Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Stumbled upon this new seafood spot when looking for a birthday dinner for our mom — and were so glad we did! The shellfish pasta was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Definitely coming back!!"
"My wife and I were away for a quick getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We were staying down the block at the Tipperary Inn. After checking in, we wanted to take a walk to check out the Harbour area. On our way back, we stopped at Caps for cocktails and an appetizer. First off, the service was excellent the cocktails and the wings were great. We enjoyed it so much. We went back the next day and did it again. Especially appreciated the wonderful service from Ginger and Sarah."
"Very good food and plenty of it. Prices typical for the area. Service was friendly. Even though inside a little chilly but that's time of year."
"What to start with first? First the service is 12/10 our server seated us immediately and was pleasant the whole time. The food was incredible, the fish was incredibly fresh I recommend asking for the "Fish of the day" and throw that right on a sandwich with fries. Great fish, great food, fast service with a smile. Very impressed."
"This place serves the best fish and chips in New York — and possibly in the entire U.S.! The portions are generous, and the fish is incredibly fresh. The meat has a natural ocean-sweet flavor with no unpleasant fishy taste. It’s slightly sweet with a delicate, perfectly flaky texture. The batter is outstanding — thin, crispy, and golden, with a crunchy exterior and a soft, juicy interior. The shellfish pasta is also excellent, loaded with shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels. The clam chowder and baked oysters were delicious as well. The service was warm and attentive, and the staff were wonderfully dog-friendly. Definitely a must-visit spot — and they stay open even when many other places close for the season."
"Had dinner here! Fish and chips and lobster were outstanding. It was extremely busy but our waitress was so friendly and efficient! Definitely going back there, amazing!!"
"Was my first time there. Had sweet potato fries, and a couple of cocktails, delicious, took home an order of fried calamari with peanut noodles, they were awesome, will definitely be back, thank you Kelly & Carlos"
"Excellent food and service. The prices are reasonable, portions are great and the ingredients, especially the fish are so fresh."
