    We had an incredible evening! The service was excellent and the food was equally great! We were blessed to sit outside on the deck for dinner and enjoy a beautiful sunset and watch the sailboats in the Ohio river.

    Very disappointed that I made a reservation so that we could sit outside. With the reservation you still stated that it would be an additional 30 minutes past the reserved table time.

    Food was bland and not warm at all. Ordered the cookies Ala mode which was supposed to be a warm cookie with ice cream....cookie was cold and not even remotely warm. Only time I'd ever go back is to just go to the bar bc that looked pretty cool.

    I haven't been to Captain's Quarters in a long time. Since my last visit, it has been through floods, upgrades and renovations. The dining room is light and airy with windows that look out over the river. At the back is a fireplace that will be welcome when cold weather returns. The day we were there, it was raining but the outside sitting areas were attractive. The food was good. Reasonably priced. We went for lunch; the crowd was older. The place was not full. The noise level was completely acceptable. Our server was a gem. Attentive. Available. Pleasant. We'll go back.

    Brunch is an after thought. It's just not good. Go there for everything else. But please avoid the brunch menu. We love this place but their brunch menu should be canned. There regular menu is good and well executed. Simply avoid the brunch menu!!!!!!

    We are new to KY and we’re excited to try this staple of the community. At arrival the front desk was filled with 6 teenage girls. Very disorganized, chaotic and not attentive. Once we were seated with our reservation Jay stepped in. What a terrific guy! Attentive, charismatic, excited, hard working and just a real nice person. Very helpful with the menu and its offerings. The food was terrific! Pretty to look at, very hot and delicious. We will go back. Fall and winter for sure. Great ambiance inside. Packed and chaotic outside.
