“IZZY! One of the best bartenders we’ve ever had - a pleasure to be with. Service - FANTASTIC. Conversation - like a FRIEND. Food was wonderful, best on the island. We had the best time at trivia and came back again. Also, a beautifully decorated restaurant and a wonderful view. Thank you IZZY, we probably would’ve come back for just the amazing food and cocktails but you definitely made it an easy decision with the amazing customer service and experience - not just another meal on vacation. Thank you!”

“Had an amazing experience at Cantina Captiva! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service was fantastic. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s the perfect spot for a fun meal and drinks, whether you’re visiting Captiva or a local. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Ok, why are you not eating here right now. We have been to South Seas and Harborside many times in the past. This place has changed so much since we’ve been here last. Harborside is amazing. We are accustomed to really good Italian food in the NYC area and dare I say this place compares. Pasta great, seafood great, steak great. Drinks were good too. Don’t forget dessert; the homemade tiramisu was light and a delicious way to end the meal (see photo below for the end result).

Shoutout to our amazing servers Knox and Kimberly. This crew was acres.

While some people may think the food is expensive, the price matched the value. Don’t skip this place.”

“Best food in all of SouthSeas resort. We had the wedge salad with the chicken, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection and very juicy. The flank steak with fries was also super yummy and the fries were amazing. The Caesar salad with the shrimp skewers was also delicious, and the shrimp were seasoned extremely well as well and very juicy.”

“Love this place!!!!!! Great food and service , feels like your private island🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴”

“The restaurant was lovely decorated and we were warmly greeted by the host. Although we had reservations we were told we may chose wherever we wanted to sit. The waitress was a pleasure and the food was delicious. We had lump crab/shrimp cocktail, caprese salad and fillets with mushrooms. The whole night was perfect and we even caught the sunset. A bit pricey but worth the experience.”

“Pizza was excellent and the service was great. Delivered to our door at South Seas. Thankful they are open. We’ll be regulars!”

“Love Mango’s and all their people! Captiva Sunrise & Silver King Margaritas are too delicious!”

“Wonderful service, outstanding food and a menu that has something for everyone made for a great family meal. From the seafood to sandwich’s to pasta you cannot go wrong with your choice! We’ll be back soon!”

“Huge shoutout to the KIND and HONEST TEAM at Doc Fords in Sanibel! 🙌 We’ve been going there for many years and their food is always delicious-one of our favorite spots for a reason. We had dinner there Sunday and a couple of days later I realized my wallet was missing. I called in hoping for the best, and to my surprise (and relief!) they had it safe and sound- with EVERYTHING still inside! So very grateful for people who do the right thing. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience! 💙 Annette Nilio”

“Went on a vacation to Sanibel Island and by far the best food! As a vegan, it’s difficult to eat out and not always the best tasting, but the food here was some of the best I’ve ever had! I was also with non-vegans that loved the food just as much as I did.”
