Description: The Turtle Club Restaurant is Naples’ most charming & intimate beachfront restaurant, where guests experience gracious hospitality & great coastal cuisine in an upscale casual atmosphere. The setting is spectacular – the restaurant is located on the grounds of the Vanderbilt Beach Resort directly on the beach. Guests dine close to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico & enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea, including beautiful sunsets. The cuisine is equally fantastic – serving only the freshest seafood & steaks with a core menu that includes something from everyone. Weekly specials combine the best of old & new world culinary styles with touches of Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asian & Southern American cuisine. The Turtle Club was voted the best Waterfront Dining Restaurant in Naples 2011. Online reservations are available for dinner only. Reservations are not needed for lunch. We will do our best to honor online requests for outdoor seating but cannot guarantee seating at outdoor tables.

.Excellent food and beach seating is a rare combination, but is successfully achieved at the Turtle Club. We enjoyed the Shrimp and Crab Napoleon and coconut shrimp with beach service like no other

My wife and I visited recently for dinner and I have to echo the comments of many before me. Your car is efficiently handled by friendly valets and you meander through the grounds before reaching the host/hostess station. My first reaction upon entering the grounds was that we had been transported to a tropical resort (thoughts of Hawaii, the Caribbean)... More

The food is very good and the atmosphere cannot be beat! It's right on the beach. You can get up from your table and walk on the beach to watch the beautiful sunset. Leslie at the bar was a delight and knows everything about Naples!

Turn lunch into a mini vacation!!! From the moment you pull up to the entrance of this quaint -and immaculate - old Florida resort, you know you have arrived at some, place special! Greeted by the smiles of the valets (complimentary, I know, how cool is that, complimentary!) who are gentlemanly, you then walk the manicured path to the restaurant... More

Yes, it's a one of a kind place to enjoy a wonderful lunch in the best setting. Your car will be valet parked for you while you wind your way to the back side of the building. We had a 30 minute wait, but spent it outside with a lovely drink. We were seated at a table with the best... More

This is one of my favorite places to watch the sunset and have an amazing meal. Oysters Turtlefeller are a must have. Make reservations in advance - it is always busy.

Love eating on the beach here. Excellent food and service. They don't take reservations for lunch, so we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table outside. There was no wait if we wanted to eat in the dining room.

Several times a year, my husband and I take an elderly friend to lunch at the Turtle Club. This is by far our favorite restaurant in the Naples area. We have always had excellent service, exceptional food and of course, the ambiance cannot be beat! Our last visit, our friend ordered the lobster tail/tenderloin lunch special. Her lobster tail was... More
