    NEVER AGAIN I went to Sails @sailsrestaurantnaples @sailsnaples expecting a refined, high-end dining experience and instead walked away with one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in Naples. For a restaurant that markets itself as premier and boasts a 5-star rating, this was deeply disappointing. When I arrived, there were only about five guests seated at a bar that holds roughly 30 - so the staff was far from overwhelmed. Despite this, the service was inattentive and unpolished from the start. My server Emery never introduced himself, nor did he ask my name. When I asked about their multi-course versus à la carte dining concept, he offered little explanation, forcing me to ask multiple follow-up questions that should have been part of a standard introduction. I ordered an Old Fashioned and specifically asked if it came with Luxardo cherries. I was told yes - but when the drink arrived, there were none. I had to point this out for it to be corrected. No placemat was provided, and the silverware was placed directly on the bar surface, which is far from sanitary. I had to request cocktail napkins just to rest my utensils on. When asking for recommendations and clarification on menu items, the interaction felt like pulling teeth. There was zero guidance or enthusiasm - something most servers on 5th Ave do well at. I eventually ordered the chicken, expecting something special for $42. What arrived was an ordinary chicken breast with half a wing attached, served with broccolini and a house-made chicken fennel sausage. Nothing memorable, unique, or remotely worthy of the price. No dessert was offered, no check-in on how the meal was, and no attempt to enhance the experience. I finally asked for the bill and was told that gratuity was automatically included. When I asked if it was 20%, the answer was yes - which felt very unusual for a solo diner, as this is typically reserved for larger parties. There was no thank you and no "hope to see you again." For a restaurant of this caliber and reputation, this experience was unacceptable. Sails has serious improvements to make in both service and execution. Disappointing from start to finish.

    Most wonderful dinner at Sails! First off, the service is above and beyond from every person who stopped by. We started with the tuna tartare - and let tell you this - this was so good we immediately ordered another one. Next up was wooded grilled octopus, this was so flavorful and delicious. We also had the linguini with clams and nori - this had more of a thai vibe than Italian and was so you unique and different -- a hit again at the table! We truly loved everything and wanted to have dessert but had no room. Loved sitting outside with some nice heaters on a still warmish night. This is a great spot for a celebration, a date night - the food is so fresh and seafood is brought in daily. Loved every minute!

    Exceptional dining experience at Sails Restaurant. Elegant atmosphere, impeccable service, and outstanding cuisine. Every detail feels refined and luxurious. Easily one of the finest restaurants in Naples.

    Last night at Sails Restaurant in Naples was nothing short of magical. As we celebrated our engagement, every detail was thoughtfully curated to make the evening unforgettable. The ambiance exuded elegance, and the cuisine was a symphony of flavors that delighted our senses. A highlight of the evening was when the owner, Veljko Pavicevic, personally greeted us and graciously served our dessert. His warmth and attention to detail made us feel truly cherished. It's evident that his passion for hospitality and excellence permeates every aspect of Sails. To Veljko, Michelle and the entire Sails team, thank you for making our special night even more memorable. Your dedication to creating extraordinary experiences is unparalleled. Sails has captured our hearts and will forever hold a special place in our story. -- And to our incredible server; Elcid, thank you for your attention to detail, spectacular service and kindness! We will see you soon!!

    This restaurant is fantastic at every turn. From the incredible service to the delicious food. We got the lobster ravioli and Dover Sole, both incredible but the stand out was the Sole. I've never had a better piece of fish. The desserts were amazing as well. I'm so glad we decided to dine here for my birthday celebration, and I can't wait to go back! Thank you Sails, you have earned a spot in my top 3 fav restaurants!!!

    This is the octopus.  Also delicious.

    It was truly an outstanding dinner. They welcomed my husband with a happy birthday greeting. They took our picture and brought us to the table. The server was excellent as was the manager who we asked about wines. They have a great selection of wines and drinks. The food was outstanding. We had the avocado pikitoe crab appetizer (OMG) . I has the octopus and my husband had the lobster ravioli with poached lobster on top. They were both wonderful. We were so thrilled to enjoy our special dinner.

    After an unfortunate incident with showing up to a reservation to another restaurant and it being closed, we decided upon Sails instead. We are from out of town (Cincinnati) and wanted one night of fantastic food and service, and they gave us just that. We tried to call to make a last minute reservation and they didn't answer... but they CALLED US BACK! What restaurants even do that?! I knew immediately we had made the right choice. They actually care about their patrons. It's one thing to have excellent food, but to go above and beyond in the service area is what sets them apart. We were sat at the gorgeous marble bar. Our server was no less than excellent. We started dinner with cocktails and the reposado espresso martini is easily in my top 5 of all time. All of our food was delicious and presented beautifully. Every dish was coursed out perfectly and served to us. The wine suggestion was on point. The fig liquor was the icing on the cake at the end of dinner with our chocolate soufflé. This restaurant deserves praise. Nowadays, if I'm going to spend $500 on dinner, this is exactly what I expect from the place I choose. We felt so welcomed and had the best time. Thanks so much for a fantastic evening and saving the night for us. We will ABSOLUTELY be back the next time we travel to Naples.

I parked near their walkway sign and once I ventured through, it's such a lovely walk up to the restaurant with a bridge over water with fountains and tons of blooms everywhere. Once inside, I was met with a bright, crisp dining room that was clean and comfortable. We started with cocktails and I got their version of a Manhattan, the hog-hattan. It's made with Whistlepig 6 year and came out on the rocks. Manhattans not served up are kinda a pet peeve of mine--but this one? Truly and honestly one of the best Manhattans of my life. The server did not steer me wrong. It was exquisite. For my dinner, my dining companion and I opted for a deal they had that allowed you a starter and main for a reasonable price. I got the kale salad for my starter which was bursting with flavor--chopped kale, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, chevre, and a bright citrus-y vinaigrette--what's not to love? For my main, I got their Mahi Mahi which was also perfectly executed. It was served over a bed of rice and asparagus with chopped mango and a sauce (not sure what kind but balanced the dish perfectly) on top. I would have a hard time not ordering this dish again. It was craveable. Our server was lovely and provided wonderful recommendations for both myself and my dining companion. No notes! Get to it!

I asked for her recommendations and I went with the hogfish sandwich. Luckily, she told me I could get it grilled and blackened instead of fried. I could tell they knew how to cook fish because it came out perfectly. Most would probably think it was undercooked, but that's how fish should be cooked.

    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.

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!
