The Turtle Club sits on the grounds of the Vanderbilt Beach Resort in North Naples, founded in 1998 by Mike Moore and Peter Tierney; Mick Moore joined the operation in 2004. The Moore family has run the adjacent resort property since 1968, and the restaurant carries that same beachfront, resort-casual footing — tables steps from the sand with Gulf views built into the experience.
The kitchen turns out coastal seafood, and diners consistently single out the sea bass, along with well-made martinis and a chocolate cake that gets its own mentions. The setting draws a mix of Naples regulars and vacationers passing through.
Gulfshore Life named The Turtle Club one of the city's best restaurants of 2025.
