Aqua North Naples

Aqua North Naples is the Immokalee Road location of Aqua, a restaurant group that opened on historic 5th Avenue in 2011 and has since grown to four locations. The kitchen centres on Mediterranean-inspired seafood and steaks, with grain- and grass-fed beef from A Cut Above Butcher. The group's menu runs from grilled Mediterranean octopus and P.E.I. mussels in fennel broth to miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, plus whole fish such as branzino or Dover sole de-boned tableside.

A raw bar shucks oysters and clams to order, and the bar mixes handcrafted cocktails and martinis, including the house Aquatini with blueberry vodka and blue curaçao. Live music is part of the Aqua experience. The restaurant suits a romantic dinner, a business meeting or a celebration with friends, and it also hosts private events such as birthdays and rehearsal dinners.
