We had a party of 8 and made a reservation. We were seated immediately. The service was excellent and every meal was out of this world. We would rate this number on Captiva. We did eat at the Old Captiva house which was very good but this was OUTSTANDING.

Reasonably priced; close to the Southseas Resort; good food; and in the same area as the souvenir store! No a.c. or indoor seating, but lots of overhead fans and we were quite comfortable. Casual and very nice.

Went here with my wife and son. Sat outside and no wait. Ordered mussells for an appetizer. They were decent for $13.99. Shared a caeser salad which was plenty for 2 people for $6.99. But the salad was only fair. Sea Bass was excellent with mashed potatoes and veggies for $32.99. Corn flake encrusted chicken breast was A +. Also... More

After leaving a terrible local establishment, we were delighted to find this restaurant. The service and food were excellent and the prices were very reasonable. We had a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend this restaurant!

We were looking forward to eating here as we had driven passed a few times & it seemed busy, however the service was really bad and the food was worse. Our children's meals were plated up with crisps next to their food (weird) and my fish was indescribable. We barely ate anything and the staff didn't even ask why?!

Husband had grouper and said it was good. I don't like seafood, so I ordered the pan fried chicken dipped in corn flakes.......amazing!!! It's a boneless breast, thin and the flavor was awesome and the chicken tender! Great dinner!

We had lunch here. The waiter was very personable, and helpful with a wine selection as well as a lunch suggestion. My wife and I had the grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich, and it was very good. The patio was nice, just wish it had a better view. That would be the only negative from our standpoint. We definately would recommend... More

small place, in the hub of Captive , we sat on the outside patio. Special of the ay was grouper with spinach, tomato and lobster topping with vegies and purple cabbage, My cohorts had the seafood Paella and kids menu Mai Mai - overall wonderful service, great food - little pricey but then this place can handle the price

The majority of seating is outside and we saw only 2 staff members in the 2 hours we were there. They came highly recommended but missed the mark with my family. Fish was overcooked and seemed to be a frozen product. (I run a fish market in New England) We have a time share at south seas and will be... More
