    A Captiva Island mainstay. Wide and varied menu, we loved the fresh seafood. Great drink menu. Nice views of the bay. We sat inside by the window on a cool night, but I could see patio seating would be very popular. Excellent service.

    We had a great dinner at The Green Flash! It was my fiancée birthday. They comped a dessert when I told them. She had Veal Zurich and really enjoyed it. I had stuffed shrimp. Six shrimp with crab and breadcrumbs stuffing. If you’ve had this before you know it’s a small mound of stuffing on a butterflied shrimp, but very tasty! The dessert we chose was a chocolate mousse. Wonderful! Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and mousse!

    So thankful that Green Flash survived the storms this fall! We had a wonderful dinner for 9 last week. Food, drinks, service all exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to return our next trip to Captiva!

    Attended the Island Hopper Music Festival. Food was great. We had the fish of the day with rice and veggies. It was cooked perfectly. Our server, Debbie, was friendly and very attentive. Only improvement would have been to adjust the sound a little bit for the female singer. It was much too loud. We commented to the music technician, but he did not make any adjustments. Perhaps some people enjoy music that is ear piercing, we do not. Overall we had a great time.
