Naples/Marco Island restaurants not outdoor dining
 
We'll be in a condo on Marco Island next week. We would appreciate some suggestions for casual indoor dining either on the water or nearby.

Any suggestions???????

The Snook Inn is a very popular casual spot on Marco Island. You can dine indoors or out - right on the water.

We're also hoping to get some Naples suggestions. Patrick??????

Casual indoor in Naples? Depends what you call "casual", but the following come to mind:

P.F. Chang's

Aldo's -- casual Italian cafe in King's Lake Shopping Center.

BT Boomer's, on the East Trail, a fun sports bar with great wings and oversized portions.

Kelly's Fish House, near Tin City -- probably the best (or only) indoor casual waterfront seafood place worth going to.

Cheeburger, Cheeburger: great shakes, malts, fries, and burgers. One on Fifth Avenue, one in King's Lake Shopping Center, and I think one in Marco (?).

I'm from Naples and have a few favorites---Tommy Bahamas on 3rd St....Chops on 5th Ave....il Posto on 3rd....not on the water but all serve outside.

Try the Turtle Club in the Edgewater Hotel in Naples. Has indoor dining, but also outdoor dining right on the beach. Either way try to time it for sunset.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. With all of the sudden thunder storms this week we didn't want to be outside dining when one hit!

sferguso, please enlighten me. The only Turtle Club I know of is the one at the Vanderbilt Beach Resort. The last I knew the dining room at the Edgewater was a private one and called the Crystal Room. Has that changed?

teacherD, I understand what you mean. I just got dried off from the thunderstorm I got caught in when I went to the grocery a few minutes ago. There have been some mean ones lately.

jki, have you been to Il Posto since it was sold? We had a horrible meal and worse service since the changeover. We also called the manager the next day about their seemingly new custom of adding an automatic 15% tip to the bill. He said it was not their policy, but I suspect the waiter did it because he knew he gave us such lousy service.
