    Fantastic Food, We had the Club Sandwich, Cowboy Burger and Tavern Burger, Probably one of the best sandwich's we've had in the downtown area. Our Server was GREAT! wish i remembered her name but maybe short girl brown hair ha ha. we were at the far table by the fish and boxing photos. Again either way Great service Great environment *Jets flying over are a littlie annoying* But other then that Truly Spot and the Server made it that much more incredible! Thanks ^_^

    Very nice location but the food was only average. We stopped in right when they opened so there wasn’t much of a crowd. The server was nice and the setting was cool. It also had a nice view of the marina. Wish the food was a little better though.

    Stopped in for some drinks and appetizers since it was 19:30 and everything is pretty much closed by 21:00 in Naples. Brandi was the bartender who was very attentive, friendly & all around fun to converse with. We ordered a G&T (gin & tonic), a michelada and (2) Lienenkugel Summer Shandies along with the parmesan truffle fries and the street corn nachos with pork. The parmesan truffle fries were to die for- crisp, crunchy, perfectly cooked semi-spirals of deliciousness and the street corn nachos were quite tasty! I was contemplating ordering a second order of the fries to go…they were that good! What a fun place to stop in to have drinks & apps. I didn’t have room for an entree but I have no doubt whatever the option is, you won’t be leaving hungry and/or unsatisfied. Cheers!

    My wife and I had dinner here. The food was amazing and the service was great. We would highly recommend trying this place out the next time you are in town.

    My husband and I were looking for a nice place to eat lunch with water views. We found it! We sat outside under large turquoise umbrellas. The server was delightful and efficient. My husband ordered a veggie burger and I ordered an ahi poke bowl. We enjoyed both very much. There was a breeze and could have been the perfect spot. However the constant noise of the planes taking off from the Naples Airport was disruptive and annoying. I wonder if the take offs were more frequent because it was a holiday. But it is a problem for such a nice restaurant and area in general.

    Had lunch here yesterday and overall it was good. The service was pretty slow but they were busy as it was New Year’s Day and most other places were shut down. The pizza was very cheesy and filling. It was the kid’s size. The chicken club was good/average. And the baby back ribs were okay. Wasn’t a huge fan of them as they did not fall off the bone and the sauce was very sweet. The best part about this place is the location as the patio is really nice and faces the water. The servers are very interactive and friendly as well. Overall I recommend this place if you’re looking for bar style food.

    Not just your normal sports bar! Not typical bar food either! The Truffle Fries were the best I have ever had, and I eat them wherever I can! The Key Lime Snapper was awesome! The seasonings were just right and the fish cooked perfectly! Even the long grain & wild rice and sautéed vegetables it was placed on were perfect! The atmosphere couldn't be better! You can watch a game and have a great view of the water. Just a super place to end a long weekend or hank out.

    Ate here on 11/24/23. Had the cowboy burger and fries. The burger was decent, the fries were very good. The price was reasonable, and the service was good. Sat outside and watched the planes landing at the airport and boats coming in. Had lots of TVs to watch sports. Give’em a try!

    Wonderful lunch on the water. I had salmon BLT and my husband had chicken teriyaki salad. Both were delicious and arrived from the kitchen quickly. The vodka strawberry basil lemonade cocktail was refreshing! The highlight of our visit was our server, Riley. Besides being adorable, she was friendly and upbeat and has only been in Naples a few short weeks. Bonus: She's from our hometown of Cleveland, Ohio! We will be back.

    Service was great and food was pretty good, nothing outstanding but good. If you like loud sports bar style restaurants this is it. We sat outside and was very nice and quiet.

    Fun place, affordable food, great bartender that was serving me. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was great.

    When sitting outdoors in the evening, you can enjoy beautiful sunset colors/views. It's a casual bar style restaurant inside. The menu selection is not very large in comparison to other places like this one. On a Sunday evening, the restaurant was relatively empty; yet the food and drinks took a very long time to come out. Fortunately, everything tasted great. We recommend the burgers! The hostess and server were nice but seemed to lack customer service skills on several occasions.

    Wings and tavern chips were good, grouper was good bun not so much, just a basic bun. Very pricey for the style and quality of food. Also staff was not very pleasant or tentative to us.

    Service (drinks) was a bit slow but I can’t point to the restaurant for that….waitress was either over worked or forgot about us on the patio. That aside, Tavern On The Bay was a friendly spot. Open air inside tables or outside next to the canal way. Glass of Josh Cab $13 and Hawaiian pizza. The pulled pork kettle chips with bbq drizzle and cheese ( not pictured) was enough for two and then some.

    If your looking for a nice restaurant with good food, and great service, you'll find everything you need here. The food is good, the service is fast, the view is really nice. Nothing more, nothing less! I recommend

    Food is pretty decent but the waitresses are really intrusive and overenthusiastic, bothering when you are in the middle of eating.

    We went in for an early lunch on a Sunday. There were about five tables with customers. Our server was Allison. She was super friendly and accommodating. We ordered a Mediterranean salad and some corn nachos along with some root beer and iced tea. If everyone that worked at Tavern on the Bay was as thoughtful and friendly as Allison this place would be packed from open to close.

    Good location on the bay, indoor and outdoor seating. Margarita pizza was good, very thin crust. Service was ok.

  • 5/5 Yves D. 2 years ago on Google
    Best burger ive had in a long time. Meat was excellent and charbroiled just right. The bun was fresh and the bacon crispy. As well $15 for a bacon cheeseburger of this quality is a deal....fries included. Sometimes the simplest things are hardest to do. I've been twice in the last 3 weeks and both times the burger was awesome. I'll be back.

    They have great food and a nice ambiance. My wife said her blackened grouper was the best she's had and we been in Naples for over 2 months. I had the Cuban and it was also excellent. Will definitely be going back soon 😌

    Popped in for lunch with our family. Great indoor and outdoor seating. Right on the water. Tons of tvs. Great menu with lots of options from sandwiches to burgers to seafood to salads. Lots of apps. We got there right at opening and the place was empty; however the service was slow and frankly un-attentive.. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry, so we made the best of it. Overall food was good "bar food". Pretzel bites, Philly cheesesteak, burger, Cuban sandwich, and pizza were all solid choices. Casual bar atmosphere. Family friendly, with lots of 6 top seating choices.clean restaurant.
