Shopping center adds upscale Chicago-based restaurant chain to offerings

NAPLES — Mercato, a mixed-use lifestyle shopping center in Naples, has welcomed the addition of the Hampton Social, a new 8,400-square-foot restaurant that will be located next to Blue Martini, in the former McCormick & Schmick’s space. The restaurant is expected to open in the summer, according to a press release.

The Hampton Social is a Chicago-area sensation born in the Windy City’s River North neighborhood, known for its concentration of art galleries and vibrant nightlife. The restaurant serves seasonally inspired coastal cuisine in a posh, East Coast “Hamptons-like” lifestyle atmosphere. A tasteful private dining room and elegant semi-private spaces make the venue popular for both intimate and corporate gatherings, the release states.
