M Waterfront Grille

Ordered the shrimp and crab spring rolls, lobster salad and lobster roll. Guess you could say my husband and I enjoy lobster.
All were excellent. Service was fantastic and very helpful with our little girl.
My only negative was the prices which were a little high especially with ordering off the lounge menu.

My bf and I came here while on vacation in Florida during a tropical storm (rude). As we were not going to be able to eat outside, we wanted somewhere inside that was still close to the water. M Waterfront Grille was perfect for this. We were right at the window and could look out at the water and pretty houses.
He had a mojito and I had the peach sangria. Both had good flavor, but weren’t amazing. We both got the lunch American bento boxes. Both of us had the clam chowder which was delicious. I am from CT and have strong feelings about clam chowder and I was pleasantly surprised. It was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while. I had a half of the grilled cheese with apples, Brie and fontina. It was creamy and yummy. My bf had the tuna salad which he said was very good. The bento boxes also came with a side salad and a good deal of fresh fruit. We really got quite a lot of food.
The atmosphere was very pleasant and upscale and the service was attentive without being intrusive. We would definitely return.

This is by far my favorite spot in Naples for a luxurious brunch. The service is always superb and no matter whether you order the quiche Lorraine or the French toast, the food is impeccable! Highly recommend.

Came here for the view, stayed for the food. After planning to only have drinks and a small appetizer here, we couldn’t help but stay after we had a taste of the drinks, the food, and the service.
Two things off the menu had us hooked right from the start: the heirloom beet tartar and the shrimp/​crab spring rolls. The heirloom beet tartar was plated beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. Candied beets, pistachio vinaigrette, and FRIED goat cheese? Too good.
The shrimp & crab spring rolls had ample filling and were crispy perfection. The Sriracha aioli that went with them gave a nice complementary kick.
After we decided to stay for dinner, we were seated right away. I opted for the Hawaiian yellowfin ahi tuna. It was perfectly cooked rare to my liking. It was filling and ate more like a steak than fish. The lobster & cashew fried rice that came with it also hit the spot. It was unmatched as was the quick and attentive service we received. M Waterfront Grille is more than worth your Saturday night dinner reservation.

We were a little late in the game when it came to booking table for New Years Eve but we managed to get a table for 9 at M Waterfront Grille, although on the «front». (or back, what is front or back anyways?).
We were under the impression that our meal would be at a pre-​determined rate, but since our reservation was early and the pre-​determined rate hadn’t started we could order as we wanted from the menu and counted that even if we would get the three most expensive items it would not count up to the pre-​determined rate. Awesome!
The food was all good. Very good. The pizza my daughter had made me want to come back another day for a pizza. But the food for the NYE was all very good, from the appetizer to the dessert.
The servers were all very nice and informative. The table was cleared off in like a second which was impressive. They were also very accommodating when it came to us asking for a small plate of purée for the youngest.
I would like to come here again but the truth is that I probably never will. Because I probably will never come to Naples again *sad face*.

This is an incredible restaurant at Venetian Village. I went there for my birthday and had an amazing meal. The waitress, Jeannie from Wisconsin) was super friendly and accommodating. She made a great suggestion of steak-​frite which I’m still thinking about!
Check this place out!

My husband took me here last night for my birthday. Although we wanted to sit outside, it started to drizzle. We sat inside and it was just as romantic. The overall service including our waitress, Jordan, was a great experience. Nit to mention the food was absolutely delicious. Worth every penny for some fine dining.

Met some friends here on our first trip to Naples. What a beautiful setting. We were early and had a glass of wine at the bar before the friends arrived. Nice setting, also. Very friendly and efficient bar tended. The lunch was truly excellent. My wife was really in the mood for Grouper since it isn’t much available to us in Minnesota or Arizona. She found the Grouper sandwich which she loved. I had a clam chowder because if was made with quahogs — and I can never find those outside of New England. Great lunch, fine wines, marvelous company. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Unfortunately, the food does not live up to this upscale venue. Our server was very much on the ball but my swordfish arrived thawed in the middle. I understand ordering a swordfish in southern Florida can be a dicey proposition but nevertheless the fish could have been better prepared. The server offered another meal to try without offering my meal on the house or even a desert on the house. I then picked seared tuna which arrived with overly salted fried rice. My wife’s Bucatini Pomodori arrived with disproportionate amount of extra sauce. Good service, not so good food.

We had a reservation for a nearby restaurant for dinner and wanted to grab some drinks beforehand. The bar was standing room only so I asked the hostess if we could have a table in the dining room for 4 people for drinks only. I repeated that we were only going to have drinks, that we had a reservation elsewhere in 30 minutes, and was that ok. She said Sure! and showed us to a table along the windows overlooking the water. Now, keep in mind this was around 5:45 on a Sunday night. The bar was packed but the rest of the place was empty. I didn’t ask for a table at the window.
Enter the server… he takes our drink orders and is thoroughly annoyed that we are only having drinks. So annoyed in fact that he walks away while we’re still talking to him. Then, I watch as the server, hostess, and manager (I assume he’s the manager) stand by the kitchen pointing at us and talking. Uncomfortable? Awkward? Make us want to leave? Definitely. Now the hostess comes over to confirm we are only having drinks. At this point none of us want to be there.
On the way out I stopped to let the manager know how uncomfortable it made us and how unprofessional the whole thing was. He apologized and told me the dining room is only for guests who are eating, well that’s great, maybe tell your hostess that. He did offer to buy us drinks (in the bar of course) if we wanted to come back another time. We did not want to come back another time.
Oh, and they screwed up the drinks too. So all in all, no thanks.

I’ve enjoyed the fish entrees at M. Waterfront, but the red wines are cellared at a ridiculously low temperature and when served, cannot be enjoyed. In addition these wines are pricey and, given the temperature at presentation, one might as well go without! And I would NEVER choose to go without! This is a serious flaw in an otherwise quite decent establishment.

For the price, the food should be outstanding. The appetizers were the best part in my opinion (I got the escargot and the lobster bisque), but the actual dishes (costing an avg of $ 40 a plate) were only OK to me. The fish was really fresh which is always a good sign, but the overall dish wasn’t over the top and the outside smelled like trash when we walked up to the water. I got a mojito and though it was pretty good, once again, it was just like an average mojito. The water «view» was just OK, and was a little crowded with tables. The service was good– but I just wasn’t wow’d like i wanted to be when paying a $ 200+ bill. Lastly, aside from feeling crowded at my table, I was under the impression this would be a romantic atmosphere for Valentines Day, so i was a little let down when i was seated only a few feet away from the next couple, and by how loud it was in the restaurant– allowing no intimacy between couples. Overall, I could find better restaurants in the Naples area for this price-​point so don’t think I’ll be coming again. ALSO: If you are over the age of 50, this «village» shopping center is paradise! It’s a gorgeous area right by the water, but there are ZERO shops for any of the younger generations.

Had a business dinner here and was excited for some good seafood. Ordered two appetizers for the table to share both which were just ok — spring rolls and fig crostini.
For main course ordered the salmon and there was nothing special about it. In fact only took a few bites as I got a few bones in each bite. Didn’t want to send back as I was with clients. The entrees prices are from
$ 25 — 45 and would have expected a lot more for those prices.
The only thing memorable here was the bread not even the butter which the waitress was so gushing over said it was hand churned… Wouldn’t know it
Service was good and waitress very attentive not her fault food was lacking

Clean, but not terribly impressed! Kinda seemed like an old folks home/​tourist trap! The location is great the view was great but that’s what your paying for here! I guess if it works for them so be it otherwise it might be time for new fresh menu and theme!

Came here on a Monday night and it was pretty quiet. Not a bad thing. Just saying.
Beautiful view of the bay with boats passing frequently. Especially well lit and decorated right now (Holiday season).
Waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and met our every need.
Blacked Florida Black Grouper off their Autumn menu was delicious.
Can’t go wrong starting with a Caesar salad or the Shrimp and Crab spring rolls.
Very welcoming place with high quality eats. Will definitely return!

Great spot to enjoy a well prepared meal with a great view. I came here during lunch time on a rainy Tuesday so I guess that’s why it wasn’t very crowded.
The hostess and waiter were very attentive and always made good suggestions. I went for the clam chowder and lobster roll. Food had both nice presentation and great flavor. I specially liked their butter and herbs mix used for the lobster meat.
For desert, I went against my chocolate liking instinct and tried their key lime pie. The size was just right and the pie itself was very good.
It’s pricy but worth in my opinion.

The food was PRETTY good, although I think the shrimp was a little overcooked. Portions were on the small side and the price was in the price range of «sorry kids, it’s going to be a small Christmas this year.»
I can’t say I hated it but I would probably only go again if somebody delivered an exceedingly well-​made PowerPoint presentation on why I should.

We came back for the second year in a row and although the food was good, we weren’t as impressed as last time. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night and they had live music which was nice. Again we started with their bread, butter and tapenade which was good. Started with the wedge, which was also good. I got the filet which didn’t cut quite as smoothly as it did last time. The potatoes were still good, but I did not get the tomato bernaise sauce this time, instead the filet came with tomatoes on the plate. Not sure if that was an oversight or a change.
My friend seemed to enjoy her tomato and burrata salad. My mom also got the filet and she was just not impressed with it at all. By this point we had tried the Capital Grille and the Grill at the Ritz Carlton so I think it was just hard to measure up to those places.
Our service was decent, I wasn’t wowed by our server’s attention. We had to wait a bit for the check. The next day the manager called and left me a message thanking us for coming in though which I thought was a nice touch and they also gave us coupons to return but they expire in September so we won’t be able to use them.

Our server Boris (from Bulgaria) provided outstanding service for our leisurely 2-​hour dinner as we celebrated the 65^th anniversary of the in-​laws at this posh restaurant situated along the Moorings Bay inlet of the Gulf of Mexico. We loved the ambiance!
Starting with the New England clam chowda’ and a few orders of the Chilled Crab & Lobster appetizers, our group chose a selection of entrees including the house specialty Sautéed Veal & Shrimp «M», the fresh Honey Miso Roasted Black Grouper and an order of their night’s special… the Pan Fried Great Lakes Walleye.
The entrees drew rave reviews all around including the «best grouper I ever had» and «the veal was so tender that you could cut it with a fork».
We finished up with three desserts including M’s own delicious Key Lime Pie compliments of Mimi. Thanks Mimi!!! What a great finish to this enjoyable celebratory dinner at such a popular restaurant.

Hidden Gem and a must try. My wife and I ate here for our Anniversary dinner. The food is something you think of from a Top Chef show. They create artful dishes with amazing flavors. I had the squash ravioli, which you would think is just vegetables. It was a combination of duck confit, pomegranate, roasted hazelnuts, and more. Every bite made me wonder what I was eating… it was teasing my taste buds.
My wife had a seafood dish which was really good as well.
They definitely helped us feel welcome for our day, and we will be going back for more.
