    Too expensive. The previous owner always had specials which we enjoyed.

    Everything about our experience at Amber Cove was excellent. The owner, Tim Herman, was there speaking to all the diners. Very hands on! The food was excellent (Grouper and salmon for main course and ahi tuna to start) as was the service. Definitely a first class experience and I hope that this can continue on a consistent basis. I wish this new restaurant the very best.

    We were a little skeptical. Quickly became fans. Tremendous service and treatment. Sea bass was very very good. The special (surf and surf) was also outstanding. Chocolate mousse dessert was amazing. Upscale, but worth it. Not one issue. Definitely worth checking out.
    Amber CoveResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Nancy, Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m so glad we were able to turn your initial skepticism into a memorable dining experience. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the sea bass, the surf & surf special, and the chocolate mousse finale, three of my favorites as well! We’re thrilled to have earned your trust and appreciation. Your kind words mean the world to our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Amber Cove again soon. Warm regards, Tim Herman

    We did the summer special. There were really only two options for the main meal. The sea bass has a $10 uncharge so the overall offering is a tad more than most summer promotions. The sea bass was very good, the salmon was not very good and the halibut was overcooked. The bread and service were excellent. It was a lot of money for an OK overall meal, for which we are sorry to report. We know it is new and the owner was around but there were so few people there that to send the food back seemed unkind. Hopefully they will get better.

    We had a fantastic dining experience! The ambiance is welcoming, we had a beautiful Chilean Sea Bass and poached lobster pasta , followed by scrumptious chocolate cake. They also have great selection of fine wine and spirits. Our staff was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    This was a fantastic experience ! From the moment we met the host we could see the pride in this restaurant. The owner, then greeted us explaining the menu and giving us a little history on the chef and the culinary choices. Our waitress Shannon was attentive and on point. The wagu meatball appetizer was awesome! I had the lobster linguini fantastic and my husband the salmon. He loved it! The chef checked on us himself, making sure we were more than satisfied. Our desserts were fabulous. Carrot cake and baklava cheesecake for the win! Oh yes and the wine selection outstanding. We made reservations for the next night as well. Highly recommended.

    Greeted graciously by the proprietor (Tim H) & attentively served throughout by Seth. My charred prawns were off the mark w/and over spiced sauce. Entree of slow cooked pork chop diito as the polenta was cool vs. the piping hot corn & pork chop, the latter ample in size but somewhat undercooked. My dining companion opted for the Ceaser salad accompanied by poached lobster (out of the shell) a tasty dish but somewhat ambitious price. Dessert of the dark chocolate mouse almost remied the former shortcomings. Considering the inn recently opened, the shortcomings will be corrected, but until than we were underwhelmed save the lovely ambience & excellent svc Allan H.

    Amber Cove is in the venue of the former KC American Grill. That said, the space has been completely refurbished in modern and subdued tones. The menu is new combining equal offerings of sea and land. I made a dinner of two appetizers: a crab-and-fishcake, and a sauteed soft-shell crab. Both items were delicately cooked. The chef created sauces and spice combinations for the dishes that were flavorful, piquant and complimentary to the items. There is a diverse wine list. While there are a few over-the-top priced bottles, most are at reasonable price-points. A pleasant surprise: most of the offerings are available by the glass. All-in-all a delightful dinner in a new venue. Naples is not short of lovely restaurants. Amber Cove is a wonderful new additions fit for any occasion, diurnal or special. Bon Appetite!
