Rc Otters Island Eats

Had the lobster bisque, needed some sherry and a bit more seasoning.  Yeah a bit of salt brings out the flavors shame it wasn't made that way.
Conch fritters: well like most places the conch were overcooked, just a blanch and then roll them into that great seasoning!  Don't cook them and then roll em and cook em again, they are like rubber!!
The service is clearly "family" and while they may work internally, externally your customers want to be served not wait for you to figure out whose waiting on that table.....that said once engaged they roll with a passion.
Next was crab cakes Caesar salad, grouper Oscar and rice.   Crab cakes were unfortunately just shredded crap and overcooked breading,  Could have been really nice but it wasn't.  Ceasar salad was probably the highlight: mostly because it was fresh, seasoned just right and had a nice flavor/finish.   The grouper oscar was well: a bit of a mess, first the asparagus tasted like canned or frozen cooked til they were limp: kind of like eating baby food, the fish was cooked near perfect and was a nice filet of grouper, the oscar sauce was well....disappointing.
Top it all off with a location that has no water view, feels like a tourist trap, and probably makes a killing off the hungry (there are few places that far north on Captiva to choose from) and maybe they don't have to do better people are just dieing to get in....
Gave it 2 stars because of the beer selection, really great selections on tap, great job to the bar manager.  Otherwise you'd be a one!

I won't ever go back

Best of luck, I think there are too many other choices, with a view!

Get the crunchy grouper!!!  Nice place w plenty of atmosphere!  Other dishes were ok, typical of resort town. Prices were also higher than should be but rule of supply and demand in play here.

Crunchy grouper was very tasty and worth every penny!!!

RC Otters is one of my favorite brunch spots on Sanibel.  They make a delicious bloody mary that is loaded with shrimp, olives, and celery.  I've been here 5 or 6 times now and have yet to have a bad experience.  I always look forward to ordering the crab cake benedict.
