    I enjoyed the fried shrimp basket and draft Kona wave beer pairing. I thought that the cocktail sauce could have used more horseradish...a little bit too mild. Service was prompt and enthusiastic wait staff. Outdoor dining is an option with live music in the afternoon. Good eats and fun time while visiting Captiva.

    Shrimp pasta marinara
    Andrew C.

    After a day on captiva cruises we didn't have to wander far to find this place. Beautiful day and very happy to sit outside. Besides the sun there was live music with a very friendly artist as well. Server was great and the kitchen staff helped entertain our kids with the giant lizards they caught out back and showed us! Really neat. The food was pretty good, the only criticism would be higher prices for some of the dishes. Mainly my shrimp pasta was just alright. Also one of my drinks was a little funky (Bloody Mary that had a coco rum flavor in it) . The fish tacos were a raving hit though! Great flavor and really stood alone; catch of the day is probably the best go to. I would recommend trying this place out and especially looks like the breakfast dishes are a big hit so might have to try that as well.

    Breakfast at RC Otters is awesome and a must when visiting Captiva! Service is friendly and quick and the food is delicious.

    Fish of the day sandwich

    We've enjoyed RC Otters for years and this was our first visit back post-Ian + Milton. My fish sandwich was great. Fish so fresh you would've never been able to guess it was fish. Served piping hot with good crunchy layering. An enjoyable seafood meal for sure. My group also enjoys their peel n eat shrimp. I'm sure we will be back.

    Seafood fajitas...not a great photo

    My parents and I came here before I left Florida. What a cute spot on Captiva Island. We arrived early, so it wasn't busy. As the night went on, the restaurant started filling up. They have live music on Sunday nights, maybe each weekend night. My parents and I split the seafood fajitas which was more than enough for 3 people. The seafood was a combination of shrimp, scallops and fresh fish, which was all very delicious. They give you 3 fresh tortillas to start with, but will give you more if needed. If you find yourself on captiva island and are looking for something good to eat, I'd definitely recommend coming to RC Otters!

    Hank's Fish reuben & kettle chips
    Phil E.

    I'm glad they are open and survived the Ian hurricane. They were closed a bit for a Hallmark movie shoot (that's kinda cool). Fish (Hank's) reuben was pretty decent. Prices seemed pretty steep - $3 upcharge for fries Atmosphere a dingy Jamacian vibe Live musician daily

    Lobster bisque
    Mirella K.

    I came here with a group of girls for dinner on a Friday around 7:30pm and we were seated immediately. It was relatively empty with some people outside mostly! They have many tables for groups which is nice. This is a super beachy restaurant with bright colors which sets the vaca vibe. Our server was very friendly, too, along with the bussers! Very attentive and personable. They have classic cocktails like rum runners and pina coladas, but our server informed us it's made with wine coolers and not actual liquor. I ordered the lobster bisque and it was okay - it tasted different than other lobster bisques I've had and there was barely chunks of lobster in it. I wouldn't order it again but instead try something else. We had two orders of the crab cakes and they were nothing crazy, but the coleslaw with it was really good. The spinach artichoke dip was pretty good, and so were the fries. The veggie fajitas were pretty bland based off what my friend said about her meal. I'd come here for some appetizers try other food options, and sit outside and listen to some love music!

    $16 in up charges that were not explained on the menu.
    Sallie Vee W.

    We came to have lunch and we're robbed! There was an up charge on three items that were not described or explained on the menu or bythe wait staff. See photo. There was no manager available or on premises to discuss the charges and therefore they were paid.

    Amazed at how well progress has been made here since the hurricane almost 3 years ago. So worth the…read moretrip of season that is.. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip, it will blow your mind. The service is adorable with their "bubble Scouts "giving you some history of the building and the number of floors to view once your meal is done.. so beautiful so nostalgic so fun a trip back in time. I had the McTirk ( named after Kirk Douglas and Steve, McQueen), a delicious turkey, provolone, bacon, pepper, jelly, basil, mayo, deliciousness wrap. Holy heck, it was so good!! Head on the road early so you're here right when they open up.. the traffic getting on the island can be overwhelmingly, slow, and even standing still.

    Been coming here for over 30 years and it's always been outstanding…read more We were in fortmyers for a celebration of life so we stayed an extra day to come here it's a bit of a drive but usually worth it. The food was still amazing and the place looks the same with minor changes since the storm. The disappointment here is the front end. They hired a very childish boy as a hostess. Flamey and rude. Very dramatic and rather than trying to help people ( such as locating a restroom) he spews a very long story about where it is instead of pointing to it two feet away. He was talking and laughing about a customer when I came out. I presume me I only needed to wash my hands. He's lucky I didn't tell him off but I didn't want to let him ruin our evening and have my husband hear. He's ( Anthony) a little punk though.
