“We loved it! Super good food, nice and quick service. Lots of vegetarian options.

We also found it less expensive than other places and really worth it”

“We sat at the bar for 5 minutes before the bar tender, Chasity, even walked by us. She didn't even acknowledge us so my husband waved and said we were new to get some kind of acknowledgement, which she ignored. Once she decided to greet us, she said she was only one person and was very short.
Food was good, but our experience with her ruined our meal. We dine out quite a lot and have never had such a rude server. I hope staff is trained on how customer service should be handled.”

“MY FAVORITE STARBUCKS! Emma is the BEST! So sweet and kind. All the employees go out of their way to make your day a great one! Drinks are always top notch! Best little secret on Captivia for sure! Remember you’re on island time here!”

“Everything from food to drinks to ambiance to service was first class. Lovely restaurant, we sat out on the patio and it was a perfect evening. The food was delicious and our server Hannah was very attentive, but not hovering. We certainly will make a point of going there again and a new spot to take visitors that I am certain they will enjoy.”

“Red Fish Grill on Captiva was a solid lunch spot for us, especially hanging out at the pool bar. The serving portions were large and generous, making it great value for a relaxed midday meal. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, which fit the laid-back island vibe perfectly. The pool bar setting made lunch feel extra casual and enjoyable—easy, breezy, and exactly what you want while on Captiva. Not quite perfect, but definitely a place we’d happily return to.”

“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”

“We are on a girls weekend trip, we came across Pinocchio's Original Italian Ice Cream on our first night and it was so delicious that we had to go back on our second night. Our dinner plans ran over and we pulled in to Pinocchio's at 9:02pm. We were greeted by the sweetest employees Maddy & Talon. They let the five of us in and served us with a smile! We were in and out in less than 5 or so minutes. They made our night!! We made sure to tip well! We likely will go back for our third and final night on the island!”

Card payments accepted here with no annoying guilt-tripping screen! ❤️ I like the casual vibe, too. Friendly and helpful staff.”

“We had a reservation last night on arrival they said they had to cancel because the computer was down and could not take credit cards. We said we had cash, they then said it could be a long wait before we would be served as kitchen also relied on the computer. We took our chances went in and waited, eventually had a great meal ! Perseverance is omnipotent , from a mixed race party.”
