Ship and nautical themed restaurant serving up your typical seafood options. Food was good, nothing extraordinary. Seemeds like the relaxed family dinner place. Service is a little slow but everyone was nice.
Muscles Belgian style were good, Oyster Rockefeller were very good, and then the sampler was good. Highlight from the sampler was definitely the crab, good chunks of meat.
Free Parking is available in the lot across the street.

First time in Baltimore and at Captain James. The food was very good – cream of crab soup, oysters, stuffed shrimp with crab, cheesy grits. Our waitress was very helpful, attentive and answered all of our questions with great detail. She even demonstrated how to quickly Crack the crab shells for efficiency and highest yield of crab meat. Atmosphere is relaxed. This is a good spot.

Excellent dinner and service. Gina, my server was awesome. She was very friendly, attentive and nice. The food was delicious. Great concept, the seafood restaurant is in the middle of a quaint neighborhood and looks like a ship. Definitely will go back. Thank you Gina and thank you Captain James Seafood Palace.

Joyce is the Best waitress, knows her menu and very pleasant. Her customer service is supreme. Atmosphere is good and food is great. If you like oxtails try there’s (so good and tender). We were visiting from NC. Must try. Oxtails come with mash potatoes, I got vegetables of the day. Recommend reservation on weekend but not required.

If you read my reviews you’ll notice I hate most places. But the food, service and the Groupon deal I found for this place insured I will become a regular. The food was yummy and the price was right.

The food and service were absolutely amazing. I ordered the crab dip and shark tacos for starters, which were both amazing. Then i ordered the lamb chops and the seafood platter because I couldn’t make up my mind and omg… that lamb literally melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the crab cake sandwich, which he liked as well. Oh, and the drinks were strong just the way we like them. I will definitely be returning here.

Great location by the water, ample parking for patrons, good food and good vibes. The snow crabs were delicious. The blue crabs were not meaty but maybe that’s how they are supposed to be. This being the first time I tried. The crab cakes was chunky and delicious. The fried rice was flavorful though the deep fried softshell crab could have been a little more flavorful. The service was equally good. We were a family of 10 and we did advanced reservation. Definitely recommend

The main reason we took the drive down to Bmore this past weekend is for one thing – crabs! So after getting a couple of recommendations from the front desk person at our hotel and doing a quick search, we decided to check this place out. And glad to say we were happy we made that choice.
We actually ended up eating at the restaurant and not the crab house (set on the water) which, given it a bit warmer than we thought it was going to be, we didn’t feel like being outside that day. We were immediately greeted and asked how many crabs we were playing to order. A few months later the host brought us to our tables and our waitress followed up quickly to get us and explain some special things with the menu. She was really great – very friendly, attentive and welcoming. All of the staff members were pretty hospitable. The decor felt like a elevates, modern crab house feel with the wooden tables and chairs, nautical colors, etc.
Food wise, we ordered the Calamari and Boston St. Crab Dip for apps; then a half dozen crabs and corn for the entree. It was allllll DELICIOUS! Everything was very fresh, cooked perfectly and seasoned well/tasty. Appreciated the crab dip was a good balance of the mixture/filler and actual crabmeat, plus it being a bread bowl dip made it better in my opinion. Calamari had a nice crispy and, again, more actual pieces of the seafood instead of a bunch of breaded peppers which can sometimes happen at restaurants. Crabs were well seasoned and my boyfriend really enjoyed them – he ate most of the whole crabs himself lol.
If you find ourself on Baltimore and longing for some crabs, this is definitely one place that should be on your list to check out.

The food was great. It’s a nice experience to break the crab shell with the tiny hammer.
The staff were excellent!
