CAPTIVA ISLAND, FL, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- South Seas, located on Captiva Island along Florida’s Gulf Coast, announces the opening of two culinary outlets for Club Captiva guests - Redfish Grill and the beloved Scoops & Slices ice cream and pizza parlor.

A family favorite, Scoops & Slices, sharing pizza, ice cream, and sweet treats, re-opens in a new location and better than ever for resort guests to enjoy.

“The debut of these culinary offerings is a big step forward for South Seas,” says South Seas General Manager, Shawn Farrell. “These types of dining experiences for our guests and members of Club Captiva are just a few of what is to come and the reason we are excited for the new generation of South Seas.”

Redfish Grill
Overlooking Redfish Pass near Bayview Pool Complex, Redfish Grill boasts the best sunrise vistas on Captiva Island. Serving all day meals, Redfish Grill is a beautiful, multi-level, light-filled restaurant thanks to windows cascading the entire two-story walls. The striking views of turquoise tides in the elegantly coastal restaurant combined with artful light fixtures hanging dramatically from the ceiling welcome guests for a memorable culinary experience. With breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound, the wraparound porch serves comfortable al fresco meals, inviting patrons to linger longer.

Serving seashore favorites like grilled mahi tacos, seared grouper sandwiches, steamed mussels and more, the must-try menu items include Steamed Clams and Mussels and Smothered Prime Ribeye. The Roasted Beet Salad provides a healthy and flavorful dish for sunny poolside days, while the savory and sweet Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sandwich is also an excellent selection. Taking Key Lime Pie to another level because it's made where it all began – the resort location was once a key lime plantation, bringing a rich history and authentic flavor to every bite, Redfish Grill makes handmade raspberry coulis, Chantilly creme and tops with fresh berries, elevating the iconic dessert to a mouth-watering memory. Meanwhile, the Salted Caramel Molten Chocolate Sundae is a crowd favorite.

With a menu of upscale beverages, cocktails and mocktails, Redfish Grill offers a variety of champagne, various wine varietals along with a large selection of bottled and draft beer and seltzers. A favorite is the Watermelon Smash made with Astral Blanco Tequila, Watermelon Syrup, Elderflower and Lime Soda, while the highly recommended Wake Up Call is Redfish Grill’s take on an espresso martini.
