Naples Grande Restaurant Guide by Venue
Aura Restaurant
Aura is the anchor dining venue at Naples Grande and the only restaurant on property that serves both a full breakfast and an upscale dinner. Located in the resort lobby, the space balances coastal elegance with a warm, approachable feel — think dark wood, neutral tones, and a view of the tropical grounds.
Breakfast at Aura leans upscale. This is not a standard hotel buffet. The lobster benedict ($29) and short rib hash ($24) are signature items, and the lobster omelet ($26) is one of the more indulgent breakfast options at any Naples resort. For lighter appetites, the acai bowl ($14) and chia seed pudding ($15) work well.
Dinner shifts to contemporary American with an emphasis on Gulf seafood and steaks. OpenTable lists the price range at $31–$50 per person, and reviewers consistently praise the Florida snapper, seabass specials, dynamite shrimp appetizer, and the 14-ounce ribeye. The lobster bisque ($14) and tuna tartare stack ($20) are strong starters.
- Hours: Breakfast 7:00 AM–11:00 AM. Dinner 5:00 PM–10:00 PM
- Price range: Breakfast $14–$29. Dinner entrees $31–$50+. Expect $60–$90 per person with drinks
- Dress code: Smart casual — collared shirts recommended for dinner, no swimwear
- Reservations: Via OpenTable. Recommended for dinner, especially weekends and season (January–April)
- Capacity: Standard tables plus patio seating with sunset views
- OpenTable rating: 4.3 stars from 902 diners — food 4.3, service 4.5, ambience 3.6
- Phone: (239) 594-6000

Dinner menu highlights: Lobster Bisque ($14), Tuna Tartare Stack ($20), Wagyu Meatballs ($18), Spinach Dip ($16), Florida Snapper, Seabass, 14 oz Ribeye, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Lobster Ravioli. Seasonal specials rotate frequently — ask your server.
Mantra Lobby Lounge
Mantra is the venue most visitors underestimate. Positioned as a lobby lounge, it actually serves a full Asian-fusion menu with one of the deepest food programs on property — pan-Asian shareables, handhelds, specialty entrees, and a sushi menu that opens after 4 PM. The cocktails are hand-crafted by mixologists using fresh, local ingredients, and the Friday champagne happy hour is one of the best deals at any Naples resort.
The shareables are the smart entry point. Ahi tuna nachos ($18), pork belly bao buns ($12), and five-spiced short rib tacos ($12) work as a light meal for two. If you want a full dinner, the shaking beef ($36), miso glazed grouper ($44), and 24-hour braised short rib ($36) are the standout entrees. The sushi menu — available after 4 PM only — includes a rainbow roll, dragon roll, and spider roll, all in the $21–$23 range.
- Hours: Daily 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
- Price range: Shareables $12–$18. Handhelds $19–$25. Entrees $29–$44. Sushi $21–$23
- Sushi: Available after 4:00 PM only

Pro tip: The Friday champagne happy hour (Veuve Clicquot at $9/glass) is one of the best deals in Naples. Arrive by 3:30 PM for seating — it fills quickly during season.
Rhode's End
Rhode's End is what makes dining at Naples Grande feel different from other Naples resorts. Tucked on the sand at Clam Pass Beach — accessible via the resort's complimentary tram ride through the mangroves — this Greek-Mediterranean spot captures the feel of a Cycladic island taverna transplanted to the Gulf Coast. White and blue color scheme, canvas umbrellas, and the sound of gentle waves behind you.
The menu is straightforward Greek and Mediterranean. Herb hummus with garlic butter pita ($16), gyro fries ($20), falafel pita pocket ($19), rotisserie lamb pita ($20), and grilled chicken pita ($19) form the core. The grilled octopus salad and feta flatbreads round out the mezze options. Cocktails lean tropical with a Mediterranean twist — frozen options, beer, and wine by the glass.
Reviews are consistent: the food is good, the setting is spectacular, and the prices are on the higher side for what amounts to elevated beach food. Budget $25–$40 per person for lunch with a drink.
- Hours: Daily 11:00 AM–5:00 PM (kitchen). Beverages served until sunset
- Price range: Mezze $16–$22. Gyros and pitas $19–$24. Kids items $10–$15
- Access: Guests take the complimentary tram from the resort through the mangrove boardwalk (runs 8 AM to sunset). The beach is public via Clam Pass Park, but the restaurant primarily serves resort guests
- Dress code: Beach casual — swimwear and cover-ups are fine
- Reservations: Walk-in only. First-come, first-served seating
- Renovation note: Rhode's End will continue operating during the April–December 2026 renovation
Menu highlights: Herb Hummus & Garlic Butter Pita ($16), Gyro Fries ($20), Falafel Pita Pocket ($19), Rotisserie Lamb Pita ($20), Grilled Chicken Pita ($19), Grilled Octopus Salad, Feta Flatbreads, Fried Baby Squid. Kids: Chicken Tenders ($15), Barnacle Burger ($12), Sunny Sandwich ($10), Fries ($6), Ice Cream Bar ($5).
Gulfcoast Oasis Pool Bar
Gulfcoast Oasis is the poolside anchor. Baja-inspired fare — tacos, tortas, quesadillas, and a solid frozen drink program — served without leaving the pool deck. The menu is more substantial than typical resort pool bars, with options ranging from a simple guacamole and chips starter to a lobster and mango quesadilla ($28) that works as a real meal.
The taco lineup is built around street-style taquitos served with chips and salsa: beef birria ($22), blackened grouper ($26), grilled adobo chicken ($20), and hen of the woods mushroom ($18). The Grande smash burger ($22) and blackened grouper sandwich ($26) are the strongest torta options. All tortas come with fries.
The cocktail menu runs deep for a pool bar. The blackberry margarita ($17), blood orange margarita ($17), and frozen options like the Caribbean colada ($18) and frose ($16) are the top sellers. Canned beer starts at $8, and draft beer at $9.
- Hours: Daily 11:00 AM–5:00 PM (kitchen). Beverages served until sunset
- Price range: Appetizers $14–$21. Tacos $18–$26. Tortas $20–$26. Cocktails $15–$18. Frozen drinks $16–$18

Stay at Naples Grande Before the Renovation
The resort closes April 1, 2026 for a full renovation through year-end. Book now for the current experience.
Sunset Veranda
Sunset Veranda is the resort's outdoor living room. An open-air lounge with fire pits, live music on select evenings, and a seasonal wood-fired pizza kitchen that operates in-season (typically November through April). During the rest of the year, the Veranda functions as a cocktail and drinks venue.
The wood-fired pizzas are the draw when the pop-up kitchen is running — freshly baked with house-made dough. Outside of pizza nights, the venue serves as an al fresco extension of the lobby bar with cocktails, wine, and beer. The fire pit seating fills quickly around sunset, especially during season.
- Hours: Daily 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
- Price range: Cocktails $15–$18. Wood-fired pizza $14–$20 (seasonal)
- Access: Open to all guests. No pool attire requirement
- Live music: Select evenings, particularly weekends during season
- Reservations: Walk-in. Arrive early for fire pit seating at sunset
Spressi Marketplace
Spressi is the first stop of the day for most guests. Opening at 6:00 AM — a full hour before Aura — this grab-and-go marketplace serves illy Italian coffee, specialty espresso drinks, fresh pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and ice cream later in the day. It is the best value on property for a quick breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.
- Hours: Daily 6:00 AM–10:00 PM
- Price range: Coffee $4–$8. Pastries and sandwiches $5–$12
- Best for: Early-morning coffee before the beach tram, midday snacks, after-dinner ice cream
In-Room Dining
In-room dining covers two windows: breakfast from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and an all-day menu from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. For guests who want a quiet balcony breakfast overlooking the tropical grounds — or a late-night meal after a long day at the beach — this fills the gap.
- Hours: Breakfast 6:00 AM–11:00 AM. All day 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
- Price range: Standard resort room service pricing with delivery fee
- Order: Call the front desk or use the in-room phone
Breakfast at Naples Grande
Naples Grande offers three morning options, which is more range than most visitors expect:
| Venue | Opens | What to Expect | Per Person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spressi Marketplace | 6:00 AM | illy coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches | $5–$12 |
| Aura Restaurant | 7:00 AM | Full sit-down: lobster benedict, omelets, pancakes, acai bowls | $19–$29 |
| In-Room Dining | 6:00 AM | Balcony breakfast delivery | Varies |
For the earliest start, hit Spressi at 6:00 AM for coffee and a pastry, then take the 8:00 AM tram to Clam Pass Beach. For a proper sit-down breakfast, Aura opens at 7:00 AM — the lobster benedict and short rib hash are worth the price if you are celebrating.
