This restaurant came recommended to us by our friends and it didn't disappoint…read more A very welcoming decor in the main dining area with nice views of the marina/inlet. The creative menu offers many seafood and meat lovers options to choose from. My wife and I try to get as much grouper as we can when in Florida and there are two unique dishes we ordered that were just delicious: Stuffed Grouper and their "Cafe De Paris" prepared Grouper. The AuGratin potato side dish went well with our entrees and house vegetable. As much as I like key lime pie, their sorbet version was nice but I wouldn't write home about it. Our server was pleasant and on point without being overbearing. No question one of the premier restaurants in Sanibel/ Captiva Island.

The vibe in this rebuilt / relaunched place was uplifting. We ordered a grouper sandwich, crab cakes and some of freshest oysters I've had ever. I also tried the shrimp bisque that was so delicious. Unfortunately, the newly erected sand dune/burm blocks the view to take in a sunset. Don't let that stop you from coming here for a satisfying experience on Captiva Island.

This people couldn't find the smallest shrimp , we were so surprised. Then after how terrible food was and over highly priced, we thought we can at least go to the beach for a few minutes after we finished eating and then suddenly the restaurant parking attendant started telling us we need to go and can only park to eat there but not for beach , it was not even full , had lots of parking and in the past you were able to do it , that's why it was so great ....

The food is decent -- you won't find fine dining here, but that's not really the point. The menu hits the beach bar essentials with fresh seafood, burgers, and a few island favorites. Service is friendly and efficient, even when the place gets busy, and the live music adds a great coastal vibe without overpowering conversation. It's the kind of place you drop into after a day at the beach, grab a drink, and just enjoy the scene. RC Otters isn't trying to be a Michelin-starred restaurant -- it's a beach bar, and a good one at that.

With its multi-colorful exterior it makes you feel in vacation mode just looking at it. They have an equal amount of indoor an outdoor seating, and we opted for outdoor when we came for breakfast. RC Otters is open the earliest of the few restaurants on Captiva, aside from Starbucks if you count that. All of the standard breakfast offerings were on the menu, plus a special of theirs is a breakfast sandwich that's an omelette wedged between two pieces of french toast. Kind of fun. The food was good, nothing stellar but it was decent. It was altogether an enjoyable morning with the colorful setting. They are open all day for other meals so can't speak to how the lunch or dinner food is, but we enjoyed the breakfast.

We also just walked in after dinner one evening and one of the servers got us rang up and got our dessert pretty quickly which was nice. The key lime was lovely. It was the right amount of tart, along with the whipped cream and some tart raspberry /lime syrup and it was a splendid combination. It was the perfect dessert to enjoy after a nice beach day and staying in paradise on Captiva. Can't speak for the actual food but the restaurant is super adorable and has half indoor and half outdoor seating and it's really nice. Plus, great key lime pie!

I have food allergies and was very surprised that with their price fixed menu I had little to no options to enjoy alternative food options.

So Joanna (waitserver), 10% may not seem like much of a tip but you had not even kept basics of earning the 20% let alone more than that. We will probably try this Captiva Cantina next visit, but driving 20 extra minutes to go to Rosalleta's may just be better.
