Captains Quarters Riverside Grille

I love this place got the view and the music and the memories We used to come here on our boat when I was a child Still a great spot

Plus...we got a table at the windowMinus... there were spider webs and spiders along the wallPlus... nice variety on the menuMinus... food was a little warmer than room temp and taste was mediocre at best (fish tacos, ribeye, seafood trio), only saving grace, the Brussel sprouts were very tasty (but would've been better hot)Plus... service started out goodMinus... service went down hill after order was taken, very slow to check on drinks & refill. Asked if we wanted dessert, took over 1/2 hour to come back. Ended up not ordering because we got tired of waiting to place our order! How can you post a 90 minute table time, when the service is so slow?!?!?

Another winter visit to Captains Quarters. Three of us this time. We love the water views, whether the ocean, gulf, or river. It was a beautiful day....sunny with river traffic. A very quiet and enjoyable lunch...what beautiful accommodations this restaurant has. SUNNY greeted us at the door to help us in!! Our waitress IZZY was VERY accommodating and helpful. Their menu is very flexible. We opted for the fish sandwich, choice of fried or broiled. I like mine broiled with a little blackening and it came out beautifully prepared. Fries and slaw come with this choice, but onion rings can be switched in. Just so very nice to sometimes sit in a more quiet atmosphere and enjoy the meal. Across the hall is a very active bar. Lots of customers there. So you have your choice. On the way out, MIKE spoke to me as to their reservation protocol. Very reasonable to ask for a 24 hr notice to cancel!! Thank you for your very nice staff. We will see u in a few more days!! Bringing other friends!!! See below, the current menu.

You don't go there for the food, but the tuna takaki happens to be really good there. So are the onion rings. The service is also good. Most of the other dishes are meh or not so great. But WOW on the view! And when there's a good band there like Soul Circus, make a reservation for dinner and stay to dance!

One of our favorite places to eat is Captain's quarters and it's been way too long since we ate there. So we decided to take our Grandson there for lunch. There is an amazing view of the river when you sit outside. We asked for an outside table and we were seated on the deck with a wonderful view. The weather was cool so it made for a very pleasant afternoon. They have a wide variety of selections on the menu. I chose the Shrimp and Grits, our Grandson got the Mahi Mahi and my wife got the Cod Tacos. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Our service was exceptional and we helped train a new server, Gabriella. We can't wait to go back.

The location along the river makes for a picturesque backdrop while dining at this restaurant. While meeting a friend for lunch during a weekday, even with reservations, we still had to wait approx. 15 minutes to be seated. Our server, though polite, was moving a bit slower than I had anticipated in a half-full restaurant: Most guests were seated along the windows and on the patio on this usually warm late autumn day. The Caesar salad was average. The fried green tomatoes were a treat since they're not widely available on menus, those there were still average, at best. You'll come for the menu, but the view is the real treat. If you can be satisfied off of a view, then you'll be fine.

I enjoyed a lovely dinner and drinks with my friends on a balmy Friday night seated at the lower deck near the entrance to Harrod's Creek. We had fabulous views of the waterfront and witnessed boat traffic and nature as we took in the sunset. Our waitstaff were all fantastic. Our server checked on us periodically, refilled drinks, and adjusted our umbrella to keep us in the shade. We started off with the fried green tomato appetizer, which was fantastic with 5 crisp tender slices on a bed of lettuce and dressed with crumbled goat cheese. We also shared a hummus appetizer with roasted peppers, hot pepper rings, crumbled cheese, mixed pitted olives, and soft triangles of pita bread for dipping. I also requested a cocktail, a spicy Bloody Mary, and it was a great accompaniment for the food items. For dinner, I chose a side salad and an appetizer-sized portion of Boom Boom shrimp, which included a half dozen crispy coated shrimp tossed in a spicy chili aioli sauce. All of the food items were well-prepared and had a very appealing presentation. When we were finished with dinner, we meandered over to the outside upper bar area to listen to live music performed by the group Decades, which was fantastic. By this time, the place was extremely busy and louder, so we sat off in a lounge area and people-watched for a bit before finally heading out just prior to sunset. Large parking lot, easy to find, and a bonus with the picturesque drive to and from the restaurant.

The view here is outstanding! But the food is completely average. Service was ok but not great. I wouldn't go back.

We arrived early, an hour before our 5:30pm reservation, just to walk around and enjoy the riverfront views. We stopped at the inside bar to order drinks, and found outside seats under an umbrella that was perfect for enjoying our friends! At 5:30, we checked in for dinner and were told that our table was ours for only one and half hours, because today is a holiday. Knowing that we normally take about two hours to dine, we hurriedly ordered pizza for our appetizer and tea; both arrived quickly. We proceeded to order a small meal, only a salad, because we felt too rushed to enjoy more within the hour and half allotted for this holiday dinner reservation. Our pizza and salad was delicious, and our tea refreshing. Sadly, we didn't have time to order a main course or dessert, so I can offer little more to this review.Our server was efficient, attentive, and checked on us serval times to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. He did bring the check just before 7:00pm. We paid at the table and departed.Overall, I wish we had been able to stay longer during dinner, I would have enjoyed tasting the Hot Brown or maybe the Shrimp and Grits, but it wasn't meant to be I guess.

So weird. Arrive at about 3:35pm and empty tables everywhere but because there is about to be a shift change we are asked to wait 20 To 25 minutes. What?? You can seat people and then close out and bring another server in. But don't make people wait nearly half an hour because of a shift change. It's not a hospital. It's a restaurant! Keep the flow going! That's ridiculous.
