Diner Reviews

"Had a special dinner with friends. Service impeccable!! Food fantastic! Had steak that was so flavorful and tender, you could cut with a butter knife. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for fine dining. Dress code strict. Expensive, but well worth every penny. Will return for sure."

"My husband and I celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary enjoying a fabulous meal at The Grill. I was so excited because of all the Gluten Free options especially the Chocolate Soufflé!!! I enjoyed the French Onion Soup and the GF Lobster Mac & Cheese made fresh by the chef. My husband enjoyed the Veal Chop and I the Colorado Lamb Chops. The wine and the service was fabulous and we look forward to dining again the next time we visit Naples. "

"We have looked forward to Ritz Carlton "Grill"s around the world ever since our first date 25 years ago - regardless of which Ritz - the Grill restaurant is always elegant and with outstanding Ritz service - Naples is no different. Everyone in the room was attentive and while quite formal still friendly. First dishes (lobster bisque and beet salad) were excellent and beautifully served; the dover sole was excellent, the rib eye unfortunately was a bit of a disappointment but still good. Don't miss the dessert soufflés."

"Dinner was rushed - four courses under two hours; seafood stew portion was very small for the price; had to remind sommelier to put our bottle of wine on bill; arguably the most expensive dinner in all of Naples - and that's saying something!"

"The four of us were disappointed in the quality of our meals for the prices paid. The meal was double what we paid earlier in the week at a note able local high end restaurant and the food at this establishment just was not as good. We were disappointed"

"Food was disappointing. We would probably not go back. We had enjoyed the more casual atmosphere of Gumbo Limbo so thought we would try fine dining at the Ritz. I would stick with Gumbo Limbo."

"Ambiance was dull and stuffy. My Dover sole was similarly bland. (I was expecting the meunière sauce to have a lemon taste or maybe capers.) And they don't seem to have their dress code sorted out - we were reminded at every contact not to wear open-toed shoes (yes, ladies too) yet young girls traipsed through the dining room with miniskirts that could double for bathing suits. Personally, I was not turned off by what they were wearing, but why make a stink about open-toed shoes? I'm talking about nice Italian leather numbers, NOT flip flops. That aside, I was surprised not to see more entrees on the menu. The steaks were too large for my appetite. The sole was tender & presented beautifully, but even with a bite in my mouth, not memorable."

"The meat selection, preparation and cooking style create the perfect steak. This is my favorite restaurant in Naples because of the amazing select cuts of beef and the taste of their food. The wine selection is fine, the bar beverages are well made, and the servers are top quality. If you want to dine in elegance, this is the location you need to be."

"Since the renovation, the room is oddly cold and the tables are WAY too close together for a pricey, intimate dining experience. The noise level is also surprisingly TOO LOUD - the sounds bounces off all these hard surfaces - I found the decor (which matters alot when dining at a top price restaurant) cold an uninteresting, while practically sitting on top of the next banquette. I would have expected more from a top notch restaurant! The food however is wonderful - as is the service. I have dined here many times, and hate to say it, may not go back only because I never relaxed or felt physically comfortable. Sounds trivial, but its no small thing at such a "special occasion" restaurant."

"I dined at the ritz with a friend, I haven't tasted Such succulent steak in my life! The service was superb- we were served by a waiter who is of Colombian in origin! He was great"

"It was a special occasion. It was my Mother's birthday. When The Grill called to confirm the reservation they asked if it was a special occasion. So they knew. My Mom ordered the Dover Sole $59.00 of tough fish. My brother had ordered it on another occasion and said it was delicious. What a BIG disappoint on her birthday. I was shocked when they were clearing the plates while someone was still eating. Never before had they done that. Of the 7 entrees ordered only two were pleased with what they ordered. We won't be going back anytime soon."

"Great food and service. Wine list is extensive and should be posted online."

"this was our first time to this restaurant in 2014 and we had a wonderful experience. The size, lay-out, furnishings, lighting and soft live music provided the perfect setting for an intimate dinner in which conversations could be shared easily. The menu offered good selections and the presentations were lovely. Three of us chose seafood and the other had a steak. All were delicious. The waiter was attentive while not hovering. This was a celebration dinner for which we expected to spend more than a typical dinner out. Although the prices made me think "yikes!', the costs did match the high quality of the total experience."
Dined on 3/14/2014
"The Grill with its revitalized ambiance was delightful. Great service, delicious bone in filet and one of the best sommeliers we know made it a very enjoyable evening."

"If you're looking for a place that consistently epitomizes fine dining, then The Grill Room at the Ritz Carlton is your place. Fabulous food, wine, desserts and ambiance every time! Professional and experienced wine stewards and wait staff take pride in providing a high quality dining experience that lives up to the price."

"n the past we had a poor experience at the Ritz ; poorly dressed, loud people and a tired menu and workstaff.Now , we know you can expect some of this at a Beach Resort...but NOT at the Ritz Grille Room. The meal was served by an over worked waiter who did not seem to have time for us. That was then...We did not return until 2 nights ago to see the renovation..Beautiful and a restored dress code..wonderful! Our Waiter, West, was superb always available yet not hovering. We had Dover Sole and The special Prime Rib...We acknowledged the best that we had ever had ANYWHERE. The drinks were a good pour and the quiet music from the grand piano set exactly the mood we were looking for from a great establishment. We will be back again and again!"

"We ate at The Grill on March 6,2014,and from start to finish!it was a wonderful experience. Our waiter,Mathew,was very attentive,informative with wine info and very much a gentleman. Our server was very pleasant and polite ,coming back several times to ensure we didn't need anything else . We both ordered the rack of lamb .....beautifully prepared as we ordered.....the best! We would return there again on our next visit ......enjoyed the " fine dining"feel this restaurant provided!"
Dined on 3/6/2014
"Everything was excellent. The ribeye was the best I've ever eaten. They had no issue splitting the 22oz ribeye for us (no charge). It was not a stuffy atmosphere like you might think at a Ritz. Waitstaff could not have been better. Just a great experience overall. I would love to know how they prepared the med rare steak that was perfect right out to the edges, awesome."
Dined on 3/5/2014
"We have been coming to the Ritz Carlton Naples for the past 25 years and we always end our stay with a dinner at the Grill. This is the best in all aspects--service, food and ambience--making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Now, we have a condo, but we still end our visits with a dinner at the Ritz Grill!"

"well the place has lost its classy interior and is very loud and noisy due to its lack of cloth. But once you get buy the new cafeteria appearance the food great and so is the staff. However I would not go there for a special occasion again. I guarantee the designer is from the west coast...it look so new money LA"

"I am a steak snob. Peter Luger's in New York is my favorite. I would rate the steak I had at the Grill a close 2nd."
Dined on 2/27/2014
"As always, outstanding food, wine and service. However, this time our seating arrangements placed us between two other couples rather closely, losing the romantic aspect we have previously enjoyed here. Succulent lobster and a fantastic Grand Marnier soufflé."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"The new décor is very nice and we liked the new colors and large paintings. The staff was attentive and personable. However the food was just ok and the prices were out of this world. We expected high prices having dined there many times over the years but the food was mediocre. I think it was $14 for one scoop of vanilla ice cream??? With all the other choices in Naples we would probably not go back."

"chateau briand for two was over the top. Service was impecable. Great for special occasions."

"The Grill at the Ritz-Carlton always provides the best in service, ambiance, and food. First, the service staff is impeccable. James, our server for the evening was well-versed in the menu and had a very professional yet amiable attitude which started the relaxing evening. Next, the wine list lacks nothing and offers a wide variety of pleasant palates. The menu provides choices for all tastes without excessive fanfare. My wife and I enjoyed the soft piano music played by a wonderful lady and you could actually hear the music as the guests' conversations were barely discernable. If you want an elegant evening out in style, this is the restaurant for you."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"We were there last year and somewhat disappointed, but since then they remodeled everything looks very upscale and beautiful. Most important role, they are and forcing a dress code. Last year I was sitting next to people in a bathing suit and flip-flops."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"We were there on August 2 and the service and food were excellent but this time I must say that it took a long time for our food. We were not asked about our food. Very disappointing and not mention it was too cold in the room. You can not enjoy a meal when you are feeling cold. It ruins the whole experience."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"Dining at the Grill is always a wonderful experience. The food and service is wonderful and we especially enjoy the music of Connie. We are surprised that the Singer/Piano player now leaves at 8:30 when her singing is so popular."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"It seems that the staff was not that interested in early diners. We go there at 6:30 PM and we got an average table- eventhough there were better ones situated further back from the entry door. The server was polite, the food was good, but the pace of the meal was hurried. The atmosphere was just OK despite a recent renovation of the restaurant."
Dined on 2/8/2014
"The Ritz did not disappoint or fall below any expectation we had when we made our reservation. The Ritz called prior to the appointed evening asking if we were celebrating an occasion or had any special requests or food issues. That attention to detail further set the stage for our evening at The Ritz. We were warmly greated as we arrived for our reservation, and James helped make it an evening to remember. The ambiance, staff and food collectively met and exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend The Grill at The Ritz in Naples."

"The Ritz went through a $66m renovation this summer and all restaurants were done over. This was our first time since the project was complete and it really looks fantastic. It was getting a bit 'stogy' for our taste but the renovations have really made this dining room a first class destination. I went for dinner with my 14 your old daughter for a special dinner out and the team at The Grill really delivered. I would strongly recommend the lamb chops…just to die for. The waiter offered wine pairings for each course of the meal and each was spot on. When you pay this much for meal the food is expected to be great…it was! The services should be great….it was beyond great…it was superb!! Can't wait to get back soon."

"We have been going to the Grill Room for the past 15 years and have always had a wonderful experience. The new decor is very nice but we prefer the old. Food, service, etc. are still top notch."

"The Grill has yet to disappoint me. The food, the service, the timing is as always top notch. Two of the people in our party were vegan and the chef prepared special meals just for them , witch they loved ! Great friends, food, drinks and great service. I'm moving in."
Dined on 1/20/2014
"Every bite and sip were delicious. Love the way they did the wedge salad, very different and a cut above. The veggies were incredibly tasty and of course the meat...was the best."
Dined on 1/15/2014
"Food wasn't so good, veal chop was fatty but they didn't charge for it. Steak special was extremely expensive and flavor was only marginal. Overall not a good value for the cost"
Dined on 1/6/2014
"Scott was a terrific server! We enjoyed my sister's 65th birthday celebration! There were just 6 in our party and I had made the reservation about 2 weeks prior to our dinner on the 23rd of Dec. I had requested Table 1 when I made the reservation in person and checked about getting that table again via phone and was told we would have that "more intimate" table, but we did not get it that evening. I was a bit disappointed, but our round table near the fireplace was very nice. Scott made it special with his great service and great personality."

"This restaurant met all my expectations. Yes, this is a very expensive restaurant, but also a most memorable dining experience."
