    With beautiful views of the bay, our table was next to two very large groups. In spite of taking care of these tables, our server attended to our needs pleasantly and quickly. Additionally, the food was amazing!! Even the vegetables on the side were excellently prepared--usually I just consider those as eye-pleasing "garnish." We had Florida lobster tails that were delicious and served in butter warmers. The scalloped potatoes were amazing. We were so delighted with our meal and will put The Green Flash at the top of our list on future visits to Captiva!

    We went to JWB Grill to celebrate my birthday. I am so glad we decided to go there. The location is absolutely spectacular. We had a nice table with an excellent view of the beach. The drinks were top-notch super tasty. But nothing compared to the food. I got the fillet with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. The fillet was cooked perfectly and although it came with no sauce, it did not need any sauce. The mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. It was firm but tender. My husband got the ancho pork chop and he loved every item on his plate. As I mentioned, it was my birthday and they provided an amazing super Rich chocolatey brownie cake magical goodness. Definitely contemplating making this a birthday tradition. Our server Angela was attentive friendly offered great suggestions. I can’t wait to turn another year Older so we can go back to JWB Grill.
