    Had the Tuna special which was fabulous! Service was somewhat slow but forgivable since they were very busy. Pricing was very fair so we had no complaints whatsoever. Would go back in a minute.

    We visit every year on our anniversary. We even chose to get married ON our anniversary two years later at captain bills. We still celebrate every year with the captain bills family. They always celebrate us with a glass of champagne on the house and an amazing dining experience. We will continue to celebrate with them for years to come. Our server JC was very attentive and ensured our meal was perfect.
