Great place for a "normal" meal by the beach. Burgers and more. They seem to have re-done their pricing, realizing many more will stay for lunch and dinner if they do not have to spend a year';s worth of salary to do so.

We ate at Harbourside last night the food was very good a Mahi Mahi and a tuna were devoured alongside a filet mignonette all of which were excellent with a table by the hour outside Service a little slow but this did not detract from a really good family meal with our son

The food was amazing, the seafood tasted fresh and love that they have their own herb garden, use local produce and their daily special is made with sustainable seafood. We had a beautiful view of the marina and there was live music outside. We started off with the best artisan cheese plate I've ever had, it included Manchego, goat cheese,... More

Went to South Seas for my 50th birthday. The entire trip was wonderful, but made even better with some of THE BEST seafood dinners we've had. The Red Snapper with melon salsa is incredible! So good, it got it twice while we were there and my husband did as well. The recommended catch of the day Cobia served with a... More

Good mussels, scallops and fish, children's food decent. Specials of the Day (fish) good. Plenty of shaded outdoor seating overlooking the harbour area, so children can get up to check manatees if bored. Relaxed vibe. Cocktails and wine choice fine. Service was of an uneven pace - our mains appeared before our starters were finished, after a long wait to... More

The food is good, particularly for Captiva. But it's pricey and the service is very, very spotty. You'll get a great bartender one night, and be ignored by the bar staff the next. You'll get your appetizers right away and then wait half an hour for your entree. I had an excellent steak, and my wife's pasta dish was poor.... More

Food was just okay. Service was pretty poor. They ended up giving desserts to the tables around us because their food took so long to come.

Harbourside is in my opinion the most high end restaurant on Captiva. The food is very good and prepared well. I have eaten here on a few occasions and the food is always good and fresh. The presentation is very nice and the service is attentive. The only problem is that you must be a guest at South Seas Plantation... More

This restaurant was pricey and the food was not good. The sign outside the restaurant advertised Mahi, but we were disappointed that it was only available on the kids menu. I would not recommend the blackened red snapper, I couldn’t eat it. It was very fishy smelling, mostly dark fish, and the cut up melon underneath was old and slimy.... More
