The 239 Naples

Upscale casual is how I would describe The 239 Naples. We got here when they opened at 11:30 and it filled up quickly! Terri was still in breakfast mode and ordered The 239 Breakfast with eggs, toast, bacon, and brussel potatoes...the bacon and brussels potatoes were top notch and the toast was a step up from the ordinary as well. She didn't let me try the eggs but they must've been good! The Double Burger I ordered was reportedly voted the best in SouthWest Florida so that's why I went with it...I can't say it was the best Burger I've ever eaten but I can probably say its probably the healthiest Double Burger I've ever eaten...with the reputation of The 239 being a farm to table, organic, healthy option establishment I'd wager it was. It was very good and I'd definitely order it again. T

Being our first time here I wasn't really sure what they had but knew we'd find something good to eat. Got seated right away outside at a 4 seat high top but should've been a 2 seater anyways we made it work! Even before our waiter got here another guy brought us out some popcorn. Kind of old but nice touch, Started out with the grouper bites and they were really tasty, fresh and came with tartar sauce however I think cocktail sauce might've been a better choice. Get them ! Everyone got the meatloaf , burger and coconut shrimp. The meatloaf was really good, huge size and only needed more gravy. The veggies were very good also. And the onion straws on top were a great addition. The burger was super ! Big, juicy and seasoned and cooked just right. The beef tallow fries were cooked perfectly

We used to absolutely love this place. We would even go out of our way to come here, and we live all the way in Punta Gorda. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day was a complete mess. It honestly felt like opening night — like nobody knew what was going on. We could hear a man with an earpiece, who appeared to be a manager, give away our food to another table. He was asking the couple behind us if the food was theirs, and we had to step in and say, “Hi, we also ordered that.” It was awkward and frustrating. Our waitress came by multiple times asking, “Oh, you didn’t get your food yet?” for dishes we were still waiting on. It just added to the confusion. We were seated directly in the sun. I completely understand reservations and busy holidays — I’ve worked at this exact restaurant before — but

Overall good experience. I have been there before, but sat at the bar this time. The main meals were good, but the dessert, beignets tasted a bit burnt. The bartenders were friendly, but we got our drinks from one & told him our food order. Then the other one came over & asked for our order..orders weren't put in from the 1st one. They seemed to be preoccupied with some regulars, so felt awkward but needed to interrupt their catching up for drink refills.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All 5 stars for this place! The food and service were excellent. We sat outside with our dog, and one of the waitresses kindly brought water for him, which was a really nice touch. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the owner. He was very friendly and polite and didn’t even want us—or anyone else—to know he was the owner, which says a lot about his character. Overall, great food and great service. Highly recommend The 239 at Mercato!
