Meg was super responsive and helpful with all inquiries and ensured everything ran smoothly.

The only thing that we could point out was cancelling orders with more than a weeks notice. Would of been nice if the money from the meals could of gone back into the bar tab.

30th Birthday Party · 13 guests · November 2025 · The Captain's Table

I booked The Captain’s Table to celebrate my 30th birthday and it couldn’t have gone better. On the night, our waiter was honestly fantastic. He helped plan out the timing for the food, checked in often, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the room was beautiful, and the whole atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. I’d definitely recommend The Captain’s Table for any special celebration.
