Not an Early Bird Special - View this location on map ![]() 'If the late-night dinner crowds at trendy restaurants like Blu Sushi and Café & Bar Lurcat aren't convincing enough that there's a younger vibe in town, then make a reservation at Nektar (239-435-1882). The ultrasleek bright-orange Mediterranean-style restaurant was opened last year by two Albanian brothers, Armand and Elton Alikaj, who moved from New York and London respectively. Start with the daily soup ($8) a zesty lentil on one visit or the watermelon salad ($12) sprinkled with red onions, fresh Greek feta and mint. Based on old family recipes (their mom is in the kitchen each day), the entrees range from a lusty pork stew over fresh vegetable couscous seasoned with Moroccan spices, raisins and sun-dried tomatoes ($22) to a slow-roasted lamb shank au jus with braised fennel and potato purée ($29).''
