M Waterfront Grille Struck Gold in Florida Trend’s 2019 Golden Spoon Awards!

Florida Trend is an award-winning business magazine read by 250,000 senior business executives, civic leaders and government officials each month. Florida Trend covers business news, executives, industry analysis, regional news round-ups and executive lifestyle. Special features focus on travel, restaurants, innovation, research and technology, personal finance, law and small business.

Continuing into their coverage on travel and restaurants, Florida Trend developed their Golden Spoon Awards. For over 50 years, Florida Trend’s Golden Spoons are the oldest and most coveted dining awards in the state. The magazine started the awards as a guide to executives traveling around the state, which has grown to recognize the best places to dine in the state, demonstrated by consistency in high standards and longevity.

When asked what is the standard to judge if a restaurant merits a Golden Spoon, Florida Trend’s Restaurant Editor, Chris Sherman, answered “the chief criterion is the food, made from top ingredients sourced carefully and prepared with imagination and authenticity from entrees to vegetables and breads.”

The 2019 Golden Spoons were released in the magazine’s December issue and five Naples restaurants were named among the top 100 in Florida, one of which was The Village Shops’ very own, M Waterfront Grille.

M Waterfront Grille, formally known as Maxwell’s on the Bay, is a favorite to locals and tourists alike. While the spectacular view of the Venetian Bay has made the restaurant a favorite to many, it is the cutting edge continental cuisine and fireworks of flavors that keeps guests coming back.

M-Waterfront Grille is labeled contemporary, passionate about serving only the freshest seafood, most flavorful steaks, homemade pastas, and more. Their exceptional food is exemplified by the numerous awards the restaurant has won including ‘The Best Sunday Brunch’ by the Southwest Florida Choice Awards, Trip Advisor’s ‘Travelers’ Choice’, a Zagat Rating, Wine Spectator’s ‘Award of Excellence’, and now adding ‘Golden Spoon Winner’ by Florida Trend Magazine to the list.
