If you've been wondering what took over the former Bonefish Grill space in the Naples Bay Resort Marina, we’ve got exciting news for your taste buds 😋— Blackbird Modern Asian has officially landed in Naples 🥢, and it’s bringing some seriously bold flavor with it 🔥.
This isn’t your average night out. Blackbird is redefining what it means to go out for Asian cuisine 🍱, blending classic flavors with modern techniques in a space that’s as unforgettable as the food.
🌟 Naples Gets a Taste of an Award-Winning Concept
This is Blackbird’s second location—its flagship in Jupiter, Florida 🌴 has already made waves 🌊 with food lovers and critics alike. Known for its vibrant atmosphere 🎉 and inventive Pan-Asian menu 🧧, the original Blackbird has earned accolades 🏅 and a loyal following. Now, Naples gets to experience what all the buzz 🐝 is about.
💫 It’s More Than a Meal—It’s an Experience
From the moment you walk in, Blackbird delivers an immersive vibe ✨. A towering 6-foot bronze Buddha head 🧘 greets you at the entrance, while bold red accents, a vibrant floral 🌺 and butterfly mural, and cozy lighting set the tone inside.
Looking for something a little more elevated? Head upstairs to the second-floor lounge 🥂 or unwind with a cocktail 🍸 on the outdoor waterfront walkway—yes, outdoor seating with a view.
🍽️ A Culinary Adventure Awaits
Executive Chef Tim Nickey has crafted a Pan-Asian menu that’s both familiar and fresh 🌶️. Think spicy pork wontons 🥟, Mongolian brisket bao buns, and wok-fired specialties that pack a punch 👊.
Signature mains like Sichuan smoked pork spareribs 🍖 and General Tso’s tikka masala chicken 🍛 are proof that this place isn’t afraid to get creative.
And let’s not forget dessert 🍨—Blackbird has sweet surprises 🎁 waiting at the end of your meal. Pair it all with a sake flight 🍶, a craft cocktail 🍹, or something off the extensive wine list 🍷. Happy Hour 🕓 runs daily from 4–6 p.m., so stop by early and sip something special.
👗 Dress to Impress, but Keep it Chill
The dress code is dressy casual 👠, so it’s the perfect excuse to ditch the flip-flops 🩴 and step it up a notch. Whether you’re planning a date night ❤️, dinner with friends 🧑🤝🧑, or just want to explore Naples' newest dining gem 💎, Blackbird welcomes walk-ins for smaller groups and takes reservations 📞 for parties of 8 or more (based on availability).
