We went here on Tuesday night July 3 2012. The primary reason we picked the Captains Table is because it was next door to our hotel. Let me start off by saying that in my opinion I am a pretty forgiving reviewer, but the Captain's Table belongs on Restaurant Impossible or some other reality show. OK, so the decor is old and needs updated. Big deal. The place was nearly empty, so what.
We ordered the Seafood Platter which had 3 scallops, 3 grilled shrimp, 1 crab cake, three little neck clams and a piece of broiled flounder. Our sides were baked potato and Cole slaw. The scallops were fair, but rather tasteless. The crab cake was OK. The little neck clams were dry. The grilled shrimp were good. The broiled flounder was disgusting. It (flounder) was a pile of mush with no flavor with the texture of jello. The Cole slaw and baked potato were good enough. So, in total, the dinner was just marginal, if you forget about the flounder. Oh, I almost forgot, while we were there we heard them say that they were now out of both corn and baked potato's.
Now the service, if you can call it service. Our waitress only checked on us once as she was walking by so there goes our chance to show her the flounder mess on our plate. Next after waiting and watching our waitress bus a table, take an order from a new table, we were able to get her to bring us our check.
Almost out of here, right. Wrong. Now we get to watch her bring food to the other table, go bus another table and go into the kitchen. Finally we had to yell for her to please come and take our payment. She did seem to do a better job for the other table which seemed to be locals.
We did confront the waitress about the lack of service, which she said we weren't happy when we walked in. What? We also complained to the hostess/manager and her comment was only "Really".
I hate to totally complain about a restaurant, but I sorry, the Captain's Table really needs to shut their doors. read more
