The Claw Bar

Had an early dinner here with my hubby yesterday. The food was pretty good. We ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer which we found the cocktail sauce to be very different than what you would traditionally get. It had more of a peppery taste as opposed to the heat from horseradish. My husband didn’t like it, i thought it was fine, something different. I ordered the salmon with cauliflower risotto and he had the seafood mix thing, I forgot the name, it has shrimp, clams, fish, pork belly, and a lot of other seafood in it and rice. Almost like a jambalaya type dish. He said it was great. My food was amazing! The cauliflower risotto was soooo good and a little healthier. We also added lobster tails to our dish and they were sweet and tasty. We sat in a booth, it was comfortable and cozy, the bartender was generous with the pour on my champagne, that’s always a plus. This place is inside of a resort, it’s easy to miss the turn when coming but was worth the meal. Would definitely return for another meal. His dish was called the St Augustine Stew.

We LOVE the claw bar. Whether eating outside, inside or in the London Club. Food and service is great. One negative-don’t order the summer set menu special. Spend the extra $ amd order off the regular menu. Apps were good, mains were fair at best, dessert was poor. This is the only time I ever had a bad meal here. Otherwise LOVE!

We love The Claw Bar although they did take away some of our favorites like the seafood Pan Roast and Cioppino. That being said, we recently enjoyed the Summer Celebration menu. We tried the ceviche, street corn ceased, seafood BLT, crab cake frites and donuts for dessert:) Everything was excellent, looking forward to coming back for a seafood tower sometime soon!

We came here for Happy Hour and Dinner and generally enjoyed our experience. The happy hour deals are pretty good, especially for Naples. We ordered the Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters and Southern Special. The oysters were delicious. The star, to me, was the Fish dip paired with the pickles. The shrimp was honestly embarrassing- U16-20 at the largest and overcooked. I can't believe they normally charge $24 for that. Entrees were good - the filet and lobster were delicious. The grouper was okay - lacked acidity and the grouper was a touch overcooked and overseared. Service was excellent. If not for the shrimp and grouper, would be 5 stars for sure.

Fresh sweat amazing oysters! Just stopped in for an appetizer and drinks. The oysters were just absolutely tops. The pecan old fashioned was a very nice beverage to wash them down with. The menu looked amazing I hope next time I visit my dad we try more, but glad to experience it while I am here. Definitely a sophisticated location for unique dishes and high quality seafood.
