Shula's Steak House - Naples

Ladies and Gentlemen, there are very few restaurants in this world that can boast everything that this restaurant can boast, and all of them are named Shula's Steakhouse. Don Shula led the Miami Dolphins to a world record setting undefeated season and made the name Dan Marino famous. Now he owns a series of steakhouses that are truly out of this world. Their meat is grown on Shula's own ranches, from quite literally some of the finest Black Angus in the world. They serve a bone-in ribeye that has more flavor than the Filet Mingon of any comparable restaurant in Southwest Florida, and some of the most massive Maine lobsters I have ever seen. Their desserts are incredible and the waiters are so far beyond attentive it seems like they have been waiting on you your entire life. Don't plan on dining at this restaurant as a regular occasion though, this restaurant is a little more pricey than Outback. Don't be fooled by anyone who claims they have the best steaks in Florida, because Don Shula's vision remains undefeated.

When you walk into this restaurant, it doesn't matter if you know its history, you know that it was founded upon great things. The food will prove that to you.

My only significant complaint is that the restaurant was extremely cold, making it uncomfortable to enjoy our dinner. I couldn't wait to get outside to warm up! I've been here before and had worn a sweater, so I really don't understand why it has to be so cold. The service was top-notch, but the chill in the air made it hard to fully enjoy the meal while shivering. I could feel the draft every time a waiter hurried by, and I'm not exaggerating. I'll definitely return, but next time, I will make sure to wear a jacket or a heavy sweater.

The food, service, and portion sizes were absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant; everything was wonderful. My only issue was that I couldn't finish all of it.

Shula's is an exceptional upscale steakhouse featuring an impressive wine selection. The service is outstanding, and the ambiance is elegant and serene. My family has been hooked on this restaurant for years, and every visit has been thoroughly satisfying.
