    So great that we went 3x this weekend so we got to experience every meal. Food was fantastic and service for 2 of the 3 meals was excellent. One meal had a waitress that was inconsistent…not very friendly and disappeared, but the others more than made up for the one! I’m sure we’ll go again next time we’re in Captiva.

    Our first time at Green Flash was a grand slam! 🍹🥣🦐 From the cucumber mint mojitos to the shrimp bisque, stuffed shrimp, and stuffed grouper—every bite was unreal. We’ll definitely be back for more!

    Came for breakfast at 9am and out of a few things we wanted to order. Food was good but disappointed we couldn’t get the food we wanted. Some was sold out and some they just didn’t carry even though it was on the menu.
