    Due to chilly weather, we had to eat indoors. The main level was outrageously noisy. Obviously appealing to a younger party crowd. With the loud music, everyone seemed to be yelling to be heard. Fortunately they accommodated us upstairs, which was lovely. The food and service was as excellent as our prior experiences. It seems that the restaurant has changed it’s goal in appealing to a party crowd rather than those is us who come to enjoy the sunset, dolphins, pelicans and old Florida ambience.

    One of the best meals I’ve had in years! Grilled Salmon with a mango salsa and olenta, superb! Dessert of chocolate mousse was sinful. I could go every day for a week!

    We have been going to the Green Flash for more years than I can count and for whatever reason this seemed like an even better experience than normal. It was a busy night but they honored our reservation in a timely manner. The artichoke appetizer was outstanding and large so it is easily shared. The grouper Cafe du Paris was well prepared and ample size. Always a nice experience and we will return again when on Captiva.

    I’m sure it’s a good experience for folks looking for a leisurely dinner, but service was too slow for a family with 3 kids. Then, they told my mom her meal DID have nuts in it after all, after serving it to her and her having taken a few bites. Fortunately it ended up being a mixup, but we were all terrified we had to somehow get from Captiva to a hospital fast. It was very stressful.
