Ambience was great and enjoyed a delicious meal. Leslie was especially helpful with the wine options. Also, the dish she recommended was exceptional. Will go back again.
Went here for the first time and couldn't have been better. The service was amazing and truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
Incredible ambiance with amazing food. Went after seeing the Sat. matinee of Dial M for Murder at the Gulfshore Playhouse, which was great too. Had mahi mahi in a mango crème sauce served with warm johnncakes as the bread. The chef is from the west indies and all dishes have a delicious tropical flare. The band "Lords of Bayshore" started early and played 70's era music. This is our first dinner and second happy hour. It's a gem.
My family and I and a friend went to this restaurant last night. We were seated outside the patio with a heat lamp. The outside patio is beautiful. There was live music which is great. My parents and I ordered the French onion soup. It was the best French onion soup that I have ever had! It wasn't too salty which is a plus. My mom and I ordered the portobello tower and it was so good! My family friend ordered the salmon and said that was delicious. My mom, my family friend ordered red wine and it was so good. The waiter was so nice and friendly. I would give this place a 9 out of 10.
There last night for the first time. Enjoyed it a lot. From the hostess on seating, to the room where we dined indoors, the casual elegant feeling and ambiance to of course the food and the entertainment for the evening. It was great!!! Especially all the staff here at the restaurant. It was always a pleasure. Our server was Kristine and she was the best She was very professional, personable and helpful with the menu's choices. Two complimentary sugarless beignets in place of bread was placed on the table with a semi sweet side of butter. Enjoyed that. The generous House salad my wife chose was ok. I put some of those lettuce leaves in my Burrata appetizer and THAT was great. The Burrata was the freshest and creamiest. Scooped up a lot of that oil base with the beignets. Enjoyed that immensely. Here is the link for the dinner menu. After opening, scroll down till seeing DINNER MENU. https://www.therealmacaw.com/menus Our entrees: I chose the Curried Chicken and enjoyed that. Unlike Indian style curry, this is more of a Caribbean flavor. Enjoyed it a lot. She chose the Three Nut encrusted salmon. Said it was good, not her fave. I tasted it and agreed. There's a lot on the menu I'm ready to taste as I've also saw all the plates being passed. We didn't have dessert just freshly brewed decaf coffee. Enjoy your time here. The music is from 7-10pm a break in between.
If you're looking for a tropical night out, TRM is it! From the indoor-outdoor seating, to the island themed decor and food, we enjoyed our dinner from start to finish. I had their signature key lime pie martini which surprisingly wasn't too sweet, but very strong. Next up were the appetizers: calamari, crab cakes, and French onion soup. The crab cakes are a must order-- crisp, flavorful, and full of crab. For dinner I had the curried chicken which was a nice mix up to a classic chicken and rice dinner. However, the mahi special was the star. With poached mahi covered in a crawfish etouffee, this special blew us away. The service was quick and kind. Be sure to check out TRM next time you're in Naples!
