    One of the best happy hours spot I ever been! Must try their tostadas if you love shrimp! lovely place and services. Strongly recommended. The food was well prepared and fresh! Will definitely go back and try more dishes!

    Brunch Menu
    Will K.

    I went with my partner and a group of friends to Sea Capitan for brunch. The weather was perfect, so the patio was poppin', but we opted to sit inside. This is the former Blu Hwy space and focuses on Mexican Coastal/Seafood from the Earls Premier & Bacaro Primo team. Overall, it wasn't too crowded, but we made reservations just in case. We started off with cocktails and I opted for the Carajillo (iykyk, it's the new Espresso Martini.) Others got a Frozen Paloma and a Margarita. I wanted the Carajillo to have more a stronger coffee punch, but it was still tasty. We started with the Guacamole (I recommend getting it with a mix of Chicharones and Totopos.) We also tried the Chile Con Queso (which was fab and we needed more chips to finish it, which they were kind to offer proactively.) For my main, I got the Fish Tacos ("Tacos La Paz" - Crispy Battered Cod with Salsa Blanca.) What's neat is that they come partially deconstructed, so you can add as much lime, cilantro, cabbage, salsa and radish as you'd like. I found the tacos substantial, 3 was perfect as I was fairly hungry. I tried my partner's tacos as well and they were tasty ("Tacos Yucateco Asados" with a Salsa Cruda.) He said he wishes the salsa was spicier though. Overall, a great experience. I'd go back for brunch (I was also eyeing the Pozole) or to try their dinner menu (I'm eying the duck.) It's a little spendy, so it's not an everyday meal. However, if you're with friends and want a good time, you'll have it here.

    Ceviche of the Day

    The food and drink were delicious, however, the portions were on the smaller side, albeit expensive.

    The packed bar
    Bob S.

    Having dined at Bacaro Primo, we were excited to hear the owners were opening a Mexican restaurant just south of the Plaza. Last night was our first visit to Sea Capitan, and we loved the décor, the food, and the service. We're already planning our return. What stands out about the menu is that it's elevated Mexican with a seafood focus--but not exclusively seafood. Think bold flavors, quality ingredients, and thoughtful plating. We arrived at 6:15 pm to find the bar area buzzing. One note: the noise from the bar does spill into the dining room and can make conversation a bit of a challenge. A glass partition could easily solve that. For a spot that's been open barely two weeks, everything still has that "just out of the box" freshness--menus, silverware, glassware--crisp and clean. Drinks: The Margarita Capitan is a must. Perfect balance of tart lime, smooth tequila, and just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for another sip. Starters: * Queso Fundido - molten cheesy goodness, bubbling hot when it arrived. Once it cooled slightly, it had that perfect stretchy texture without losing creaminess. * Totopos and Salsa - thin, crisp tortilla chips with a light dusting of sea salt. The four salsas were excellent, though a description would've helped. For heat lovers: the red and the dark green bring serious fire. Entrées: * Charcoal-Grilled Shrimp - These weren't shrimp; they were massive, meaty prawns, brushed with chile-garlic butter. Messy in the best way, and the warm wet towel was a thoughtful touch. * Prime Skirt Steak - My wife's choice. Super tender, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. * Chimichanga - Stuffed with potato-sausage filling and topped with chile con queso. Rich, hearty, and perfectly fried. * Three Tacos - Chicken, pork, and vegan. All flavorful, but the tortillas were too small--one bite and they fell apart. Side to Applaud: The Esquite Asado deserves its own ovation. Charred, sweet corn kernels with just enough smoky flavor to make you think of summer nights. Dessert: The burnt cheesecake is a winner. Imagine the slightly bitter caramelized edge of a toasted marshmallow against creamy cheesecake. The lime curd brought a bright, tangy finish that kept it from being overly sweet. Service: Madi, our server, was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu well. Bottom line: Sea Capitan is a welcome, upscale twist on Mexican dining in KC. Go now, before everyone else discovers it.

    I got to eat here for a birthday dinner. We had the best service. I almost cried when she brought me out a gf df dessert! Our table of four ordered lots of dishes... and more than one round of chips and guacamole. I had ceviche and the pozole soup. Both were delicious. The restaurant was comfortable and decorated in a very classy but not stuffy way. It's brought to you by the same owners as Bacaro Primo and Earl's Premier. Top notch food and service.

    Cod rollup "tacos" but it was impossible to roll the ingredients up in small tortillas.
    Susan M.

    The music was insanely loud, our server was great and patient, and he "translated' menu items for us gringos. I don't recommend the chili con queso appetizer because it didn't taste like any I've had before and was kind of pink, thick and mushy, and served with very few chips. I have the cod tacos which were quite good, but ask right away for more of the Crema sauce and more lime!! My friend had a red shrimp dish of some sort that was spicier than expected, and not a favorite, no matter how good it sounded on the menu . We split a small lime margarita-inspired "tortlet" for dessert...tart and tasty!

    Camarones Al Carbon
    Christina P.

    We celebrated our anniversary at Sea Capitan as it has been new on our list of must try restaurants. We absolutely love their sister restaurants Bacaro Primo and Earl's Premier. Sea Capitan did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in (past a lively patio), you will be warmly greeted into a pleasantly decorated space with a gorgeous bar and friendly staff. Elizabeth took excellent care of us, fully explaining the options on the new menu and treating us kindly for our anniversary. We ordered the Camarones Al Carbon (the most gigantic prawns I've ever seen), Camote (roasted sweet potatoes with mole and agave), and a taco combination of La Paz (battered cod) and Aguacate (vegetarian). Everything was delicious, with a wonderful coastal vibe, although a tiny bit under-seasoned for my palate. I am very much looking forward to returning to try other menu items.

    From start to finish this place delivered! I went in with a group of friend for my husband's birthday. I think that we tried almost everything on the menu that evening. We grabbed some cocktails and also a mezcal flight which all sounded interesting and delicious. I went with their version of a spicy margarita and was not disappointed. To start, we had the pozole, carne asada tacos the guacamole and the queso. Woooooow YUM. For entrees we got the prawns (which were as big our hands) the chicken and the duck. Our server was attentive and always on top of everything that we needed. It was a very memorable evening and we left with full bellies in need of a bed

    taco plate (all except the avocado one)
    Chelsea W.

    Such a great new spot!! Sat at the bar but didn't ruin the experience- had a great bartender who gave good recommendations and was attentive without being overbearing. The queso fundido was delicious, my friends had the tacos and raved about all of them, and I had the ceviche which was flavorful, fresh, and so yummy. There was an actually a quiet moment during dinner because we were all too invested in eating to yap - which is saying something. Will definitely be back!!

    Fundido with chorizo
    Susan C.

    Was excited to come here since I love their other restaurants. Unfortunately, I won't be back. Very pricey for what you get. Ordered the fundido cheese dip with chorizo. Was okay but very little chorizo and had no spice at all. Ordered steak carne asada and lamb and beef barbacoa tacos. Very small. Lamb and beef tacos at least had some type of marinade. Steak tacos were bland and only tasted of an unpleasant charred taste. Margaritas were small and expensive. $100 for 2 of us for lunch and we were still hungry. Our waitress was very friendly but that was the highlight. So disappointed. They need a lunch priced menu. Three very small tacos were $24. Cool looking restaurant and great patio. Hope they make adjustments.

    Chimichanga ... for the win!
    Mac M.

    Because brunch is -- literally -- the most important meal of the day, I just tried out the new Sea Capitán eatery on the Plaza. The restaurateurs behind Earl's Premier have unveiled this decidedly Spanish-meets-seafood-fusion bistro. Be advised, the brunch menu itself is small-ish, but there are plenty of other tasty options. The bartender Amy recommended both the chilaquiles and the chimichanga. Both were hearty and flavorful. And color me a huge fan of the street corn, too. Open just two weeks, the staff is still finding their footing, but the food -- while pricey-ish -- is sch-amazing and I can't wait to go back and try 'em out for dinner.

    From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the entire waitstaff--every employee took the time to say hello, creating such a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, from the chips and salsa all the way to the fried ice cream. While the portions were a bit on the smaller side, the quality and flavor definitely made it worthwhile. A must try!

Sadly, the food quality has really declined, the portions have gotten smaller, and the overall experience just isn't what it used to be. My last visit was the final straw when a very intoxicated man at the bar repeatedly insisted on buying me a drink. I told the bartender I was uncomfortable and did not want him to buy me one, but the bartender went against my wishes. The man then wouldn't leave me alone and berated me, making comments about how "white women like me" are the reason the country is the way it is. He was also extremely racist and disrespectful toward the bartender. A server recognized the situation and offered to get a manager, which I appreciated. They then asked me, loudly and in front of this angry and intoxicated man, if I wanted him kicked out. This put me in a situation that felt unsafe. Putting a customer in that position was incredibly unprofessional, especially when I had already made it clear that I felt uncomfortable. The bartender even said, "It's OK, he's here all the time." The fact that the response was essentially that his behavior was okay because he was a regular made the situation even more disappointing. After years of genuinely loving this place, I'm disappointed to say that between the decline in food quality and how this situation was handled, I won't be returning.

He clearly wanted attention which we found annoying and distracting. The drinks were good and the vibe was generally good. A nice eclectic mix of people. The DJ was great too! The service staff seemed very rough in both their interactions and their appearance. I hadn't been here in years, but I remember it being a far more refined and polished experience than what he had last night. Lastly, I don't think our $50 deposit was applied to our check. I forgot about it until this morning and didn't bring the receipt home. We each only had one drink and my total charge was $52. Not the end of the world but just another point in how they don't appear to be as on top of their service as I've previously experienced.

This is a PG-rated review, so I shall leave the mechanics to your imagination. Then came the piece de résistance: the 12-ounce ribeye, flanked by asparagus spears and Delmonico potatoes. This sucker was thick. When I asked our waitress for a proper steak knife, she politely pointed to my standard-issue butter knife and confidently declared, "That's it!" I thought she was joking. She wasn't. Melt-in-your-mouth is an understatement; this medium-rare masterpiece yielded to a butter knife like it was soft brie. The sides were equally stellar. The Delmonico potatoes were a beautifully elevated, elite version of scalloped potatoes, and the asparagus was snappy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The evening's only tragic misstep was the cheesecake. It, too, was incredibly thick--but in all the wrong ways. While fortunately not overbaked, the texture resembled a very well-flavored, highly gourmet paste. To add insult to injury, the graham cracker crust had completely surrendered its structural integrity, offering none of the classic crunch I crave. Minor dessert tragedy aside, it was a phenomenal evening. The service was impeccable, the vibe was unmatched, and that steak alone warrants a return visit. Next time, I'll just be exploring a different corner of the dessert menu.
