Restaurants in Iona

At Jaegerhaus, just about everything is imported from Germany: the age-old family recipes, the curtains, and perhaps most importantly, the man who cooks the food. Chef Sebastian Heyer and his family moved to the United States in 2009 to fulfill their dream of opening a German restaurant.

The Heyers soon transformed a local Naples establishment into an old-time Southern German café, and established a business that has earned multiple Naples Daily News Readers' Choice awards in the categories of "Best German Food" and "Dishes Most Fun to Pronounce Incorrectly." Inside, dirndl-clad servers deliver authentic German eats, such as wiener schnitzel, or schweinehaxe—a skinless roasted-pork shank. Visitors can get cozy amid the intimate dining room's curio decor, or slide up next to the trellis-lined, exposed-brick bar while sipping on domestic and imported beers.

Mexican paintings, pottery, and stained glass pepper Mr Tequila Grill's dining room, as diners relax and gaze upon walls that blend vibrant yellows with fiery reds that echo the heat coming out of the kitchen. Amid this setting, waiters serve plates of chicken-stuffed burritos, chimichangas, and sizzling fajitas featuring shrimp, steak, and veggies, all served on a hot skillet. However, Mr Tequila's chefs aren't content to just cook Mexican favorites. They also experiment with multicultural items such as cheese-steak tacos, which transfer the ingredients and flavors of the Philadelphia favorite into a crispy shell. To complement these eats, bartenders craft margaritas and open bottles of imported Mexican beer.
