Le Colonial | This iconic French-Vietnamese restaurant—already highly touted in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Lake Forest, and Delray Beach—is set to debut on Fifth Avenue South on Dec. 14. The menu is a reflection of Saigon in the 1920s and is the vision of acclaimed restaurateurs Rick Wahlstedt and Joe King.

The food pairings are a twist on traditional American favorites including seafood towers, handhelds, Wagyu steaks, and house specialties. 111 10th St. S., Naples | @warren_naples
