About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Amber Cove redefines fine dining in North Naples, presenting a refined vision of modern coastal cuisine where global technique, elegant presentation, and polished hospitality converge. Led by Executive Chef Je, every dish is thoughtfully composed—crafted as a complete experience rather than paying for add-ons, sauces and side dishes.

Each plate is designed as a balanced composition, presenting a refined, globally influenced interpretation of coastal and Naples-inspired classics.

Recognized among Naples’ Best New Restaurants 2026 by Gulfshore Life, Amber Cove offers the sophistication of downtown dining—without the traffic or valet, with ample complimentary parking.

This May, we’re celebrating our first year with Locals Early Dining (4:00–5:30 PM), Winesday (9 oz pours for the price of a 6 oz pour), and Coastal Sunday Suppers.

Booths are limited; earlier reservations offer the best availability. Reservations recommended.

    Food was good, however we were overcharged for 2 glasses of wine and an entrée. Unacceptable. We were not offered anything for the error. Will not go back. Be careful. Always check the accuracy of your bill.

    While this restaurant receives some positive hype - hype is exactly what it is. 2 people, 2 apps, 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, 1 bottle of Pellegrino, 20+% tip = $240 …price not the issue. The food is the issue 1) fresh crab and fish croquettes - blech …chef’s sauce does nothing for the flavorless fish balls. 2) chef’s version of tuna tartare is pretty much flavorless, too many ingredients - definitely our least favorite tasting of a menu item that is popular at many restaurants right now. Fresh bone-in swordfish - lost it too, way too much salt, the mixed bean accompaniment is actually a poor choice, does nothing for the fish which was also quite flavorless. This dish was a big disappointment considering how good fresh swordfish can be. The one winner out of the four dishes was their short-rib - tender and flavorful, however the chef’s side was edible but forgettable. Considering the track record of the apps and the entrees, we decided to forego desserts. I would not recommend Amber Cove.

    Lance, I’m sorry your dinner did not meet your expectations. We take your comments about flavor, seasoning, and accompaniments seriously, and I will review them with our chef. I’m pleased you found the short rib tender and flavorful, but we want every course to be equally satisfying. Our bone-in swordfish with three-bean ragout has been an extremely dependable favorite, with consistently five-star feedback prior to your visit. That makes your experience particularly concerning and deserving of our attention. I would also appreciate clarifying the appetizer you described as tuna tartare, as Amber Cove does not serve that dish. Please contact me directly at the restaurant so we can identify what you were served and discuss your visit in greater detail. Tim Herman Owner, Amber Cove

    A Mixed Experience: This is a nice renovation of the former restaurant - nice ambiance. Three of us enjoyed our food, but the order for the fourth was ruined in the kitchen - WAY overcooked. To his credit Tim, the owner, went above the norm in trying to make amends, but an evening dinner out is at least partially ruined when one in the group has no meal. Service from waiter and runners was weak - wine order confused, meals delivered to wrong seats at our table; this should not happen in a restaurant of this caliber/price point. I would like to see Amber Cove do well. I sense Tim knows what's required but support from his team was off the mark that evening.

    Portions were very small considering the price and the food was way too salty for both myself and my husband.
