I needed a wheelchair d/t a casted leg and a fella scooped me right up and even waited near by our seats to get me drinks if I wanted! The theater is also just beautiful, it's been updated very recently but was beautiful to begin with. The ladies room is pure elegance as well. This was the main movie theater in Manitowoc and I'm glad its alive and kickin'! Recently saw the old ELO Band, now called "The Orchestra". Their concert couldn't have been better! I'll definitely go again if they come back. Check this place out if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed!

The Capitol Civic Center is a classic, small-city theater that was built in 1920 and opened in…read more1921, primarily as a Vaudeville house. As the years went on, the Capitol operated pretty much a movie theater. As the days of single screen, urban theaters slowly came to an end, the Capitol faced a crossroads that many such buildings have faced through the years. No one shows film anymore because "movies" are all digitally distributed and projected. Digital projection systems are frightfully expensive. Unable to justify the conversion expense, many beautiful theaters have simply closed up to an uncertain future. (Think, "Wrecking ball.") The Capitol, however, had a more positive outcome. In the 1980s, civic leaders lovingly restored the old theater as a modern live theater venue. Renamed the Capitol Civic Center, the grand dame has been modernized but at the same time, has retained her classic appearance and architectural details. Oh, there's some small irritations, like long lines at the rest rooms during intermission and you have to watch your step going to your seat. (Each row is flat with small step up from the aisle.) Still, the acoustics are good and there's not really a bad seat in the house. I saw movies at the old Capitol Theater with my cousins when I was a kid, so my first experience at the Capitol Civic Center was on September 29 to see "Dennis DeYoung and the Music of Styx." It was a marvellous show! Dennis DeYoung is 70 years old but sure doesn't act like it. He is supported by a group of incredible musicians and he puts on a great show with all his familiar hit songs. Domo arigato, Mr. Kilroy! By the way, this was not the first time DeYoung performed here. He lives in Chicago and is a life-long Chicago Bears fan. The night before the concert, his beloved Bears were humiliated by the archrival Green Bay Packers. With Manitowoc being only a few miles from Green Bay, well, you can imagine the football schtick that he did for us. There is no doubt, he knows how to work the room and play to the crowd, providing great laughs and applause. Dennis DeYoung made it obvious that he likes Manitowoc and the Capitol Civic Center. I do, too.

Service was slow for food but we enjoyed the wait. I did notice a problem with the draft beer serving. I ordered a pint of beer and when I finished it I changed to a 12oz can of a different beer. I used the same glass and the 12oz can filled the "pint" glass to the top. The bartender gave me an extra pour to make up for the difference but why are they using 12oz glasses the same size as pints?

SO MUCH FLAVOR. Then I switched to the San Fran noodles and wow. Same thing. The cook is really great at marrying sauces, toppings, and flavors. They have a talent because I don't think I ate anything I didn't like. Special shout out to their unique fried cheese because what was that? Amazing. Such a great meal. Service was good but I don't even care about that because the food was so fantastic. We were heading back to work so couldn't drink but their beer menu also looked amazing. I'm a sour drinker and seemed to have a couple good options. Highly recommend!

This place is advertised as gastropub food, which is intended and designed to be quick food to make. My inclination is that they wanted us to wait there as long as possible to keep ordering more drinks. It took so long I thought the chef had quit mid shift. Food: underwhelming and average. Nothing you couldn't make at home with minimal effort. Tasted greasy. Even if it was good, I couldn't have appreciated it because the wait was SO long I was starving and dizzy from low blood sugar by the time it arrived. Unacceptable. Will not go back and would not recommend. I'd only recommend in the event you're practicing intermittent fasting or on an intense diet.

The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger. It came with cremini mushrooms, which I'm personally not a fan of, and there weren't any other mushroom options available as a substitute. For a burger that cost over $13, I was surprised by how small it was--it was about the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. I also requested that it be cooked well done, but it came out medium rare instead. The beef was heavily over-seasoned, and there were very few mushrooms on the burger. Between two very small burgers, three underwhelming tacos, and two drinks, our bill came to just over $52. For the price, I expected a much better meal and larger portions. I appreciate the effort and the excellent service, but the food was lackluster and didn't justify the cost. Unfortunately, this isn't a restaurant I'll be returning to. Edit: I was disappointed to read the owner's response, which seemed to insinuate that I was being dishonest about my burger being undercooked. I spent 22 years working as a professional chef, so I know the difference between a properly cooked burger and one that isn't. Smash burgers can absolutely come out undercooked, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened with mine. I shared my experience honestly and in good faith. Rather than acknowledging the possibility that a mistake was made, your response questioned my credibility. I believe that says far more about your approach to customer feedback than my review ever could.

I walked in on a Friday night for a classic MidWest Fish Fry and heard Fat Seagull was one of the best. Right when I walked in I was met with a fun atmosphere full of people both at tables and the bar laughing and just having fun. There is no host stand or designated waiters so just grab an open seat and someone will be with you shortly. I sat at the bar and was greeted within 30 seconds by one of the bartenders, asked what I would like to drink, and was offered a food menu. I ordered a Spotted Cow and Diet Coke to drink then placed a food order of the Combo Fish Fry Plate. The plate included generous pieces of fish (5 total) of Walleye and Perch, slaw, rye bread/butter, fries, and sauces. WOW was the food delicious, I loved the perch and rye bread...I would be very happy with just that! Beyond the food and drink, the people working and eating/drinking were just so nice and fun. Sitting at the bar, I struck up a conversation with a couple different people and to my surprise was met with great conversation. I was visiting Manitowoc for work and found everyone I talked to at the Fat Seagull was so happy to have visitors and welcomed me with open arm. Please make sure to add Fat Seagull to your list when visiting Manitowoc, this is a must see place!
