“ Bistro 821 is a chic, nouveau restaurant on the main drag in downtown Naples that offers eclectic cocktails and some of the best-tasting sea bass I have ever enjoyed. I would return just for the sea bass. It's buttery, flaky deliciousness that tantalizes the senses to a place of spiritual purity and strength; strength and spiritual purity. The sad part was I didn't order it. I ordered the white truffle dry-aged NY strip. While that was good with its creamy risotto and asparagus, it didn't compare to the Sea Bass that was out-of-this-world amazing in its flavor profile. Meanwhile, I enjoyed delicious cocktails like the gin-based Empress' New Groove and tequila-forward Jalapeño Business. Both were fantastic. Parking is easily located both on the street and in the nearby parking garages. It's fun to sit outside under one of the canopy-covered tables and enjoy cocktails and Sea Bass as people and hot cars roll on by. ”

“ Excellent food and service! We made a reservation on Open Table and were running about 15 mins late. We texted to let them know & it was no problem. They had a table ready when we arrived. We decided to sit outside and enjoyed the ambiance of 5th Avenue. Ordered a bottle of wine, and Hubs had a ceaser salad and seafood risotto. He enjoyed both. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was served with carrot mashed potatoes and asparagus. The fish was perfectly prepared and cooked. It was so delicious! The veggies were very good as well. Based on this experience, we would definitely go back! ”

“ I had an amazing experience at Bistro 821. I would highly recommend making a reservation vs walking in. I decided to dine at the bar instead of waiting for my table & that was the best decision! The bartenders provided excellent service & great drinks! For my meal, I ordered the pick 2 and went with the recommended sea bass, jumbo prawns and ginger & garlic green beans. I would visit Naples again just for this meal! For dessert I went with the crème brûlée and that was good as well. Street parking can be hard to find but there is a small lot in walking distance (corner of 9th st & 5th Ave. The vibe of this restaurant is more laid back compared to other spots on the strip. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend trying Bistro 821! ”

“ We had a wonderful meal and service from Angela. We smarted with baked Bree with a savory mushroom sauce. We were also served some warm dinner rolls that were very tasty. My wife had an old fashioned and I had the seasonal beer on tap. For main dishes, I had the seafood risotto. The sauce was excellent and there was enough to keep the rice moist without overweighting the dish. My wife had the pasta primavera. The presentation of the vegetables was very pretty as was the taste. We were too full for desert. The acoustic guitars that were playing was a nice accompaniment to the meal. The runs wax pleasant and they were played at a volume that allowed conversation. ”

“ Chilean seas bass melts in your mouth! The snapper is excellent also! You can not go wrong with either of these selections on the menu ”

“ Hands Down The Best Food and By Far the Best Service we've experienced in Naples. Our waiter Steven, verbally recited the nightly specials to the point we could almost taste the Morel Mushroom glaze on their Veal Chop. Having had consistently good experiences at 821 for the past 15-20 years, tonight we were particularly pleased with everything. Only wanted to say thank you again for making tonight memorable. Great Service and Excellent Food. ”
