Saw the recent IG shoutouts and thought we would give Capitaine a visit. Stopped in on a Thursday evening at 8pm for a late bite to eat. Upon entering the vibe is a cozy and intimate space. The seating area to the left of entrance seems a bit awkward but is functional. There are a few high top tables in the center and four large booth tables to accommodate a party of four or five easily. The bar offers additional seating.
The crowd was moderate, not overwhelming but the only two waitresses(one was also the bartender)seemed a bit stretched out. We weren’t greeted upon entering and attempted to seat ourselves but all vacant tables had dirty plates left from previous patrons. The manager finally cleaned a table. When ordering we asked about drinks shown on IG and if they had a drink menu. They do not but we were told they can pretty much make whatever you want. We also noticed hookah pipes sitting near the bar as well as another customer smoking hookah when we walked in. Had to ask the waitress what the price was and flavors. There was no menu or listing for this either. While waiting on food we noticed a few customers complained about their food orders and checks being wrong. I saw a few people have to inquire about their orders being slow. We ordered food at approximately 8:10pm and received entrees 8:54pm. Entrees we ordered were the Capitaine Platter (grilled shrimp, lobster tail, and a side of plantain) Also ordered the Mango Habanero wings with a side of fries. Drinks were Sunrise Mimosa Margarita and Blue Lemon Drop, they left a lot to be desired.
Lobster was over cooked, shrimp were ok. Had to ask for drawn butter for lobster which seemed foreign to them and it was obvious from lack of seasoning and refrigerator taste. Wings were the smallest I’ve seen. Not sure where they found that chicken and there was not a lick of heat for the habanero.
Best thing ordered were the plantains.
