The Go-To Pre-Show Dinner in Naples: BrickTop’s
If you’re headed to a show at Artis—Naples, BrickTop’s is the perfect spot to stop before or after. While it is a chain, it has everything I want out of a meal that will always hit the spot. If I want something fancy or unique, I might head to Bicylette, but for old reliable favorites, BrickTop’s is my top choice.
The menu is wide enough that everyone at the table will find something they actually want to eat, which is a lifesaver if you’re going with friends who can’t agree on anything. Personally, I stick to the prime rib or the French dip. The prime rib is always tender and flavorful, and the French dip hits that perfect spot of savory and comforting with its au jus. Add a glass of wine or a cocktail and you’ve got the perfect spot for a night out.
The vibe is lively and feels nice without being too upscale. You can sit at the bar, a corner booth, or a table with friends and feel perfectly comfortable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and somehow keeps everything running smoothly, which is exactly what you want when you’ve got a show to catch.
BrickTop’s isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s just a solid, reliable spot where you’ll leave satisfied from the cozy meals. Honestly, sometimes dependable is exactly what you need before a night out.
