Had an amazing dinner here. Seemingly very different for Naples cuisine. Original, thoughtful, affordable, and really really delicious. Thomas was a server, who was attentive, personable, and really great at his job.

We’re excited for our next trip back to see what chef is cooking
One of our last meals before heading north for summer.
Very glad we got to try it! Found the bar to be a quieter experience than the dining room - we also enjoy eating at the bar. Had a glass of wine, a mocktail and the chicken schnitzel. Food was delicious - enjoyed the pickle and the rocket pesto with the schnitzel. Wish we had been hungrier to be able to try more dishes. The restaurant had a super fun energy. Love the concept of guest chefs in residency. A great addition to our neighborhood!

So glad we got a chance to experience Heyday! Our server Steven was great, and we got a chance to talk to the restaurant manager, beverage manager, and the owner. Everyone wanted to make sure we had a great experience! The Pub Sub was unique and memorable. The Duck Snack Wrap was extremely tasty but not easy to share (only valid if you're trying to cut in half). The marinated tomatoes on milk bread was outstanding and had so much nostalgia for me! I could probably eat 8 of these! The trotters and collards dumplings had a fantastic "funk" to them that reminded you that you were eating trotters and collards. The Duck meatloaf was smokey, sweet, and the mushy peas were honestly the star! The corn ice cream was fantastic, and so was the s'mores dessert! Previous reviews are true that it is a bit noisy, but we didn't mind. The total experience was great and you can tell that they pay attention to all the details. Great job all around!

We had a group of seven and our combined cost was $625 before tip. We ordered off of the sizzle menu. But they had a weird rule that if one person ordered off the sizzle menu everyone at the table had to order off of it and for $59 I had two tiny dumplings, a 2 ounce piece of snapper with no rice or anything and a couple weird potatoes and a small ice cream sandwich. All in all five or six bites of food. I don’t mind spending a lot of money for really good food, but this is a lot of money for food that wasn’t good. They were adventurous with their flavors but fell face first on delivery. Bicyclette the other restaurant from the same creator is incredible. But not here. Our server was good. The drinks were good, but that was it. I will not be returning.
