    The meal was great. We added significantly to our party right before our reservation and they were happy to accommodate us, which was greatly appreciated. But the service was just too slow…we waited WAY too long for our meals. And it’s annoying to have to put appetizers in at the same time as the main course. If we had been able to put them in earlier, perhaps things could have paced themselves better. That being said, the meal was fantastic! Food was great and everyone in a large party was happy! The restaurant is beautiful and you can’t beat the central location. Love that it’s BYOB too. We will be back and hope they figure out the service timing issues!

    The managers were really nice, but our waitress was really rude. She checked on us maybe like 30 minutes within us eating once and she was didn’t stop to let us answer we were able to say it was good as she was leaving and she said go enjoy your meal, but she said it very rude and snippy like we were bothering her

    Year 2 on resort island. Food was good. Not very good but good enough. If you have a seasonal restaurant you should be sure to have your stuff together for the opening holiday of the season; Memorial Day weekend. This restaurant did not. Full house but it took 40 minutes from clearing salad to bringing average entrees. There are a lot of very good and great restaurants on this island. This was not one of them. Hope they improve..

    Our party of five arrived for our 5:30 pm reservation on time and was brought upstairs to be seated by the hostess. As we approached the table, it was set for only 4 people. The hostess stood in front of the table, confused, as she proceeded to use her finger and count the chairs... one... two... three... four........ and then moved the chairs to either end of the small table and said to the bus boy, "we need one more" and he said, "just take it from here" and pointed to the next table...... We sat waiting for someone to open our bottle of wine for some time and decided to eat the bread provided... four slices for five people. Clearly the staff has a hard time with counting. After finally ordering, they brought us 4 salads instead of 5... Our entrees came and most were tasty. My husband ordered the shrimp and scallops pasta but the fish was over done and tough. Those of us who ordered chicken entrees were happy. When it came time to order dessert, there were 4 selections. We asked for coffees and cheesecake and cannolis. The server came back and told us they were unable to use the coffee machine because it was "broken" but they could get us cappuccino. Only one of us ordered the cappuccino. The cheesecake came and it was hard as a rock. Frozen solid. My husband picked it up and ate it like a popsicle. Lol It may sound like im being very critical, but I have little patience for lack of common sense. We may or may not go back.

    Dinner was not as good as it was the last two times we were there in August. We recognize it is off season but the meals were not as tasty as they were in August. The salad was all iceberg with two tomato’s, you can do better. Hope next year it will return to the Capitano’s we enjoyed this past summer.
