The Merchant Room quickly became one of our favorite dining experiences during our stay at Naples…read moreBeach Club, and we ended up visiting multiple times throughout our trip.
One of the biggest surprises was the breakfast buffet, which became an unexpected highlight of our vacation. The selection was outstanding, with endless pastries, fresh fruit, juices, yogurt parfaits, bagels, breads, cheeses, and more. It felt elevated without being overwhelming, and everything was fresh and beautifully presented.
We also added eggs to our breakfast each morning, which were served with a crispy rösti cake, roasted tomato, and bacon. On our second visit, I tried the egg white frittata, which was also very good. The breakfast experience alone is worth a visit.
Dinner was equally impressive. My husband enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and chicken entrée during one visit and joined me in ordering the cavatelli on our second visit after seeing how much I loved it the first time. The cavatelli ended up being my favorite dish of the entire trip and one I would happily order again. Our son thoroughly enjoyed the tenderloin as well.
For appetizers, I tried both the artichokes and the haricots verts with almonds. While both were excellent, the haricots verts were absolutely my favorite and are something I'll remember long after the trip.
The complimentary bread service with rosemary and salt was delicious and the perfect way to begin the meal. I also enjoyed the Flowers Chardonnay and an excellent espresso martini during dinner.
For dessert, we each ordered the lava cake, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
What truly set The Merchant Room apart, however, was the service. Dennis was exceptional. Not only did he provide outstanding hospitality while we were dining, but he also warmly greeted us whenever we crossed paths elsewhere around the resort. His friendliness, professionalism, and genuine kindness made a lasting impression.
Between the outstanding food, excellent breakfast buffet, attentive service, and welcoming atmosphere, The Merchant Room became one of our favorite parts of our stay. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning on our next visit to Naples.
