Blackbird Modern Asian - (Near Naples, FL)

4 /5 SFD68: We came Monday night (50% off all drinks all night and discounts on food too - I mention it because it added to the pleasant experience having great food without the feeling of being the object of a bank (restaurant) robbery). Food is excellent. We especially liked the starters. Main courses are good for sharing (large sizes). Cocktails are interesting and add to the idea that this restaurant is about making new discoveries. The service was just ok. The entrees came out with about 20 min intervals (we thus could not eat together - hence the idea of sharing what is in front of you, and I think this is the theme or mindset you want to bring - adds to the fun anyways). We had to ask constantly to get a water refill as our waiter was very busy and often “disappeared” (we would have also ordered more of the fine cocktails if we had the chance) . Maybe they were under-staffed. Overall: great evening. Food outstanding . Noise level: high. Free Valet parking.

5 /5 Edwin Sical: We finally made it to Blackbird and it absolutely delivered. This is my favorite kind of restaurant and Blackbird is right up there with some of my favorites. The location is spectacular, right on the marina of the Naples Bay Resort. And the inside was such a beautiful aesthetic. We were seated right under the Japanese cherry blossom tree and I knew we were for an amazing meal. Highly recommend coming during happy hour like we did. Half price cocktails and deals on their apps. We couldn’t decide what we wanted but we ultimately landed on the spicy pork wontons, short rib and bone marrow dumplings and the Thai beef jerky. They were all delicious. My favorite being the dumplings. The beautifully rendered short rib with the fattiness of the bone marrow is right up my alley. The accompanying sauce made for a perfect bite. My wife cannot resist a skirt steak on any menu and I’m so glad she suggested getting the skirt steak lo mein. Such a rich and decadent dish. The skirt steak was literally perfect and the kimchi hoisin sauce mixed into the lo mein was otherworldly. Perhaps one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. I think we could’ve had another plate of it. We washed it all down with a Confucius Says for her and a Kill Bill for me. The Kill Bill was a sort of smoky mezcal sour that I could’ve sipped on all night. I cannot wait to come back here. I literally said out loud to my wife, I think I want to celebrate my next birthday here. Truly a special experience I want to share with all my friends.

5 /5 Chris Hughes: AMAZING!!! Finally Naples has an amazing Asian inspired restaurant. The place is family style which is a nice change of pace, which the portions reflect. The food was classic themed with modern twists. Highly recommend the wonton soup, and the peking duck both dishes were to die for. Our waitress was absolutely amazing also, very friendly and attentive. I recommend making reservations because the place was slamming busy on a Thursday. 100% check it on new time youre in Naples!

5 /5 Jack Gascoine: A truly amazing experience from start to finish!! We dined here as guests of the Naples Marina Resort and it did not disappoint! Our hostess was friendly, welcoming, and explained the menu and dining to us in detail. The drinks were incredible, we ordered a Blackbird Cocktail and Sake. For food we had the duck fried rice and orange chicken, and it came well presented, hot and it tasted delicious!! The dessert went the extra mile- we ordered ‘Year of the Snake’ and it was safely lit on fire to add to the effect. Please do not miss the place if you are staying in Naples and are looking for exquisite Asian cuisine dining.

5 /5 Ham burglar: Trust me, they dont need my 5 Star Review..this place has the traffic, this place has the goods ! The goods? Ill explain : for one, The menu is dynamite and nothing we tried was below " Delicious ". And we tried alot. The service was absolutely dynamite and our server Angie was the one to deliver that dose of TNT . When you combine delicious food with out-of-this-earth-service you get this place : One Hell of a restaurant! Angie was attentive but in the best way possible. She knew the job and she executed it with such precise detail that I almost shed a tear ( for the sheer beauty of her timing alone ). Well be back. And btw, dont come here if youre cheap. Tip the server, the hostess and than your valet!
