Cafe Lurcat, Naples, Florida

Finally escaped the cold.  Snow three times in one week before winter starts.  What happened to global warming?
First night at Finn Bistro on Marco. (See previous post).
Last night went to Cafe Lurcat on 5th street in Naples. Upstairs balcony is great place to sit.  Staff is all really nice and helpful.  Very nice house specialty drinks. I had a "New Fashion" and my friend had a Lychee Martini. Both were excellent.
Wine list is okay and a bit overpriced for me. Probably because I'm cheap and prefer to BYO and pay corkage.
Food was great:


Steak tartare...yum.


Ceviche was tasty.


Apple and chive salad with Manchego cheese.  Very refreshing.

Already started roasted Brussels Sprouts.  Not usually a fan, but these we're great.


Dover Sole special with Cauliflower purée.  Delicious.


Seared tuna was made perfectly as requested: very rare.


Roasted yellow beets: always one of my favorites. 


Pasta Nero with shrimp. A classic dish that they made perfectly.

We enjoyed a nice cheese plate for dessert with some simple Port.
Considering the great staff, ambiance and food, this place is way up there on my list of places to fine nicely in Naples.
What to wear?  A tuxedo or shorts and flip flops are both acceptable...the beauty of this area.
