Captain's Table Restaurant is perfect for special occasions with its fresh local fish and lobster dishes. Reviews highlight the attentive and friendly service, with one couple celebrating their wedding anniversary mentioning a chef/manager who spoke about the restaurant's history. The upscale, quiet ambience, along with a pianist playing in the background, makes for an enjoyable and memorable dining experience. It's recommended for adult dining, not a casual family place.

    Food and service was impeccable as usual. For as busy as they were, did not have to speak at an elevated level. Our server, Serena, was quirky but in a great way and along with Jackson took excellent care of us.

    I was so grateful that the Blue Pig Tavern honored my requests for seating by putting my partner and I at the table we hoped for, off in the corner of the room with the fireplace. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and warm and everyone treated us so kindly. What a special anniversary dinner. (Also, the pumpkin pie with cranberry drizzle was one of the best desserts I've ever had).

    One Coastal is my favorite restaurant, so, not surprisingly, our meal was wonderful. All of the items we ordered-that agrobay field greens and rockfish and catfish entrees- were excellent, the drinks were great and the service was flawless. It's our go-to restaurant whenever we're in the area and can get a reservation.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Lighthouse Sound. The atmosphere and view are so beautiful! Everyone devoured their meals! Cocktails were fabulous as well. Our server, Stephen was very attentive. Water and Iced Teas were always filled. There were 5 of us. To start the warm dinner rolls were a hit! Smelled and tasted Divine. There was no gluten free bread in the restaurant tonight but they offered me something else if I wanted anything. Which was very nice and appreciated. Beef barley soup and cream of crab soup were excellent. The salmon dinners with broccolini and rice were excellent as well. That’s my go to gluten free dish there. The men got the filet - nothing was left on their plates! One of our party got the ribeye - while it was tasty, it was also fatty. That was the only negative for the evening. Everyone was so full there was no room for dessert which sounded amazing. Although no gluten free options if you’re GF. We will definitely be going back to Lighthouse Sound.
