We had just landed in Sarasota and needed to eat. Captain Brian's was suggested by Google, and I'm so glad we went! I had the... seafood combo platter with a crabcake and blackened grouper, shrimp and scallops. It was all fantastic. The sautéed spinach andcrispy potato wedges were great. Somehow I managed to fit in a little bit of key lime pie, too. Yum! We were inside onlybriefly, snagging a table outside. Our interactions with four staff members were positive. Dorothy was our primary server, andshe was excellent. It was lovely to see how the staff worked as a team. My partner has a sensitivity to fish, which the kitchenaccommodated by grilling his chicken away from fish. He devoured his sandwich and his salad, declaring it all delicious. We bothremarked on how fresh everything was. Read more

Extremely good seafood. Some of the best Calamari ever. Prices are comparable to portion sizes. Tried the combo platter, all was... good but small portions. The staff was very friendly. Dining area was clean. There is a market area on one side, seafood pricewe competitive. Not the place to impress guests, but a good restaurant for a family, friends meal. Read more

This place was recommended to us by our hotel manager. It wasn't far from us but we still needed to drive. He said the... exterior looked a little like a dive but the food was very good. I enjoyed my seafood chowder and my husband had a poboy. Weenjoyed our dinner and had excellent service. Read more

Had a great experience from start to finish the staff are very attentive and informative of all the menu so feel free to ask... questions. I had the monkfish breadcrumb battered and sauteed in the garlic butter lemon with capers it was perfect. For sides Ihad a side salad and coleslaw very good. The menu has it all for seafood but they were out of stone crab I really wanted someand they also have huge live Maine lobster available or clams oysters swordfish etc... They also have a fish market with greatofferings like smoked fish and dips to take home. GREAT PLACE! 2nd visit three pound lobster fresh from Maine absolutelyamazing! Read more

We had a great dinner today at Captain Brain's. Restaurant just outside the SRQ airport with fresh seafood market in the... restaurant. They have stone crab (when in season), Grouper, snapper, lobsters, etc etc. The food was great and the prices weresurprisingly low. My daughter got 2 big pieces of fish and potatoe wedges (thier French fries) for $4.95. The Grouper, and friedoysters were great with a nice light breading. The Blackened Chicken was some of the best I've had. Recommend thier Blackenedseasoning. Definitely an older demographic as far as customers but we had a great experience. Read more

Fresh fish! Salmon cooked correctly! Great prices. Great selection. Very old crowd. Went there for fried flounder but online... menu did not match actual menu. Left happy anyway. Read more

I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I was totally blown away by the food. Everything tasted amazing. The servers are very kind... and attentive. The decor is a bit old school, but who cares when your face is buried in the heavenly meal before you. My wifeand I really enjoyed our dinner here. This just may be our regular spot as we visit Sarasota almost monthly. Read more
