The Captain’s Tavern will not disappoint. As an extremely popular restaurant, you will likely wait a bit before being seated, but the selection, quality and preparation are top notch. The wait staff are very friendly, conversational and knowledgeable and can assist you with all questions you may have. You will find the prices to be above average, but you get what you pay for and the daily fresh arrival and filleting of their fish can’t be beat. Do not miss an opportunity to dine at this incredible family owned restaurant, you won’t regret it! Bon appetit!

The Calamari and the Basalamic Faroe Salmon were both cooked to perfection.
The FILET MIGNON was tough to cut and to chew.

We came here on March 7, 2026 to celebrate our son making the honor roll. We used to come here often, which made this visit especially disappointing.
Our server appeared much more attentive to nearby regular tables while ours received minimal attention. We waited a very long time for just two dishes (lobster tail and seabass), and a table seated after us was served first.
When the food arrived, the lobster tail was dry and overcooked, and the seabass was bland and covered in a watery tomato sauce with overcooked potatoes and poor presentation.
Because we had already waited so long, we didn’t want to send the food back and start the wait again. My son ate part of the lobster tail but left some, and I barely ate the seabass. The server even asked if I wanted a box to take it home, which should have made it clear the dish wasn’t enjoyed.
When I spoke with someone who presented herself as a “manager”, there was no apology or acknowledgment, just “thanks for the feedback.”
Sadly, this experience was nothing like the level of service and quality we had come to expect from this restaurant in the past.

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.

I went to this restaurant because my friend recommended it. I ordered shrimp cocktail, miso soup, Rockefeller oysters, and a snapper. Eating the first few things they brought my main course the snapper and I told him to buy it because I felt weird. I’m not the tree to get sick. The next day I threw up over seven times and what I was throwing up was specifically be the oysters. I had to lay in bed all day and just drink water. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. Spoke to the manager named Guido, I explained that I couldn’t and was afraid to eat the remaining food due to my experience. After he heard my story, he responded that there’s nothing they could do about it but pay for my medical bill. Be careful at captains tavern. I would have a box place again.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

We had the best experience tonight. The restaurant was completely full. We were given the only empty table. Initially I worried the kitchen would have trouble since they were at full capacity, but it didn’t. Our server, David was the best waiter I really think we’ve had in recent memory, there wasn’t a moment that we waited for anything. It was really remarkable under the circumstances. Great job.
