Lunches run from $10-15 with Grouper at $12.95 and the mouthwatering Chilean Sea Bass at $14.95. These prices include a fresh attractive salad bar. Evening prices are $5 more than lunch. The restaurant is adjacent to the Sarasota Airport; fresh fish is flown in daily. I eat here once or twice a week; the food is consistently good and I... More

This used to be a great place to eat. On this trip, I should have been concerned when we arrived at 5pm and only 5 other cars in the lot.

We have eaten here several times over the past few years. It is not a fancy or toney place. The food is excellent and a great bargain. More

As with so many places, it is better to go early for lunch if you want to avoid the rush and get a table upon arrival.... More

We stopped at this spot due to the number of vehicles parked around it on Monday mid day. The place is not much for atmosphere, and a bit down at the heels. Seafood is good and the burger was good as well. Salad bar is small, but adequate. Large aquarium in the middle of eating area. More

I would recommend is great,fresh,very tasting.i have a fantastic experience More

I went to "Captain Brian Restaurant & Market" last year & this year, again, but not for the "Decor". The restaurant is "dated" (about 30 years ago!!!), but for the fresh seafood one could buy @ their Market. Last year the Seafood chowder was excellent: big chanks of lobster, fish, shrimps! This year, small pieces & was not good anymore!... More

Excellent selection of fresh seafood flown in for the market mean the restaurant is also very good. More
