Restaurants near The Village Shops on Venetian Bay

We attended for Thanksgiving dinner and opted for the traditional menu. The turkey is the best prepared we've ever had in a restaurant. The sides were done nicely. There was enough for leftover boxes. Part way through dinner the heaters were activated and we were comfortable on the deck looking at at the bay. Lucas was our server and conducted everything perfectly. Part way through dinner an entertainer began playing piano and singing softly, quite nice. We have dined here before and will again.

Living in Naples for the past 25 years, Ive seen many restaurants open to rave reviews, and close within 3 years. Tony Ridgeway is a local restauranteur who understands what people want, what is trendy, and what is a tried and true" menu item. I love both his restaurants. Everything is always excellent. At Bayside today we both had the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner that was fantastic. He used REAL turkeys, Both white meat and dark were on our plates. and everyone knows the white meat is easy to slice, but the dark meat always comes out in chunks. That's what we had. No processed "turkey roast" that most places serve. Thank you Tony for a delightful Holiday dinner!

Fantastic experience for all of us. Beautiful view. Classy and very comfortable. Exceptional from beginning to end. Water view amazing. Service top notch. Food was perfect and presentation spot on. Wonderful menu. Definitely will be going back. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful experience. Fantastic food and excellent service. Beautiful waterfront view.

I requested inside dining but when they seated us they put us at a table outside right at the edge of the curb of the street. Before even sitting down I mentioned my request but the host said we don’t do requests. I explained again in Italian, and he said, oh ok we can get you inside, just wait 20 minutes and a table will open. Ugh. Other than that the food was incredible, and service was excellent.
