    We ate here twice for lunch. We had the yummy fried oysters, a shrimp & chicken quesadilla and I had the yellowfin tuna with lemon pasta. WOW! It was fantastic! Service was very good. Their lunch restaurant isn't very large, but seemed to work. 2nd visit wasn't as good as the first, but still very good. My hubby had the potato shrimp soup (he loved, I didn't). The fried calamari was again great! My hubby had the Mac 'n' Cheese (fresh rigatoni, shrimp, lobster, scallops & cream sauce). It shouldn't been called Mac n Cheese. It put a specific thought in mind and it wasn't even close. It was good. I had the shrimp & grits (cheese, tomatoes, bacon, chorizo, shrimp & grits). Very good! Not as good as what I had in Charleston, but still very good. Both times the service was very good. They were friendly and really kept up on my husband's ice tea needs! We come down most every year and this will definitely be added to our list!!

    I'd heard a lot about Captain Charlie's over the years, finally made it here for dinner. It's a good casual spot. If I was local, I'd probably stop in from time to time, especially to dine at the bar. The chow is very good and fits the fair menu pricing. I like the smaller portion option they offer on dishes where they can, and especially like their wine list, which is better than you'd expect at a place like this. The selections indicate someone knows their wines, glassware too. My small order of Grilled Scallops was very good, very fresh. Others enjoyed Bouillabaisse and a small order of Paella (was actually quite large). The Fruit Cobbler was maybe the best of all, and their homemade ice cream also fantastic. Our server, Carson, was excellent... personable and aimed to please. RECOMMENDED

    The Creme Brûlée Traditional I ate it

    I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews, but I had to for the crème brûlée here because it seriously stood out. From the moment it came to the table, you could tell it was done right. The presentation was clean and simple, but the real highlight was that perfectly caramelized sugar layer on top. It had that ideal golden color--not burnt, not too light--and when you tapped it with your spoon, it gave that super satisfying crack. Once you break through the top, the custard underneath is incredibly smooth and creamy. It has that rich vanilla flavor without being overwhelming or overly sweet, which I think is what makes it so good. A lot of places mess that up and make it way too sugary, but this one was really balanced. It felt light enough to finish easily, even after a full meal, but still indulgent enough to feel like a treat. Another thing I noticed was the texture--it was consistent all the way through, no lumps or weird separation, which shows they really know what they're doing in the kitchen. It also tasted fresh, not like something that had been sitting around. You could tell care went into making it. The portion size was solid too--not tiny like some places where you get two bites and it's gone, but not so big that it feels excessive. It was just right for sharing or keeping all to yourself. Overall, this is easily one of the better crème brûlées I've had. If you're coming here and skipping dessert, you're honestly missing out. I'd come back just for this alone, and I'll definitely be ordering it again next time.

    Dining room I saw as we were leaving

    This was our first visit to captain Charlues reef grille. We called ahead to find out they don't take reservations for small parties but that the wait was minimal. We got there 15 min later and it was now 45 minutes. We waited outside (it was very cool outside). We were told we could go to the bar a few doors down but wasn't anxious to drink and wasn't sure how crowded it must be on there. Should have looked. Everyone seemed to have a a wine glass in their hand as their name was called. We were finally seated in a booth on the side where the counter was. Not super comfortable , height of table isn't well situated for height of seat. Had no clue how nice it was on the dining room side . Had we sat on that side I bet this review would have been better just based on that. Had no idea till we got up to leave and took a peek. Our waitress was lovely and was very attentive. We ordered a bowl of soup , since it was so noisy in there they brought out the wrong one but it was quickly changed out to the NE clam chowder. The chowder was creamy and hot but there were almost no clams in it, that was disappointing. For entrees my husband ordered the mussels and I got the warm salad. His mussels were overflowing and came with several wedges of toasted bread. My warm salad was disappointing. I had hoped for more squid and other seafood , the only thing that was a decent amount were shrimp, maybe 6/7 medium sized. I knew I was getting a warm sautéed salad but the base was not really enjoyable. I basically went digging for the seafood which there wasn't much. All in all it was a disappointment . I doubt we will come back but if we did I would want to be seated in the dining room and I would order something more typical. Unfortunate because we had read so many good reviews. .

    Roasted oysters
    Carrie S.

    This review is for Captain Charlie's 3 Doors Up Lunch location. This is definitely a locals place where the staff call customers by name. It's a little intimidating as a newbie. So many people have recommended it but finally decided to try it. It was extremely crowded on a weekday lunch. We were able to be seated immediately at the counter. There aren't a lot of tables and the counter gives you an up close view of the cooking action. The menu is extensive. Then add on the daily specials. Everything is cooked to order but it's fun watching as you wait. We tried the conch fritters. While they weren't terrible, I wasn't getting much conch. I think the pieces were chopped up super small. Too much filling. I prefer slightly larger pieces of conch with less filler. The remoulade sauce was delicious. I wouldn't order these again. I had the roasted oysters. It came with 6 large oysters. Absolutely delicious. A butter and cheese crust. The oysters were fresh and flavorful. I took a bite of the clams and linguine. At least a dozen little necks for the lunch portion. It was a basil wine sauce with chorizo. Highly recommend. The menu is amazing and I look forward to returning.

    Tuna Tartar a la Plancha

    Nestled in a tiny strip mall, if you blink you'll miss it. My in-laws have been coming here for years and it's one of their favorite spots. So many options for delicious fresh fish.. it's always busy because the food is amazing. But it's definitely worth the wait. Our server was wonderful.. All but one of us enjoyed our food. My youngest daughter is gluten-free and she got the gluten-free buttery noodles. There was hardly any butter on them and no seasoning but even after we got more butter and she put a little salt and pepper on it, they were still very bland. Everything else was exceptional though. We will definitely be back .

I didn't know what to expect but I was really impressed from the service to the quality of the tea and food. The cafe is in a little strip mall off A1A. Parking is okay considering there are other businesses next door. I loved seeing the cardboard cut out of Queen Elizabeth in the window. As someone that loves the Royal family and all things London, this place was a dream. They had lots of pictures of Princess Diana, Princess Kate, etc. It really makes you feel royal yourself! My advice: MAKE A RESERVATION if you plan on coming. They recommend it as well. It can get busy however when I went there was only one or two others who came which was nice we got to experience the cafe without it being crowded. I had the kindest, most accommodating server! I wish I remembered her name. It was such a treat having her wait on us today. So polite called me 'ma'am' and was so respectful and helpful. I ordered the club sandwich, champagne, and the lemon nectarine cake. So delicious! When I ordered my food I made her aware of my nut allergy as some things have nuts. She was super kind and when she brought my food out she even mentioned that it had no nuts. I really appreciate that! I ordered the 'Magic Butterfly' tea. (Decaf) I'm not kidding when I say this is THE BEST TEA I have ever had in my life. It was a mix of apple, pea flower, lavender, and a few other things. They have two options when ordering tea. A full pot at $7 or a half of pot at $5. We went with the half of pot which is for two people. It was enough for us both. If you come with any more than two people than get the full pot for only two dollars more. I thought the prices were good. They also have high tea options such as The Diana, The Kate, The Elizabeth, and The Charlotte (which is for kids 10 and under) these are priced per person at a bit of a higher cost but you get multiple things included in each one. I will list the menus down below. We were checked in on a lot and made sure we were content. The service was phenomenal I can't stress that enough! They also have little gifts to purchase around the store. I had the best time today. It was such a treat! Next time I come to Florida I'll definitely be visiting again. Thank you ladies!

Or you can order from the regular menu. Kati herself is your order taker and server. This is probably my fifth time at Katis. I ordered the lunch Thai garlic chicken, comes with a delicious salad with ginger dressing. For $4 more you can order a sushi roll from the lunch menu. I ordered the California roll. The fresh salad came first. Then the California roll. It was the best California roll, I've had in a long time. Perfectly rolled and balanced. Cold and delicious. My garlic chicken was very good, full of vegetables and with rice on the side. My only suggestion is that the sauce needs to be a little thicker with more garlic. I appreciate and liked the presentation, it came in a small bowl instead of on the plate with the rice. Highly recommend you give Kati a try.

I'm surprised it wasn't more packed! Our server Mona was super sweet and very attentive. She even packed up our leftovers. They have so many options for food-- almost any type of Asian food, you can find here! They have everything from Sushi, Ramen/Pho, boba, and Pad Thai. We tried the fried duck Kao soi and steamed tofu drunken noodles. Both were phenomenal! The fried duck Kao soi was one of their specials so we are so glad we got to try it. They were both so flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to Thai/Asian restaurants in this area!
