What a great experience, from being greeted by the hostess to the manager checking on us. Our server was outstanding. The steak are delicious and the view is beautiful. Highly recommend

Incredible food and service. We felt like royalty from the second we went upstairs until we left. Can't say enough how great the Crow's Nest was that evening. The views! Awesome! Food! Out of this world good! Highly, Highly recommend!

Our meal was outstanding. Special thank you to dining manager Brian who recognized us as frequent Tween Waters guests throughout the years and acknowledged us by name. We were dining to celebrate our 38th anniversary which began on Captiva. Food was delicious and service by waiter Scott exceptional. Enjoyed Jumbo Shrimp and Blue Crab Cocktail & Lobster Corn Chowder apps, NY Strip and Lollipop Chop dinners, and the most delicious Crème Brûlée with vanilla bean flavors in addition to wine and Champagne. All fabulous. We loved the quiet intimacy and unbelievable view of the Gulf at Crows Nest and we will return again!

We're staying out at South Seas this week and since some of our go to restaurants are no longer around decided to try Crow's Nest, even though we saw some so so reviews. Wonderful views of the gulf with spectacular sunsets. Our meals start to finish was great. My husband had the lamb chops and I opted for the pork chop. Both cooked according to our specifications, we shared a good Caesar salad and...dessert was a wonderful carrot cake. Yes pricey but totally enjoyable and already know we will be back!

Brian, Scott, Cece, these are just a few of the names you'll remember of the amazing staff, and service experienced at this sunset viewing and dinning experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've always belonged here due to the level of attention and detail to making you feel welcomed. The menu teases you to the exquisite dinner you're about to experience while the setting sun fills the room with a golden hue that undoubtedly leaves a permanent memory in your soul. Even if you can't make the sunset dinner, the ambience, cuisine, and staff make the trip out to this new Captiva dining treasure worth the trip. If you love the Sanibel and Captiva lifestyles, then a visit to this resturant needs to be part of your adventure. A memory to cherish of why you love these islands as you dream of returning once again some day. And for us lucky locals, I hope to be returning often to the Captiva Crow's Nest Steakhouse.

Ordered 6 oz Filet Oscar which is supposed to be with lump crab meat and was served filet with brown mushroom sauce then to fix it they just gave me a plate of crab cake filling!! Vegetables and chips were delicious. Steaks were ok. Margarita was good. Not worth the $$$$

One third of the menu appetizers were out of stock. 45 minutes at the table waiting to order food. Waitstaff over-whelmed. Lobster with Blue crab stuffing is listed as GF on the menu, but it is not because it has bread crumbs. Ordered a wedge salad, they brought us a ceasar salad. The shaved brussel sprouts were uneditable as they we extremely salty, The $92 cowboy ribeye was too salty to eat, and I like salty. Brought us the wrong bill that excluded the wine, had to update the bill No apologies, no comp from the wait staff.

The service was lacking versus what we are expected to pay for the food. There was 1 waiter on for the whole restaurant during what appeared to be a full dining room on a Sunday night. There were excessive gaps between contact with the staff. My order was made incorrectly, and I watched my wife eat her dinner. If you are charging the prices, you are, you should ensure the service is on par with the money asked. It's unfortunate because the atmosphere is accommodating and inviting.
Tom
The food and service were good. One steak was overcooked but they comped a dessert. Overall we would eat there again.

My husband had rack of lamb which wasn't v good. Seemed like it was an aged lamb My sea bass was delicious. But v small portion Otherwise v nice.
The Crow's Nest was amazing! EJ took great care of us. The food and ambiance were perfect. Love the vibe there — a lot classier than most upscale Florida restaurants.
Jack
Absolutely amazing. Super romantic. The main manager check on us frequently to make sure everything tasted good
Mari
Steaks are outstanding. Oysters and salads not so much. Vegetables uninspiring. Service mixed. Menu is too "traditional", needs to be updated to be relevant and interesting. But like I said, steaks are outstanding!

Amazing views, great ambiance, falls disappointingly flat thereafter. Found it to be extremely overpriced, and menu quite limited for what they’re trying to be. Wouldn’t rank it within my top 5 island dining options

This is a great adult venue when you want a quiet romantic evening. Special celebrations from proposal's to birthdays to anniversaries. Perfect sunset view.
