Diner Reviews

"Service staff was very responsive throughout!! The Ceaser salad outstanding. Try the $10 upgrade offered during "Happy Hour Dining Menu"...we thought it was worth it to have seabass. Food and service Consistent every time we visit. Portions are geneous. Only minor negative....we thought the Chef was a bit too generous on the white miso. My motto, "Why Eat at Home"."

"This was our second time dining at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Prior to dinner we had a drink at the bar during happy hour. The bartender was so friendly and efficient, we enjoyed our time there before dinner. We had another couple with us and everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be back soon!"

"We went to this restaurant since I love Sea bass and wanted to try their #1 favorite. To my surprise, it was very fishy. My husband ordered pork shop with risotto, another disappointment, the risotto was over cooked. We will give this restaurant a second chance, but will order something else."

"We are locals and it is our favorite place in town. The waiters or waitresses are very friendly. The sea bass is delicious and the tenderloin is great. I also recommend the salads. I am European and my fiancé is American. He knows I am hard to please when it comes to find the right restaurant. Every time he says " let's go to bistro 821" he puts a smile on my face."

"We had the best meal we've had yet in Naples. They accommodated my step daughter with a vegan meal and my husband and I enjoyed the Chilean sea bass entree which was absolutely wonderful! The service and food were top notch. We also enjoyed outdoor dining. We will be back!"

"Signature Chilean sea bass entree was one of the best meals I've ever had. Girlfriend had the Neapolitan pasta which was excellent as well. Can't go wrong. Give this place a shot."

"If you have a special occasion(an anniversary, a birthday, an engagement) this is the place to go to celebrate. The food was outstanding. The best scallops I ever had. I started with escargot, which was very tasty. Loved that croutons were cooked on top. Nice touch. My husband had the sea bass. We celebrated his birthday. This was our first time here, but definitely we will be back."

"They have a 2 entree + free bottle of wine special for $33 that is outstanding. I upgraded to the Sea Bass for $10 extra and our total bill came to $45 for two people. Service was pleasant and everything was very nice...I highly recommend Bistro821."

"This is the one that started all the revival along 5th Avenue back in the mid 90s and it still delivers. Seafood is great and their early dining specials are the best on 5th."

"The food and service were great. The tables were very close together and it was a little noisy. Not a place for intimate conversation. But overall, we had a great meal with friends."

"We dined here for the first time last Saturday night. I had made reservations at 6:00 PM for four and were seated immediatley upon arrival. By 6:30 every table was full! We all ordered from the wine & dine menu (2 entrees & a bottle of wine for $32.95). Several of us ordered a salad for a few dollars more which was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals...my sole dish was wonderful and my husband had the shrimp stir-fry and he said it was the best he had ever had. We will definitely be back."

"We had an excellent meal at Bistro 821. Order by 7:00 PM and it's $33 for two entrees and a bottle of wine. Four of us each ordered the Pork Piccatta which was outstanding. Even the free wine wasn't bad. Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely return soon."

"We couldn't get a reservation during the early bird special that suited us, but we had read such good reviews that we decided to pay full price. Well worth it! I had to order the sea bass that people raved about and I was not disappointed. It was perhaps the best meal of my life! My husband ordered the shrimp and was extremely pleased. (We both tested each other's and agreed that the food was exceptional). Highly recommend!"

"Bistro is one of our few "go to" restaurants. Their wine and dine menu has many more offerings than most early dining menus and you can't beat the value. Service is attentive and we enjoy the informal casual feel of the dining room."

"Excellent service. However, my pork chop was the strangest fattiest chop I have ever seen. Risotto was mushy, more like oatmeal. Not what I had looked forward to."

"Server forgot appetizer but offer desert to make up for it. Took guests n was seated in the last banquette which faces the kitchen doorway , couple next to us had a dog in a stroller.

"We were met at the door by one of the owners - William Holcomb and he seemed genuinely happy that we chose Bistro 821 for dinner. The menu is quite extensive but, the deal is the "Special" that includes two main courses with sides and a bottle of drinkable wine. The sea bass is not offered on the $33 special but, for just $10 more you can order it along with a terrific salad. This is a steal. We were glad we were early birds as the place seems to fill up by 6:30 or so. Our server - Chrissy - was also very good. A nice personality with just the right amount of friendly kidding, knowledge of the menu, and efficiency. "

"Our wait person, Frank recommended the Sea Bass as what the Bistro 821 is known for and they did not disappoint! We will be back to savor it again. Thank you for a pleasant experience!"

"We met friends for dinner and had an excellent early dinner. I had the pork dish which was cooked fork tender. The green beans a were cooked la dente and were a nice green color. I never eat mashed potatoes but yours I cleaned my plate. Good job. We will be back. Donna"
