We asked for outdoors. My BAD. We were placed next to a blaring speaker, soon to be replaced by loud live entertainment. We asked to be moved indoors. This request was refused althought there were plenty of empty tables at the time. The usually good crab cakes were extrememly salty last night. Otherwise the food was OK. Chowder was good.

Fun, intimate, tropical setting for dining. The Real Macaw is away from the congested areas of Naples; kind of a gem in a neighborhood; not far from Naples Botanical Gardens. Service is excellent; attentive but not overbearing. Menu has many out of the ordinary options... all are wonderful. Really a special place to return to over and over.

As always, the food was superb. We were a little disappointed in the service. The Real Macaw is one of our top 3 favorites in Naples. We love the ambience, the food and usually the service. Last night was not the norm as far as service goes. We waited a long time to be acknowledged, the food order wasn’t put in, and requests were forgotten. It may have just been a difficult night for the server and he did offer complimentary dessert. It won’t deter us from coming back on a regular basis because it’s truly the only time in dozens of visits that the service suffered. Hopefully, this was just an off day for the server.
