We stopped in for lunch yesterday and were pleasantly surprised with what we found. The restaurant lives up to its name. Their menu offers a great selection of seafood that can be steamed or fried. We started off with Baked Oysters. Not what I was expecting, but they were really good. Think Oyster Scampi. They were served with crackers, but I would have preferred French bread. We then had steamed scallops and steamed shrimp, which were seasoned and prepared perfectly. For sides, we had sliced new potatoes with Parmesan cheese(awesome), steamed broccoli, and cheese grits. All were really good. When you visit Simply Seafood, you really must save room for their desserts. We had freshly-made, home made Carrot Cake. It was excellent. When I go back, I want to try the Pecan Pie Bread Pudding. For all that we ate, our bill was less than $50. We were really happy with the experience, the food, and the friendly service. This restaurant is right off I-10 at the Gulf Breeze/Milton exit. Very convenient if you are traveling through the area. We live in Gulf Breeze and will definitely be dropping in again.
7. Captain D's
Reviewed By bonniek653
We live in an area with ample restaurants serving fish. My favorite fish is Catfish and we usually go to the local favorite catfish restaurant. Sometimes we just want to do something a little different. Since we have not been to Captain D's in awhile we decided to try it. My husband, son and I all ordered the shrimp. Of course, it was not as tasty as the shrimp you get from restaurants on the beach, but it was good for the price. We all got a side salad which was also good. We all agreed that the meal was a nice change and we enjoyed the lower price when we got the check.I don't usually order dessert at restaurants, but I decided to try the Coconut cake. I was fooled by a photograph on an ad on the table. I wouldn't recommend it. I didn't see or taste anything like coconut and the cake was dry. I have tried their fish sandwich and would recommend that.

The atmosphere was casual but not overly outstanding. However, we did have a great view of the local lake with multiple alligators swimming around in their natural habitat. The service was good, the food was average, the price was fair. I was a little disappointed that a restaurant named Gators did not have alligator on the menu though. The seafood was average quality. It's a good local restaurant and off the beaten path. If you are in the area its a great place to try but don't expect the Taj Mahal.

This restaurant has moved to several locations over its business life. Some websites are giving the wrong map, but TripAdvisor is correct. Look for Chantilly Place strip mall. It is at the corner of Hwy. 90 and Chantilly. South of the Avalon intersection. They have chicken, seafood, catfish, steaks. They do serve beer. A couple of us had pan-seared scallops. Each scallop was about quarter size. Very good and served with a container of melted butter and a lemon wedge. Side choices include vegetable of the day, fried green tomatoes, cole slaw, smoked Gouda grits (very good). Seafood dishes also came with a basket of hushpuppies. A couple of others got the triggerfish, which were nice thick fillets. They do have raw oyster specials on Friday nights. Someone in our party saw that on the restaurant's Facebook page. The 6 of us ate a dozen each. They were small, tasty oysters. To save some money, the various po'boys have almost an identical portion of seafood as the platter. They don't have scallop po'boys, but do have shrimp and fish (fish type varies on what is freshest - this night was triggerfish).Service was good. She had a good sense of timing. Very casual.

For our little town this is a great place. When you crave some fresh shrimp or seafood this place will deliver. I get steamed shrimp there occasionally and they are yummy! The folks are friendly, the place is clean and nice and they usually have the selection of seafood I'm looking for.

We were visiting family & they brought us here for dinner. We had fried crab claws & corn fritters for appetizers which were very tasty. I asked our server what she recommended between Crab Burger in Paradise or Blackened Redfish topped with Seafood Cream Sauce. She said the Blackened Redfish & it was absolutely delicious. My son ordered the Crab Cake Dinner which was very yummy. My aunt ordered the Crab Burger in Paradise & she said it was so good. Everything we had was delicious & great portions. I would highly recommend this place to family & friends you will not be disappointed.

This place is unbelievably good. It is worth a drive if you are anywhere nearby. Unfortunately we live 8 hours away, but will definitely go back the next time we are within 2 hours of this place. The catfish was the best I've ever had. Cooked to PERFECTION. Hushpuppies were awesome as well. Everyone in the place is as friendly as can be - including the other diners (who were all joyfully munching down on their own catfish lunches!)thank you for the wonderful review Kimmy Kay. hope y'all can visit again real soon.

Great dining experience and we will return whenever in Milton. Alissa was our server and was a little forgetful with our beverages, but was attentive. My husband had the Alligator fried basket with fries ($15) he said were very good. It was loaded with alligator bites that he couldn't eat all and took the remainder home in a box. I had 1 dozen "Herbsaint" spinach and crab baked oysters which were gluten-free and just like Oysters Rockefeller ($16). The unsweetened ice tea was refreshing. Our total bill with tax $33.17 at lunch time. The decor was a real surprise with several Itzchak Tarkay prints hanging on the walls. Plenty of parking and a full bar service.
