Once one of best restaurants in OC but not anymore. New ownership and management shows. Service was great but food was so so. Stale bread and frozen vegetables for $36 entrees just not acceptable. Everything here has changed. Fish was cooked well but stuffed shrimp tasteless and small. read more

I'm surprised for a restaurant located in a hotel that the food is very good. The steamed clams are perhaps the best ever; have a nice kick to them. The trout stuffed with crab for a main dish is sensational (trout can be a "catch of the day"--can get any daily catch stuffed). The wedge salad is a bit quirky in that it's covered in bacon pieces, but, hey, I love bacon. Portions are generous. It's a pedestrian dining room, seems like a converted coffee shop space, but could be wrong about that. If reservations are made, your party will get seated right away. In the high season, that's a blessing. At first, I was not happy about the live piano player; seemed loud. The more I eat here however the more I appreciate the talents of the pianist. His sets are not that long, and he takes enough breaks so that it isn't overwhelming. This entertainment has been a part of dinner for some time; it's a tradition that makes the place different. Service is proficient. Captain's Table is found on the boardwalk, but not literally ON the boardwalk--it's inside the Marriott Hotel, on the 3rd floor. Most of OC's higher end restaurants are not on the boardwalk, so that's a plus. Website has nice coupons. read more

The restaurant is very decently decorated. There was also live piano playing while dinning. The food is fantastic. We ordered from early bird special dinner menu which is cheaper than the regular menu. Shrimp cocktail has huge shrimps. Ribeye is also a generous portion and delicious. The crab cake is very fresh and with big lump crab meat. Even the sides are nice too: veggies are well cooked, soft and juicy, so did the sweet potato. It has $1.5 beer and it cannot be missed. read more

We come to ocean city every year due to my significant other's Younger brother's wife and love it! She grew up here and has a pretty great knowledge on what to do and where to eat. So happy there are places still here from when she was growing up.. This place did not disappoint! Besides the disappointment of not being able to sit at the actual "captain's table" that her husband was making such a big deal about LOL the cream crab soup (not pictured) was absolutely amazing, definitely a local favorite and I can see why. (Every intention on getting a bowl to go, it was that good but did not happen due to being so stuffed. But don't worry, that did not turn us away from getting a warm brownie and vanilla ice cream for desert) The raw oysters were fresh and a pretty decent size. I really wanted the NY strip but had to get the prime rib special due to default. I was still very pleased and my daughter loved the chicken cream pesto dish. Her husband pretty much killed his shrimp and grits play (also not pictured) and we got the Parmesan scallops to go... Highly recommend this place! read more

The Captain's table was quite a nice resturant. It was quiet, it was clean, and the decor was great. The food was great. We started off with the fried calamari, which was cooked well and tasted even better. At the same time my girlfriends salad came and so did the best soup I've had in quite a while. She got a ceasar and I got the soup of the day, which was the best cream of crab I've ever eaten. I even dipped the calamari in it which was actually wonderful. For the main entree I had the filet mignon and a side lobster tail and she got shrimp stuffed with crab imperial. Both were delicious. Overall it was a great restaurant with very good, and friendly service. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I ate there last night. Service was good and Ted had the chicken Chesapeake. I had the barn and the bay and there was something wrong with the sauce because it tasted odd and right after I ate I had severe abdominal pain and we were only 5 minutes to our hotel and when we arrived I couldn't make it to the room. I had to use the lobby bathroom. I had diarrhea and severe vomiting. Obviously food poisoning read more

Great breakfast today! Eggs Benedict were spot on, with link sausage and home fries. Yummy!

We read the reviews for this place and we just came based on those. My personal opinion is that this was too upscale and pricey of an experience for a trip of this kind (beach destination with low-key family activities). We thought of leaving but we had walked 10 blocks to get there so we stayed. Food is good. We had scallops, seafood scampi, broiled halibut, ribeye steak, crab guacamole, brownie, creme brûlée, sangria, and a ruby red cocktail. Everything was cooked well - my son thought his steak was too blackened for his taste, but the rest of us were glad to help with whatever he did not want to eat. The best dish was scallops! read more

Last night we heard beautiful music in the hotel lobby. We looked. The man was playing the piano. It was amazing and beautiful. Today we decided to stop in for breakfast. Seemed reasonably priced. They were busy, so service was a little slow. But they were very friendly and service was good. The blueberry muffin was good. Not jumbo like it says, but good. The eggs were cooked well and so was the bacon. The grits were really good! The potatoes were very greasy and not good. They have hot sauce for the eggs and the views are nice to sit at the window. They did have sweet tea, however, it didn't taste fresh brewed. But was fine. I would eat here again if we weren't leaving town. One of our favorite breakfasts in town! read more

The service was amazing, the waitress was extremely patient and polite. that alone is 5 stars. however, the food was VERY salty. i ordered the cream of crab soup and it felt like drinking a bowl of the ocean's water. the taste was decent but with the amount of salt in that soup, I could barely eat it without feeling sick. overall it was an okay experience, i think it would've been a lot better if i had ordered something else. it's not a bad restaurant but i wouldn't want to go eat there again. it's clean and has great service, but the food is way too salty and the menu is extremely limited. read more

This place was quaint, I really enjoyed the live piano music and the waiter was very attentive. For those reasons I give this place 4 stars. I ordered the chicken and shrimp garlic entree. I requested no panko breading on my chicken the waiter had to ask the chef and he obliged. The garlic sauce was very good, the sauteed spinach was perfect, the shrimp not so good it had a very bad taste. My darling co diner had the 16oz Rib eye steak, he gave me a small taste of this awesome steak and It was delish (Thank you ). My go to drink was a margarita and the first one needed more tequila power. I'm from NYC queens !!!We like a good margarita lol. So my awesome waiter made sure the second one was perfect... I miss NYC!!!! read more

I'll start with the positive. Our waiter was so sweet and really wanted to please. The restaurant was clean and I didn't get I'll. Other than that the food was mediocre for the price and the view was of a side street. AtThe "fresh catch" of the day was salmon. Which is unlikely at Ocean City, MD. The rolls were still frozen in the midfle, The chips on the appetizer were stale. The crab cakes for $38 were the size of half dollars and the vegetable sides were bland. My husband's scampi was ok. For the price tag, skip this venue and go elsewhere for something cheaper. At half the price, it would have been ok. read more

Had an excellent experience dining here last night. We had a large group of people and everyone enjoyed it very much. The food is fantastic! I had the calamari and my husband had the smoked salmon appetizer. I didn't care too much for the calamari, it lacked flavor or salt in the breading but it was a healthy serving and the breading was light and crisp and was cooked perfectly. The smoked salmon however was to die for. I recommend that appetizer 100% and it's also a healthy serving for the price. For my entree, their fish of the day was salmon or swordfish. I chose the salmon topped with crabmeat, sautéed spinach with a lemon sauce and I chose mashed potatoes for my side dish. Absolutely fantastic. The salmon was cooked perfectly, skin super crispy on the bottom and very flavorful. Potatoes and spinach were excellent as well. My husband ordered the shrimp scampi with spinach and broccoli. It came with shrimp, scallops and crab meat in a butter sauce. That was excellent as well, he really enjoyed it. Other appetizers and entrées that were ordered by other members of our party were: shrimp cocktail, cream of crab soup (this was their soup of the day), shrimp spring rolls, steak & cake (crabcake) spinach salad and pork chop. I took a couple pictures of our appetizers which I'll post. Not to mention the service was great. Not one order was forgotten or messed up, our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable and every steak was cooked perfectly to how it was ordered (which is obviously important!). Hats off to the chef. I definitely recommend this place, we will most certainly be back! read more

My husband and I decided to take a breakfast trip from Berlin, MD, to our favorite breakfast spot, the Captain's Table located in the Marriott hotel on 15th Street in Ocean City, MD. We were planning to order their speciality, the fruit bowl and creamed chipped beef. The last time we were there, the food was OK but not up to par. We know everyone or restaurant can have a bad day so we went yesterday, Sunday, 12/29/19. Our server was friendly enough, but said the order would take a little while because one of the cooks had just walked out. That should have been a red flag. Non the the less, it is our favorite, go to, breakfast restaurant so we stayed. I ordered the famous fruit bowl with the porpoise banana top. Our waitress told me we could neither order that or any fruit because they were out of fruit. Red flag, especially on a weekend in Ocean City. I ordered a bagel with regular cream cheese instead. While we waited for our food, I watched the server for a 12 top apologized profusely for the delay in being served. The waitress was trying her hardest to make this multigenerational family comfortable. I'm not sure where she's found them but she brought individually wrapped danish for the kids. Their conversation was "we will not make another reservation here because the restaurant was not up to Marriott standards", among other things. We finally received our food and I received light cream cheese. I asked if they would switch it out for regular cream cheese and she said they didn't have any regular cream cheese, they were out. So no fruit bowl and no delicious bagel with cream cheese. I explained to the waitress they we frequently go for breakfast at the Captain's Table, as well as our friends and then go for a walk on the boardwalk as do a lot of the locals. I asked if the restaurant was under new management and she said yes. I told her I was very disappointed. She just shrugged her shoulders. Not the explanation I was looking for. The server with the 12 top was so friendly and helpful for her bunch of restless, hungry, kids. I believe she wrote off a significant part of their meal. That seemed to make the family so appreciative for her efforts. I don't think I'll be back, unless things go back to the way they before. Corporate Marriott is now is running the restaurant. I don't know about other places, but on the eastern shore, things are run a little different. I guess that's why people come here and even stay here. read more

Located inside the Marriott Hotel on the boardwalk. You have to go inside and get to the third floor. I will say it is a little fancy. Maybe more than some people are looking for on vacation. Prices also are not cheap, but what is on vacation?? If you don't mind an early dinner they have "early bird" specials from 5pm-6pm (you have to be seated BY 6pm). The menu for early bird is a tad smaller but still has great options (steak and seafood). Food did take a LONG time to come out but our server was great and attentive. I ordered Crab Soup (soup of the day) and the Seafood Scampi. Crab soup was ok. Big portion. Not as much crab in it that I would like. The Scampi was awesome! Shrimp, Scallops, and Lump Crab covered in butter, what's not to like! read more

My family and I were here for dinner on a Monday night. We asked if we could be seated in a booth due to my toddler's habit of getting out of their seat. Right after being seated, I heard out waiter, Tyler complaining to the hostess about seating a party of 4 there, when clearly a party of 6 could sit there. I wish that was the end of our bad experience, but it wasn't. We waited for everything, ignored for most thing like water. I asked him what he would recommend for dessert and he ignored my question. He collected the dirty plates and went into the kitchen with a huff. I paid and left him a 10% tip. Here is where it gets interesting. The waiter, Tyler, followed us out of the restaurant and asked us if everything was ok. Really???? AVOID!!! read more

Awesome and beautiful place. Great ambience with excellent piano player on a Friday night. Killer fried oyster app, $11.

First and foremost ,service was great . Our server ,Kim did a wonderful job and made it a more pleasurable experience. My wife loved the Cosmo ,said it was one of the best she has ever had . French onion soup was ok ,as was the cream of crab. She had the crab cake and it was ok I thought it needed a pinch more seasoning. I ordered the Mahi special and was disappointed . What came were 4 little filets about 3 in long and 1 in wide , looked like a kids meal. They were over cooked . For that I was charged $28 and to add insult to injury ,because I ordered it blackened I was charged an additional $2 for each piece for a total of $8 .We may stop by at the bar in the future but we will not eat there again .Too many other places with better food for your money. When the back of the house is supposedly Cornell trained it is pretty sad. read more

Had breakfast here. Country omelette was delish w/ ham, peppers, onions and tomatoes. smoked salmon omelette was a bit too salty. Pancakes were huge. We didn't touch it at all had to take away. Saw a lot of people leaving theirs behind barely touched. They should reduce the size and/or make it delicious enough that people don't waste them so much. Waitress was super nice! Overall, food was a great value for the price and better than some breakfast restaurants rated higher. Not sure about their lunch and dinner though. read more

When you order the kids pizza, when it says "Mini" They really mean it. Was smaller then my hand. Otherwise very good food!

A group of 6 of us went here on Christmas day, 2018, for a feast at the all you can eat buffet line. The line had a good variety of food ranging from mac and cheese and suckatash, to salmon and prime rib. All in all, I was VERY impressed with the buffet, and in particular liked the salmon. I would recommend this place for a Christmas meal, and would give it another try in the future. read more

I never do this with hotel restaurants but we ate here three times in a three night stay.. One for breakfast and two dinners.. Wish it would've been for all three nights for dinner.. The freshness was amazing for the seafood.. Portions were very generous, everything cooked simply but well seasoned and flavorful without being fried.. The included salad with the entree is so delicious and plentiful. The service is prompt and friendly.. Thank you again to Christina!.. The best! Next time we are in ocean city we will definitely be back! More than once! read more

We had high expectations based off the reviews on Yelp. Ill skip the drama and simply put in the problems: My scampi was overcooked. The shrimp was rubber, the scallops were chewy, and the lump crab was dry. Doused in copious amounts of butter seemed to be an attempt to salvage it. My wife's lobster was better but still over cooked and drier than she's used to. They didn't have marinara for my youngest's pata and offered olive oil with garlic and tomatoes or butter. What kid will enjoy garlic and olive oil? He didnt eat a bite. Ladtly my oldest child ordered a burger. We had to return it because on his second bite he found a wire. A two inch long piece of wire! They took the burger of the bill. Now the only goo part of the meal was the appetizers. The bacon wrapped scallops were very good and so was the guacamole with lump crab. read more

Could not handle the large than usual crowd on Memorial Day. The management and staff also do not care that the customers had to wait for very long time for the food. We waited for one hour for our appetizer. While waiting, we watched people surrounding us and found that they were in the same situation. Among them, one couple next to us waited for almost another hour after their appetizer for their main dish. Much worse, there was a young family with two young children next to us waiting for TWO hours for their main dishes. They finally gave up, paid, and left. The two young kids were amazingly patient and it was brutal to see them waiting and starving for 2 hours. The waitress only said sorry but didn't do anything to help the family. No manager was on the floor to explain to the customers why their food was so much delayed. Finally, when one manager was called upon, he gave the young family a lame excuse of "their ticket was lost". Not only this place has a poor management, but also doesn't care about their customers. read more

Just when I'm about to give up on OC restaurants I come across a gem. We stayed at the Marriott and though I was reluctant to try this restaurant I walked away pleasantly surprised. We started with breakfast which was complimentary with the hotel stay. Nothing too impressive there, just your standard breakfast fare. Then we decided to return for dinner. I tried their crab chowder with a tomato base. Very tender and fresh crabs. It went well with the warm crusty bread they served. I also tried their Chicken with artichoke sauce and my hubbie tried their Halibut. Both were served with a very tender basmati rice and both were delicious. I adore artichokes and loved the dish, the chicken was tender and served with a cream sauce. I'm looking forward to leftovers tomorrow. I think the Chicken dish was around $19 and that included the soup and salad. Not bad at all. Bonnie was our server and was very attentive and friendly. She even went the extra step to provide entertainment to our easily-distracted and at-times-unruly toddler. First she got him crayons and a coloring book, then when his attention span wandered again she brought out the legos. Apparently the restaurant owner also has 2 little girls so the toys came in handy. Thank you Bonnie! It allowed us to enjoy our dinner. If there's any downside to this restaurant it's that it looks like a hotel restaurant. But don't let that fool you, dinner and service are wonderful. Especially on the boardwalk when all you see is the standard hot dog, pizza and burger fare. read more

Prices are reasonable for the beach and the generous of amount of food. read more

the food is fantastic! best chicken and crab imperial I've ever had and my fiancé said the steak was great. however, service was was super slow and I notice at the end that everyone had bread. we could have appreciated some bread with the amount of money we spent. and the service was veryyyyy slow. but the food is soo tastey. read more

I rarely give all 5 stars but this food was so scrumptious it deserves it. Service was a tad bit on the slow side but the food made up for it. Everything was good. The bread was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. Made a reservation for 10 and they were ready for us when we got there and we were seated immediately. Can't wait to go back there when I visit Ocean City again. If you go to Ocean City, this is a definite place you should go to eat. We all got something different and all raved about our food choices. read more

Captain's Table is a sleeper hit - it sits inside a Marriott Courtyard and begs to be dismissed as just another hotel restaurant. Ignore that gut reaction and head over for delicious seafood. Of course its a bit pricey but probably near market prices. I started off with crab guacomole - which was more so crab cake with pieces of avocado. Still it was great - a lot of crab thrown in and some good seasoning. For the main course I had blackened halibut with crabcake and onion rings (pick a side - plenty of potato options available). The halibut was really fresh and cooked perfectly. With Dogfish 60 on tap, I was all set. read more

The food was good. With one exception. They gave me instant mashed potatoes. A $5 a la carte side...and it was instant mashed potatoes. That aside, the food was decent. I did not get what I ordered though. Ordered the mahi mahi stuffed with crab. I got the fish on a bed of spinach with a few pieces of crab. The flavor was really good. But again..not what I ordered. My wife's dish was good too. She got steak with some kind of onion and cheese topping. Really good. The onion rings were the same I get from the frozen section at Stop and Shop. The "sautéed green beans" tasted like they were from a steamer bag. That aside, the service was wicked slow. Waited about 20 mins for our first drinks. 20 more mins for soup. Soup. Over all, this place does not deserve the four star rating I was mislead by. Three tops. But I'd need a few shots in me to agree to that. read more

Very difficult to find parking and the actual restaurant, but the food and service was astounding. I made reservations a month in advance to surprise my boyfriend and he loved it.

Hella expensive but had a really tasty meal here over the weekend. The portions were very generous; I had enough for two days of leftovers. I ordered the macadamia nut crusted salmon with jasmine rice and string beans in a lemon beurre blanc sauce. I also sampled some caesar salad and the salmon mashed potatoes (holy friggin delicious). The atmosphere was nice without being stuffy, and our waitress was friendly enough. I'd come back, but my wallet would cry. read more
