Since they reopened after Hurricane Milton this place has really gotten good. They have a nice wine menu and unique drinks. I had a beet salad with arugula that was very good. A friend had lobster ravioli and it was excellent. Crab gratin was wonderful. For an appetizer we shared oysters Rockefeller which was unusually special and a little pricey.I had Parmesan Risotto and it was so creamy it could pass for rice pudding. Angela restaurant read more

The Captain's Table - Beautiful place inside and out - Seafood Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

I think this place would be great to pop into for a cocktail. However, won't return for a meal. The food was okay, but nothing special. Do appreciate all the gf options! Service was pleasant but very slow. Had lobster grilled cheese, shrimp bowl, and ahi tuna wrap (without the wrap so it looks like a salad). Would not recommend the lobster grilled cheese & fries - meh. The others were okay, but I wouldn't go back to order either. On a positive, the restaurant feels more upscale than the others around it and the view of the water is nice. There's a large bar and tables out by the water. It's upstairs with access via stairs or elevator. read more

Nice place to stop for lunch after walking around Fisherman's Village. It's located upstairs beside Harpoon Harry's. Service was a bit slow for a party of 4 but friendly staff that worked as a team. I do highly recommend the Chipotle Grouper Wrap & the sweet potato fries (upcharge). Note that outdoor seating sounds to be best via reservation as they did not allow this request for walk-ins when we went. We were seated along the windows with a view of the water so that was good enough in terms of our desired seating location. Pricing was fair, as well. read more

The Captain's Table - Chipotle Grouper Wrap w/ Sweet Potato Fries - Seafood Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Loved the Captain's Table. It's upstairs over Harpoon Harry's. One great thing is that they take reservations- Harpoon's does not. Great sunset view!! We had a table of 9, so varied dishes- chicken with Cesar salad, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, mahi tuna- everyone was happy with their meals. Clam Chowder was to die for!!!! Highly recommend. read more

The Captain's Table - Great drinks!! - Seafood Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

So I went to this restaurant after staying in the attached local hotel assuming that it would be pretty underwhelming given the relatively large number of "meh" reviews. However, I can happily report that I was very pleasantly surprised with how good our meal was! Our waitress Cindy rocked. She was attentive, friendly, and had a great knowledge of the menu. She steered my mother towards the salmon and myself towards the Captain's Platter. As it turned out, both were excellent choices! Probably the star of all the entrees was the preparation of the salmon- that was really spot on, and the bourbon wasabi sauce they use over it could taste great on a shoe. Other food highlights include a tasty housemade tarragon dressing on the side salad as well as the honey butter for the house bread. Overall they don't seem like big things, but I really feel like they elevated the experience. OMG, the view here is just to die for. However, I felt like the tables and chairs could use some updating if I had to nit pick. I'm slapping five stars up on this joint, and I'm pretty sure next time I make it over to Punta Gorda and return that my stars will remain the same. read more

Located at the end of the pier & right in the water, this place has a great upscale dining atmosphere and delicious food. Our server (ari) was attentive but gave us space which I appreciate. I recommend making reservations, our table of 7 had a great experience. They were busy & service was still good. 10/10: mac & cheese, grouper, potatoes, crab cake, iced tea Could have been better: lobster tail, key lime pie read more

The mains were good and the Captains chowder was amazing, but their sides were bad and additional charges on their menu was crazy high. You can spend $20 on a salad and spend another $20 just to add a protein. The up charge to swap their house veggies with a side salad was $5! And the veggie medley was literally the worst side dish I have ever paid for. Frozen veggies sitting in a chafer all day next to the rice pilaf. Ugh Nice and friendly service and great location. read more

Grabbed lunch here before our harbor cruise. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. First in the shade, but that was too cool, so we moved to a sunny table. Wind gusts played havoc with our napkins, and birds scampered about looking for fallen crumbs. Drinks were on point. My bowl of Captains Chowder was delicious, as was my better half's crab cake. I had the Captains Platter (blackened) and my better half had the Coconut Crusted Mahi. My platter could have used a third shrimp and a third scallop to fill me up, and it could have been seasoned more, but it was still good and fresh. I sampled my better half's Coconut Crusted Mahi and it was delicious. read more

I just had the best fish and chips I've ever had., and I've been eating this for more than sixty years.The accompanying fries were great too. One of our group had a roast beef sandwich and another had their traditional hamburger, both were fully satisfied . This place has had its ups and downs over the years, but today's meal was great. Ambiance is better than many with great views of Charlotte harbor Prices were most reasonable...the fish and chips were $17.00 Our waitress, Ashley, was excellent too although the delivery of the food was a bit slow (not her fault). Give it a try, hopefully you will have a similar experience. read more

We had the shrimp appetizer a salad and a grouper wrap. The menu is inaccurate. Their salad does not have heirloom tomatoes,l but a cherry tomato, there is cherry tomatoes in the grouper wrap instead of slices (made hard to eat) and the shrimp is actually wrapped in won ton wrap not Philly dough. It also was the smallest shrimp we ever had as an appetizer. Service lady was nice, view was nice, but the deck has a lot of deferred maintenance and housekeeping and the inside had a bad smell. Not my scene I will be back for a drink maybe but that's about it unfortunately. $60 bucks with tip for lunch no drinks. read more

closed permanently. It was a great place with solid food. Will be missed. This place had an awesome view.

The lobster crab corn chowder was best I've ever had. Would anyone have the recipe. I know unfortunately they are closing for good tomorrow, Memorial Day so will not be able to enjoy again. Thank you read more

Excellent food. Captain's platter was delicious, the service and drinks were excellent. The setting was absolutely beautiful!

This is a great place to eat, drink, socialise or just grab an appetizer. Great views of the harbor. Great food and service.. Sarah is the best host you could ask for. Erich is phenomenal behind the bar. We travel an hour and a half to come here, and it's worth it. Stop in and grab a chair and relax, have a cocktail and enjoy!!!!! We will be back for their great wine dinner in Oct. read more

The Captain's Table - Seafood Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Giving it a "4" because of the bar service. Traveling yesterday, we stopped at Fisherman's Village to check it out and grab some lunch. Some cute shops there by the way! At the end of the corridor of shops on the waters edge is The Captains Table. Unfortunately, we arrived just in time for the break between lunch and dinner so the hostess told us they were no longer taking walk ins for the day. I spied the bar ( it was not offered up as an option by the hostess ), so I asked if we could order food from the bar area...she said "yes". Hungry...that's exactly what we did ( you sit near windows right off the water so there is a nice view), we were happy with that! unfortunately, I did not get the name of the young lady behind the bar...suffice to say, she was wonderful! On her job...and oh so personable, she made our disappointment walking in disappear to a serious like. She knew her menu , made great suggestions and the only downside here was they serve Pepsi...instead of coke! Hands down decadent and delicious...and not for the faith of heart calorie-wise...Try the lobster grilled cheese ...oh my goodness... YUM! We tried a few other apps..."this" one though...was the showstopper and our bartender of course. Wish I could remember her name. read more

Food is excellent service was wonderful Angela was the best oysters Rockefeller my mom said it was the best she ever had

This restaurant was clearly not prepared for the number of people they were expecting. We had reservations and were seated 30 minutes later. They were behind on serving the prime rib. People were lined up past the buffet waiting for just for the PR. I get the buffet line was located close to the kitchen but things would have moved more smoothly if they located in a different area and made it accessible from both sides of the table. The green bean casserole looks like green beans in brown gravy. Lastly, the chaffers were not replenished in a timely manner. The shrimp pasta was so dried out it looked like it had been sitting there for an hour. read more

We dine here a few times every winter. Absolutely amazing food. Service Is first rate. Will always celebrate special occasions here & will continue. Thank you Captains Table staff read more

Food was good but took for every to get served. Decided to sit outside since we had 3 children with us. Good decision considering the amount of time we needed to wait and they grew inpatient waiting for their food. Bad decision considering we were getting picked apart by the gnats and flies. They had 2 fans for all to use but all of us were jockeying to use them. Not a good experience for us parents. Better for the kids. read more

The restaurant itself is very nice. We ordered the oysters for an app and they were very tasty! The harbor margarita wasn't the best, I kept trying to mix it but it was just missing something. I ordered the mahi mahi which was coconut crusted and had a "glaze". I wouldn't really call it a glaze but it was a little bland. The coconut crust was great and the mahi mahi was cooked to perfection. The vegetables could've used for more seasoning and the rice was a little over cooked. It was a fine restaurant to visit while there but wasn't one I would go back to all the time. read more

Have been coming here for years. Stopped in for a drink in December and just getting a chance to write this review. Ordered a martini and a beer. The bartender was clueless. She put vodka into a glass but let it sit for more than 10 minutes with ice. She then strained the ice and the vodka into a another martini glass. The result? A martini so watered down it had to be returned. The bartender exhibited extremely poor organization and time management. I also ordered a craft beer. I We all know that some craft beer is poured i. smaller quantity due to the amount of alcohol or brand; however, the amount in the pour I received differed from other pours of the same beer. My allocation was not even 2/3 of the glass. I asked the bartender top it up. Her response was that that's all I should be getting. I asked her why I was only receiving a shorted 10 ounce pour yet she was pouring the same beer, topping off full pint glasses to give to the waitresses. This made her angry, so she topped off my 10 ounce glass with some foam!!! One of the first times in my life, I didn't leave a tip. After the thousands and thousands of dollars that I've spent at this restaurant, only to come back and experience this type of terrible customer service...they've lost me forever. read more

I was invited to attend a group valentines dinner here. We were a party of 6, three couples . Our service was good enough, though the server seemed over worked or stressed out- it wasn't the relaxing happy server vibe you get at some spots . Honestly the saving grace to this entire meal was the bottle of wine we got which was delicious. And their hot house bread was great. Starters - dads escargot in cream sauce , kinda gross. I love escargot but was not into these. Fried green tomatoes were loved by all but I didn't try them since there was lots of cheese sprinkled everywhere and I'm allergic. I had a house salad with no cheese, they forgot my dressing so I had to wait for that to come out. Mom like her lobster bisque. Meals / there was only a limited number of options for valentines 2023. Filet or pork chops , no ribeyes or not much options land wise... My meal was the most expensive thing on the menu and it came out super burnt. I tried to eat a burned scallop and it just filed my mouth with that gross burned flavor . Honestly these should have never made it to the table. So I ate my potatoes and asparagus and patiently waited for the server to come check in with us which took a while I may have even had to flag her down. My moms meal was equally burned , please see photos. She is way more hesitant to send her food back so she just ate it which I also found disappointing . Here's a special day, most expensive item on the menu and she ate a burned dish. Eating burned food gives u cancer btw so all I could do is sit there and think about how this meal is really hurting her. I'm committed to not be a people pleaser and to speak up if my food is not good. Especially when it's this expensive . I was brought new scallops that were seemingly less big but also not burnt. I ate them and avoided the red pepper risotto which I asked be substituted. Since I already ate the potatoes , which I liked but they were not very hot- I didn't ask for more potatoes I just worked around the risotto . I did get a piece in my mouth from eating the asparagus and found it very toothy- like very Al dente. This is not how risotto is suppose to feel when you bite it. I had an amazzing risotto from Antoine's on my bday and this just spoiled me to no end. My partner's filet was smothered in creamy sauce which we both agreed would have been better on the side as it ruined the filet seared crust. The actual filet was cooked to order, medium rare and tasted great. My dad and partner loved their helping of double mashed potatoes instead of veggies. Overall dessert was kinda disappointing. I yearn for a restaurant that offers simply sorbet options to finish the meal with a light dairy free bite. We tried the pie and the fondue. Neither was especially great for $10 I wouldn't order the dessert again. Finally the Decor was dated. Like really old carpets and tables . Old carpet is a gross pet peeve of mine. The inside just seemed old. We were seated behind a pillar so didn't really have any view of the sunset. If you go to this restaurant, it's probably for the view. I recommend getting a much better table than we had to make the meal more enjoyable. Additionally after the sun set and the place is complete dark it seemed even more dated . So better to try for lunch or when the sun is still out. read more

At first I was undecided about the crab cake sandwich or the shrimp basket. I eventually chose the crab cake sandwich & my dad got the shrimp basket. They had about a dozen fried jumbo shrimp that were really good. I ate one of my dads. The crab cake sandwich was awesome. I was really surprised. I didn't like the Cajun mayo but thankfully it was to the side. The crab cake itself was enormous. I've never seen a crab cake that big at a restaurant. The service was ok. We had a seat by the sea so it wasn't that bad temperature wise. I'd go again. read more

BAD REVIEWS ARE JUST WRONG! I just don't give 5 stars to anyone. Yes, menu is expensive and food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. We had pesto chicken, well done filet mignon and rib eye, and my seafood risotto. The bread and butter is fabulos. Everyone was so pleased and full when we left. Plastic cups on other review was probably at outdoor dining. read more

Service was great, was there with family, food was OK (fish was over-done). Kind of sleepy - we closed the place down before 9pm.

Call for reservation, other wise a lot of time waiting It could b like all places short staff or just a very busy time 1pm. Drinks were good, we sat at the bar waiting for table. You can seat either in or out. Food was good came out quickly & was hot but nothing to get 5 stars . Had grouper & chicken sandwich. The waitress was very good although it seemed too many tables for her to cover. May try some of the other restaurants in the village read more

Went to Captains Table on July 4th. As crazy busy as Fishermans Village was that evening, this place had ramped up for it. Service was great, food awesome.

You have to try it! read more

The food was very good and our server was EXCELLENT on point with everything The one reason I won't how back is the OBNOXIOUS HOSTESS ! She was out and out rude and actually made a fool of herself !! Insisting we needed reservations for lunch when the place was pretty empty. She got pissed when we didn't obey the sign that said please wait to be seated We were looking for her !! Then counting on her fingers about the rules of the restaurant!??? Seriously ? We were a group of 6 women all over the age of 60. I have never known any rules of a restaurant This woman is a horror and not to mention she has stitches on the bridge of her nose with dried blood and the threads sticking out Either cover the nasty crap up or stay home until it heals read more

Thank goodness for the view! On a positive note, the hostess was welcoming and our server was amazing. She was attentive, helpful, and pleasant. But... the food was horribly below par. Sandwich served on barely toasted bread doused with oil or melted butter or something that made it wet and greasy. The bacon was practically raw. Fish and chips were served as 2 heavily battered small pieces of fish without any flavor. The $8 piece of orange cheesecake had no orange flavor at all and was dry Such a disappointment. This was always a meeting place for our family for several years. We will not be back. read more

We had a great great experience. The service was attentive, drinks were good and the food was above average. We will definitely go back.

Went in with 4 people had a very sub par dinner and drinks. Terrible food. I should have known as we were the only people in the restaurant on a Friday night at 7:30 pm. When paying we were told that because we used a credit card that an additional 3% would be added to our bill. When asked why? They said it's a new Florida law and Punta Gorda is the first to enact it. Total BS. read more
