Captain John's Restaurant

We’re vacationing in Sylvan and dining choices on Monday’s and Tuesday’s are slim pickings, especially if you’re gluten free! So after reading mixed reviews we decided to take a chance. It was Taco and Tequila Tuesday and the restaurant was crowded, but our table of three were seated right away. Our drink and appetizer order was taken promptly by our lovely, young server. The 2 for 1 margaritas were lite, but still tasty. Mozzarella sticks crisp, salad small with a scrumptious ranch dressing. My daughter enjoyed her Cesar Salad and my husband liked his Surf and Turf (especially compared to the one he had at Harpoon Eddies earlier in the week at twice the price) and my Chicken Marsala was flavorful and tender. When we informed our server that my husband was gluten free she said she’d tell the kitchen. We were pleased when the manager came to clarify an ingredient with us to ensure the meal was gluten free. Dessert were mixed. The coconut sorbet was delicious, but my daughter was disappointed with the texture of her crème brûlée. As stated in many reviews the service and food are the stars here, and yes prices are a little high and decor is kitschy, but Captain John’s is still a solid choice for dining in the area.
