Food and atmosphere terrific as usual. The service from the wait staff has always been exceptional too. However, last night we brought friends that we have been telling about how terrific The Real Macaw is and unfortunately our waiter seemed very distracted and forgetful. This is what diminished the experience for all of us.

The experience was wonderful, we will surely return! Loved the atmosphere out in the courtyard seating. Loved loved the music of Sonny Keen, and his bass guitarist, outstanding, and really made the night different than other restaurant venues. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars was that our food was good, but given to us lukewarm. No, we don’t send food back.

Lovely Caribbean style restaurant. Steel drum music was a lovely backdrop. Service was slow at first when we waited over 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table. But when I mentioned that we had a theater reservation to make, the service was magnificent and Ciel was terrific! Oh, and then there's the food. Really tasty!

Our best meal and dining experience in Naples, hands down! Wonderful wine selection. We enjoyed the seafood chowder, the onion soup and shrimp cocktail for appetizers. For entrées we had the pear salad topped with grilled shrimp, the roasted chicken, and the ahi tuna. All were prepared perfectly and we’re just delicious. The highlight was the coconut bread pudding and chocolate mousse cake. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience, and we will be back!

Our server, Cassie was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks were ordered and served promptly. I had the swordfish with lobster, whipped potatoes, and delicious vegetables, my husband had the duck, with the same two sides. The presentation was excellent. And we both cleaned our plates. We will certainly return.

The food was the highlight (chicken pate, salad, duck were the best, pork tenderloin was dry). We were seated in the back of the back room/cottage -- acoustics made the room very loud and difficult to hear the server. Our server had too many tables and was not readily and regularly available.

Great food! Congratulations to the chef! My husband had curry chicken which he thought was an amazing combinations of flavors. Tuna and Swordfish were also amazing! Only issue was my husband is allergic to swimming fish and was unable to eat the bread or the calamari because they were cooked in the same oil as the fish.

They had run out of the special which was halibut so that was disappointing. We did enjoy the crab cake (incredible) and tuna Tatar. Guests had the 3 nut encrusted salmon, shrimp scampi, and the ribeye special (rib eye was just Ok). One guest has clam chowder (delicious). Service was wonderful. The restaurant was an enjoyable key west kind of vibe! Live music was great but way to loud for the space. All in all the restaurant was very good. Highly recommend!!!

For the most part, everybody enjoyed their food (the crabcakes and the curry chicken were fantastic, the shrimp scampi not so much) . We had fantastic service however, the restaurant is very loud inside as well as outside. Restaurant has a great vibe but during season and busy times the parking can be very difficult. Had to park two blocks away.

The Real Macaw will definitely remind you of an upscale Key West restaurant. The food and service are tremendous. There is indoor/outside dining a varietal music that is not too loud. The bar area is tight and parking can be an issue.

We have dined at the Real Macaw multiple times over an 8+year period. From the first time we were introduced it was love at first sight and the feeling remained throughout the years. We have introduced many of our friends to this hidden gem in Naples. Despite the setback of the owner passing and Hurricane Ian damage and restoration, it has not lost its ambiance and charm and particularly the excellent Food. We will return!!
