    It was our first time there. We went off season since we both work for a steakhouse we love trying new places. We loved it. Everything was wonderful. Our server was fantastic.

    Everything about Old Captiva House was amazing. I actually went two nights in a row because the menu was so good. The service was exceptional. Boy waiters were had great recommendations. Took there time to check on me and make sure my every need was taken care of. And the view! And the restaurant itself, my husband thought I was a a bed and breakfast because it was so charming. The food, steak, soup, appetizers, dessert… but the lobster crab crust scallops just melted and n my mouth. And the butter sauce… m getting hungry just thinking about it. I’m can not wait for my next visit.

    The service was excellent. Anthony was our server and he went over and above to make everything perfect. This is the second time we died at disestablishment. I ordered the same dish, which is the watermelon snapper. The fish was great.

    Loved the location and the overall ambiance. Food was amazing and dinner ended just in time to walk across the street to watch the sunset with my wife. Robin our server was very personable and made our already great experience so much better. We will be back :)
