    I want to love this place, I really do. Food is terrific the place has been cleaned up and really looks nice. The owner is engaged and hands on. I will come back for a third visit, and if things are better I will change my score. The problem is the service. The problem with the service is the wait staff attitude. And that problem starts with management. I caught a glimpse of that attitude when the owner was on the mic. That exact same attitude was reflected in all the male staff (there are several females working, that I did not that same vibe from). A very blatant “This is the way it is and if you don’t like it, that’s too bad”. The waiter was single-task-focused, he would take an order from a table go execute that order then come back and get an order from somebody else and then go get that taken care of. He would not tend to more than one thing at a time and my wife literally had to stand up and block him to get our drinks refreshed. The dirty dishes stayed on our table for over a half an hour after we finished eating. Multiple empty tables with dirty plates and glasses were throughout the dining area while the waiter sat at the back empty dining area on his phone. Even when he was up and going, most of those tables stayed dirty. The bartenders both basically said what they felt like without any regard to conventional service boundaries. The entire time, the owner is present and part of the situation. It’s very obvious the staff is very secure in their position and how they handle things and that the owner condones this. That being said, The staff does work together. They are basically pleasant and want to do a good job. They simply lack the proper guidance in setting good service standards. Much has been said about the food, good things, because the food is really really good. Also, the owner is putting out some money for some superior entertainment. This restaurant has the potential to really dominate Marinatown and become the go-to place of the area. I will try them out again in a while.

    Band was good however way too loud for a small space. We could not even talk to each other. We were in town for a celebration of life and decided to have dinner there. I had the special, cajun yellow tail snapper that came with mashed potatoes and peppers. The fish was tasteless if not for the sauce. The mashed potatoes were cold and very chunky. Others had the Flatbread, fish and chips and blackened chicken sandwiche. Portions were big, mine was not worth the 24.oo, I was told it was 22. When the bill came it was 24. The chicken sandwich was good. Flatbread was good.

    Let me start of by saying the atmosphere is perfect for the location! Have to say I went here on a recommendation of my mother-in-law!! Have to say they delivered! Had the privilege of meeting Brian a bar manager, not only did he take great care of me he took the time to listen to me and my rambling! I can't say how much that meant to me during times like this! For this reason ALONE I will be back with my wife and family to experience the full experience and menu of this place! He made me feel like family and that he cared, found here in Florida they only do that for a tip , but not here! He did it for the reason of being genuine! Great staff, menu looked amazing, looking forward to being part of a family and a regular! Will definitely be back!

    Fabulous place to eat and watch a great band. This may bring too many people to this bar and not give me a seat when I get there but it's well worth it to get their word on to let everybody know how fabulous this place really is.

    The reviews on this restaurant were excellent. My friends told me that they ate there and it was terrible. I said they must have new management because they have excellent reviews now. I convinced them to give it another try. I ordered the shrimp scampi. If I closed my eyes and was asked what I was eating, my answer would have been liquid salt. It didn’t taste remotely like shrimp scampi. My girlfriend ordered the fried shrimp. She said it was super salty. The men ordered the hamburgers. They said the burgers were okay. I was so disappointed. It has a beautiful setting on the water; too bad the food is awful. My friends were correct. I will never go back.

    Boat docked infront of bar and grill. Many people came over to the boat and introduced themselves, very friendly people. Some live on their boats there, some dock for the day and there is a boat taxi that runs on a schedule which is posted infront of restaurant to bring them there just for dinner, lunch or drinks. Very nice place

    We waited nearly 15 minutes for a waitress to approach our table and take our drink order. 20 minutes later I waved to the waitress and asked for menus. 20 minutes later I waved for the waitress to bring our check for our drinks;. We wanted to eat but the service was deplorable. My suggestion is to bring your own food and drinks. That way you can enjoy the restaurant without the terrible service.

    I loved this place and was a loyal customer with my friends until recently. The food portions have become smaller while the prices have substantially increased. The drink prices have increased as well. My group of friends and I are greatly disappointed. Bands are just ok and extremely loud. It has really changed in the past year. Was paying $25 now $50. It's too bad because the restaurant is on the water and has nice views, but when there is such a decline in food, drinks, service, and atmosphere, the views aren't important anymore. The new owner was great and was working really hard in the beginning, but she said she doesn't care anymore and it shows. Maybe things will turn around?

    6 small shrimp for $16.00 really!!! I own 4 restaurants in Fort Myers and I get reviews stating that my menu is expensive. At least you walk out full with my dishes. I price my dishes at a normal mark up with large portions. I here more comments that the portions are to big to finish. Good atmosphere and friendly staff but order pizza it’s the only value on the menu…

    This was my first visit and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Not too busy at the time around 7pm on a Saturday. This is one of a few restaurants along a marina strip which you can also access from a nice walkway beside the boat docks. I had the shrimp tacos which came with a choice of chips and salsa or fries. I had the fries. Both were very good. Had a nice cold tap beer. There's a great bar and tv's throughout playing numerous college football games, so if you're a fan this is the place. They advertise NFL Ticket, so Sunday NFL fans are in luck also. There is live entertainment and the two guys playing that night were excellent! A little loud if you're sitting inside, but as we were outside it was perfect. Plenty of free parking. I'm sure for the locals this place is an obvious choice for good food and drinks, but for me since I rarely venture across the river from Ft Myers, this was a hidden gem. Will definitely be back.

    On canal front...we were sat inside and music way way loud and we could hardly talk with our group of hard to hear friends....french fries on everyone's plates were cold n limp...for 5 plates of fries you would think they would come out hot enough to burn your tongue! Fried fish made from frozen not hand created which is sad for a seafood restaurant..ironically, their cheeseburgers looked really good...staff very pleasant.

    Beautiful views for a place for after work drink and snack, service was a little slow the day I was here and the drinks are made very weak. We tried multiple appetizers, and they were all delicious

  • 3/5 Angie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice staff. Food was decent. I would probably recommend that they defeat their wasp issue. They are everywhere! Inside and out. Might also suggest that they add more meals like wraps or cold cut sandwiches. Wasn't in the mood to go and eat hot food with it being so hot out. Enjoyed the live music, they played all kinds of songs.

  • 5/5 Greg S. 3 years ago on Google
    Mi wife and I have stopped in several times. Food is always tastey and prices always reasonable. Staff are super though at times it seems they could use a few more people. Be sure to get there early on nights when bands are playing or you may not get a table. Love this place and will continue to be a patron.

  • 5/5 Mary P. 3 years ago on Google
    Restaurant was clean. Waitress was very accommodating. Ordered Fish tacos blackened (delish) and Fish & chips. Everything was fresh. Relaxed atmosphere. On the water. Definitely will be back.

    My goodness the GROUPER!!! Delicious perfection!! Our service was impeccable. Our sever & kitchen staff went above & beyond to ensure the safety of both my son & my mom because of their food allergies. The atmosphere was also awesome. We enjoyed the band & can’t wait to return.

  • 1/5 Tinker B. 2 years ago on Google
    I was soooooo disappointed. It took 30 minutes for our drinks and a hour for our food. No apologies were forthcoming for the timing inconvenience. Don’t come here unless you live on a boat, want take out or have 2 hours to spare for mediocre food

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for Thanksgiving dinner and had a great time. Can't wait to come back and try the full menu! Awesome location on the water

  • 5/5 Tammy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Got a burger with pepper jack! Very good, the bun was fresh and the burger was cooked perfectly! Beer was cold! Our waitress, Ginger was very friendly and efficient. Great view and the sun felt good as we dined outdoors!

  • 5/5 Jason S. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't say enough about Sea-craft. It's our favorite place in the Fort Myers / Cape Coral area. We've eaten there so many times, at least once a week. I highly recommend whatever the dinner special of the day is, as Cody knows his way around the kitchen. And if you are looking for a good time, sit up at the bar and listen to live music at the tiki bar and some of the best bar around will sling you some fabulous drinks! Whenever we have guests come visit, we end up here and they always say the same thing, we should have started here! I have so many photos, but I will stick to food & drinks here. There is also a new water taxi that stops 9 times throughout the day right at Sea-craft and will take you across the river to Ft Myers river district.

  • 5/5 John W (. 7 months ago on Google
    A great place to stop for a few beers and cocktails with friends. The owner, Stephanie and the bartenders, Anthony and Brian, were super friendly and fun to interact with. Try the whisky and pickle juice shot. Live music and plenty of seating and parking. The tiki section and the wrap around bar are a nice place to relax and have fun. We'll be back for sure.

  • 5/5 Erin 1 year ago on Google
    Best hidden gem! Service is outstanding, the bartenders and servers are friendly and attentive. The food is fantastic, and the drinks are delightful. The owners are creative, kind and hard working. The remodel and fun tiki touches make you feel like you’re on a permanent beach vacation! This restaurant has the best vibe ever! 🌴☀️🍹⚓️🏖️🪩

  • 2/5 Kenny 1 year ago on Google
    The nachos were Ok. You are looking at a $12.00 house salad. What a waste. Large bowl of iceberg from a bag, a few cheese sprinkles, and 4 grape tomatoes halved. I'm guessing a few onions and possibly several cucumber slices wouldn't hurt the food costs terribly. Our waitress, who has served us at another place, was awesome.

  • 4/5 Theresa J. 10 months ago on Google
    It's a comfortable place. We like to sit at the outside bar. I've been there probably 10 times. I don't live too far away so it's nice that there's a close place you can pop into for a couple drinks. Drinks are good, food is good. Atmosphere is nice, and they are redoing the decks so that will be nice. It's a comfortable bar. Nothing outstanding 😊

  • 2/5 Deborah A. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was good. My husband ordered a beet salad . It was made of 3 slices of beets, an orange section on each beet, small amount of feta and dizzed with balsamic. Need less to say, we had to stop on the way home to get more food. He was still hungry. Oh, the sad part about it$12.99 later.

  • 3/5 Jill H. 3 years ago on Google
    First time visit. Food good, beer cold. What I don’t understand is why a business wants to alienate customers by displaying trump signs. The election is over. Even if it wasn’t over, a business should strive to remain non-political for the sake of the business. I just don’t get it, but I know I won’t be back. I shouldn’t have to be smacked in the face with a business’s political statements. Plaster that type of stuff all over your house if you want, but for a restaurant I expect a pleasant experience with no politics or drama.

  • 4/5 Noneofyour E. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food on their limited menu (Try the mahi mahi fish tacos blackened - yum!), big bar with a wide selection, nice atmosphere right on the water, huge horseshoe-shaped bar, outside tables and inside ones with the south wall open to the outside/water view. I'd give them a better rating but the bartender was bragging about how they pack 300 people in there on the weekends to hear live bands, there is no social distancing promoted, which are totally irresponsible during covid, and their menu is small and somewhat pricey.

  • 5/5 Jonna S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Cheri S. 3 years ago on Google
    Addendum: After sharing our complaints with the manager, he graciously apologized and bought our round of drinks. Much appreciated! Under staffed, horrible service! Had to go to the bar to get our own drinks! Waiter came over and asked if we wanted menus, we said yes and we never saw him or anyone again. Needless to say, we did not eat there. Would not recommend!!

    My husband and I had a very nice meal last night on the patio, with great views of beautiful boats and live entertainment. I had the Tuna which was awesome, and my husband had Delmonico Steak which was perfectly seasoned. The owner was always visible and very professional. The service was prompt & friendly, our server Khloe couldn't have been more accommodating. Kudo's to all for making outdoor dining awesome!!! Of course a special thank you to Chef Nick...glad we found you again... Definately a return visit.

    Family and I really enjoy coming here. Food, drinks and owner / staff are most always top notch and friendly however our waiter with short hair and beard gave us attitude when we asked how our food was coming. It won't stop us from coming here but found it disappointing with that experience.
