"My wife and I have been frequenting Capt’n Curt’s for around 10 years, visiting at least two or three times each winter. We enjoy the restaurant's indoor dining, the shirt shack, and the NE clam chowder kits (of which we have purchased many). During our recent visit on January 5th, we noticed some differences in the dishes we ordered compared to previous seasons. My wife had clam strips, a green salad, and a crab cake, while I had calamari and an oyster basket. The clam strips were decent but not exceptional, and the crab cake seemed thinner than in previous years. The salad was more of a combination of chopped veggies rather than a traditional green salad. The calamari was also prepared differently than usual and was deep-fried instead of pan-fried, affecting the flavor. The fried oysters were the highlight of the meal, although we were disappointed that the "staple" version was no longer available. Despite these minor disappointments, we plan to return to Capt’n Curt’s before we depart for the north. The ambiance is inviting, and the service is consistently great. However, we believe there could be more attention to detail in the menu offerings. Our bill for lunch for two, without alcohol, came to $93 before tip, but we felt satisfied with the amount of food we received. Although we did not order the NE clam chowder on this visit, we plan to stock up on the kits before leaving. We also intend to purchase some of Capt’n Curt’s shirts, which have been of high quality in the past. In conclusion, we recommend more oversight on the taste and portion sizes of dishes served, without compromising on quality. Customers prioritize delicious food over cost, and we hope that the restaurant maintains their standards, especially with the clam chowder."

Sarasota, known for its cultural vibe and stunning beaches, often delights with fresh seafood like grouper or crab cakes, paired with key lime pie for a taste of Florida's coastal cuisine.
