"We rarely eat out as I tend to cook all our meals. But we just had to go out for our anniversary. We made a reservation at Everett’s. Our experience from being seated, served, greeted at the table by the owner was excellent. The food was very well made. Having worked in the restaurant industry from a young age I have a pretty high bar. It is a little pricey-but so is anything good. We were not disappointed with any part of our meal-at all, not even the price. You want quality-you should expect to pay for it. They seat you with your own closed carafe of ice-water. They were so sweet, generous portions. We started off with Kobe beef sliders were excellent. Im not usually a hamburger fan-but these were delightful. I think my husband could have made a meal of those! (Maybe a couple orders! the drinks were delicious and the fruited lemonade was exceptional! We ordered soup and salad, which were good. They brought us flatbread crackers and hummus-it was very good-lemony and the crackers were crisp and a great accompaniment. The entrees were perfectly cooked. They only offer mashed potatoes as a starch but they were flavorful and needed no extra salt or pepper to improve them-perfect as is. The blackened fresh king salmon was tender and flaky with the crisp, perfectly seared seasoned crust and the Blackberry Beurre Blanc sauce was the perfect accompaniment. The vegetables (summer squash and carrots were perfectly done-with the right amount of crisp to them. The filet was tender, seasoned very well with a mushroom bordelaise sauce that enhanced the steak but didn’t overpower it. We finished our meal with excellent desserts. Because it was our wedding anniversary they were compliments of the house. We chose the key lime pie and the chocolate bomb. Each of those was delectable and the presentation was great. All foods were plated well. The owner was personable and took a few minutes to see if we were pleased with our dining experience and was a bright spot in the night. The view was excellent looking out at the lake. The restaurant was well appointed and clean. The decor also made a pleasant atmosphere. They have several areas to eat. This place is perfect for a nice lunch, casual dinner or for a more quiet special occasion. They have a bar, outside dining snd fire pit (you can get s’mores for dessert and roast the marshmallows yourself . We will choose Everett’s again. Not just for fancy dining but casual dinners and brunches because they do not disappoint."

"I'm going to give this place 2 stars only because of the very sweet waitress and I'm in a good mood. Other than that this place is a mediocre mess which is really a shame because it has the possibility of being so much more. Located on a quiet corner away from the hustle and bustle of Naples, the place seems like a cute French bistro you might find in Paris. Then you try to speak to the person right next to you and realize you cannot possibly hear a word because the place is so loud and no one has thought that people who go out to dinner together might actually want to speak to each other while dining! After sitting there for about 25 minutes the nice waitress came to take our order. Unfortunately she had an accent which made understanding her nearly impossible in a room where you can barely hear the person next to you anyway. We ordered escargot and a soup for an appetizer and waited and waited and waited and waited and after another 45 minutes finally our appetizers and entrees all came at once! We sent back the entrees and ate our mediocre at best appetizers. Our entrees eventually made it and were mediocre as well. All in all a very disappointing experience with very ordinary food and service with a lovely and personable waitress. Be smarter than me and save your night and go somewhere else. I can assure you you'll be happy you did."
