gumbo Limbo... don't depend on the hostess call system to actually work. Hover by the hostess stand, remind them every 5 minutes that you are there, continuously ask them where you are in the wait process. Remind them again that you are there. Do not depend on them to work the system properly, or more importantly, to fix things when the mess it up. Ending with a positive note, the bartenders were awesome. Super friendly and great drinks. read more

It's fine. Definitely not a destination eatery. What I'm saying is, don't come for the food. If you happen to be on the beach, want a quick bite, and don't mind paying a premium for what I can only assume is the convenience factor, then by all means eat here. However, if you call on a Saturday to make reservations and they are all booked up, don't feel bad; you're not missing out in my opinion. Everything we ordered was fine, but just overall kind of bland. The jumbo wings...well they were definitely jumbo I'll give them that. But flavorful? No, that I can't say in good conscience. A little oily, a little spicy, lightly breaded. By the way, you CANNOT get them un-breaded which tells me one thing: they were breaded well in advance, otherwise if they were being made to order getting them un-breaded wouldn't be an issue. Also, are they served with blue cheese dressing? Ranch? The non-descript white liquid is so watery and flavorless it's impossible to tell. Also, there was a long hair in my celery. It happens, but generally when the food prep staff is not wearing hair nets. It's the little things that paint you the big-picture of a restaurant. My wife said the Cesar also had no flavor. And why can't we order from the beach? You can get drinks served to you at your chair but you gotta go stand at the bar to order food? Whatever. Like I said it's fine, honestly. O swear...it's fine. read more

As great a place for lunch as always, even with the new Ritz Carrollton rebutbishing which is beautiful! So hard to beat the view of the ocean along with ocean breezes. Sunshine, good service & fantastic food! read more

Read previous reviews mentioning them closing to guests not staying at the resort, so I called in advance to make sure it wasn't an issue. I was told it would be fine, so as we were passing through Naples we stopped for what we thought would be a great dinner on the beach and at the Ritz. Sadly, we arrived and were told at the gate Gumbo Limbo was closed to non-resort guests. At the host stand I explained the dilemma and was again told they can't help non-resort guests nonetheless. We then tried Nolita, another restaurant on site, but were told they too couldn't accommodate non-resort guests. The Ritz is feeling like a massive, overrun, understaffed, mess, which is sad considering everything the brand is meant to represent - luxury and unparalleled customer service. Such a shame. read more
