Delicious food, great presentation, and excellent service! We had an early family dinner at Chateau de Capitane in March 2024. It was Sat but the music would start much later so there was no noise and we could talk. Almost all food we ordered was exceptionally delicious, from appetizers to desserts. The service was very attentive and we also got good suggestions helping to avoid ordering too much :) We highly recommend Chateau de Capitane for excellent delicious food and we'll certainly be back! Appetizers Trio Tartare - awesome! It had tuna, salmon, and yellowtail tartare and each had its own distinct taste. Can't really say which one was better as they were all good but different. Sesame Tuna - perfect! Tuna was tender and flavorful, melting in the mouth. Duck Salad - this one could be better as the duck was dry and scarce. Arugula Goat Cheese Salad - delicious! We were debating whether to order this salad as we make it at home, but we didn't regret. It had a perfect combo of ingredients + some sauce or smth making it a harmony. Kutaby with Herbs - fresh, warm, flavorful. Belyash with Meat - this eastern russia deep fried meat patty was about 1.5x of the standard size. It had perfectly fried dough (not burned) and plenty of juicy medium cooked meat inside. I tired belyashi in restaurants in russia and made at home, but this one surpassed them all. Just this single belyash already makes it worth coming back to Chateau de Capitane :) Soups Uha with Salmon - it was good, fresh, and clear. Plenty of salmon. It was tasty but somewhat standard. The taste could be made more colorful with some extra spices and maybe lemon. Dushpora - fresh and tasty, with cute mini-dumplings. We all tried and liked it. Solaynka - this one was unfortunately a miss. Tasteless and over salted. Mains Duck with Dried Fruits - simply amazing! If you like duck - this a must have! The portion was very generous and had la parts of duck - legs, wings, and breast. It was super juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The dry fruits were of a good variety and matched the duck. Chilean Sea Bass with Creamy Polenta - soft, flakey, delicious! It wasn't not too fatty as a sea bass could be. Polenta was a great match as well as a mushroom sauce served on the side. Grilled Branzino - it was served nicely peeled off the bones and had great flavor and texture, yet was not "fishy". Stuffed Jumbo Shrimps - these were very good according to the people who ate them. read more

I have mix feelings about the place . The service was amazing :from making reseravtion till paying bill . It was very smooth and friendly . The menu was very confusing , what is on ala carte menu( no prices ) is not on their iPad menu, We were there on Saturday night for birthday celebration . We were ordering from the menu, the winner was Octopus salad , it was melting in my mouth , the other dishes like Lamb chops, beef stroganoff and chicken kebab was also very tasty. Chicken Tabaka was very dry, my guest did not eat it. The fish entrees were also good I was very disappointed with live music , the songs were mostly slow and outdated . Only if you order songs for extra $ then it awesome to dance , but without ordering music we would not be dancing... I really want music to be change there ... Once again service and our waiter was amazing read more

I loved the assorti of the wonderful dishes on the birthday of my mother yesterday - December 19th -- this is five-stars, but if the name is French, then servants must be too French people, rather than my native Russian folk, however I understand, that it's America . One woman-servant asked which khutab I wanted with cheese or meat, I responded both, and then eventually she walked away somewhere, maybe she got offended at me... I don't know what's to say, service is four stars personally for that one, the rest of them were working normally. Four-starred for the strange name of this organization and its service, and five-starred for the excellent food. read more

Sorry I don't have a menu pic as this was pre-ordered for our party. They had everything from steak, salads, chicken, fish, seafood... Best to come hungry and with a larger party so you could share. It's Russian owned and most of the staff speak Russian. It was a great experience read more

Been a customer since this restaurant's opening, around 10 years ago. They've redesigned the space from a casual café with a bar to a restaurant with a small dance floor and live music on weekend nights. The portions are tiny, the food quality is great, the prices are Manhattan-upscale-restaurant level. This is not a 'Russian-style' restaurant where you will gorge yourself on huge portions. This restaurant boasts French cuisine, providing opportunities to enjoy your food without leaving stuffed. Prepare to shell out some money for a delicious meal. I've tried everything on the extensive menu, and have not had a bad experience once. The lunch special is a great bargain--a salad, a soup, coffee/tea, water/soda, and an entrée all for $22.95, Monday to Friday, 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM. This is the most bang for your buck that you can get at this restaurant, and walk out feeling full after spending so little compared to regular menu prices. The banquets are on the expensive side. Your four options are: $90, $115, $135, $185. Refer to the menus on the website. Make reservations! On Fridays and Saturdays, you are guaranteed not to find a table without reservations. As tons of traditional, 'Russian-style' restaurants have closed around the area recently, this establishment is one of the few left standing. Expect even longer wait lines. read more

this place is quite phenomenal. i came in late on a wednesday even with a small group of friends and was quickly served a delicious sampling of several dishes all of which were so well cooked and u could tell the quality of the ingredients were very high quality. we started with a greek salad with ultra fresh vegetables and delicious feta cheese. it had light refreshing dressing and was a great start to the meal. we then moved on to a sautéed potato and mushroom course followed by oysters with unit and caviar. all excellent quality ingredients very meticulously put together in a very artfully attractive way and again great flavors complimenting each other. We were served a very nice cherry drink and cold shots of tequila. then we moved on to a meat course. This meat was incredible. the marbling and tenderness of the lamb chops and ribeye steak were grilled to perfection and the accompanying sauces so we complimented each bite. My only regret is I didn't eat every piece and few remained on my plate as I left stuffed and with no more room in my stomach. The waitstaff and cooks and chef all came by the table and were so friendly and accommodating. This place is very well laid out the interior is comfortable it's well lit and it's just all together very inviting. I can't wait to come back again and am sure this will be in my regular rotation every time i am in the area. Check out this gem next time your in the area it sure to not disappoint u. read more

Service Guys , Service. Came yesterday , mid week it was multiple tables- maybe more than usual for a Wednesday , however if they accepted our reservation and other people's reservation I would think they would have enough man power. In any case, ordered some salads , my parents have certain dietary restrictions but the waiter never came that way so no salads for them. The bread ... stale. I guess weekend left overs. It seemed as there was enough waiters/busboys but all seemed confused freaked out as if they were tripping on shrooms , the actual waiter was rude too. We were able to order entrees as well, after 2 hours they were not brought out waiter was barely seen, my parents left at 11 pm on Wednesday without eating anything but stale bread Bc they wake up 4 am for work. The rest of the table kindly waited for any signs of food. After multiple complaints to terrified shroom popping waiter and busboys finally waiter came. Confused with raging eyes literally pleading what else would we like... I don't know maybe an entree we ordered??? When we asked what is going on with him and the service he literally stated he has no answers as he stated all night. So yes. Lovely diner . read more

Wow!!! That's all I have to say. I don't get impressed much but this place was excellent. I was starving and just happen to stumble into this gem. As soon as I walked through the front doors I felt this place would meet my expectations. This place is beautiful and very clean. I sat at the bar to watch SNF. Ordered the spicy tuna roll which was awesome had to order another :) then had the king salmon which was amazing and I don't even like salmon! Then had the Kara Sea which was also amazing! Fish quality was excellent and tasted really fresh. Definitely going back! Just another stop I will be making every time I come back to NY! read more

I wouldnt say i was thrilled with this place. I heard a lot of good things and it did not live up to expectations. The meat was a little dry and lacked flavor. Not sure if it was a bad day but definitely expected better. read more

This place is just wonderful, 5-star food, beautiful plating, everything tasted wonderful and fresh, a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it. The waiter's were very nice and courteous, but this place can get very hectic and it feels like everyone is on top of each other which is not very cozy but otherwise it was an overall good experience. For appetizers me and my wife ordered the goat cheese arugula salad and sesame tuna salad Main course - I got a rack of lamb and my wife ordered the butterfly lobster tail. Everything tasted amazing!!! read more

What a wonderful restaurant. Came here this Thursday for an elopement celebration. The wait staff was so incredibly attentive, you didn't have to even think of what you might need because they already thought it through. You're close to finishing your drink? The next one is already waiting for you. You're thinking of reaching to put some of the delicious food on your plate? The waiter is already offering it to you. Plates were changed constantly, courses were served within a good time frame of one another, a waiter was always within reach but not at all overbearing. Now onto the atmosphere. A spacious well decorated and elegant space. Love music with a nice musician and actually good music selection not your usual overplayed European music over and over again. Now as for the food. The first course of cold appetizers were all fresh, well assorted and looked gorgeous while tasting phenomenal. Everything you could need was available, everything from pickled to fresh vegetables, to meat, fish, salads, bread, and god knows what else. Then came the seafood course, all the fish, langoustine, shrimp came perfectly cooked and not dry, perfectly seasoned and hot. The meat course with the steak was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked steak alongside beautiful platters of sausages, chicken, lamb and sauces. There is absolutely nothing negative I could think of about this entire experience. We're still here and I'm writing this review so I think that says it all. read more

Second time here and they don't disappoint. Vegetarians, enjoy the salads, mushroom barley soup, chatchapuri, and varieniki. Excellent selection of wines and hard liquor. Great atmosphere especially for a party with live music. The kitchen staff can adjust to make food Georgian, Ukrainian, etc. Everything is real-real fruit, real vegetables, real crab, nothing imitation or pre-made. Come with a group and order a bunch of things to share :) plenty of parking if you come here later in the evening. read more

Average is a fair statement. So, looking from the outside it looks like a place to come and have a meal. However, this is an actual old school Russian Restaurant with live music and dancing. The usual issue with a guy following you to give in your jacket. I was cold so I had to explain that I don't want to give my jacket in to three different people including a manger or owner. The usual fee applies as well. Of course there is a tip jar in the bathroom for the attendant. And last but not least the service charge; which for my American freinds does not mean a tip. In most Russian establishments you are charged a 10% service charge that does not go to the waiter. So, you almost always overpay for service because you leave at least another 12% for tip on top. I'm a generous tipper, but I don't like to be forced into it. No where in other American or European establishments do you see this. Now, the food. Unlike many others, we were not impressed. Listen, I grew up in Russian restaurant scene, and every event was a banquet in the 90's and the start of 01 and 02. These days, the community is more Americanized, and we mingle in good restaurants with internationally renowned chefs. I, as many of others in my generation, have been to top NYC restaurants and know what's what. Let's start by saying that the quality of seafood and meat is good here. However, the preparation is lackluster. The seafood salad needed lime or lemon or some sort of dressing. Any Peruvian chef would be ashamed of this type of prep. Hubby had a seafood combo that had a large plate, but the amount of seafood wasn't huge. While the presentation was nice, the lobster had an off putting flavour that's I can't put my finger on. Some guy had a birthday party, and his girlfriend ordered a belly dancer. A lady from a different table decided to join into his private show, and of course some motherly figure from his party got into a verbal fight with that lady holding her back from the dancefloor. That lady was adamant to dance and kept grabbing his handkerchief. Typical Russian restaurant someone ending up fighting or arguing and the owners didn't step in. So, would I recomend you coming here? If you are in the mood to dance and shell out at least 100 bucks a person, then you should stop by with a reservation. The food is fine. However, this is not an extra ordinary seafood spot as I have heard from others. It's a typical Russian restaurant that reminds you of the good old times where people got dressed up and brought their own booz to a place without being charged a fee. read more

One of the best restaurants I have been to in Brooklyn, my first time going and the service was excellent, from the drinks to the entrees everything was great... I had too meet the chef after I had this amazing food, came out and was one cool guy. Trust me a must try. read more

The food is great but I had a horrible experience with the service at Chateau de Capitaine. A waiter soaked me head to toe in a pitcher of soda, and without an apology or anything remotely close to that. He then lied in front of everyone and the manger saying it wasn't because of him and then the manager practically blamed me for getting spilled on. At this point I wanted to give the place a 1 star review But on my way home I received a phone call from the owner. With his sincerest apology I believe it is fair to give this business a second chance. The owners response and action in this situation is what every business should strive to provide. My friends have told me that the manager has been reprimanded for his handling of the situation and the waiter will be reprimanded for lying. read more

While this restaurant is unique and fun, we were not the same nationality as a majority of the other diners and they certainly treated us differently because of it .... the food is ok....and the reason I am giving them one star is due to the $80 minimum per person that they forced us to spend for a party of 12 (this was not mentioned during the reservation process until we were seated and had already ordered; they literally came back and said you didn't order enough when each. Person had ordered an entree and drinks). read more
