If you are vacationing on Sanibel or Captiva Island, this restaurant on Sanibel is the choice for most of us. I mean, I'm not a millionaire, even though it is located on a million-dollar island. The food is surprisingly tasty and at a decent cost. There may be other restaurants like it but I'm not aware of them. The bar... more

Ate here twice in August. Quite busy both times. The menu is big ~ 250 items. Massive portions, friendly, helpful staff, good service. Would recommend for hungry families wanting something much better than fast food at a good price. Loved the shrimp more

The staff is friendly and the ambience casually ocean-themed. The only problem we have when dining there is making up our... more

Food was very good for the price, staff was friendly and prompt. For a beach type sit down family dining with kids it is a great place. Atmosphere is a fun, geared toward kids decor with 3 televisions tuned to kid shows. more
