Captain's Table Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge

Service: too slow. It took 45 minutes from the time we ordered to get our dinner. The waitress was very nice and took the blame but with some food hot & some cold I have to think it was the kitchen's fault.

Food: Okay to not so good. Soups were okay. Scallops & rice pilaf were cold. Crab cakes were rich with mayo. I  used to some mustard in the mix.

Ambiance: Old, including cob webs, wait staff ( they were sweet though ) & the other patrons were well into their 60s +

The BAR RESCUE show could go a lot to improve this place.

We shall not return to the Captain's Table.

I had my DOUBTS...place was stuck in the 1970s, dark, and the average age of each adult patron was 106. I mean this place looked exactly like something Robert Irving would show on Restaurant Impossible!

Still, we had just pulled into town, it was pouring like crazy, and we were hungry. It was early, about 6:0pm and there were about twenty people in the place. Our waitress (Brenda) was friendly and attentive.

The meal we had was rather decent: stuffed flounder, crab cake (single portion), and a cheeseburger. I thought the prices expensive, but then again all of the seafood in the Ocean City, Dewey Beach, Fenwick City area is overpriced for the quality of stuff they serve. The sides were also decent: salads w/ homemade dressing, fries, and a baked potato. I also ordered a bowl of NE Clam Chowder...which the waitress forgot. Yet, she made sure it did not go on the bill and gave me a complimentary cup of the chowder when my burger was served.

I guess I'm giving the Captain's Table three stars because my expectations were so LOW upon entering...certainly not because the meal was anything to write home about; especially if one considers the price: $25 (Flounder) and $16 (single portion crab cake). Oh, the NE clam chowder was, in a word: OUTSTANDING.

Before writing this, I checked the other ratings on this place and am not surprised; I either got a lucky break from the norm or the Captain read them and decided to take some action - at least w/ the flounder, burger, and crabcake.

Would I come back? Eh, best not press my luck...

This place is ridiculous. Im not hard to please with food, but this place is simply a diner, but more than double the price of diner food. The staff is friendly minus the cussing and smokers cough hacking away in the kitchen. The place was EMPTY at 630 on a Saturday night in summer...I can clearly see why.
