Seventh South Waterfront

Seventh South Waterfront is an American restaurant on Haldeman Creek in the Bayshore Arts District of East Naples. Its guiding idea is a chef and bartender collaboration, so the kitchen and bar work as partners. The cooking is billed as fresh and seasonal, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and a personal style of hospitality.

The kitchen is led by executive chef and managing partner Jay Schrednitz, a Naples native who spent more than a decade at the helm of two local seafood restaurants. President Barry Larkin and his wife Carolyn, who met in the restaurant industry, opened the place as a long-held dream, and the team has come through hurricanes, floods and a change of location. It suits diners who want a creekside meal where the drinks get as much attention as the plates.
