Riverwalk Restaurant

1200 5th Ave S Naples, FL 34102
One of the truly special things about the Suncoast is the amount of simply sublime dining options. One such treat in the beautiful city of Naples is the Riverwalk Restaurant. This mostly outside, right on the water, fresh seafood in a casual environment eatery is one you need to check out if you aren’t already a customer.
Dolphins entertaining those dining is mentioned more than once in online reviews, as you sit right out on the water in Collier Country, Florida. If you are heading out and need some light fare for your travels or workday – they can do that. Drinks with family finally able to visit from out of town, and you want to show them the best of the Suncoast – they definitely could fit the bill. No matter what the reason, if you love seafood, amazing lunch or dinner options, and a fun atmosphere Riverwalk Restaurant needs to be on your list of places to try!
