Yabba Island Grill Naples FL

We found the Yabba Grill on bestswfloridadining.com. My husband and I spend our last night in Naples at Yabba Island Grill for their early prix-fixe dinner (till 6). Time worked out ok, since we wanted to have an early dinner night before an early flight out of Ft Myers. It was a 3-course dinner with several good choices, and price of the entree was the price of the whole meal. I don't think any of the choices was more than $20. We chose fantastic fried calamari for appetizer, and a ceaser salad (ok, but not enough dressing and a little skimpy) I had the salmon (grilled, and plain, but it was delicious), my husband had the pork chop which was terrific. Dessert we had key lime pie(fantastic), and their chocolate cake. Much to our surprise, our wine with dinner was half price, since it was still their 'happy hour'. We checked the swfloridarewards.com for coupons.

Their happy hour is every night at the bar 4:30 till 6 where most drinks are half price, and a special $3.99 bar menu that you can easily make a meal out of. You have to set at the bar to get the bar menu. We tried it one night and the bar was pretty full, but last minute someone left and we were able to get seats and ordered wine and the fried calamari.

The whole experience was so enjoyable - eating outside and people watching. It was quite a scene, and there was even some music playing in the courtyard next to the restaurant. I would highly recommend this place and if we are every back in Naples, we will be sure to make a return visit.
