About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Charming
Innovative

Inspired by the literal “captain’s quarters” of 17th century ships, guests will be transported to a luxurious and moody adventure on the high seas. Captain’s Quarters will feature a star cocktail list devoted to various explorations in gin cocktails. For non gin lovers, Beverage Director, Eric Johnson has put his innovative twist on various cocktails concocted with Rum, Mezcal, Bourbon, Tequila and Vodka as well as a small beer and wine selection. In addition to fine spirits, SDCM Executive Chef, Brian Redzikowski has put together an adventurous yet approachable menu which will range from elevated tidbits such as Manchego-Prosciutto “Sandwiches”, Burrata Donuts & Papa's Braves to more substantial fare including Captains Quarters own Double Double. Captain's Quarters kitchen closes at 10PM. Walk in's only after 10PM for Beverage Service. Walk-ins available for Dinner Service based on availability but Reservations Recommended.

My boyfriend and I came in to celebrate his birthday and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more! The drinks were great and food was good. Service was exceptional and we thank Michael for that and the great chats! Ambience was great for a Sunday night. 10/10 experience and will be returning on a Friday or Saturday night to check out the ambience then!

Drinks were amazing food not so great but it’s just bar bites so I don’t expect much. Price of cocktails is very typical for a place like this so if you’re cheap this isn’t for you. Ambience was great. Such a cute cool place to have some cocktails I went as a date night and loved it. Cocktails were very good. As a Gin lover it was perfect for me, that’s what most of the cocktails are made with. Overall great and would def come again.

Great speakeasy not so many people. Excellent choice of appetizers, and tasty drink such as the Last Resort. This place specializes in gin based drinks

This place is awesome. My husband and I went there for our anniversary and it was so great. They treated us so well that I took my mom there for Mothers Day. They were very excited about that and made sure my mom had a good time

I give it 5 stars not because it's perfect, but because there was nothing which detracted from a very enjoyable time. The nautical-themed atmosphere is both trendy and "old" like pirates. It works very well. I can only laugh that it took a minit as I tried to point out that the "Parlee Vous" cocktail name was spelled incorrectly! Then it hit me - haha! I'm not a big cocktails guy, but my guests really liked the "complexity" of the ones they ordered. Burrata Donuts and Crispy Fried Cauliflower were extremely tasty.

We really love the neighboring Grass Skirt, but were disappointed with our experience at Captain’s Quarters. We arrived for our 7:30 reservation, only to be told our table wasn’t available so we needed to wait outside. (Unfortunately it was a rainy evening, so waiting outside was cold and wet, but that wasn’t Captain’s Quarters fault.) We checked in several times and the hosts told us it would be just a few minutes longer. We didn’t end up getting seated until 8. Once we settled in, we liked the food and drinks presented, but no stand outs like at Grass Skirt. Our group tried 4 of the tapas dishes and 7 of the different gin cocktails. The bar is very noisy, with small tables and pixelated underwater porthole screens, so the vibe felt like more of a strange mix between loud neighborhood bar and cool lounge. As we were signing our bill, the host come over to abruptly tell us that there were parties waiting behind us and we had already had the table for 2 hours and could we please finish our drinks and leave out the side door — we were truly just under the 90 minute mark since we were seated so late. It left a bad taste in our mouths - we felt like we were an inconvenience the whole time and then we were shooed out. I guess my expectations were too high, given the immersive atmosphere of Grass Skirt. Probably not coming back here.

The cocktails were delicious. I opted in on two of the island bird cocktails. The bartender did a great job and drinks were visually appealing. We ordered the dessert called Fools Gold. It was sticky toffee date cake with honey yogurt and mint. It was the smallest portion of a dessert I think I’ve ever had. It was crumbled on a plate with gold leaf on top (gold leaf is a bit dated). The cake mixed with the honey yogurt and mint was paired perfectly. It was not worth the price. I was a little surprised when it came to the table how small it was. I would go back for the cocktails and ambience and recommend.
