I went to a reception at Capt Bill’s on Thursday nite; the food and service were so good I went back Friday night. What a difference a day makes. The food and service were dreadful. We had a friendly, but totally inattentive waiter Keith. We were seated at 6:45. At 7:30, appetizers still had not been served. Finally they arrived. Disappointing shrimp cocktail, terrible cocktail sauce, adequate burrata. The bread was good. Striped bass was ok. Broccoli Rabe was good. Shrimp dish was okay. It was just a disappointing meal made worse by awful service.

The food and atmosphere never disappoints. I’d love to see bench outside where there’s no tables. We are inside and went outside for some beautiful pictures. I have babies. That’s why I suggest a bench. Otherwise, last night was perfect and my mother had a fantastic birthday dinner! Thank you!

The brunch was very good and a great value. All you can drink Mimmosa's and Bloody Mary's were an added bonus. The food was great. However, the home fries were way too salty and couldn't enjoy them. However, everything else was great. We're sure to go back.

We had our wedding reception at Captain Bill's last year, so decided to go there for our 1st Anniversary. Everyone was so friendly and congratulating us, welcoming us back for our anniversary celebration. Our server was Adrianna (hope I spelled her name correctly). She had only been there a couple of weeks but she was so attentive and didn't miss a beat. Food was fabulous, as always. And the view of the marina enhanced the dining experience. We will go back again.
