A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

It was pretty hot by 1pm so we opted yo stay indoors. My husband & I both had the same thing-LR w fries. They are not New England style meaning they're served cold not hot mixed w mayo not butter. I didn't know that and I don't care much for mayo so this makes it 4 not 5 starts for me. The roll was toasted and lightly buttered which for me made it the highlight of the sandwich. The rolls came w hearty cut fries w the option of reg or Old Bay salt. We went regular but I bet OB is tasty too. The fries were well cooked good quality and nice and hot. The meal was served with a lemon half that had been grilled. Never had seen this before. Not quite sure what the grilling does but it was what seemed like a nice touch. This was one of the more expensive good options in Harbor Yard but it is lobster after all. We enjoyed it but would have preferred it not mixed with mayo. Still a tasty meal. Service was average. The cashier who took our order wasn't as friendly as the others we encountered during our stay @ Sunseeker. Not rude but didn't see her crack a smile either.

For entrees we had the scallops w black pasta, surf n turf slash/ flash burn snapper and the filet mignon. The red snapper was out of this world. One of the best we've had. The scallops were v tasty too. The surf n turf good too n so was the filet mignon v juicy. Generous portions. We topped it off w key lime pie n caramel n sea salt s'more.. Heavenly. The smore was one of a kind. Sorry forgot to take photo of slash/ flash red snapper. Tx u for a delicious meal .

Never a bad experience at The Oyster Society!…read more We were back in the wine room, so the vibe was intimate and quiet, which was perfect for our group. Obviously, got a lot of oysters. Our usuals are the Pink Moons but we also tried some local oysters and they were delicious! I got the seared scallops with the black spaghetti and it was great. Always love their seafood! Overall I think everyone loved the food - a friend got the lamb shank and said it was amazing. The only thing that could have been improved was the surf n turf special. The steak (which I think was a strip) was reported to be lacking in flavor... Pro tip - don't skip on the free bread/cornbread and butter! It's the perfect carb start to any meal!!

I am not a seafood eater but my mother-in-law wanted a lobster tail so we came here. Every part of every dish was absolutely delicious. I will say that while the meat of the kids tenders was juicy and thick, they were definitely no better than any place else. Probably frozen, no seasoning either. But my mahi was cook beautifully with this wonderful Reese on top of it, and we had several items that were all great. Best server in the house: Sue. I gave four stars for the meeting because of the fish smell and the chicken tenders that were phoned in.

We've lived in this town for more than 40 years and have never dined at this restaurant. I don't know what it looked like in the past, but it doesn't feel like they have changed their menu or their pricing in ages. Service was great, the food was ok, and the drinks were mediocre. It was nice to check this off our bucket list, but I don't see us going back. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't worth a second trip to us. The restaurant was buzzing with people. I can see why it is a staple in the community, we just prefer something a little more memorable.

Can't wait to visit again.

Great spot in Fort Myers for family dinner!…read more Our server Austin was great and the ambiance was nice, live music on Saturday night is always a vibe. I tried the shrimp scampi and Tuna Tutaki off the summer deal menu Tuna Tutaki is the same size as if you ordered it off the regular menu, same as the scampi huge portion. We also ordered the Grouper Oscar which was delicious if we're being picky it could of had more sauce. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was their skinny margarita and that's just based off my flavor preference. For dessert The Tower Carrot Cake is equivalent to 3 or 4 big slices, definitely shareable. The Famous Key Lime pie was also amazing but not shareable, it's smaller and so good you'll want it all to yourself! Cheers!

They were backed so we still had to wait for a table but it was a holiday so I don't really hold that against them, just noting. Do note that most parking is valet (complimentary). My husband and I split oysters and the Captains Platter. Captains Platter was tasty but for $40+ - I think they could've given a larger portion of at least the veggie sides. Restaurants who skimp on these always blow my mind, Brussels sprouts are so cheap! What we did have was just ok. Sprouts were soggy and bitter, only a few scallops, but the fish was good. I actually liked the plantains a lot! Our server was fabulous and we did need some help from one of the managers who was also great. It is quite a loud restaurant but again it was packed. Overall, I just wasn't excited about anything we had, and thought the prices were high for the quality. With all the seafood in this area, it would be hard to return here.

We visited Dixie Fish Co on a Friday afternoon. Parking was a bit tricky, so plan ahead. We only…read morewaited about 10 minutes for a table, but it got very busy shortly after we were seated and wait times increased quite a bit. It was a sunny, warm day and we sat outside under an umbrella, though there wasn't much shade coverage. The overall vibe is a casual, waterfront fish shack--laid-back and lively. We started with the stone crabs. While the crab itself was great, the mustard sauce was a little too mayo-forward for our taste and wasn't our favorite. For my entrée, I had the hogfish special served over sweet potato mash with green beans. The hogfish was fresh and delicious, but the sides missed the mark--the green beans were overcooked and the mash was a bit watery and lacked consistency. My husband and daughter both ordered the whole fried fish (yellowtail snapper that day), and they both said it was perfect and absolutely delicious. The fries were good, and while the red beans and rice were just okay, my husband really enjoyed the zucchini and tomato side. Service by Olivia was spectacular--attentive, kind, and always on top of everything we needed. We come back here every time we're in the area. My takeaway: come for the fresh fish and great service, not the sides.
