Description: Old Naples' newest see-and-be-seen scene, Handsome Harry's at 1205 Third Street South, is another reason to come downtown after dark. Or, for that matter, to liven up an otherwise laissez faire end-of-summer Southwest Florida afternoon by lunching al fresco on the spacious terrace. Floors are attractive black and white marble squares, artwork includes vintage-look black and white photographs, cinnamon serves as the accent color and exotic orange birds of paradise poke from glass vases in the center of each table. For starters, try Handsome Harry's bloody marys. At 24 ounces each ($8), they set the stage for the restaurant's fetish for BIG. The average person needs two hands to heft the humongous glass. Foodies give a big thumbs-up to the "Colossal Shrimp Cocktail" ($12), another eye-popper. Are you familiar with giant Tiger Gulf shrimp? These "crustaceans on steroids" were the size of a child's hand but surprisingly tasty (sometimes bigger isn't better). Kouri Killmeier poaches them in an aromatic white wine court-boullion, which brings out the seafaring flavor. Avid crab cake lovers should skip Harry's offerings however. Filet mignon stems ($14 on dinner menu) were outstanding: tender steak crusted in cracked black peppercorns served skewered with a fragrant rosemary stem and finished with a brandy-butter sauce. Seared ahi tuna ($28) was another winner. Other entrée possibilities ride the range from Colorado lamb loin chops and a stuffed pork rib chop to roasted turkey rolatini, lobster fra diavalo, breast of boneless chicken and a raft of grilled steaks. Desserts were spectacular — and, again, size matters. It's hard to believe they go for just $6 each. The carrot cake and Blackout Chocolate are the best of the best.

After years in Manhattan and Beverly Hills one would notice
that HH is rather pathetic. It caters to a crowd that actually
does not know better.
Just a hopelessly depressed place.

Nothing Jazzy about Handsome Harry's.
With the price of their entree's, you'd think they would hire some professional musicians.
If you call yourself "A Jazz Club and Restaurant", at least live up to it.
Music is very amatuer top 40 karaoke type talent.
Please. don't be cheap! get some real Jazz Musicians, then the place would be top notch because the food, service and location is #1, but when you have tacky music while you're eating, I mean need I say more......

Perhaps dining on New Year's Eve is not the best time to critique a restaurant, given the menu is limited, but our dining experience, save for the fireworks and location, was below average. Fortunately we had reservations for the early seating without the holiday evening's hefty price. From start to finish our food was boring. It wasn't until later however, upon returning home and then the following morning, that we felt decidedly ill and can only contribute it to what we ate at HH. Not only did we both feel sick but my dining partner was itching all over. I think it was bad seafood. Anyway, our new name for Handsome Harry's is Dirty Harry's. Dining there won't Make Your Day.

I think the place is rather nice and fun. It's not New York but you're in Naples. At least it's open until 1:00 a.m. We need more places like this.

My wife and I frequent Harry's about once a week since opening last August. We have never been disappointed. We even spent New Year's Eve at Harry's and had a great experience. The mark of a great restaurant is to be consistently "on your game" and execute service, hospitality and top notch food. Harry's does all three. The atmosphere is wonderful with music and great seating choices inside or outdoors. Being from NYC,I am not easily impressed Top-notch in Naples!
