“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The hostess and our waitress, Amanda were great. The hostess directed us away from a noisy child and Amanda was very friendly, courteous and helpful the whole evening. We were celebrating a couple birthdays and Amanda made it a memorable event! We highly recommend both the Shipyard and Amanda.“

“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!“

“This was our second time dining at the Crows Nest and everything was spectacular. Our server Scott was professional and made our anniversary dinner memorable . The glorious sunset that we viewed from our table made the experience even more memorable! Can't wait to dine there again! Don't lose Scott!“
