From the moment we walk through the beautiful doors we felt the enthusiasm of the staff to serve. Our hostess met us with a smile an engaging conversation; We were then seated with a spectacular view of the harbor. Our waitress was such a joy; she had a sixth sense of when to engage in conversation and when to let us be. She was always there (somehow) when we needed her. The food was excellent and very tasty; my compliments to the chef!!!!
As a young 18 year old this place is where I took my now wife of 35 years for our first date. So, to be able to celebrate our 35 wedding anniversary here has been a wonderful treat. The Captain’s Table did not disappoint and is a must if one is looking for fine dining, fine food, fine atmosphere, and a wonderful staff.

My wife took me here for my birthday. It’s been a while since we were here because we had a bad experience with service. But we are sure glad we went back. Couldn’t have been better. Food was excellent, atmosphere perfect and service top notch. Sat on balcony at a high top and watched a gorgeous sunset over the harbor. Our waiter Ari was the absolute best. Great guy and obviously very experienced. Super friendly and very attentive. Super pleased with the entire experience.

Visited the Captain’s Table one last time. Do sad that it is closing. After 45 years, it is one of the best waterfront restaurants in Southwest Florida. We have enjoyed coming here for years. The food is always excellent, the calamari is perfect, the bread is warm, the honey butter is yummy. Our waitress Corrina was top notch. If you can get here soon, enjoy.

We were so pleased that we made a last-minute decision to eat at this restaurant! The service was phenomenal and the food was exceptional! We had a great view of the water and a beautiful sunset. Prices were very good the quality of the food, the nice atmosphere and the service! Can’t wait to return.

We have been here before, we have a severe garlic allergy and the chef was wonderful at cooking everything from scratch. So we decided to comeback to this wonderful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately we made reservations for Feb 17th at 7 pm. We ordered or food. And it came to us cover in garlic 3 times in a row.
Our waiter seem to be very busy cause we have to keep asking the bus girl to help us with our food. We had to ask for utensils several times, and we ended up having dinner 2 hours after, and just eating whatever did not have garlic in our plate since we were starving and tired of the mistakes in the kitchen. Once the waiters were cleaning around us and the restaurant was empty they sent us a complementary dessert…we were very disappointed at the time. We have a spoon of the vanilla ice cream paid the bill and left with a very bitter taste. Don’t think we’ll be back.

Location and views are great, food was just alright for me. We went for lunch and there was no wait, there were people eating, but not busy by any means. A couple of the people at my table had the lobster grilled cheese and enjoyed it, but one wished it was cheesier/had more cheese. I had a crab cake BLT, and while it was fine, it didn’t have much flavor. The crab cake itself was very basic and didn’t taste like it had any seasonings besides maybe salt and pepper, I would not order it again. The french fries were seasoned and were good. Grouper fingers were ok, one was inedible and was tough. If we were to go again, I would skip the seafood and get something basic like a salad or burger. The overall flavor of the food seemed tailored to a bland palate, it was fine but left more to be desired from all of us. However, Corrina our server was fantastic and very attentive.

We came in for dinner reservation at 7.. there was an issue for reservation’s it did show online it was for that day..( this was done that morning before dinner that evening) but oddly by that evening when we arrived and I gave my name they claimed they had no reservation for us..I go online and there’s my reservation but not for that day but for 2 days later on a Monday??? I know I made it for Saturday..so I’d never trust the app they have ” open table” to book dining anywhere again.. there was 2 front hostess a young man & a young lady..they were not very friendly or understanding but then another gentleman came over and I explained the situation and he was so helpful and I appreciated his kindness.. thank you..he sat us at a awesome table in the corner by Windows looking over the water… The waitress after 15mins finally came to the table, she was nice but definitely distracted.. we had appetizers which were the best part of the meal.. the bread tasted hot and delicious, my Captain’s chowder was awesome.. the green fried tomatoes were different than what I expected but good ..after the longest wait I’ve ever experienced out dining the main course arrived.. what a disappointment.. the mash potatoes were cold but good.. broccolini tasted like frozen from the bag but was ok.. but the stars of each plate were definitely losers..the seafood trio a overpriced trio of the smallest most tasteless shrimp I’ve ever eat..no joke it looked as pathetic as it tasted.. I swear they had to be frozen and if not what an insult to FL shrimp.. the seafood platter was even worse.. the grouper was tasteless, the grilled shrimp tasted more like shriveled propane ,the scallops were small lit pieces with no flavor whatsoever….the crabmeat yuck!! tasted like canned cheap crabmeat..or substitute crab””. and ( btw I’m from a island that serves up delicious seafood so I know the difference)… it was an expensive experience with a spectacular view.. and your paying for the view for sure cause it’s not the food..after 2 hour and 30min we finally got out… I wouldn’t recommend going here if you like delicious food “” if your looking for a pretty view you can get that anywhere on the waterfront so save your money..I had better from fastfood McDonald’s than from here..

Wonderful place with a great view. The service was excellent and the food was ok. The prices are reasonable as well. The only critique would be that there’s room for improvement with the food quality.

We had our wedding at the captains table in the back room. We booked it a few months in advance maybe September.. We met with Michelle Mancini she was our booking organizer. Many wonderful ideas of how to decorate as we had a Messianic ceremony. We went in a few weeks before to measure and see how guests would be seated. We had more than we had originally planned so going to have some on deck instead of the music out there. On arriving to Captians table we found we’re no longer able to use the deck was damaged in the hurricane. It was unusable and not be fixed before our day and I think I stood there and cried silently, not knowing what was going to happen. We left disheartened, Michelle called and we went back the following day. She was a miracle worker, moving the furniture around, showing us a new way we could line up the tables, put our chuppah and a special spot for the ketubah. The food was moved to the small lower deck which was perfect and we had part of the outside deck for sunset photos. Michelle ordered special tablecloths to match our color and lighting that was beautiful. The night was magical, music and deco was more than we could of asked for. All of the ladies and gentleman that worked our wedding were not only professional but so sweet and accommodating to everyone.
To the cooks – the food was amazing coconut shrimp, lobster, and our private chef who cut the beef was so good. Everything was absolutely stunning and it wouldn’t have all worked as well as it did if it wasn’t for you, Michelle thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
