The view was great, service was good, but the food was terrible! The blackened grouper was not edible and was so tough it could not be cut with a knife. The manager was apologetic about the fish and said it shouldn’t have been brought the table, so we ordered a filet mignon and “lamb” instead. The filet was OK but the “lamb” was lousy and a joke at $38; It only had tiny bits of lamb mixed in with a tomato based sauce on pasta. The setting was great but not relaxing due to a play area being situated between our table and the beach which had numerous children jumping right in front of the us, doing cartwheels in the grass. The kettle one martinis were very good and pricey at $17 each. Baleen also charges $5.00 plus tip for valet parking (there is no self-parking), which should be complementary when spending a few hundred dollars for dinner. We'd consider going back for drinks sometime because the view is very nice, but we will never return for a meal again. This meal was a second chance given to La Playa after a disappointing meal last year.

You feel good just driving up to the restaurant which is located in the LAPlaya club.
Recently had lunch here with my friends. Beyond the fact that you are having your lunch on Vanderbilt Beach in Naples and watching the waves come in; doesn't get better than that. The service was great my friends have two small children,the staff were wonderfully aware of their needs. The food was great I had the black and blue which was blackened shrimp with blue cheese and I had a piece of their wonderful Keylime pie, it was well presented and delicious.
Dinners can have the best natural desert, "our beautiful Naples sunset".
