Captain's Tavern

Its like traveling back in time to 1985. The music, the atmosphere nothing has changed... The food was good the kids meals were a great deal especially if your little ones like fresh fish. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The waitress was very nice, friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience.

This review is based on my personal experience. It may or may not reflect your experience. Got to say, was not expecting a negative review of captains tavern. The place was very highly recommended. First, the service. The service was very good! One of the very first things that happened was some fellow tried to barge in without a mask. The host turned him away. That was good. Everyone else was wearing masks, the staff were all wearing masks. Thank you for that. Next the drinks. I ordered a few specials on the menu including a leche martini. I wound up sending them back. They were not great. Next the appetizer. I ordered rings and things calamari. We ate it only because I had already sent the drinks back. Didn't have much of a taste, the breading was not adhering to the meat, and the meat was wet under the breading. It was not tasty. Next the crabs. I was told these were very good. But I wouldn't get them again. Next was the desert. Yum! The best part of the meal! Key lime pie. Would consider going back just for the key lime pie. Total bill with two drinks, 1 pound crabs, and a single appetizer was 150 after tip.

A bit price (Definetly gone up since last time I was here about a year ago) Food is delicious. Salmon is always excellent and a very good sized portion. First time trying the jambalaya and it was really good. Our favorite appetizer is the Calamari Salad. Excellent choice for our anniversary. Give a try, you regret it.

WOW! The best seafood restaurant in Miami I ever experienced!!! Restaurants like this are extinct in Miami. A typical old-school restaurant that does everything right, from A to Z. Starting with the waiter, Nick. He made us feel like a friend from the moment we arrived. He passionately explained how they do things at Captain, and we were impressed. They serve fresh local seafood, and if they bring something like from Maine, they also assure that the seafood is fresh and rapidly shipped. I have to stress that the PRICES ARE CRAZY ATTRACTIVE for what they offer!!! Even the bottles of wines are super affordable! For appetizers, we had Lobster Nuggets and Stuffed Mushrooms — delicious! The entree we had the 1/2 lb Caribbean Lobster Tail. $34!!!! Insane!!!! It was served deshelled, which is convenient. Also, Nick told us they have a crazy sushi chef who only picks center-cut fish and goes to the market himself and is super passionate about it. So we ordered the Dragon roll, and it was great! It was only $10!!! I still don’t believe it! For the dessert, Nick recommends Bread Pudding w/ Jamaican Rum Sauce… WOW, what a delicious bomb that was! Mouthwatering!!! Last but not least, they make everything in-house, all the way down to the sauces. They also have a seafood market building next by, so that explains everything. Even the bus boys were exceptionally on top of everything. All in all, I am so happy I found a legit seafood restaurant that has quality seafood for an affordable price, plus service that is extinct in Miami and a good atmosphere overall! A MUST WHEN IN MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!

The 2lb lobsters New England or Florida are outstanding. Some of the very best oysters rock I’ve ever had. Miso salmon macadamia pompano yellowtail. Hogfish can never not please. The pear arugula salad superb. Banana cream pie ooh La la. Please bring back the clams Casino. Perfection. The only thing lacking is a good baked potato but the peas and rice make up for it!! So much to choose from and so many delicacies. Belly clams Alaskan king crab. Stone crabs. Sure they’re expensive but they r everywhere. Wine selection very moderately priced and a great drink pour. I absolutely have loved this place for 40++years and still do.
