Captain Dave's On the Gulf

We were looking for a quick place to grab dinner so the kids could get back to the house we were staying at and swim in the pool since it was our last night before we had to go home.

The hostess was great, she noticed our girls (5&7) looking at the fish and got us a table with a fish tank right next to it so the girls could look at the fish. When we were leaving we stopped to look at the fish tank at the front again and she was telling us the names she had given some of the fish in the front fish tank by the hostess stand. Lily was a very pretty fish! She looked like she was glowing.

We ordered as soon as the server came by to ask about drinks and the food came quickly. The girls enjoyed their shrimp and my husband and I split the seafood sampler. Both of us loved the crab. The okra was good and I ate all the broccoli. I liked the shrimp and scallops as well.

Overall the food was great, there was no wait. The staff was super nice and we enjoyed it. I would come back again if we are visiting in the area.

The pros: Atmosphere is great with a full view of the gulf from the dining room. Service is great and so were the drinks. Excellent salad and dressing as well.

Cons: Food is just average, and the Parmesan Mahi has a lot of onions mixed in the cheese topping, which was not mentioned on the menu, and I hate onions. The fried fish was dry. The fries are low quality and get soggy quickly.

I did not have a reservation but the wait time was not too bad for a drop-in. I did not order a drink or appetizer, which often paint you as cheap, yet service was good.
I had the Cajun Redfish and it was prepared well and tasted delicious. The side orders were great.
The atmosphere and view is part of the price, my only complaint is for the price the sides could have been larger and the overall meal should have left stuffed.

Have eaten here before. Always visit when we're at the beach
