Harbourside Restaurant is a little pricey, but they offer a great selection of fresh, tasty seafood and a beautiful view of the marina. We decided to have dinner here our first night at South Seas Island Resort because the restaurant was footsteps away from our hotel room and the fish of the day was blackened grouper...yum! Since we were visiting in the off season we didn't need a reservation, but I suggest making one if you are visiting in the summer. The weather was perfect so we decided to eat outside on the porch. We did have a slight problem with the mosquitos despite the tiki torches. (Luckily, I keep mosquito repellant wipes in my purse.) Once we were covered in bug repellant we were able to enjoy our dinner. Had we not brought the bug repellant I would have had to move to an inside table. The wine menu included a few reasonably priced bottles of wine so we started off our meal with a great bottle of cabernet that was just under $40. I couldn't resist the assorted bread basket brought to our table. The homemade honey butter served with the bread was heavenly! I started off my meal with the house salad half portion and the salad was HUGE! Even though it was delicious I had to stop eating it so I would have room for my dinner. My scallops were perfectly seared. The white bean and sausage looked a little weird with the peas, but it was delicous and I had to dip more bread into the sinful sauce on my plate. My husband's blackened grouper on a plate of wilted asparagus salad was the best grouper I have ever had. The meal was light, yet full of flavor! We skipped dessert so we could walk over to Scoops and Slices after our meal. I would definitely come back to this restaurant during our next visit to Captiva Island!

Had a great experience at Harbourside! Food: Expect $25-$30 per entree. With that said...I think I had grouper, my wife had triple tail. They were both cooked perfectly! They were cooked all the way through but not over done. The seasoning was delicious! Mine was served with mashed potatoes and vegetables, all also delicious. My wife had mashed cauliflower it was also very good. I give them an A+ on food, especially after the bubble room the night before. Service: We had a party of 11 with three small children and they sat us immediately. As long as you get there before the sunset, you will not have to wait. The sun sets on the other side of the island and everyone watches it before coming to eat. Our waitress did a great job with all 11 of us. Atmosphere: We sat out on the porch in late December and it was delightful! No complaints here.

Me and my family went here after our wedding and I must say, everything was to die for. we had three appetizers which were, the crab cake, oysters, claims, and fried squid. All three were delicious and the sauce that came with the fried squid was delicious. The salads were great, I had both the Caesar and the Tomato one. If you wanna stick to what you're comfortable with, go with the Caesar. For my entree I had the grouper which was prepared amazingly! I got to eat a fish eye for the first time and fish tongue. I highly recommend this place.

Genuinely "meh." The food is OK, the service is ragged and it's pretty darn pricey. What more is there to say? Doc Ford's at the South Village seems better run and somewhat less costly, while the food may be a bit better than OK. Both are fine with young children in hand.

Awful experience. We had gone here last year and looked forward to going back. We tried to make a reservation for a party of 8, but were denied a reservation due to not having enough people. Although we did not have enough people for a reservation, we did have enough people to be charged a service fee, for service that was lacking the quality such a service fee would deserve. The food quality was the one decently bright spot. It would have been even better if we were able to get our food in a reasonable amount of time, or what we ordered. We maybe saw our server 3 times in the first 2 hours. The whole time I felt like a second class patron. We went there ready to have a good meal, a good time, and spend money. There was no effort to make up for the awful experience they caused us, that we payed top dollar for and made clear was not up to par. I left Harbourside with a sour taste in my mouth, feeling ripped off. We have been coming to Captiva Island for many years, and plan to come many more. Harbourside will no longer be in our plans when visiting Captiva due to this sad excuse for a fine dining experience.

I was going to give it 3 stars but I realize that it is actually a very good Resteraunt and I tend to like more eclectic settings. It's everything you would expect from a high end place, excellent food,very polite and good service and the prices you would expect for such.I was very impresses with the breakfast buffet (even though I typically do not like buffets) this one is excellent. Outside seating offers a beautiful view of the marina and people watching.It deserves 4 stars.

Had an expensive and average meal last night around 9pm. I agree, don't go late. Food was over cooked and staff was in a hurry for us to leave. Our waiter tried to b patient and helpful to our kids. He offered substitutions....which helped. My $18 cheeseburger was overcooked and dry and my fries came to the table cold. My husband and daughter's Black Grouper (special of the night) was overcooked also. We did not complain because it was late and we felt pressured to hurry because of the staff setting up for breakfast(which was loud and distracting). Comfortable decor and the waiter was nice, but too expensive for mediocre food. Maybe better if seated earlier in the evening.?.?

My family and I dined here while staying at the South Seas Resort. My husband and I both had the redfish with tri-colored potatoes and veges. While the fish was good, it was pretty darn small and we got about 5 bites of potato and maybe 4 bites of vegetables. Our kids had pasta and a hamburger. The kids' meals came with two slices of apple and a spoonful of yogurt. No vegetables were available with the pasta and fries came with the burger. Kind of wish they caught up to speed where vegetables are offered with kids' meals and then if parents are wanting french fries for the kids, they can ask for those. The view was very nice, service a bit slow, unsure if we would return.

Was staying at the South Seas Resort for a wedding (on 11/3) and decided while my wife was with the wedding party I would go have a quiet breakfast alone. I went inside and asked the host for a table for one, he said no problem I'll call you in about ten minutes. I looked over to the right of the restaurant and asked why it would take so long with only a half full restaurant his response "we don't have enough servers to fill the restaurant". I didn't even bother to wait to overpay for breakfast. I figured a restaurant that can only handle half the capacity on a Sunday morning isn't worth overpaying for. Very disappointed!

Good service and great food! Even the Bread and crackers were good! Very tasty Seafood selections. Nice harbor side view. Great wine also! The only negative was my son did have to move because of ants crawling on the wall and on him.

Standard pricing for captiva. Tasty food. Scenic location. Friendly staff. Tasteful decorations unlike that rip off down the street. I would eat here again. On the fence about the key lime pie though. It was good but at $8....

South Seas Resort dropped its Plantation moniker after an '06 hurricane wiped the developer smile off its face, along with most of Captiva's barrier vegetation.But both Nature and new commerce is grand, so South Seas Resort is back for the world to enjoy. Rooms are tastefully redone, crisp and clean. Trolleys and bikes are plentiful, but more attention could be paid to actual bike paths which are sorely lacking. We found the Harbourside resto to be quietly elegant, overlooking the yacht harbor. Veyr moist fish and divine fruit cocktails. Inside, the atmosphere is tooled for rowdy families. This is a no cash resort, and one has to be a guest to visit the amenities. Summer offers deeply discounted visits. A gorgeous beach lined with re-nourished dunes and seagrass is waiting for you, any time of year.

Arrived to find a 4" cockroach crawling down the wall about to land on the hostesses arm. Ran at her and the assistant manager was able to catch it. Dinner followed (yes, stayed) and it was fairly good. Got the bill and no discount, nothing. Not even a free dessert. Wow. I even brought it up to the poor hostess who would no longer go behind the stand and she told management. Watch out and keep your hands and feet off the floor and walls.

We ate here while staying at South Seas. It seemed empty, but was a very good meal. They catered to our kids, ages 3 and 5, by bringing out "appetizers" (apples and yogurt dip), pretzel dinner rolls, and bendy straws. We both had fish dinners - again, very good with good service. It was pretty expensive, but we expected that.

Our food was delicious!!!!!! It was the best meal we've had on the resort. We were lucky to get a comp'd meal so we were not stressed about the prices. Crab cake was delicious, the onion and tomato salad was even better than I hoped for and the filet steak was melt in your mouth. The bread they brought to the table was tasty too. The only part of the meal that wasn't outstanding was the warm apple crisp. A pie from the freezer section of your grocery store would have been better. If you can handle the prices, which I imagine you can if you are staying at the resort and already stomaching 10.00 for a hotdog, go here and get food that will actually taste yummy! Great service too!

Food was very good: excellent conch chowder and twin lobster tails, outstanding crab cake and excellent rack of lamb. Our server Garnet was outstanding. He's a pro. We've eaten a number of times at this restaurant over the years, and this time was a great improvement.

Shockingly bad for the price: really bad food (details below), unbelievable waits, outrageous cost (plan on $60 per adult easily). We went three times (captive on Captiva). We are not difficult guests in general, but our experiences here involved the manager all three visits (though on the third he couldn't be located). The long waits for food are self-explanatory (though in particular on the third visit the wait was baffling, considering that the restaurant was 2/3 empty). Then, the food, to summarize: Portions: tiny. I should have taken a photo of the $40 (no joke) grouper. You'd cry. Mussels: undercooked. Yes, they opened, but barely, and were cold, which brings me to: Cold food. On the third attempt at eating we sent back several plates and gave up. REALLY COLD. The famous $18 burger: no flavor, overcooked (medium???) served with mealy fries...ALL COLD. Caesar salad: oddly, half was dressed (overly), and half not. It's lettuce on a plate for $12. Dress it! Fried calamari: soggy, unsalted, greasy, and essentially large clumps of underfried batter clinging to tentacles. There were drops of grease on the table from serving it with a spoon. Not a good sign. The steaks: overcooked, tough, and unseasoned. For $38????????? This place really needs to get its act together. I can't believe that more people aren't horrified by the price/quality ratio. Just appalling by any standard. What a shame that this has had a significant impact on our impression of the resort as a whole, though it is clear that the problem lies not only (or likely not even mostly) within the restaurant. There is an institutional policy of low-quality high-cost across the board, and for some reason they seem to get away with it. Wake up, people, there are beaches elsewhere!

My husband and I stayed at the South Seas a couple weeks ago for our babymoon weekend. We live in Fort Lauderdale and didn't want to go too far just in case. We fell in love with this resort and the main staple restaurant Harbourside Restaurant. Though nothing in the resort is really open late late night, this is the place to be for a drink. They had live music outside on the docks and really the only bar in the area after dusk. We also had the breakfast buffet one morning, which was kind of pricey at about $20 each, but it was well worth it. There was quite a large selection of options and it was constantly being filled by more fresh food. There was a juice bar, cold cereal, parfaits, a chef to make you an omelet of your choice and plenty of eggs, bacon, french toast & sausage. Yum! Since we had such a great breakfast we figured we would try the restaurant for dinner and again were not disappointed. For an appetizer we had the crab cake, which I have to say was one of the best I've ever had. Honestly, it was all mine. I considered ordering another. Delicious! My husband had a scallop entree and I had the seafood fettucini. Both of which were excellent! Once again the dinner was a little pricey as it came in around $100 with tip and that's only with one person drinking. May have come down a little if we would have split a bottle of wine. Next time! Our server was attentive, but not down your throat. A perfect evening! Will definitely return to the South Seas and this restaurant. A+!
