We were looking for a seafood place on our first night in Carrabelle Beach. The Red Pirate was…read morehighly recommended by several we asked and they he menu looked good so we drove over. It was quite crowded so there was a 30 minute wait. We didn't mind because there was a lot to explore and plenty of seating outside. There was a mini golf course, a gift shop and two more dining rooms. Both of those had a bar, dimmer lighting and live music plus one had outdoor seating. We didn't know they had other dining rooms so I told the hostess First Available. We ended up in the family dining room. Not complaining; just informing you that you do have a choice. You can get drinks in there but it doesn't have the atmosphere of the two bars. We were seated and ordered a Coke and a Coke Zero. I tasted mine and it had this awful muddy flavor that lingered. I looked at Jenn and she had the same look on her face. I don't know what was wrong with those drinks but they were so so bad. We told the server and she swapped both for ice tea. Sadly the tea had the same dirty disgusting taste. I don't know what's in the water there but it almost made me retch. We didn't order anything else to drink. We both ordered appetizers next- I got coconut shrimp and Jenn got the Buffalo Skins, basically loaded tater skins. Both were delicious!!! The appetizers were generous portions and quite filling. Jenn didn't want an entree after that but I ordered one - the southern fried chicken sandwich with a loaded baked potato. I should've followed Jenn's lead and skipped the entree. By the time it arrived (which wasn't an unreasonable wait) I was full, quite thirsty and ready to go. The sandwich looked very good, as did the tater but I couldn't eat it. I asked for a box and took it all back to our AirBnB. I did nibble to taste the fried chicken and it was quite good. I'm a fried chicken snob and quite picky. It was hot, not too much breading, well seasoned and the fillet was juicy. The only down side was the sauce on it. It was awful! I used a napkin to try to wipe it off. The server did ask me if I wanted it and I said yes (it was listed on the menu with the sandwich). I should've asked for it on the side. If you order the chicken sandwich you might consider asking for the special sauce on the side. I'm sure many people like it but for me it ruined the sandwich. I did bring the sandwich and baked tater back and will eat it later if I can. The baked potato looked very good, not too small and very well loaded. I didn't taste it though so I can't tell you much about it. They brought the sour cream separately too. Smart! Now I can reheat the tater. I didn't try any of the seafood except the coconut shrimp. I have to say it was excellent-large shrimps and a generous portion. I didn't need the entree at all. The place seems very popular and I will suggest giving it a try. I didn't notice anyone else complaining about the drinks so I don't know how to explain our experience with the Cokes and the tea. Neither of us could drink even one drink of them. I read reviews after we left and one even mentioned the delicious water. Maybe tuck a bottle of Aquafina in your bag or pocket, just in case.

My wife and I thought it was some of the best Italian food we'd had recently and far and away the best meal we had all week. I got the pollo Marsala which was 10/10, wife had fettuccini capesante which she loved. I'm not big on pasta but I tried a few bites and would have cleaned the plate myself. The spaghetti was a HUGE hit with the kids. We had the calamari and bruschetta for apps which were both excellent. I think everyone ate past being full. If it wasn't our last night, I would've came back again. Nice clean, quiet place to eat. Lastly, I feel terrible I forgot our server's name, I believe it was Anna. The service was probably better than the food. We did not mention it was my wife's birthday, but it felt like they knew. She and the other lady helping her (made the spaghetti in the Parmesan wheel) were so kind and friendly. I wish I could be a regular here.

OThe views are pretty, but the ambience is boring. It can still be casual without feeling zero effort. The bar area appeared to have some personality put into it. Now to the food -- underwhelming is the name of the game here. Okra seemed frozen from a bag and deep fried. Collard greens seemed straight from a can. Daily vegetables seemed like they were made the day before and didn't sell out. The grouper sandwiches were okay, but meat portions were small for the price point with one side. The gumbo was flavorful but wasn't even local shrimp, it was those imported mini shrimp. For $15 a bowl of gumbo I would expect they could use local ingredients. Just disappointing overall and we would never venture back. I think the location and building have a lot of potential, but the execution in the kitchen and beyond is majorly lacking much imagination. Service was okay. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone visiting.

We went on Sunday evening, party of 3. There was some confusion with our reservation but we were…read morestill seated at a table that wasn't reserved until 7pm. Our server came, we ordered our drinks. He brought them but didn't lay cocktail napkins on our table with them. After that we ordered appetizers, asked our server what his favorites were. The stuffed shrimp was named, so I ordered those. My friend ordered a 1/2 dozen of the baked oysters. The appetizers came out but were luke warm at best. The baked oysters were way over cooked & then I'm sure sat under the heat lamp which dried them out even more. I'm a southern Alabama girl who knows her seafood and loves good soul food & know how it should be cooked. So far I wasn't impressed. This menu hits all the check marks but over does the easy stuff. My friend ordered gumbo. It was more 'Cajun' red looking than a darker rue & it was served cool to luke warm at best. The flavor wasn't good at all. I ended up ordering the duck. The greens with it were great but the duck itself came out fried not roasted which threw me off. If you're going to imitate Louisiana cooking, please at least follow their ways of cooking. My other friend ordered redfish & shrimp and that was the best tasting dish out of all. Overall, the meal wasn't good for the quality and pricing. The overcooked baked oysters were $30 for a 1/2 dozen so don't waste your time. The gumbo was $15 a bowl & it was the size of a salad bowl at best. Also, pro tip. Don't leave money sitting on the table. They were about to not seat us because they had a 7pm reservation at the table we ate at. We were there at 5pm.
