    We had a lovely dinner with family and a gracious server, who had too many tables. The food was excellent.

    Meals we’re good but not “Mouthwatering cuisine.” The food lacked flavorful seasoning. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere but I would not list it as romantic. Lighting was rather bright and only part of the seating has a good sunset view.

    Oh reservation was for 5:30, which was the perfect time to arrive. Only four other tables were being served then. By 7:00 the restaurant was full. We had excellent and timely service but we were not rushed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plated beautifully. There was soft background music playing, except for the first half hour there was a small noisy child. Once that family left, it was very peaceful. The Old Captiva House is a charming place to eat.

    The staff was very accommodating, finding a nice table for 7 people inside, due to chilly winds on patio. Service and ambiance very pleasant. A very enjoyable evening !
