The Dock at Crayton Cove

Opened Friday the 13th of August 1976 by Vin De Pasquale — over 200 people were waiting in line, in a Naples that was still a fishing village of 12,000. Vin ran it 43 years before handing the keys to family friends who refreshed the food and bar program without touching the bones. Open-air waterfront room on Crayton Cove — the historic Naples yacht basin where boats pull up at the dock and locals arrive on foot from Third Street two blocks away. Menu leans seafood-forward: raw bar, grouper sandwich, peel-and-eat shrimp, plus salads, ribs, and steak. Sister to Riverwalk down the road.

What to order

The grouper sandwich and a cold beer at the raw bar in late afternoon — the light off the yacht basin around 5p is the whole reason to sit here. Sunday brings a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar until 2p.
