New American Restaurants near Captiva, FL

“Old Captiva House shows its age in a classy refined way. Historic, elegant, with wonderful food prepared and presented well. This last visit was the first time I experienced a slip in service. We made reservations in advanced, the reservation slip was on the hostess stand, but we were delayed getting a table. The hostess seemed way too flustered and ineffective. An elderly gentleman stepped in and had what appeared to be a minor confrontation with the hostess in front of us and then he brought us to our table. Typical experience of a large chain cheap restaurant. Not the service expected at an elegant dining establishment. Overall, still 4 out of 5 experience. That night, not their typical 5 out of 5 memorable experience. I guess every place has off moments.“

“Food was good and quick service. Quiet laid-back atmosphere.“

“Wonderful food celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday while on vacation. Everything was good, with the grilled shrimp being a favorite amongst our group of 6!“

“The food is amazing and you can tell everything is made with fresh, quality ingredients. We tried the Mermaid, Slawpy Hog, & Big Tex with the Mediterranean orzo salad and watermelon cucumber salad. Everything was delicious and the service was even better-so friendly!! I highly recommend you check them out.“

“Very very nice. Fine dining. Most certainly will return.“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“
