Captain Jack's

One of our favorite places to have a good meal. It was my Birthday celebration.We hadn't been there since we'd moved away.The food was fantastic, a bit pricer than it was 10+ years ago. (But then everything is pricy these days). Service was great. Décor was perfect. We look forward to eating there in the future.

Went to Captain Jack's last night for our co-workers birthday dinner. We had several ladies attending to our drinks and they were really on target, never having to ask for refills. We brought several bottles of wine (corkage free Thursdays) so that made for an additional plus. Our main waiter Anthony was so funny and had a fabulous personality. Told some great stories of his experiences. Really made us feel special and was attentive to all of our requests. We weren't in any hurry and asked if he could space out the courses which he did. I hate getting the main course delivered when I'm only half way done with my salad and didn't have to worry about that with Anthony in charge. Timing of all food was perfect.I had the crab, my wife had the prime rib and both were cooked to perfection as we have become to expect from Captain Jack's. Our other friends had various dishes including lamb, halibut and chicken teriyaki. All enjoyed their entrees and agreed this was an absolutely fantastic dinner. Once again we all agreed that Anthony was a wonderful waiter, the food was fab and this really was a night to remember. Thank you Captain Jack's!!!

What better way to celebrate a newly married couple than with towering King Crab legs and expertly crafted cocktails? Captain Jack's delivers on both, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion, or just a Wednesday night when you're feeling fancy but still want to wear flip-flops.We kicked things off with two artichokes for the table, but let's be real... I wanted one for myself and had no intention of sharing. Zero regrets. The portions here are generous, so while the prices lean toward the celebration tier, you absolutely get your money's worth.The crab? Pre-cracked. No need to battle with your meal--just dip, savor, and enjoy. One friend, who doesn't do seafood, opted for the prime rib. Her verdict? "Tender but lacking flavor." My repeated advice? Get the end cut. Did she listen? Of course not, she never does. Will I keep trying? Absolutely.Would I go back? Without hesitation. And next time, I'm making sure she gets the end cut.

If half stars were available I would give this place 4.5 stars!This place probably has the best King Crab Legs in all of OC. My wife and I got the Shrimp Cocktail for an appetizer. The shrimp was nice and juicy but the cocktail sauce was amazing. Like the best cocktail sauce I've ever had. So good my wife said she would buy a bottle if they were selling it. There's the perfect blend of tangy and sweetness to it. As for the entrees. We got the house bread and salad early on (it was good). Here's why I couldn't give it 5 stars. After getting our app, we waited almost an hour until we got our entrees. I was fighting the urge to keep picking at the bread lol. For our entrees my wife got the seafood platter and I got the NY strip with crab legs. The steak was quite good but the crab legs were the best. The shell was already pre cracked. Chunks of crab meat were so flavorful we didn't even need the butter but I love butter. The rice it came with was a bit funky. It was like soy sauce was mixed in. I'm guessing it was Worcestershire sauce. I think something like Rice Pilaf would have worked better. My wife and I both said we plan to come back. But just getting a full plate of crab legs and the shrimp cocktail. Service was very good.

First time to Captain Jack's and it did not disappoint. The prime rib is the best I've had. The king crab was delicious as well. It seems like they have a team of servers that do certain things while they wait on you. One server bring you there menu and talk to you about it. Then another server brings out bread and drinks. Then another server comes and takes your order, which was the one who we saw the most. The place had a 70's decor maybe be 80's.

Street parking and complimentary Valet parking available.Reservations recommended but not required.Ok for small groups.Nice bar area.I only order Lobster so can't speak on the others items but they all look greatPrices are fare.Staff is wonderful.

Amazing service and food, my mom and I come here twice a year for each other's birthdays and are never disappointed. One of my favorite restaurants in existence!!

Went here for a work dinner the service was good it was cold that day and we were seated outside but they had a heater they were kind enough to adjust for us. The service was pretty good although they forgot some of our order for an appetizer but we just ended up telling them to take it off the order. The food is pretty good the prime rib is super soft and the potato that I ordered with it was huge. The kind crab was okay. I like their Shirley temple a lot it was huge and I drank it all surprisingly. The carrot cake was super sweet but was good to take home and eat with some milk.

After returning here at least 5 times a year each time with a large group of ladies, and alway being greeted by the Manager Ronnie, and his "sour puss" keeping us waiting at least 15-20 minutes for our table with a reservation. Tonight the food was not that terrific, my party is always between10-14, and we were all very disappointed.All of us run up huge bills, we tip well, and order from the bar even on their no corkage night Thursday. But tonight we had a misunderstanding with our waiter Anthony. He charged someone who ordered a dinner of Chilean Sea Bass an addional $8 for a baked potato. When Anthony asked if she preferred rice or a baked potato, we all heard him, and he never mentioned there would be an $8 additional charge, until it was seen on the bill, along with the $3 charge for a Cajun sauce she thought came with the meal.When we called Anthony over and she told him this was definitely amisunderstanding, he apologized and said there is nothing I can do. We asked him to check with the Manager and see if he would remove the $8 charge, since we come in all the time, and this lady had been coming for the last 40 years with her family even. Anthony came back and said he asked the Manager, Ronnie about removing the charge and he said NO. We were all shocked!I stood up to find Ronnie, who has seen me there many times, since we've been regulars for the last 3 years. I found Ronnie, standing and watching TV in the bar. When I approached him, to explain the $8 charge and the misunderstanding. He rudely said, "I remember something like this happened the last time your party was here." I said, that is not true I don't know what you are talking about? I went on to discuss what happened, but he wouldn't hear of it, and said it's on the menu and he adamantly refused to remove the $8 charge. Unfortunately when Anthony offered the baked potato, no one was holding the menu to know about this additonal charge and it honestly did sound like he was offering an option, we all heard him.For the HUGE bills my group runs up at Captain Jack's consistently it's now all out the window thanks to the poor business sense of their Manager, Ronnie and his miserable disposition!! It's so amazing how a restaurant Manager like Ronnie can ruin a dining experience for everyone. We will not be returning here again that is for sure!!!

This place takes you back to the days when restaurants had leather booths, live music and fish tanks everywhere. It's expensive, but portions are massive and the food is delicious, so it's worth it when you also factor in entertainment and quality service.
