Alto is a new restaurant by Chef Charles Mereday, opening in Naples at Bayfront in February 2014. Described as "Live, Jazz, Kitchen," ALTO is a classic supper club of the thirties and forties, with live, original musicians of local, national and international recognition.

Charles Mereday also owns Mereday's Fine Dining at the Naples Bay Resort, an acclaimed restaurant recently named best new restaurant in Collier County by Gulfshore Life magazine.

At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef/Partner Nadir Sherwani, Mereday's long-time colleague, fellow North Carolinian and first mentor.

The inspiration for Alto is Zanzibar Blue, a now-closed Philadelphia landmark with upscale dining and live music. The location in Bayfront was the first Mereday had considered before moving to Naples with Mereday's Fine Dining. When it became available again, he jumped at the chance.
