    Lovely restaurant in north Naples, tasty appetizers, salads were HUGE had enough for two days, good value. The cornbread croutons were amazing, nice touch. A friend ordered the mac and cheese side and that was probably the best mac of my life. Service was a bit slow so would give 4.5 stars

    Mocktail
    Kitty A.

    Me and a few friends are attending a conference in the area and we decided to go to J. Alexander's yesterday because one of the ladies said the food was delicious. When we arrived, the hostess was there with a smile and some conversation. She was a mature woman with a big personality and the plus was that we went back today and she remembered us. We were quickly seated both days. Yesterday server was nice. I would give her a 7/10. Today our server was Brandon and this guy did his thang. He was personable, he was friendly, he was knowledgeable, he was accommodating. Customer service at its best! The restroom is clean and has a nice modern design. The restaurant itself has a high-end look, the decor is beautiful and I love the seating arrangement. The food is amazing and the portions are not shy. Everything was seasoned just right. The mac and cheese was scrumptious and I never order Mac and cheese when I'm out, but this had gouda cheese and I was intrigued. I had the emerald shrimp the first day and the cilantro shrimp today and both were delectable. Everyone enjoyed their food I did order a mocktail (I don't drink alcohol) and it refreshing. I was satisfied We also had appetizers that was, as the young people say...kitty Definitely a place to visit, you won't be disappointed.

    Steak and Baked Potato
    Alan B.

    Still one of my favorite spots in town for a great meal and friendly staff. This place is SO consistently tasty! I'm turning into a regular quickly! Try the steak and fries (I sometimes sub out for a baked potato). The quality of beef is exceptional, and it's always prepared exactly to the temperature I ask.

    Porkchop

    My boyfriend and I go here all the time. The service and food are always top notch! The porkchop is my favorite dish!

The restaurant…read morehas a cozy atmosphere, and it was fun watching the chef grilling over charcoal in the back. Our party of six was seated promptly. The menu offered plenty of choices, so it took us a while to decide. We ordered a full rack of ribs, Florida Cobb salad, bone-in pork chop, grilled fish special, and other entrées. Each meal came with sides such as smashed sweet potatoes, crock pot beans, and steamed broccoli. The portions were generous, and everything was flavorful. The only disappointment was with my bone-in pork chop. Somehow, my order never made it to the kitchen. Once the mistake was discovered, the kitchen prepared it quickly, and it arrived exactly five minutes later. Unfortunately, it was raw in the center. I was told that the pork chop is normally served slightly pink, but this was clearly undercooked. I wish I had taken a photo. The kitchen promptly took it back and returned it properly cooked. Despite this mishap, the staff handled the situation professionally, and the overall service was good. The food was delicious, the portions were excellent, and I would consider returning, hoping this was just an isolated kitchen error.

Passed by a burger place, ice cream shop and others arriving at Bicyclette. Receptionist greeted me warmly as I entered and asked if I could have a meal at the bar - no problem. Sat down and (on a Monday at 5:15 no less) had a delicious meal served by Adolfo who was attentive but not pushy. I tried their prix fixe menu - enjoying the eggplant dip with artichoke tostones ( I kid you not ) followed by a branzino grilled well with the most delicious yellow sauce both full of flavor and a hit of tartness. Okay, so, I'm done...well, don't forget dessert chimes in Adolfo; and, I relent. They make their own vanilla ice cream then sprinkle it with some herb, sea salt and....wait for it...Olive Oil. I won't say I liked it but I almost had to smoke a cigarrette after tasting it. The dessert, by the way, was served by the owner Louie who was rightfully quite proud of his recent Michelin Star rating ( "the only one in Naples" ). Upon back at the hotel I made mention to two guests who were just arriving as I'm now a Bicylette evangelist. Try it - I think you'll definitely love it.

The service was friendly throughout the meal, but everything moved surprisingly slowly, from ordering to receiving the food. We tried the salad, burger, and lamb kebabs. The salad and burger were decent but nothing particularly memorable. The lamb kebabs were unfortunately the biggest disappointment of the meal. They were quite salty and the meat was much tougher than expected, making them difficult to enjoy. Overall, the restaurant makes a good first impression with its ambiance and welcoming service, but the food did not quite match the setting. While the experience wasn't terrible, I'm not sure there was enough to make me eager for a second visit.

Although he has been a Florida resident for decades he has never heard or been to this restaurant venue. The place was filled with people and the place was loud , huh ? What'd you say , lol. I showed him around pointing out all of the little food venues where you could grab a Taco or snack. We viewed all of the produce and various products for sale in the stores and food stands within the grand venue where food is sold from Seed ( farm ) to Table. There is a huge Wine section where wine from all over the world is for sale. There is a Bakery , Candy , grocery store. You name it , this place has it. My friend was impressed at the size of the place and that there are restaurants, stores , and even a Stage where a Band plays music on weekends and is open until 2:00 a. m. After a walk around tour of the place we went to the second floor restaurant section to grab some dinner. We both ordered the Smash Burger with fries. We were both sated when we left the premises. The Smash Burger is HUGE ! But wait , the boyz in the Band were just showing up, getting ready to take the stage and play some music. People downstairs were already dancing in the aile to the music blaring from surrounding speakers. Nevertheless, it was time for us to go ... getting dark soon. And everyone knows what happens after dark ... Ciao Ciao for now ... gotta go , bye. And Good Night my Darling , whoever and wherever you are , lol.

While we enjoyed…read morethe food and the beautiful sunset view, our experience has been overshadowed by the sheer number of bites we received while dining outside. We left with what appears to be numerous sand flea bites covering our feet, legs, and arms. I personally have well over 100 bites, and the discomfort has continued to make the past several days of our vacation miserable. We were actively slapping and killing the fleas while sitting at the restaurant, and other guests around us were also commenting on them. I understand that I'm visiting from out of town and may not have known what to expect from dining directly on the sand. However, I have a serious concern with Turtle Club actively promoting the experience of "digging your feet in the sand" without clearly warning guests about the potential for sand fleas or explaining whether the area is regularly treated or maintained to prevent this issue. Is this something Turtle Club routinely experiences? Are the outdoor dining areas treated for insects? If this is a known issue, guests deserve to be made aware before choosing to dine outside. Unfortunately, as much as we enjoyed the food and sunset, the outdoor dining experience was simply not worth the consequences we've dealt with afterward. For future guests: bring bug spray and be prepared, or consider sitting inside. I wish we had known before choosing the outdoor experience. Turtle Club, I hope you take this feedback seriously and consider doing more to protect and properly inform your guests.

Fast forward a year later and our dining group meets there again. This time I arrive early and go straight to the bar so that I can verify the happy hour policy. The bartender confirms that martinis are not on happy hour then explains that the additional surcharge is because a Cosmo has a splash of cranberry juice, so it's martini price plus. Never heard this before. I cheaped out and ordered a house pinot grigio. Regarding food, the visit a year ago was profoundly disappointing. That entree was described as pasta with a lobster tail. I expected to see a lobster tail but there were just a couple of very tiny pieces of supposed lobster tail that must have come from a just hatched lobster. Thankfully, the food served a few days ago was much better. The American Redfish entree was good enough to order again, if I were ever to go back.

Naturally smoked turkey with brie, pesto mayo, and tomato jam on gluten free bread, served with a fresh Caesar salad. Pretty good sandwich. The turkey was flavorful, the bread held up nicely, and the salad was crisp with a good coating of parmesan. Decent value for what you get. My wife ordered the fish tacos, which came with a side salad topped with blue cheese crumbles and red onion. The presentation looked great with nice char on the fish, fresh pico, and shredded cabbage piled high. But the execution fell short. The fish itself was chewy and not very tender. That's a problem when fish tacos are one of your popular dishes. On the bright side, our waitress was nice and attentive. No complaints on the service front. The cozy atmosphere lives up to the farm to table vibe they're going for. The Verdict: The Local delivers a decent lunch with good service and fresh ingredients. My smoked turkey sandwich hit the spot, but those fish tacos need work. Four stars for a solid overall experience, but maybe skip the tacos next time.
