Booths and tables but can have large parties as well. I know someone that had a wedding rehearsal there, just need to call ahead. The restaurant is pretty large and has indoor/outdoor seating that could be made private for a party.

He's the main character in books written by Randy Wayne White, who is part owner of the restaurant, I believe. My wife and i have enjoyed reading the books, which are set in Sanibel and refer to real places there.
