We have always been loyal to Bistro 821 and have enjoyed our times there. Last night was crowded due to cold and everyone wanting inside tables. We always make a practice of going early to grab a drink at bar as it is a fun bar area. Last night my husband had gone to check in and I was standing at bar and the couple beside me left so I sat down and waited for my husband. I then was loudly informed by the bartender that “ that’s not how it works here” and that a couple had been waiting an hour for those two seats. I did not see anyone but they did the appear and I got up and apologized to the couple, after having been “ schooled” by the bartender. It was so unnecessary and rude! All he had to say was that there were two people waiting. I was left feeling I was trying to get away with something. He then heard me tell my husband and placed a sample of someone’s expresso martini in front of me w/ o saying anything. We went to our table but I was beyond embarrassed. The food was great, our table server was awesome and we enjoyed the rest of our evening, but my husband said not to reserve her again. My husband spoke to the manager after I went to valet and explained the event by a very rude and self-important bartender.

Always a favorite when we visit Naples! Our third visit and the food (and service) was one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Naples. So attentive and accommodating of our toddler too. We book an early dinner due to aforementioned toddler and the special is a great value too. Will be back!

As always, we had a wonderful dining experience at Bistro 821. Our favorite server, Danielle, was fun and friendly, provided just the right level of attentive service, and took great care to ensure an excellent experience for us. Our meals were flavorful and delicious. In addition, other members of staff and management visited our table. Thank you, Bistro 821, for another wonderful meal.
