Heidi GJanuary 26, 2018Strawberry blue cheese salad--wonderful.sharing was the perfect amount. Short Rib was delicious--horseradish sauce a great addition. Crab cakes-too little crab,too much breading. Great service!Upvote2Downvote- Chicy BabeSeptember 2, 2021An incredible menu, paired w/ a pretty extensive wine menu, considering it only seats ~30 ppl. Service is impeccable, yet warm & not stuffy. Try for a table near sunset, you won’t be disappointed.Upvote1Downvote

Michael P. HillMarch 13, 2014Loved the grouper with ginger glaze. Coconut risotto is light and not overly sweet. Definitely worth the extra money rather than eating on the so-so restaurants on Captiva.

Ilana YokelJanuary 7, 2013The Spiced Watermelon Salad is phenomenal! The sunset is beautiful out of the big window, and there is really no bad seat. The decor is whimsical and tasteful, and all the food is delicious!UpvoteDownvote
Rebekah MathewsDecember 25, 2015Easily the best meal I have ever had! It is very expensive, so come here for a special occasion, but the seafood is divine!

- Been vacationing here for over 29 years now. Best food on the island. Do the filet mignon and add the lobster tail. Also, Caesar salad make you go ooooh.UpvoteDownvote
