In a locale where luxury is the name of the game, it's no surprise that the chefs of Naples are elevating surf and turf to a high art. In addition to the haughtier fare offered at the city's world-class resorts, a fine assortment of upscale restaurants on trendy 3rd Street South and 5th Avenue South are turning heads with inventive dishes and hip atmospheres. For a more casual vibe, several restaurants and cafes at Tin City, an eccentric assortment of restored tin-topped waterfront warehouses, serve up burgers, salads and seafood in a rustic setting.

Roy's Hawaiian Fusion
475 Bay Front Place, Naples

Escape to a Hawaiian paradise through Chef Roy Yamaguchi's famous blending of European cooking techniques with fresh Asian and Pacific Rim ingredients. Not your typical dining experience, Fodor’s quoted this restaurant as being "multi-traditional dishes that seduce with the ease of a trade wind." Each evening, Roy 's presents a tantalizing range of appetizers, entrees, fresh fish dishes, and desserts. But don't let the name fool you, this establishment is not about typical Asian cuisine. Our employee's favorite selections include Auntie Lei's Aloha Roll, Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi, Hibachi Style Grilled Atlantic Salmon, and the Wood Grilled Szechwan Spiced Baby Back Ribs. If cocktails are your passion, you won't want to miss their signature Hawaiian Martini - stock full of fruity goodness and topped with a pineapple wedge soaked in vodka. No Roy 's experience would be complete without their Melting Chocolate Soufflé; a lava of rich chocolate, raspberries, and ice cream.
