Blue Martini
9114 Strada Place, Naples, FL
NAPLES — The Collier County Sheriff’s Office released two more reports today filed by people who believe they were drugged while dining at the Blue Martini in North Naples.
The women are both in their mid-50s, according to reports.
One woman reported meeting friends at Blue Martini in October, and leaving because she began to feel unstable. The other woman told investigators that she began to feel dizzy and started vomiting while at the Blue Martini in December.
Both cases are being treated as "suspicious incidents," reports said.
About 50 people have now filed similar reports with the Sheriff’s Office about blacking out after having a couple of drinks at the Mercato restaurant. Most of the reports were filed after the Daily News published a story about the accusations on March 4.
Two customers have also made similar reports to the Sheriff’s Office claiming they blacked out after having drinks at two other Mercato restaurants, Piola and McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurant.
The Sheriff’s Office is investigating all of the accusations.

Should the title of the article be "Two more come forward to say they were drunk at Blue Martini" instead of "drugged"? Although alcohol is a drug, never mind.
