Whenever we stay on Sanibel for a week we make the drive up to Captiva once or twice to have a nice lunch at the Green Flash. You don't come to the islands for gourmet dining, but Green Flash has some tasty offerings on the food and cocktail menus. At prime times there can be a wait, but you can... More

We came here not knowing what to think. Name is strange. Nt beach dining though you can see the water. Large menu with many seafood choices. Just good service, excellent food at a reasonable price.

The view is wonderful. The food was good but not memorable. The service was a bit slow. We ate outside and the tables/chairs needed to be refreshed.

The waitress here is hateful! And the food is awful! There is no excuse to be that way when you work on one of the most beautiful islands in the world! I would work as a janitor just to work on Sanibel Island!

I've come to the Green Flash dozens of times over the years and have never been disappointed!! The service and food is always outstanding with a gorgeous view of the bay. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my lunch here I ordered the vegetable sandwich and it was delicious. I recently spent 10 days in the area and this was the best meal I had. An Egret kept watch while we ate and we saw a manatee in the bay just off the dock to the restaurant.

Great view and good prices. Our waiter seemed to have no knowledge of menu or any interest in waiting on us, but we managed :-) Worth trying for yourself.

Location is charming, lots of parking. There were manatees and dolphins in the water that we could see. Impressive. I had the fish of the day which was spectacular and their boozy drinks were very good too. I would go back in a heartbeat!

We docked outside the Green flash as it had been recommended to us. Docking in the boat was easy and there were no other boats there. We walked up to the restaurant and a very grumpy waitress told us there were no tables out side and we would have to wait and walked off.. No "you can sit over there... More

We had been out fishing and docked around 2.30 in the afternoon. We were given a table overlooking the sea and spotted manatees and jumping fish. It's a great view and the french fries and chocolate cake we ordered were also very good. The Punch certainly packed a big punch, Very wierd loos for men and women. Hoping to find... More
