About
What sets The Real Macaw apart is its French-Caribbean fine dining in a tropical garden setting, a rare combination in Naples. Featured in Bon Appétit and on the Food Network, this spot offers live jazz and R&B on weekends along with a relaxed happy hour vibe. The Bamboo Bar serves tropical cocktails and casual bites alongside the more formal Macaw Room.
Reservations are accepted, and the outdoor patio is dog-friendly. Hours run from 3pm nightly, closing between 9:30pm and 10pm depending on the day. It's a place where locals unwind and visitors get a taste of island life in South Florida.
