WOW! The best seafood restaurant in Miami I ever experienced!!! Restaurants like this are extinct in Miami. A typical old-school restaurant that does everything right, from A to Z. Starting with the waiter, Nick. He made us feel like a friend from the moment we arrived. He passionately explained how they do things at Captain, and we were impressed. They serve fresh local seafood, and if they bring something like from Maine, they also assure that the seafood is fresh and rapidly shipped. I have to stress that the PRICES ARE CRAZY ATTRACTIVE for what they offer!!! Even the bottles of wines are super affordable! For appetizers, we had Lobster Nuggets and Stuffed Mushrooms — delicious! The entree we had the 1/2 lb Caribbean Lobster Tail. $34!!!! Insane!!!! It was served deshelled, which is convenient. Also, Nick told us they have a crazy sushi chef who only picks center-cut fish and goes to the market himself and is super passionate about it. So we ordered the Dragon roll, and it was great! It was only $10!!! I still don’t believe it! For the dessert, Nick recommends Bread Pudding w/ Jamaican Rum Sauce… WOW, what a delicious bomb that was! Mouthwatering!!! Last but not least, they make everything in-house, all the way down to the sauces. They also have a seafood market building next by, so that explains everything. Even the bus boys were exceptionally on top of everything. All in all, I am so happy I found a legit seafood restaurant that has quality seafood for an affordable price, plus service that is extinct in Miami and a good atmosphere overall! A MUST WHEN IN MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!

This review is based on my personal experience. It may or may not reflect your experience. Got to say, was not expecting a negative review of captains tavern. The place was very highly recommended. First, the service. The service was very good! One of the very first things that happened was some fellow tried to barge in without a mask. The host turned him away. That was good. Everyone else was wearing masks, the staff were all wearing masks. Thank you for that. Next the drinks. I ordered a few specials on the menu including a leche martini. I wound up sending them back. They were not great. Next the appetizer. I ordered rings and things calamari. We ate it only because I had already sent the drinks back. Didn't have much of a taste, the breading was not adhering to the meat, and the meat was wet under the breading. It was not tasty. Next the crabs. I was told these were very good. But I wouldn't get them again. Next was the desert. Yum! The best part of the meal! Key lime pie. Would consider going back just for the key lime pie. Total bill with two drinks, 1 pound crabs, and a single appetizer was 150 after tip.

Captains Tavern is an old school local Miami gem . We always enjoy the hospitality of the friendly people who work here. Everything on the menu is delicious. You can’t go wrong.

I was shocked to see that this place had an average rating of 3.5. I've lived so close to this restaurant and this is my first time here. The interior is absolutely amazing. It transported me back in time to my younger years. I'm not a seafood fan but the family is so I'll take one for the team. The restaurant did not smell like a fish house. The waiter (Anthony) was absolutely great. He was very honest and took his time explaining all the dishes and their accompanying sides. We ordered Churrasco, Trout, Lobster & Oysters. All the food was fresh, delicious and large serving size. We loved the atmosphere and decor. We have to come back for crab season. Well done Captains Tavern!!!! We'll definable be back.

Great meal. The place can use some updating but the food and service were great!

Classic eatery, and good fish. We had old school Oysters Rockefeller and I a yummy snapper. Oysters could have larger but tasted excellent. Snapper was good but might have been frozen. Husband's rib eye was excellent. Very attentive staff big kudos for them.

Hands down one of our favorite restaurants. Found it about 8 months ago by Google search while in the area looking for seafood. This time we drove down from West Palm Beach and even though we had to settle for take out due to Covid-19...The Captain did not disappoint. The place has a lot of history. There is something to be said about a establishment that's been around for 50+ years. I would highly recommend the JUMBO Caribbean Lobster Tail. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Its like traveling back in time to 1985. The music, the atmosphere nothing has changed... The food was good the kids meals were a great deal especially if your little ones like fresh fish. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The waitress was very nice, friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience.

Great food, atmosphere and customer service. The Halibut was cooked to PERFECTION by Chef Dale the broth was to die for it was all so AMAZING. Our server Phil was great and very attentive especially regarding my shellfish allergy. Everything is fresh and just superb. Will be coming back again and again

We went to Captain’s Tavern and it was so good! The sushi was surprisingly good and portions were fresh and large. The salmon sushi was especially delicious! My husband got the blackened hogfish and it was so fresh and tasty. The dessert was a white brownie with ice cream that was enormous! We will be back!

👍🏻👍🏻Excellent restaurant so glad we found this place for our Wedding Anniversary. The Main🦞Lobster Special, Seafood Risotto and the Creme brûlée were exquisite. 🤤A must go. Customer service was excellent and ambiance classy. We will be definitely coming back and will recommend this restaurant to our family and friends. 😃

Food and service was just passable, but not great, which is why I gave them 3 stars. Ambiance is acceptable. Older restaurant with mostly local customers. I would not go there again.

We had an amazing dining experience here thanks to Christine, who was the absolute sweetest. We started with the stone crabs recommended by Christine, which were just what we needed! The grouper was perfectly cooked, and the risotto was great! Everything was timely, food was hot and fresh, service was top notch. Made me feel like a regular my first time.

The food was excellent. Great service, plenty of staff. The scallops were perfect, the grouper flaky and moist. You can’t go wrong here!

Overall, the experience was okay. The food is decent and the service is good. If you’re looking for amazing seafood and a great dining experience, this might not do it for you. I’m always open to try a restaurant once. It’s debatable if I’ll return.

Such a beautiful experience. First, I have to mention the beautiful entrance door. then, the entrance was organized an enough room to walk in. The atmosphere inside is very calming and friendly. The tables were astonishing and very comfy The food was really amazing and they had a good verity of options. Will definitely go there again.

We had the rainbow sushi roll(good), stuffed mushrooms (good), coconut shrimp(good), conch fritters (ok but pass) crispy snapper(good), paella(pass), seafood alfredo(pass), an Asian shrimp vegetable dish(it was ok), kids mac n cheese (looks like dried kraft mac). Margarita was alright but husband ordered crown n coke and it was not crown tasted like jack (big difference). Good waitstaff but wouldn't go there again.

What can I say? Ambience is very nice. A cozy nautic theme setup, with fishtanks all over. Food quality is excelent. One of the best seafood restaurants in South Florida (Considering there are hundreds of them). Staff service is very good, not so quick, but nice and efficient.

The 2lb lobsters New England or Florida are outstanding. Some of the very best oysters rock I’ve ever had. Miso salmon macadamia pompano yellowtail. Hogfish can never not please. The pear arugula salad superb. Banana cream pie ooh La la. Please bring back the clams Casino. Perfection. The only thing lacking is a good baked potato but the peas and rice make up for it!! So much to choose from and so many delicacies. Belly clams Alaskan king crab. Stone crabs. Sure they’re expensive but they r everywhere. Wine selection very moderately priced and a great drink pour. I absolutely have loved this place for 40++years and still do.

Place was AMAZING! Ol family feel, great waiter, food was excellent! It's a bit pricey but you get quality so you weigh it out for you..l loved it!

The best lobster in town. Service Excellent

A bit price (Definetly gone up since last time I was here about a year ago) Food is delicious. Salmon is always excellent and a very good sized portion. First time trying the jambalaya and it was really good. Our favorite appetizer is the Calamari Salad. Excellent choice for our anniversary. Give a try, you regret it.
