“They offer a very varied selection of typical Cuban dishes, cakes, sweets and food. I have visited this place since it opened its doors and it was only half the size it is now... and it is understood that with time and inflation the prices have had to increase but it is already somewhat exaggerated... some things have increased 200% in price. price. Currently I rarely go for this reason and I know many people who agree with me and are no longer regular customers.“

Great views and ambience for my birthday celebration.“

“This was great for our souls in the midst of hurricane rebuild. Great atmosphere. Great food and great staff. Thank you Kylie!! You rock.“

“Great food but most importantly, great people make this restaurznt the best of it's kind anywhere in SW Florida. Shrimp portions are generous and if you like real southern cooking. Their authentic gumbo and creole jambalaya will warm your heart. If you happen to want an even warmer heart, you can up the heat with the ghost pepper version. You will encounter some great cooks and some attentive servers who will make your visits habit-forming!“

“Well for starters the escargot, raw oysters, and oysters Rockefeller were out of this world. Both the red and white clam chowder were like perfection in a bowl. My entrée was the baked stuffed shrimp and hands down AMAZING. Our waitress was YO and she knew everything about the history of the restaurant to the menu. I was very interested in the collection of oyster shells on the walls and she explained that as well. TEN STARS !!! I recommend to anyone who loves fresh seafood and visits Sanibel Island.“

“Mushroom Risotto with truffle oil. Iron Cast Beef Filet Medallions. Cioppino Excellent! Servers were excellent!! Shout out to Manager Sarah. very accommodating. Thank You!!!!!“

“We’ve hung out there for years every Tues & Fri nite- totally loving the atmosphere & Jim Anderson & karaoke!! So so sad & disappointed he’s not here anymore- fired by B B s - crappy live music only😢. The whole atmosphere has changed & we’re heartbroken-seriously!!!!“

“I was sightseeing in Sanibel and found this place before driving back to the east coast. The service was great and their grouper sandwich was one of the best I've had. Wishing you much success! Definitely recommending to friends traveling to Sanibel Island. 🙂“

“Rusty's is, without a doubt, a great place to be, with great food, lots of fun to be had, and great servers.“

“A nice location that I visited while visiting the gulf coast. Food was decent, drinks were cold, and overall a pleasurable experience. Visited by boat and had plenty of dock space. Walked up to bar area where we ordered drinks and started tab and walked up to a table to sit for lunch. While we got out food, ended up walking up to bar for another drink. While this part falls on me, did not pay close attention to the bill and realized they tagged on a service fee, which was essentially the tip. I generously tipped on the total balance, not realizing tip was included. Once back at home, attempted to contact the location and never heard back. While it clearly falls on me, think it is crappy when locations tag on service fees for small groups. Mix in a few cocktails, and pretty sure I'm not the only person who fell for this. Don't mind paying island pricing, however the added service charge is annoying especially when you are pretty much expected to walk up to bar and order your drinks. guess the servers had a good tip day. would probably go back, but would be more attentive to the tip surcharge.“

“Tween Waters did great given that Old Captiva House is under refurbishment, My only complaint was that the venue was small and you could hear everyone's conversation. We were very happy with the food though. We don't normally go to Old Captiva House, but if the food is this good we'll go. Until next time.“

“Very nice restaurant! Very good food and service! Be hungry, they serve a ton of great Mexican food!“

“Great food and drinks right on the water- only complaint is the prices are a bit high compared to a lot of places. (Especially off season on a weekday) I took a pic of happy hour specials that look a little more reasonable . They do have Half portions of some menu items that shake out a little cheaper.“

“Front of house was wonderful and super friendly. I loved Jess. I will say, kitchen needs some quality control. Food was sent out with no sauces and celery had been frozen in parts of it. It’s so simple to look at stuff before you send it to the table and goes so far for an experience.“
