The former Maxwell's on the Bay has become the new M Waterfront Grille!
We redefined a classic,” said Chris Sereno, co-owner with his older brother Peter. The mauve and green pastel colors have been update with new elegant colors, but this is no stuffy restaurant. The menu is completely new and crafted by Executive Chef, Brian Roland.
According to the Naples Daily News, Chef Roland planned a menu rooted in his classic culinary training paired with an emphasis on organics, locally grown products and natural meats, which are a step below organic certification, Roland said.
M Waterfront hopes to attract a younger crowd while keeping the former patrons loyal to Maxwell’s. Watch for review on our Famous Naples Restaurant Guide.
