If you are still looking to make dinner plans for Tuesday, here are some romantic restaurants in Naples for Valentine's Day. The city really does have some amazing places to dine. Each one with different personalities. There are chic spots, ethnically diverse restaurants, waterfront locations and more.
Speaking of waterfront, Hurricane Ian did cause damage to many of Naples waterfront places. Baleen, for instance, is always a beachfront favorite. However, the restaurant at La Playa Beach and Golf is still closed. In addition, some restaurants that were not on the water, but just off, also sustained damage. Thankfully, most have opened their doors and are ready to host you for Valentines.
Romantic Restaurants in Naples
Everyone has a different opinion on romance. The Vine Room on Fifth Avenue South has this great vintage vibe. The cocktails are great, and the cheese cart they roll to your table is super cool. In addition, it is like a speakeasy which is also fun if you are on a date.
For romantic restaurants in the Fort Myers area, here are a few suggestions. If you have not made reservations yet, pick up the phone as soon as possible. Many places are already booked and have been for weeks. Don't get mad at the person answering the phone if they can't get you in. There are lots of options so keep trying.
Finally, if you can't get a seat at your favorite spot, that is OK. You can make any place you dine in romantic. Slide a sweet card across the table, play footsies underneath it. Just because tomorrow is Valentine's Day does not mean you have to celebrate then. Postpone the reservation for a night. In the meantime, here are a few romantic restaurants in Naples for Valentine's Day.
The Bayhouse
The Bayhouse has so many different, cozy vibes. There is a formal dining room, porch seating, garden and bar areas. It's on the Cocohatchee River in North Naples so there is a waterfront view too.
