   Second visit to Old Captiva House and it didn’t disappoint. Still think it’s best place to eat on Captiva. Cocktails are spot on too. Will definitely return next time we visit.

   We had never been here before and were very impressed. Food and service was superb. Staff very attentive. Was a bit noisy though as we were sat next to the bar. Next time we will definitely try to sit in the front room

   Old Captiva HouseResponded on September 18, 2022Thanks Roxychick for the great review! Our apologies, the main dining room is usually a bit quieter than this past weekend, we did have the Island Hopper Festival on property so we hope that you got an opportunity to at least enjoy some of the live music too. We will happily share your review with our staff and we hope to see you again in the future!

   Went to Old Captiva House for our anniversary dinner tonight. Had drinks, roasted shrimp cocktail appetizer, salad. I had the chef special which was golden tile fish and hubby had the NY strip. We then shared crème brûlée for dessert. Our meals were fabulous and the ambiance was quiet reserved and very classy. It was a great end to a beautiful anniversary day.

The very short walk across the street to watch the sunset was convenient! We’ve been there for breakfast and dinner and will def return next time we are in the area!

    Bkfst is excellent and moderately priced with some unusual, tasty choices, like homemade shrimp sausage omelette and Grand Marnier French Toast. Many bkfst choices, compared to dinner which is good, but expensive, with fewer choices, and hardly anything for Vegans.

    Old Captiva HouseResponded on August 29, 2022Thanks for your review Tiki, happy to hear you enjoyed your meals with us. Next time you are in the area just ask to speak with the Chef in duty if you have something in particular in mind.

    Pretty venue and nice menu but the coking was not quite as good as it should have been. Bisque was lukewarm and bland. Wedge salad was drowned in dressing and whatever they added to make it red took away from the blue cheese flavor. Mains had a sour taste to the sauces. Key lime pie was extraordinarily basic for such a nice place.

    We arrived a few minutes early, but were seated straight away. Foul weather and being on motorcycles meant we were drenched and bedraggled, yet still welcomed as warmly as anyone else in attendance. Our server Hannah was very friendly yet efficient, as were the various others stopping by to refill water glasses, clear plates, etc. The food was impeccable, three of our party order filet at three different finished temperatures, yet all came out simultaneously along with my Gruyère chicken Alfredo, We lingered over the food, really enjoying the meal and did not feel rushed. A lovely experience, and one we look forward to repeating next time we ride that way.

    Overall, a VERY nice experience! Warm greetings from the host table as we entered! Our server, David, was attentive and helpful, so was Tavari when we had a little service mishap! Nice quiet birthday celebration with a pleasing water view that reminded us of our "tropical" location. Our party of 4 enjoyed all of their cocktails! The cioppino and steak were excellent, but the blackened fish with polenta, no so much AND the iceberg wedge was drowned by an over abundance of so-so dressing French blue cheese dressing. We shared a slice of carrot cake (with a birthday candle) of which we all agreed was one of the best we've ever had! We would definitely come back!!

    Waitress was fully engaged with another table that came in after us. Forgot to bring bread as promised. Food was a split, scallops were good, but overpriced. Prawns on lobster risotto was not good. Risotto was sitting in the pot/kitchen too long, it was mushy and the lobster claw meat was overcooked. The risotto also had too much wine in it. Topping the risotto were three prawns that were not prawns just extra large shrimp (only three in serving as well) and were severely overcooked. I do not mind paying for quality food, this was not quality food. We spent $150 on 2 entrees and two drinks.

    Old Captiva HouseResponded on August 19, 2022Thank you for your comments Kerry, we will share this with our team. We work diligently to speak with each and every table during their dining experience to ensure 100% satisfaction.

    10/10 recommend dinner here! The service was terrific. We come here every year during family vacation and this is our one nice family dinner out. The wedge salad and blue crab soup were delish. I got the filet and it was mouth watering cooked to perfection. My husband gets the Fisherman’s Stew every year and loves it. My dad enjoyed his sea bass. The decor is very beautiful like old Key West or Old Captiva style hah.

    Our server, Hannah, was very professional. She knew the dishes and the wine list. My only real complaint was that the wine and beer lists were quite abbreviated, particularly the beer list (see attached photo). I mean, not a single local brew and there are several available in Lee County, home of this restaurant. A disappointment.

One was a local fish and one a steak. Everything we ordered was delicious-escargo , lobster crab cake & lobster ravioli apps; Ribeye and Crab/lobster encrusted scallops, and I prefer Tri Tail over Pompano fish. Key lime pie is amazing!
