Captain Dave's On the Gulf

"Overall from adult entrees to children's menu everyone of the group of 18 was very happy. Numerous positive comments from Outstanding, excellent, fantastic and it was wonderful. I had the Cajun Reddish with Shrimp which was excellent, my wife enjoyed the Stuffed Shrimp Parmesan, both dinners included baked potato and house salad. Other main courses were Coconut Shrips and Seafood gumbo, Clam Chowder and the House salad with Grilled Mahi Mahi, Fried Shrimp dinner with fried Oakra, House salad. Sone of the kids meaks were Shrimp and fries, Cheese burger and fries, and Chicken strips with fries. Service was excellent and handled by three waiters with Cherry overall."

"Bacon wrapped scallops, Blackened grouper, and redfish were seriously on point. Very delicious. Cole slaw fresh and delicious. Fried oysters not very good. Too small, heavily breaded. Not offering oysters in other ways,( raw, steamed, smoked), probably not a main fare here. Everything else was very good, and ambiance was really cool. Overall good dining experience. Would definitely recommend and or come again."

"We had two meals here, and the only thing that I didn't care for was the bacon-wrapped scallops. I found the mustard-based sauce to be so overpowering that I almost couldn't taste the scallops and could barely taste the bacon. The scallops themselves were broiled to perfection. This dish could be better if the sauce were served on the side or perhaps cut with a bit of cream, as it has a nice flavor, but too much mustard and not enough maple, IMO. I also had the large coconut shrimp and orange sauce appetizer, which was both delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband had the calamari, and he said it was both tender and crisp. It was served with a generous portion of marinara. For the main, we had the Snapper Jane, which was absolutely heavenly, the parmesan shrimp, which was also excellent, and the blackened snapper. All were perfectly cooked. For sides, we had cole slaw, which my husband loved (but which I found just a tad bland), baked potato, and fries. Everything was perfectly prepared. I was stuffed to the gills, but my husband couldn't resist the combination of two of his favorite desserts: cheesecake and strawberry shortcake. He said it was very good. I tried a bite, but since cheesecake has never been a favorite of mine, it didn't impress me. I had the white Riesling, which was pretty good (take that with a grain of salt, as I am no connoisseur) and my husband had a bottle of the Beach Blonde beer, but he didn't care for its sharp aftertaste and swtiched over to his usual Yuengling afterward. Our servers both nights were very good, but Alex was a standout waiter who was both extremely competent and attentive without hovering, and he was also very personable. The restaurant was clean, pleasant, and comfortable, with a mix of customers. Beautiful views of the Gulf if you are lucky enough to snag one of the tables near the south side of the restaurant, and you can also watch the sun setting while you wait for a table if you're here at the right time of the evening/year. The lighting was adequate yet low enough to maintain a cozy and comfortable ambiance. The decor and vibe are casual (the hostess was dressed in shorts and a cropped top, most of the other staff in tees and shorts), but the food is upscale in quality, and the portions are generously-sized. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality seafood, and we'll definitely go back."

"Food was excellent, wait time wasn't bad at all, they have a bar area and outdoor deck area with great view of the gulf while you wait and have a drink. There is a parking lot across the street from the restaurant lot of space and convenient don't have to walk far. Nice set up inside service was great our waitress was outstanding and personable, they are busy so just be patient and relax! We had surf and turf steak tender and the shrimp was lightly batter was so good. Others had the stuff shrimp parmesan really good, a little bit rich taste but NO left overs!! Worth a visit while your in town on vacation or a local!!"
