What our guests are saying
I'm visiting Sarasota area from Ohio, and wanted some good seafood. Glad I chose Captain Brian's. I had the seafood platter~ it was all delicious! The shrimp were absolutely incredible! The crab cake too. Prices are typical for seafood. Place was busy, but service was good. Pleasant waitress. If you're in the area, try it!

We actually came to hear the singer Francesco, who was highly recommended by several people. He was very good. Some of the songs he sang sounded just like the original. After we arrived the place filled right up. It’s a traditional seafood place with a special menu featuring wonderful selections at very good prices. Service was prompt and efficient. Compared to other seafood places in town this one is very much affordable.

A Hidden Gem for Seafood Lovers! Captain Brian’s is hands-down one of the best spots for fresh seafood around. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm charm that sets the perfect tone for what’s to come. Seafood chowder—absolutely amazing. I find myself craving often. I highly recommend Captain Brian’s to anyone who loves seafood done right. It’s a restaurant that never disappoints!
