Restaurants near Museum of the Islands

My favorite restaurant on Captiva! We celebrated our son’s birthday and it was an awesome experience. Inside and outside seating. Wonderful food. Great service. Great cocktails. The bacon wrapped shrimp is my favorite. Beautiful view of the bay. Love it!!

We had a delicious brunch at Cooper's hawk today. The avocado toast and creme brulee french toast were yummy and the rockstar mimosa and cranberry spritz were awesome. My teen daughter really enjoyed her meal as well as her "no-mosa." Great non-alcoholic option! Our server, Sean(sp), was very attentive and friendly. Best service I've had recently.

The Tarpon Lodge is a lovely old hotel on the water. We go there on special occasions for the filet mignon. It never fails to be fabulous. I also lunch there with friends frequently. Their menu is small, but the food and staff are wonderful. Their meals are definitely pricey, but so worth it.

Christmas Day and the buffet was good and varied. It was also being very well managed by the staff. Our server was very professional and helpful.

Our Christmas dinner was exceptional at Terra Nostra with Ethan taking good care of us as we dined. The Ravioli Cardinale and Rigatoni Carne were superb as was the caesar salad. The bolognese sauce on the rigatoni was fantastic and for dessert the pistachio gelato was amazing. Not to be forgotten is the Italian bread served with homemade olive butter and oil. Overall a top notch meal !
