Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Captiva Island

Was well taken care of when we arrived. We seated in area we requested. Server was very polite. Let us know bartender was a little backed up because it was very busy. Only issue was we have gone there for quite a few years & always got bread to start with. Asked after we got our drinks we asked why we hadn't gotten any. We were told that we have to ask/request it. And server never mentioned it that I guess was a change in their policy.

We’ve been here a couple of times and we love it! The service is top-notch. Our server we’ve had him multiple times it’s just amazing and on and on top of his game. Last night we went I had these reservations for about six weeks… When we arrived, they gave us this table that was basically in the middle of the entranceway. We were not happy with that table obviously and we asked if they could switch us to another four top. There was one right across the way, but that didn’t seem to work out. They did find us a table closer to the back which worked out well. The food is extraordinarily delicious. Every dish we had was better than the next. The biggest surprise was the big Alaska! It’s an old time dessert with a new time twist. It was absolutely phenomenal. If you haven’t been you must go.

This is an excellent place to dine. The menu offers many interesting options, especially appreciated by my husband and I who enjoy ordering multiple appetizers sometimes, instead of a full entree. Our drinks were delicious and the carrot cake topped off our last evening of vacation in Florida. And a special thank you to the lovely Kia for making us feel special! They need more parking because everyone wants to eat here!

We had the immense pleasure of taking my mother to Sails for her birthday, and from the moment we arrived, everything was outstanding. The Maître D’ greeted us warmly and took our pictures in front of the restaurant. When we were seated,liike queens, no less!-they had even placed pillows on our chairs, a thoughtful touch that made the evening feel even more special. The level of attentiveness from the staff was impeccable. They were always ready to pour our wine, serve each dish, answer our questions, make suggestions, etc. They even presented my mother with a personalized birthday menu, which she got to take home as a keepsake. After bringing out a birthday cake and making my mother feel truly celebrated, they sent us off with warm smiles and expressed how eager they were to have us back. And the food? Simply divine. We started off with a complimentary truffle amuse-gueule from the chef-an exquisite bite that set the stage for an exceptional meal. We enjoyed the lobster,the lamb, and also ordered the octopus, beet salad, crab and avocado, steak tartare, and my personal favorite-the linguine nori. Every single dish was executed to perfection, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. There wasn’t a single thing we could complain about. This wasn’t just a dinner; it was an experience-one so perfect that I’m already planning my own birthday celebration there (or forcing my family to take me!). If you’re looking for a place that delivers impeccable service, incredible food, and an unforgettable atmosphere, this is it. Ten out of ten-no notes! A huge thank you to Sails’ staff for making my mother’s birthday an affair to remember.

Our first visit and we enjoyed every minute. Service was 5 star thanks to Demi, our server, and Lisa, the manager. Nice wine by the glass selection. Steak and seafood were delicious. Issue with steak was immediately and professionally dealt with. House salad was flavorful. Desserts were substantial portion and superb. It is the best service and food we have had during two weeks in Florida. Highly recommend this restaurant.
