Petar's Restaurant

Outstanding meal, service and overall experience. We sat at the counter and had multiple interactions with Petar and his chefs as they brilliantly prepared meals with precision. Started with 2 of their signature cocktails, excellent Caesar salad with housemade dressing and key west shrimp ceviche. Entrees of melt-off-the-bone short ribs and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Dessert of housemade crepe topped with fresh strawberries, bananas, whipped cream and chocolate. What a night!!

After two years in Naples, I’ve grown used to being disappointed by so-called “high-end” restaurants — pretty rooms, mediocre food, and service that never quite delivers. So when I was recommended to Petars for New Year’s Eve, I went in with guarded expectations. I was completely blown away. Having worked in fine dining for years, I know exactly what a well-run kitchen looks like — calm, confident, precise. At Petars, the chefs never missed a beat. No chaos, no stress — just flawless execution. The food was exceptional across the board. The crab cake was hands-down the best I’ve had in Naples: beautifully crisp on the outside, delicate and rich inside, letting the crab shine without unnecessary filler. The tripletail was cooked perfectly — moist, tender, and seasoned with a level of res

We haven’t been to Petar’s for a while and after our meal we are asking ourselves why? We brought a bottle of one of our favorite wines from home since the corking fee was extremely reasonable. We both started with the lobster bisque which was luxurious and perfectly balanced. I had the seafood pot pie special. This dish was comforting without muting the seafood and paired well with the warm golden crust. My husband had the pork belly and scallops. The scallops lightened the pork belly’s richness and the pork belly grounds the scallops delicacy. Great pairing! For dessert we shared the banana crepe which was the perfect finish to our meal. We will be back a lot sooner this time around!

Celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at this amazing restaurant. After taking in the sunset at Barefoot Beach, we drove a few minutes inland to this gem in a shopping plaza off Bonita Beach Road. We were the last searing inside with a great view of the open kitchen, but didn't feel rushed. Our table was decorated with hearts, and Jodie was given a bouquet of mini roses with a handwritten note of congratulations and blessings. What an awesome and thoughtful touch! Our night was started with a couple of delicious, craft cocktails (the Ginbiscus was our favorite), their take on a Caprese salad, and a tender Octopus appetizer special. What a wonderful beginning! For dinner, we were delighted with their Ahi Tuna special and signature housemade Wagyu lasagna that were perfectly paired

ATTENTION TO DETAIL …whether it’s the amazing food or personalized service, it’s my absolute favorite restaurant! Everything I’ve had there is delicious (I most often order the daily special and am never disappointed with Chef Petar’s preparation). Thank you for making our wedding anniversary meal special (again)!
