Popular 'Florida' Restaurant Shuts Down After 12 Years

After more than a decade in business, Hob Nob Kitchen & Bar in Naples, Florida shut its doors this weekend.

On Friday morning, the restaurant revealed in a Facebook post that the following day would be its final day of operation after 12 years. 

"This decision was not made lightly," the post reads. "Over the years, HobNob has become more than just a place to eat — it has been a gathering space filled with laughter, celebrations, hard work, and unforgettable memories. We've had the honor of watching families grow, friendships form, and traditions take shape around our tables."

To mark the sad occasion and also treat longtime customers, Hob Nob offered all food 50% off over its final 24-plus hours, along with select drink specials.

The establishment also issued a lengthy tribute to its staff in its goodbye post.

"For our staff, there are no words strong enough to fully express our gratitude for each and every one of you," the post said. "From the early mornings to the late nights, the holidays, the rushes, the quiet moments, and everything in between — you've poured your hearts, your energy, and your passion into making this place more than just a restaurant. You've made it a home. Some of you have been with us for years — weathering every challenge, celebrating every win, and always showing up with resilience, warmth, and integrity.

"We are forever thankful for your loyalty, your hard work, and your heart."

While in business, Hob Nob offered a variety of farm, or meat, dishes, as well as fish entrees and several different kinds of pastas and small plates. For drinks, the restaurant had a cocktail list that included its take on a number of classic libations.

"As we close this chapter, we do so with immense pride and gratitude. Though the doors of HobNob may be closing, the spirit and community we built together will always remain," the restaurant said.
