A Table Apart Restaurant

Our first experience here and it was great. We had the mushroom appetizer, seafood bisque, the triple tail and the pork chops. It was all flavorful and cooked well. Our server was great and we really enjoyed our time!

What a fantastic dining experience! From the rustic charm of the building to the elegant table settings, A Table Apart brings a very high-class atmosphere. Each dish was balanced, flavorful, and had top-notch eye appeal. The service, staff and overall quality of the night was outstanding! I would highly recommend eating here for a very satisfying dinner. 👌

As a local to Southwest Florida, A Table Apart is a wonderful part of our community. Focused on sustainable, wild caught, and grass fed meats. The chef also sources all produce locally from organic farms. Everything on the menu is made from scratch and very fresh. My husband and I enjoyed our most recent trip to A Table Apart. Everything from the mushroom appetizer with ten types of mushrooms to my husband’s Caesar salad with a generous piece of bacon was amazing. The only thing we will say is that the mushroom appetizer was a little too salty. I ordered the Roasted Portabella Montrachet salad with the roasted half chicken. The goat cheese and toasted pine nuts were amazing. My husband ordered the short rib which was very delicious. We enjoy this local gem and highly recommend.

We had a very disappointing experience and will not be back. While the staff was very attentive and friendly, the food was incredibly salty, to a degree that we couldn’t even finish any of the courses of the $45 3-course meal we ordered. My friend and I each tried three different dishes, and all were not good. While the prawns and huli huli pork were well cooked, her sauce was too sweet and the prawns were too salty. Same for my pork. My main course was the mahi mahi, which was perfectly cooked and very tender, but again so salty that I could not finish it. The potato cake it came with lacked flavor, other than salt, and looked very unappetizing. My friend’s meal was pretty looking and well cooked but too salty. Her vegan ice cream sundae was fine except for the whipped topping which she did not eat. My taro dessert was very sweet and tasted fine, but I’m not sure what those cubes were and they didn’t add anything to the dish. Perhaps its our lack of familiarity with Hawaiian traditions, but I’m pretty sure this kind of salt level is not part of it. We ended the night with a $150 bill, which included three glasses of wine. Considering the dated and tacky ambiance, and the $25-$37 prices prices per dish, I would not recommend this restaurant. Their website gives a very different impression from what it is really like.

A Table Apart is near my daughter’s salon “Rootz Salon” and having been wanting to to restaurant ….. it is amazing food. The four of us tasted each others food and I still cannot tell you which was better. Exceptional….. great hostess and server too!! We’ll be back!!! Jarrod the owner is exceptional❤️❤️❤️

I really loved the food, it was so fresh amazing flavors and great taste.It is one of my favorite places that I have eaten in entire US . The cocktail was amazing as well ! Thanks to the entire team for such a great experience!

This was a very lively and busy restaurant. We were there with a birthday party. They only assigned one waiter to tend to two tables of 7 at the same time. He did the best he could but it was not ideal for us. One table was eating their appetizers while the other table had yet to get their bread and butter. The food experience was ok. Ambiance was ok.

The presentation of the food is excellent, ambience is quiet and peaceful, and the food is EXTREAORDINARY! Truly one of the topes in Ft. Myers Beach/Bonita Beach area. We have been visiting for 35 years and this is among the VERY BEST! Service was excellent and we liked Chris's kind and calm demeanor. We felt like we were in Europe! Marvelous.

Hidden gem! Looking for a place to eat and happened upon A Table Apart. We didn't have a reservation (you need a reservation) but the hostess suggested the bar if we wanted to eat. I'm so glad we stayed. The bartender, Ashley, was very personable and we enjoyed having her take care of us during our meal. My husband had the Glazed Pork chop and I had the Organic Salmon. The pork chop was tender and juicy. Cooked perfectly. My salmon was absolutely delicious. Ashley mentioned that the chef works 6 nights a week in order to make sure everything was perfect in the kitchen. He succeeded with our meal. My husband also had the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert. All desserts are homemade. He ate very bite of that. We will definitely make a return trip to that restaurant. Oh, and the dress code is above casual.

Disappointed and embarrassed. Following a good experience several months ago we were excited about introducing this restaurant to our friends . Sadly we were disappointed and embarrassed . The waiter seemed unprofessional and although the menu read well the execution was mediocre at best . Preparation and presentation was sorely uninspired. It was like no one really cared in the kitchen . Won't go back . Three star rating was generous.

The food was amazing! It's clear the chef put a lot of thought and creativity into his dishes. Too bad the staff is completely ignorant about the menu. When I asked questions about the menu, our server told me to read the description written on the menu. The food runner had no clue what she was serving us when I asked what the accompaniment was for the appetizer. She laughed and said " I don't know". We had smoked lion fish dip and I asked the server if they smoked it in house. He said no we buy it from a place down the street.

We're from Denver Colorado and went in for a romantic dinner date. I highly recommend making this a priority visit. Our waiter Chris was knowledgeable and helpful with wine and food selections. Definitely ask for his section!

What a hidden gem! Great service and delicious food. Very varied menu, we have to go back to try other entrees! I had the duck leg confit after enjoying the best grilled octopus I have ever had. My husband had the Triple Tail with the 10 mushroom appetizer. We ordered a bottle of Caparzo Brunello that is always good. It was at a fair price. We highly recommend this restaurant for a great "date night"!

I think every restaurant have dishes that work and dishes that should be modified / removed from the menu. I'll start with the not so great - the appetizer Hong Kong XO sauce octopus is served on a fajita platter with chunks of red cabbage. The sauce is sickly sweet and burned on the hot iron pan. The smoke overpowered the smoke alarm so we got a smoke and sound show. I'm embarrassed this is called Hong Kong XO sauce as this dish is not. Chef - there's a new dim sum spot by the airport that serves XO sauce with rolled rice noodles. Please go try this dried scallop, dried shrimp, Chinese ham, shallots, shallots, garlic, chilis - no sugar!!! The octopus is nicely cooked but completely ruined by the sweet burnt sauce. Probably won't order this again. Now the really wonderful! The Cajun Pan Seared Scallops made with 4 Day Boat U-10 Diver Scallops, Creole Seasoning, Crawfish Risotto with Charred Corn & Mushroom Etouffee Sauce is one of the most delectable bite of food I've tasted in a while. It's creamy and rich in flavor but the sweetness of the corn brightens the dish. The whole fried yellow snapper was also very good. I didn't mind the bones or eating every body part. The eyeballs were a little fishy but the rest of the fish was delish. This is more of a personal taste, but the red vinegar wasn't that great. I'd suggest a ginger/scallion Chinese soy/oil dressing vs the vinegar with rice vs the soba noodles. Overall, a delightful meal and can't wait to try other dishes!!

A hidden Gem in Bonita Springs. Every single dish we tried was delicious. The Dick Bao Buns, The Pommes Frites, the short rib and the bread pudding were all amazing. Service was great and super fast, Id definitely recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a great place to eat.

Would not recommend for anyone with food allergies. Three errors out of six of us: two gluten and one dairy allergy. We are very clear with our instructions as we've been dealing with these allergies for years. This was the most egregious experience we've ever had. On a more positive note, our waiter was good, the mussels were very good and the manager was responsive to our poor experience.

Hmm. Used to be my favorite place in the area, but my recent experience wasn't great. I think they forgot our order, and when it was served almost an hour later, it was cold. Every place has an off night, and I guess this was theirs.

The pan seared scallops were the absolute best scallops I've had in SW FL! The service was amazing! They were able to handle a party of 8 flawlessly.

Love this place when we visit Naples. Always great food and service in a tranquil setting. I always get the grilled pork chop and my wife gets the sh

We've been coming to the area since the 70s. This place used to stand out for closing early and having limited days of operation...BUT as things have changed due to Covid, and Ian, this restaurant is INSANE!! It's absolutely delicious!! This place is our new #1 restaurant

STILL EXCELLENT We had a wonderful dinner here, starting with the French Escargots served in the customary butter-laden way, but quite nice. We also had a side order of Pommes Frites with Truffle Oil; they were excellent. For our entrées, my wife had the Short Rib Beef & Broccoli. I had the Crispy Fried Whole Yellowtail Snapper with Soba Noodle Salad. The fish, though rather bland, was perfectly prepared and presented and the accompanying soba noodles were a perfect touch. The ambiance was welcoming, quiet, & pleasant and the service was spot on. Their business seemed to be good though was a Tuesday evening. A delightful meal. Location, Food, Service, Value, & Ambiance/Décor all rate a full 5 stars!

We had dinner here Friday night. Again, this restaurant never ceases to amaze us and how outstanding it is. My wife loves the triple tail, and I had the rack of lamb for the first time which was outstanding. Our friends loved the restaurant and called the triple tail one of the best meals they've ever had. We highly recommend this restaurant and love this place.

Outstanding service and extraordinary food. Highly recommended . Menu offers versatile selections artistically presented.

We made the server aware of our Gluten(Celiac Disese) and Dairy allergy and he reassured us we'd be taken care of with care. The first course (mussels) had bread sitting on top of the meal. They put cheese ontop of our salad despite informing them of our dairy intolerance and to remove it when we ordered. Our GF dinner came with French fries on the same plate, and they weren't gluten free. Clearly the back of the house/kitchen does not take care or pride in serving safe meals. This is not okay and people need to be aware that this is NOT an allergy friendly restaurant.

Went here recently. Service was excellent. Forgot our servers name. Sorry but he was very attentive and proactive. The ambiance is casual but neat. We went with a large group and everyone was happy with their entrees. I started with a Cesar salad. Which was tasty but I cannot remember what I ate. But I was too full for dessert. Sorry about that. The table had a variety of dishes such as pastas and chicken. No complaints from anyone. They do not have a full service bar. They offer wines. All and all I would recommend.

First time here. Our server FERNANDA was the best. Very helpful with all our questions on the menu. We asked her recommendations. She's very personable and professional. Thanks again Fernanda. We all enjoyed what we ordered but I think a bit pricey for what you get. Everything was done nicely and was good but whatever we had I liked better in our other fave places for the same thing. I think it's overrated. Don't know if we'll return, but glad to have finally made it here on a recommendation. The bowl of soup was worth it, but the entrees I felt were $10 more than what it should have been. Based on my other places. But again, although a mixed review, we did enjoy it. A great once place for us. Had 6:30 reservations and was grateful not to be rushed and no need to worry about leaving. We were there till 8:45.

This restaurant has been on my "local list" for quite a while and it was a great treat to go with friends from out of town! PLUS, making a reservation online via their website was very easy and very efficient. And yes, you do need a reservation, it's a popular spot. We started off ordering a nice Chardonnay since we all decided on fish for dinner. Wine selections are quite nice and they do have a small section with reduced bottle prices. Starters and "snacks" have a place on the menu. We ordered the Filipino escargot from the starters section and calamari off the snacks section. Both were ample for sharing and both very tasty. Calamari was crispy and included rings and tentacles The Filipino escargot is a must! They were not the traditional French preparation but cooked in coconut milk, adobe chili, shallots and if I had to guess, Sherry. Absolutely divine! Served with thin toasted crostini and a nice cold eggplant salad. We can't forget the wonderful hot bread basket; crunch on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The entrees we picked were scallops with a crawfish risotto, whole fried snapper with soba noodles and triple tail with steamed rice, asparagus and aioli. Every entree was plated beautifully, cooked perfect and ample in portion. We would all order these items again. We did pass on dessert, although our waiter Robert did persuade us to get an after dinner espresso. Excellent end to a wonderful meal. Ambience is a laid back tropical vibe but not kitschy or gaudy. Extensive menu if you don't like seafood; think pork chops, veal, lamb, vegetarian. Service was perfect, Robert didn't rush us, was professional but not stuffy and was extremely efficient. Hostess was awesome, cleared tables and helped the wait staff. This will be a regular on our dine-out list!

Fabulous Meal Best Salmon in Naples Area We had a large group that visited A Table Apart. Jarrod Davis chef and co-owner is a magician. The Blackened Organic Salmon & Citrus Salmon Céviche, Yuzu Beurre Blanc, Sautéed Organic Spinach and side of Furikake Rice was stunning, it's the best salmon I have eaten in Naples area. The starter was a solid wedge Crisp Ice Berg Lettuce, Bacon, Tomato, Pickled Red Onion, Keawe Smoked Blue Cheese, Blue Cheese Dressing. There is a prix fixe menu which is an incredible deal. It's a cozy place, warm interior and subdued lighting. The service was spectacular, very knowledgeable staff and very engaging and prompt. This is a total hidden gem you must try. The whole fried red snapper and short ribs were spectacular.

I was on the beach in the afternoon with my girlfriend, and we were really hungry. So naturally I turned to Yelp for the best place with the highest stars in reviews. This led me to A Table Apart. Little did I know that this was a fine dining restaurant, while wearing a bathing suit and a short sleeved t-shirt. My girlfriend and I did not feel judged ONCE by the staff and we were treated with the same respect as the other customers. The ladies in the front were able to fit us in without a reservation, one of them seemed to be a manager too. Both pleasant people to be at the front of the restaurant. Our waiter Robert was top notch in explaining everything about the menu, and asked all the right questions to better understand our likes and if we dined here before or not. The pomme frites were AMAZING, the sauce was so unique! If I was to identify one thing that wasn't so good about the experience, it would be that my grouper came out lukewarm to chill, like it had been sitting for a few more minutes longer than it should have. I'm not turned away by that though, I would go back in a heartbeat because this restaurant is filled with top notch employees that make you feel welcomed, and I enjoyed how the inside of the restaurant was decorated. My fish may have been a bit on the chilly side, but it was still tasty like the rest of the food!! My girlfriend really enjoyed her vegan dish as well! She and I will definitely recommend this restaurant and hold onto this memorable experience for years to come! Thank you Chef and Staff of A Table Apart, way to give 110% tonight. You all were working very hard and deserve all the credit for being the best you possibly could be. I look forward to dining with you again in the future!

Took Dad here for bday, good special occasion spot. It was pouring rain all day and evening and this place was still packed! Good sign, warm inviting ambiance inside. Server was knowledgeable yet personable, polite and attentive. Food and wine delicious. Complimentary warm bread and butter, always a wonderful start. Mushroom salad, BIG rack of lamb. Super fresh and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Homemade carrot was a lovely generous portion cake was fresh and moist, but the icing had started to harden (the only downfall). I def recommend!

We love this place! Every time we are in town we have to do a dinner here. Love their seasonal menus. Fresh and extremely tastey. The service is always fantastic from attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant is cozy. Could use a bit of updating, but once you have dinner here you won't much care about the outdated paintings Order the triple tail and share the bread pudding for dessert. You'll thank me!

4 of us went to dinner. 1/2 LOVED it and the other half were meh. We've been before and it was amazing. Hoping it was just an off night. Service was good.

Four star food. Five star service. Three star ambience. The triple tail fish, and the short ribs are both very tasty. My wife and I have had both entrées there on several occasions and were never disappointed.

Mushroom Top Ten - snack So amazing. You must try this. Food is fantastic, service was excellent, experience was top notch. A Bonita gem.

Food is excellent. A bit pricey but worth it. Would definitely go back. Service was very good.

A table apart is unassuming from the parking lot but everything inside is perfect. The food and service are always exceptional. I recommend people trust my opinion and come here sight unseen - so far I've only received rave reviews back. The chicken, mushrooms, burrata, soup, bread...literally everything is great.

A few others SWFL Elites raved about this place in their reviews, and I've had it bookmarked for a while, but I just FINALLY made a visit with family. We called to make a reservation for 7 and were easily accommodated, but I'd recommend a reservation during season. It was packed when we arrived at 6pm, but empty by the time we left at 8pm. I asked her server for the best items on the menu and she suggested a few things, but she shared the Triple Tail was their best known dish. Almost our entire table got the Triple Tail, and silence fell over the table as we took our first bites. We basically licked our plates clean. The menu is very friendly to gluten free, vegetarians and other dietary restrictions. Can't wait to head back here for more Triple Tail!

This place has been on my bookmark for the past year. The menu is very unique and I am an adventurous eater so we had to try it. The restaurant is very small, but you can tell they focus on customer service because they had multiple servers for the tiny restaurant. We ordered off the pre fixe menu. We split the calamari. I had a pear salad with gargonzola and pecans and then we each picked an entree. I got their specialty an entire fried snapper. The calamari and salad were just average. Nothing unique or special. The whole fried snapper was absolutely divine. It was unique and spiced perfectly. Definitely 5 star dish. We also ordered their specialty pie which was also different but good. We had a lovely experience and everything was good, but the fish was the only thing blew me away.

Very disappointed in this place. We looked up the menu ahead of time, and the blue crab Mac n cheese caught my attention, so we decided to try it. I was beyond disappointed when it made it to the table. There was no "cheese" in it believe it or not, it was just crab with pasta shells dripping in oil. Oil was everywhere. It was so disgusting I couldn't even eat it. Service was so-so, wasn't terrible but wasn't amazing either. It's very crammed inside the restaurant and loud. We were looking to go somewhere outside the box, but unfortunately this was not the right choice.

Great food! Dave was our host for the night and he may actually be my favorite server ever! Thanks for an amazing birthday dinner!!!

So unhappy, sat at a table not "apart" from anyone,actually with people at the bar right up next to our table. However, that was not the worst. The service was the worst. I cannot express how bad the service was. The bartender was our waiter. That can work most times if they're not in the weeds. However, he was, or maybe not, and just didn't care. Don't know, and I don't care, all I wanted was a good meal and that did not happen.

Best meal of 2023 and it's mid-December! I had the Organic 2 Way Salmon. My wife enjoyed the Triple Tail. Both had a nice presentation, very ample portion, and tasted excellent.

Our waitress was friendly and very informative. Grilled pork chop paired with the Pear Salad was excellent. Scallops were prepared perfectly with charred corn. We definitely will be going back

If you read my previous 5 star reviews below, you can tell that I really liked this restaurant. We started dining here more than a decade ago. When Jeff was chef/owner there was a je ne sais quoi, some kind of unnamable quality that made A Table Apart extraordinary. Certainly it was due to Jeff's unique menu and culinary skills. But, in addition, the servers (like Joshua) were there for years and seemed as invested in the success of this eatery as the couple who owned it. Jared learned from Jeff and took over a couple of years ago. He presents Jeff's creations, generally pretty well. However, the limited menu never changes. In fact, it has become uninteresting, even boring. Jared seems to be just coasting along on Jeff's reputation. A Table Apart attracts the millionaire Cafe Society crowd. Ordinary people like us, who drive a Honda from Naples Park, look for dining deals. The free Spotlight magazine always has a coupon for a discount at A Table Apart. A few years ago, one could get a free bottle of house wine (using coupon) when ordering two entrees from the Prix Fixe menu (available 5 to 6 pm); now, one can get 50% off a bottle of wine. We made a reservation and were first patrons to arrive about 505 pm last evening. Our supercilious waitress seemed unhappy to be waiting on tables. I chose a $36 bottle of Pinot Gris to cost $18 with coupon. We ordered the Eggplant Caponata to share and each had a pear salad. These were OK, but not extraordinary. Now, none of the three choices on the Prix Fixe menu at $39. appealed to us. Thus, we chose entrees with additional "UP" charges. These dinners were OK, but way overpriced. We had Scallops @ $39 +3 = $42. And Prawn Curry @ $39 + 4 = $43. When my dinner arrived with 3 prawn, I pointed out to the waitress that I have previously had this dish and been served 4 prawn. I offered to show her the photo from my older review - see below, but she was uninterested and argued that the dish comes with 3 prawn (she admitted that she has been working here about a month). A comparable meal at a great Indian restaurant like Spice Club would cost about $22. (half this price). The final coup de grace was when the bill came (see photo). This is supposed to be fine dining, not fast food. But we were bum rushed in less than one hour (gotta clean this table quick for new customers). Moreover, the waitress had not deducted the 50% from the bottle of wine, although I discussed the offer and gave her the coupon when ordering the wine. So, I paid $135. cash and told her that $18. of her tip can come when she corrects the wine price. I have A Table Apart dining card, for discounts after several meals, but I did not even bother to present this card. Because we are finished with this restaurant. We ate last week at Wyld's Cafe, which is literally about 100 feet away from A Table Apart. I heartily recommend that restaurant: better food, better ambiance, better service (and with an early dining coupon costing about $35. less).

Nice place. Only beer wine no hard alcohol. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. We had appetizer pomme frites. They were good. Salmon 2 ways, 1/2 chicken, triple tail, and pork chop dinners were fantastic. Good meals!! Good food! Nice wait staff

I went with a group of friends and everything that was ordered was fantastically delicious. The service was fantastic as well, very attentive to our needs and questions and provided great recommendations based on our likes. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu.

This a local place in Bonita springs. I called and made a reservation and were seated quickly. The staff were polite and friendly. They have limited outdoor seating. Coming to the food, it was not super great. We got the 1. Shrimp and Lobster pasta (4/5) 2. Kerala prawn curry (3.5/5) not the typical Kerala curry though. 3. Thai style fried calamari (4/5) it just the sauce is little Thai inspired but nothing special again. 4. Chorizo Mejillones (4/5). They do not have any cocktails at all. Only beer or wine. Our the price I would expect a better taste and flavor to our dishes.

4.5 stars As other reviewers have noted, reservations are a must (at least during peak season) My mom and I were able to score two seats at the bar about 2 hrs beforehand. I was fine with that! Parking isn't great. We were forced into the private lot next door behind a small strip mall. When we walked in, we were seated immediately! The waiter didn't offer us drinks right away. This was the only blip in service. Another couple sat down at the same time so perhaps he was a bit confused. Overall, he was friendly and prompt. I heard rave reviews on Yelp about the Triple Tail and Pear salad, so that's what I ordered. I also tried the Quail appetizer special, which was a wonderful start. The blue cheese on the Pear salad was amazing! Other than that, it's really just a salad. The Triple tail was cooked perfectly, but most of the flavor came from the sauce rather than the fish itself. I wasn't blown away by this dish, but it was good. Perhaps my expectations were a bit high. My mom loved her Salmon: Two ways (ceviche on top of a salmon filet). I tried the ceviche- it was good! Somehow we found room for dessert. We tried the Chocolate Chip bread pudding which seems to be a recurring special there. I'm glad I did - it was scrumptious for sure. I would definitely go back!

We happened to be around the corner buying a few things and this place had a good looking menu. Let me tell you ... it was the best !!! The service. The food. The dessert. O m G. You must try this place. I can't wait for next weeks date night. We're going back.!!

This is a great up-scale place. The food was delicious but overpriced. I had the free range half chicken but subbed the mashed for grilled veg. The kitchen served up my meal with mash, but our waitress quickly corrected the problem. The chicken was juicy, tender, and probably the best I've had out. Hubby had the shrimp and lobster pasta. It was tasty but 47$ for a pasta dish with 6 pieces of seafood hardly seams worth it. Plenty of gluten free options and most of the food is sourced local and/or organic - always a plus in my opinion. Overall the service was friendly and the place clean, but I'd save this for a special dinner out and not a place for the whole family if on a budget.

Absolutely delicious. This small privately owned restaurant delivered tonight. The pear salad was delightful and balanced. My husband is still talking about the triple tail. He was delicious as I am very picky with my fish. The pork chop was hearty and yummy. The special dessert was a pecan pie which was served cold. It was good but very sweet. The Kona coffee was hot and fresh. We will be back!

Consistently good year after year and maybe better. Menu is focused and dishes are all done perfectly. Calamari is cooked perfect, wine and beer selection is very good, and the fish dishes are delicious. Easily one of the best places in the area. Hard to keep that level up but they seem to have that down.

If what you're looking for is simply a great meal based on the food itself, then this restaurant would deserve at least four stars. When my partner and two others went for dinner two nights ago on a Saturday evening, we all agreed that the food was fantastic. Two of us started with the Roasted Portabella Montrachet, one had the Pear Salad, and another had a Caponata starter that doesn't seem to be on the website's menu. Neither one of us went for the evening's "special" filet, which we could have had for $64. Instead, for our entrees, three of us followed the suggestion of numerous positive reviewers as well as the first suggestion of our server -- and we went with the Triple Tail Aioli. For dessert, we shared two orders of the Ghirardelli White and Dark Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding, which was truly wonderful. I also had a double espresso, which was disappointingly lukewarm and was served plain (i.e. no sweetener, no lemon twist, no mini-biscotti garnish one would expect from a fine-dining restaurant). Again ... no complaints at all about the food. Why, then only 3 stars? Because of the price. The cost (including tip) for two of us (which admittedly did include one bottle of wine, albeit the least expensive on the menu) was over $100 per person. We're not opposed to dropping such an amount (or more) for an exceptional, memorable dining experience. We've done it before and no doubt will do it again. But those times were truly "an experience." In addition to great food -- which is the starting point and the sine qua non for such an evening -- there must also be something extra which makes the experience stand out. Perhaps it's the ambience or the service or the little extras (e.g. an amuse bouche from the chef?) that could have improved the evening? Maybe it's the hosts or owners or chef stopping by to engage their customers and personalize the experience? Any of these could have have earned another star in my book, but unfortunately they were absent. And so I'll end as I started: If you want a delicious and well-prepared meal, A Table Apart is worth a visit, especially if cost is no concern. In my book, however, the menu is over-priced, so this is a place we won't be returning to any time soon.

Near the end of our trip, we returned to exotic Bonita Beach Road to try A Table Apart. Again the location is drab and pedestrian. It is a stand alone building set amidst dreary strip malls. The interior is slightly above Wyld's but not on the same planet with any 5th Avenue spot. Luckily the food is great. I had tripletail and my wife had prawns. This tripletail is the speciality of the restaurant and it is fantastic-- be sure you get it! And it was accompanied by a chardonnay I had not had before and I loved it--Aviary. You might want to try that also. So of the Bonita finer dining options, I would lean toward A Table Apart. I want to go back for more tripletail!

I had the best filet mignon ever! Came with the most delicious portobello mushroom. Great wine, great service and the best food.

Incredible! Each item in the dish tasted fantastic. Top grade food quality. Worth the trip to Bonita Springs.

Sat outside (Covid safe), service perfect and friendly, seating comfortable. Each dish was better than the next. Highlights: the mixed mushrooms were a delight as an appetizer but share with someone having the pear salad; rack of lamb was perhaps the best I've ever had - Asian flavored but not overpowering; pasta bolognese very flavorful; short ribs delish. I can't wait to return!
