Review & FAQ:
Captain Dave's On the Gulf is a long-standing go-to for the freshest local seafood, breathtaking views, and warm and welcoming inviting atmosphere.
Established in 1968, the airy oceanside restaurant has been serving classically fried, grilled and broiled seafood against a backdrop of breathtaking ocean view ever since. Beautifully decorated in warm wood tones with floor-to-ceiling windows and a vast Molla-Molla hanging from the ceiling, the restaurant focuses on serving the freshest seafood in town, with a classic Florida-style menu featuring Gulf favorites like Grouper Parmesan, Cajun Redfish, and Broiled Lobster Tail.
The cuisine can be paired with an excellent selection of casual wines, craft, and draft beers, and classic cocktails made with top-shelf spirits.
