The bistro is always a great go to when you don’t have reservations at a moments notice. They seem to always get you in, and the service is great, we’ve had the same server numerous times, and he does a fabulous job. I always get the grilled prawns, and they are delicious.

In town on vacation. Bistro 821 was highly rated on OpenTable so we booked a reservation. I almost never say that a restaurant where 2 people spend $300 for dinner has 5 star value, but this place does. Incredible meal all around! Matthew - our server - was the 2nd best server I have ever seen. The best was me 40 years ago when I was serving tables to put myself through college. Matthew is highly attentive, can read the table, articulate & never asked us a question when our mouths were full of food. The ambiance is wonderful. It was (is) loud, but the place was full & at one point they were stacked 3 deep at the bar. So, the noise level is bound to be high. Whether visiting Naples or you live in Naples, Bistro 821 MUST be on you dinning list.

Always a wonderful eating experience here. Whether it be happy hour or table dining it has not disappointed us. Scallops cooked perfectly as was the salmon. The lobster tail is divine. The calamari appetizer was delicious on its own even without the two sauces provided. One spicy and one traditional. The small spinach salad was more than plentiful with a lovely warm bacon V/O dressing. Cudos Bistro 821.

Food and service was excellent. Unfortunately we were seated closest to the kitchen so no ambiance and the noise and foot traffic was annoying.

Service was exceptional! However, my filet Mignon was tough, potatoes uncooked and hard. Noise level off the charts, impossible to talk to person across a two top table. Used to be a favorite but tonight fell very short. The waitperson staff was working their butts off! Kudos to them.
