“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

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

“It is one of the few places open, from what we saw driving around. The island is sadly still dealing with the aftermath of the hurricanes. \nWe loved RC Otter's! \nMy husband and I came for a late breakfast - we were sat immediately, they had live music which was great and the ambiance is a laid back-island vibe. Service was friendly...albeit a bit slow but we weren't in a rush by any means. The French toast was some of the best I've ever had. Super fresh and so yummy - husband loved it also. He had the eggs and ham which he loved as well. Easy parking in their parking lot onsite also. Note...you won't find much parking in the area. We would absolutely love to come back on our next trip.“

“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.“

“We were South Seas Resort guests enjoying a date night while our two boys were at Kids Camptiva night out. The food was beyond exceptional as well as the service. Our server, Knox, was amazing with well rounded knowledge on the dishes and his recommendations. And kudos to him for serving us in the heat outside…he didn’t mind a bit and served us with joy. We got the fried Brussel sprouts (so crispy and light) and risotto (rich and flavorful) as the side. My husband had the scrumptious short ribbed ravioli and I had the fresh local snapper with a scampi of seafood from scallops, shrimp and clams - all so light and full of flavor. The atmosphere was a perfect setting for our evening date and followed with a walk on the beach. Knox thought ahead and offered us refreshing ice cold water for the walk. We highly recommended for a low key, romantic evening out—with exceptional service and food all in one place while staying at South Seas!“

“We came here for a sunset dinner with a great ocean view on the second floor. The old fashioned menu was terrific especially the breakfast version that was a sweet / salty balance. Our starter of Beef Tips & Wild Mushrooms was tender and flavorful. Our mains we split the cowboy ribeye medium rare and it was melt in your mouth. The brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese side left us very satisfied. Our server Brian I believe was very attentive and helpful giving us suggestions. We overhead another table nearby being extremely rude to him but he maintained his professionalism way more than I would in his shoes! (Some people just shouldn’t go out) If you’re visiting and want a special dinner with a view I highly recommend giving a try.“
