★★★★★ 5.0 Albert & Sierra · Oct 2025

I photographed a wedding at Captain’s Inn and loved the relaxed, coastal vibe of the venue. The waterfront setting is beautiful for portraits, especially during golden hour, with boats and the marina creating a unique backdrop. The reception space has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that perfectly fits a summer celebration. The staff was friendly and organized, making the day flow smoothly for everyone. A great choice for couples who want a breezy, waterfront wedding with plenty of character.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rachel Hearn · Mar 2026

I frequented Captain’s Inn throughout my life and always thought it was a great restaurant. I was disappointed with my visit yesterday. The seafood tastes like Sysco frozen food. It didn’t appear to be fresh. Calms casino- mushy & watery. Scallops- small and tasted like low tide. Grouper- riddle with bones and certainly not herb crusted. Many people in the party I was with did not finish their meals even though the portions were small… Just not the Captains in that I remember and enjoyed.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike W · Apr 2025

Great place. Great service. Awesome atmosphere by the inlet to watch boats etc. menu did not say it was an option but I got 2 crab cakes. They were great. Lots of crab and not much filler.

I’ve visited for both private events and dining in the restaurant. Every experience has been high quality. During our recent visit for a wedding, the staff was helpful and knowledgeable regarding allergens. They were able to provide a gluten free dinner (salad, salmon, and pasta), and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 John Ciser · Sep 2025

Great place. Very busy. Service was quick. Food portions was large. Has a bar so you can sit before dinner and have a cocktail. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend this Restaurant. Oh big importance. Its clean!
