Everything was beyond amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt elegant, modern, and full of intention. The staff was so kind and attentive, and every dish that came out looked and tasted incredible — beautifully plated, flavorful, and creative. We loved the small details that made the experience so special — from the warm oshibori towel at the end to the Blackbird logo hidden inside the fortune cookie. Those thoughtful touches truly set this place apart and show how much pride goes into every part of the dining experience. We left already talking about what we’ll try next time. Can’t wait to come back soon thank you all for a wonderful evening!

Generally overall a pleasant experience at Blackbird. Had a very good dinner on Sunday. Can’t believe the crowds had to wait over 35 minutes even with a reservation. I would say the smaller plates are much tastier than the larger dinner options. The first 3 appetizers were excellent. The steak lo mein was more steak than lo mein. The cod was excellent but I was not impressed with the crab fried rice. The lime desert was very creative!

We finally made it to Blackbird and it absolutely delivered. This is my favorite kind of restaurant and Blackbird is right up there with some of my favorites. The location is spectacular, right on the marina of the Naples Bay Resort. And the inside was such a beautiful aesthetic. We were seated right under the Japanese cherry blossom tree and I knew we were for an amazing meal. Highly recommend coming during happy hour like we did. Half price cocktails and deals on their apps. We couldn’t decide what we wanted but we ultimately landed on the spicy pork wontons, short rib and bone marrow dumplings and the Thai beef jerky. They were all delicious. My favorite being the dumplings. The beautifully rendered short rib with the fattiness of the bone marrow is right up my alley. The accompanying sauce made for a perfect bite. My wife cannot resist a skirt steak on any menu and I’m so glad she suggested getting the skirt steak lo mein. Such a rich and decadent dish. The skirt steak was literally perfect and the kimchi hoisin sauce mixed into the lo mein was otherworldly. Perhaps one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. I think we could’ve had another plate of it. We washed it all down with a Confucius Says for her and a Kill Bill for me. The Kill Bill was a sort of smoky mezcal sour that I could’ve sipped on all night. I cannot wait to come back here. I literally said out loud to my wife, I think I want to celebrate my next birthday here. Truly a special experience I want to share with all my friends.

This place was so good we tried to walk in the night after our initial reservation, as soon as they opened to snag a table and too many others had the same idea, and we couldn’t get in. Service was stellar. Food came out fast without compromising on quality. Kitchen staff have got it together. Drinks were great. King Crab garlic noodles are out of this world. The noodles coated in sauce. Delicate and rich at the same time. Worth every penny. We tried to return to enjoy them again before leaving town. The pickles were very good too. Crispy and just the right amount of heat and pickle. Duck fried rice was flavorful and came with plenty to share. Dumplings were good. The sauce was phenomenal. The filling was a tad bit dry but when soaking in the broth, excellent. 10/10 would return.

A truly amazing experience from start to finish!! We dined here as guests of the Naples Marina Resort and it did not disappoint! Our hostess was friendly, welcoming, and explained the menu and dining to us in detail. The drinks were incredible, we ordered a Blackbird Cocktail and Sake. For food we had the duck fried rice and orange chicken, and it came well presented, hot and it tasted delicious!! The dessert went the extra mile- we ordered ‘Year of the Snake’ and it was safely lit on fire to add to the effect. Please do not miss the place if you are staying in Naples and are looking for exquisite Asian cuisine dining.

A must for anyone who is a lover of Asian food. Something to note: it is Valet parking. Let them know you have a reservation and it is complementary. Be prepared to wait - I would get there before your reservation. Upon walking into the restaurant there is a view of the kitchen and fresh Peking duck to your right. The hostesses were very kind and attentive. Once we were seated, our waitress, Maddy, came quickly and the food started flowing at a fast but decent pace once ordered. We ordered the Mongolian brisket boa bun, crab ragoons, brussel sprouts, the beef and broccoli, edamame and finally our highlight of the night - the dessert. We got the year of the snake. Absolutely amazing. They come to the table and light a small flame on fire that melts the chocolate snake, so cool! You could tell each item is cooked from scratch. Our favorite dinner item was the beef and broccoli. The sauce was out of this world along with the steak being cooked to perfection. A close second was the brussel sprouts served in a pineapple. Amazing presentation. It was extremely busy in there and all of the wait staff was attentive. We will definitely be back.

AMAZING!!! Finally Naples has an amazing Asian inspired restaurant. The place is family style which is a nice change of pace, which the portions reflect. The food was classic themed with modern twists. Highly recommend the wonton soup, and the peking duck both dishes were to die for. Our waitress was absolutely amazing also, very friendly and attentive. I recommend making reservations because the place was slamming busy on a Thursday. 100% check it on new time you're in Naples!

We had a fantastic evening celebrating our 1-year anniversary. Selena was our server and she was absolutely amazing—professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. She represents exactly what every restaurant should hope for in their staff. Sasha was also incredibly nice and made sure we had the perfect table for our special night. I didn’t catch his name, but the operations manager was very attentive as well—he made sure we received our last round of drinks just in time for dessert. The food was excellent. My wife is Asian and we both love Asian cuisine—we were very impressed! The octopus was incredible, and the street noodles were perfectly done. They also make a great smoked Old Fashioned and have an excellent selection of sake. This place comes highly recommended by both of us. Go now—before Season starts! – Brian and Yudith
