Sadly we had a very noisy chap on the table next to us who had obviously enjoyed the wine far too much! However the food was fantastic and well worth it!

Great food and wine selection.If you like fish you could not do better. All the seafood was fresh and expertly prepared (especially the sole and sea bass). We had two appetizers - watercress soup and buffalo mozzarella were terrific. Key lime tart was excellent finish to the meal.

Must visit for every see food enjoyer. Highly recommend Captain's tower. Pristine quality of food. Size of starters way below average, or value itself. Service very kind and accommodating, yet sometimes skipping a beat.
