Naples' dining scene has welcomed a new luxury destination with the opening of Eddie V's Prime Seafood at Waterside Shops. The highly anticipated restaurant, located at 765 Seagate Drive, marks the brand's first Southwest Florida location and its sixth restaurant in the state.
Known for its upscale atmosphere, fresh seafood offerings, premium hand-cut steaks, and live entertainment, Eddie V's brings a sophisticated yet energetic dining experience to Naples. Unlike traditional steakhouses, the restaurant blends a seafood-centric menu with a vibrant lounge environment featuring nightly live music and specialty cocktails.
Guests can enjoy a variety of signature seafood dishes, including Hong Kong-style Chilean sea bass, Parmesan-crusted sole, crab fried rice, scallops, Norwegian salmon, and South African lobster. The menu also features an extensive selection of USDA Prime steaks and chops, all carefully prepared to showcase premium quality ingredients.
Popular starters include jumbo lump crab cakes, lobster tacos, Wagyu dumplings, yellowtail sashimi, and tableside steak tartare. For those looking to indulge, the restaurant's signature seafood tower offers an impressive assortment of chilled shellfish and seafood.
The V Lounge serves as the social centerpiece of the restaurant, offering handcrafted cocktails, chef-inspired sushi, and live music performances throughout the week. Signature drinks feature dramatic presentations, including smoked cocktails prepared tableside and visually striking creations designed to enhance the guest experience.
Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the restaurant's extensive collection of more than 300 wine and champagne selections displayed within a striking glass wine tower. Advanced preservation technology also allows guests to enjoy premium wines by the glass while maintaining optimal freshness.
The nearly 10,000-square-foot restaurant was created through the redevelopment of a former private banking facility at Waterside Shops. The space includes indoor dining, outdoor patio seating, and multiple private event rooms.
Eddie V's is open for dinner service daily, with happy hour offerings available in the lounge each afternoon. Reservations are encouraged, and valet parking is available for guests.
The arrival of Eddie V's continues the evolution of Waterside Shops as one of Naples' premier dining destinations. Additional restaurant concepts expected to join the center in the coming years include Buck & Rider and a new fine-dining venue planned as part of the upcoming Restoration Hardware gallery development.
