Sunshine Seafood Cafe

This restaurant is a true home run. A best kept secret. I’ve been here twice, bringing four friends the second time last night. How can there be such perfection? Food is absolutely delicious, the service, spot on. The restaurant is quaint and intimate. Food is the best I’ve had on the islands.

The food was great!! Definitely wow factor for us!! Service was awesome too!!

Best dining spot on the island, by far! Excellent food, outstanding standing service, quiet ambiance. Will return again❤️

Disappointed. Great sounding menu but the food not as tasty as the description. Prices on the higher side...

Very rude and not welcoming athmosphere. Restaurant was almost empty, anyway, we did not get a table

Loved the seafood gumbo! Highly recommend this place!

It was amazing! The owner was very kind and the food was delicious. They were attentive and welcoming, making our experience unforgettable. Definitely going back when in Captiva!

Amazing food and service. We had the scallop and the Brussels sprouts appetizers and they were both outstanding. Also had the paella which was excellent. I would definitely recommend taking the scenic drive over from Sanibel.

Great welcome from Doug and Robyn. Excellent food, great service. Good wine and beer selection.

Great food and staff, go here!

we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather and music from surrounding venues. the service was great explaining the wines and offering us samples. and the food was absolutely delicious! we ordered rack of lamb and redfish and both were perfectly done with fantastic vegetables and sides. outstanding !

We just love the Sunshine Cafe'Went for New Year's Eve... outstanding food the seFood was so fresh everyone enjoyed themselves. The Key Lime was a great way to end our meal. Our server was excellent she took all of our orders and wrote nothing down and she delivered everything with no mistakes there were 8 of us 😊

Can’t say enough GREAT things about the Chef, Jose and Doug! Such great and caring people! The food was the best food I’ve ever had! They went above and beyond to make mine and my family’s experience unforgettable! I will definitely eat here every time I go back to Captiva! Excellent!!!

This was a beautiful meal with wonderful service! Highly recommend!

Visited on June 9, 2018, the first night it was at new location. The food was excellent and the small, but well decorated dining room was a great place for a meal. The wait staff was excellent and friendly. I highly recommend it.

We eat at Sunshine Cafe every time we eat our in Captiva. Some weeks 7 days a week. Have been eating there for years. Best seafood and steaks on the island. Never had a meal that wasn't perfect. Also salads are delicious like the goat cheese salad with chicken, scallops, shrimp or salmon added. Also the best paella in the world. That's also how they advertise it on their menus. Indoor or outdoor dining. Great wine list. Highly recommend Sunshine Cafe.

Best food on all of Captiva. Don’t let the negative reviews fool you. This restaurant is the real deal. Without question they have the best most flavorful food on the island. Miss it, your loss. I personally love the food, service and price. Exceptional. Please give otva try you won’t be disappointed. Richard Worthen
