Disney magic at it's best! My boyfriend and I ate here in September 2017. Fantastic meal and service. Our waitress was from France. The meal was temporarily held at Ariel's, a wedding venue at the Beach Club because the Captain's Grille is currently being remolded with a new name. We will definitely have to try out the new restaurant on our next stay. We were on the dining plan and this is the only restaurant that allowed us to get a specialty non-alcoholic mixed drink from the bar. Service and food were fantastic.
Pros:

We had dinner here on 3-19. Our 13 year old was excited about having her favorite -crab legs. Husband and I ordered crab cakes. For me they were the perfect size but hubby is a big eater so they were on the small side. He ended out sharing the crab legs. He had ordered the clam chowder and we order the shrimp for apps. The oreo brownie desert was the best. The cheesecake was good also. Dino was the best server. He was very informative and great interaction with us.

Ate here 9/13 ressie at 5pm. was at Epcot so took short boatride over to explore resort as we are new DVC members. A storm was coming so we headed inside to explore gift shops etc. we arrived 10 min early and was seated immediately. We were the only ones in the entire restaurant. Our waiter who I forgot his name and wished I'd remember was excellent he talked to us and carried on conversation while it was storming outside. This was our 25th anniv adults only trip (our first ever!!) and dh ordered seafood dish and I ordered strip The food was excellent. We opted to not get dessert and get side salads instead which you are allowed. The side salads were good size and didn't just have lettuce and a piece of crouton like most. Our food came out hot, fresh and quick. Our server came around frequently for refills and then surprised us with a champagne toast. How lovely he told us he wanted to do something since we didn't get desserts. This hidden gem is truly wonderful and great if you don't want to use 2 credits for Yachtmans. I think the food is just as great if not better. The waiter told us that it is usually not crowed and can always get a ressie. Its a favorite of castmembers because it is so quiet. When we left after almost 1.5 hrs there were only 4 other couples in the entire place. Will return again !!
Pros:
quiet, waiter was excellent food excellentCons:

We ate dinner here on our last day of vacation. Very pleasant experience.
Let me say first, our waitress (Leah from Wisconsin) was delightful. Very efficient and pleasant. We started with the romaine/bacon salad, which we shared as an appetizer. It was delicious and very generous! I had the crab cakes and my husband had the NY strip steak, both of which were very good and priced nicely for the quality!
It is a quieter atmosphere than many other dining places and a good get-away from the parks. Highly recommended!
Pros:
quiet, quality food, very nice presentationCons:

Surprisingly great meal.
My wife and I ate here on Nov. 8, 2015. Our ADR was for 5:20 and we were seated immediately upon arrival. We made these reservations earlier in the day on February 8th and it turned out to be a real surprise – it was one of our better meals at WDW on this trip.
Both of us got the Clam Chowder as an appetizer and it was very, very good. We both enjoyed the soup. For our entrees, my wife got the crab cake meal and I had the Beer-braised Mussels and Clams with Chorizo, Fines Herbs, and Garlic-Herb Butter with Toasted Focaccia. My wife really liked and enjoyed her crab cakes, but my Mussels were stellar!! Usually I don’t care for chorizo flavored dishes, but these mussels were among the best I’ve ever had. My wife also really liked the. We can’t wait to go back and have the mussel again!!! Highly recommend this very under-rated and under-utilized restaurant.
Pros:
Very good Service, Great FoodCons:

My husband and I ate here on March 8th for his birthday lunch. We were on the deluxe dining plan, so I had the crab cake appetizer and he had the soup special. My entree was the lobster roll and it was overflowing with lobster meat. It was delicious. My husband had the fish and chips, which were equally yummy. For dessert, I had the Braeburn apple buckle, and my husband had the chocolate cake. We were also presented with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the waitress brought him a balloon with Mickey weights. This place is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend it. I have now dined her for lunch and dinner.

My family of 6 enjoyed dinner here on July 2. I was very hesitant after some of the negative reviews, but I have to say this was probably my favorite meal of the entire 6 day trip.
We were seated promptly at our 6 o'clock reservation time and the service was excellent. Our waiter, Matt was wonderful. Ask for him if you dine here. He made sure all of our needs were met. He was also very friendly and chatted up my entire family.
We enjoyed crab cakes, clam chowder (best I have EVER had), crab legs, NY strips, fish of the day and pasta.

Had a great dinner here in June. Flavors were well developed in both of our dishes. Service was nicely done. Restaurant was not crowded and tables are well spaced.

If you can't secure the World Showcase reservation you want, are staying at the Epcot area resorts, or just want a break from the parks I would highly recommend the Captains Grill. Have dined here with a family of five the past two years and both experiences have been excellent. The staff is amongst the best I've encountered and the food is top notch.

Great food, service and staffCons:

This was easily one of the best meals of our trip. While it's not exactly easy to get to, it's worth the hassle to get there. DH had the grilled chicken sandwich which he really enjoyed, and I ordered the fish n chips. I didn't have chips though: I opted for the orzo pasta salad instead which was fantastic on a hot day! We are from the Northeast, so are used to really good seafood, so when I say the fried fish was good, that's saying something! We would definitely eat here again.
