Average seafood restaurant. A lot of hype that doesn't deliver. Salad came with dinner and had about a pound of dressing dropped in the middle and the ants crawling on the wall ...

One Star Is Too Much! 8/11/2011

Prior to coming here, I read through the reviews and thought the positive reviews posted on Google would honestly reflect the service they gave high stars for...NOT!! I figure after visiting this place, the reviews might've been written by the owners themselves! Where do I begin... I quickly realized the valet parking was for the suckers who become mesmerized by the priceless view of the water and confuse this dump as being high class. What a useless service since the parking lot is only 10 feet away! Once I walked in, I couldn't help the strong smell of something fishy but not necessarily from the sea. The smell was as if someone in the room needed antibiotics for a bad skin infection! I figured sitting by the window might help but it didn't because they were not open and the smell was everywhere. Once seated, I was handed the menu containing some hefty prices for their dishes. Again, not going with my instinct I said to myself to give this place a try. Boy did I regret it! First of all, the dish was the size of an appetizer. The food was not inedible but tasted borderline to products found in the frozen food section of your supermarket. The flounder was nasty, the single baked clam was mushy and full of filler (Matlaws at your local supermarket are a thousand times better!) and the scallops had no taste! The only thing that tasted good were the string beans. I didn't finish my food nor did I take a doggy bag because I wouldn't want to do that to my dog. The positives... Good service from the poor waitstaff being forced to say with a smile that the food here is great. This place is a wanna-be fine dining, overcharging, waterview mesmerizing dump. Save your money, pay a toll and head over to City Island in the Bronx instead! more

Pretty Good Food And Right By The Water 8/8/2011

Their food is great but it's extremely pricey. I'm not sure whether I can say if their food is more expensive than it's worth. They close pretty early too. They're located right by a dock on the water and it is very clean as well as well decorated. The staff are very professional and I've never experienced any rudeness. more

Terrible Experience 7/13/2009

Sunday Night July 12, 2009 I arrived with a party of 6 to discuss business and enjoy a nice meal. Pros: had a seat by the water Cons: Owner had a ""I DO NOT CARE"" attitude. more

The Most Insulting Dining Experience Of My Life 5/11/2008

Arrived at 8:15pm Pros: The bus boy at least came to the table, unlike the waitress, the drinks and the food. Cons: Staff, ownership, hot dishes served cold, 1.5 hours from being seated until food comes out. more

Below average seafood for a five star price 4/12/2008

Average seafood restaurant. A lot of hype that doesn't deliver. Salad came with dinner and had about a pound of dressing dropped in the middle and the ants crawling on the wall kept us good company. Be sure to make a reservation or you will be stuck eating in the bar watching the valet's do their job. more

Great Food but..... 2/24/2008

Last summer I had a bridal shower for my daughter at Capt. Bill's. I have to say the brunch buffet was absolutely wonderful! Everyone raved about the food. The staff I dealt with prior to and the day of the shower were efficient, helpful and polite. BUT.........my problems were these....I was told I would have 3 tables of 10. Upon arriving there were 4 tables of 8 in the room. Therefore, I did not have a centerpiece for the 4th table. The carpet in the room had encrusted food on it and I had to get someone to vacuum the room shortly before my guests started arriving. The cushions on all the chairs were dirty with crumbs and I ran around cleaning them off. The dirty carpet and chairs are what ""really"" annoyed me. Their's no excuse for that! So, yes the place should have been cleaner but I am still recommending this restaurant since the food was excellent and the location on the bay is very nice. more

One of the best on Long Island 9/11/2002

Excellent restaurant located on the South Shore of Long Island. The meal and service are fantastic. A terrific dinner menu is complimented by creative and delicious specials prepared each night. There is a great bar that is packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Very nice setting right on the water. Also have had an excellent brunch on Sundays. Whether you are having drinks at the bar or dinner on a special occasion, you will be treated to a fantastic experience. Pros: Great dinner, Beautiful Space more
