Le Festin du Capitaine - W MONTREAL

This restaurant surprised me so much. Non-pretentious with great food. My advice: forget deep fried dishes. Go with the sous vide prepared clams, mussels (cajun OH YES) or prawns (or all together as we did). Add some corn if you'd like - it is made with pure butter. And don't you worry you'll end up dirty. You get your own gloves and baby napkins to put around your chin. Everything is served in plastic bags and on paper plates. Very quick and very nice service. The only minus would be not having domestic beer. I would definitely come back.

Concept sympa et ludique. La nourriture et le service sont bons et les prix abordables. Votre repas fera la grande joie des passants si vous choissisez l'une des tables en vitrine. Bonne expérience!

I was introduced to this place via a social event in January 2017 where the entire restaurant was reserved/closed for the event and it was a buffet-style affair. Since this restaurant is not a buffet style restaurant, I didn't write a review until I visited the place when they are at their usual.I'm a big seafood lover so I really like this place. The only thing that I've ordered both times (excluding any side dishes) was the 1 pound of Shrimps in Captain Boil sauce which I selected mildly spicy. The shrimps were full shrimps (with head) so it was somewhat messy to eat (peeling the shell, etc.).Excluding the social event in January 2017, I went to Captain's Boil both times in April 2017 during my lunch and I found service to be relatively quick. However, since it takes me ~15 minutes to get there from where I work and another ~15 minutes to get back to work, even though I found service to be fast, I only went there when I didn't have to work because of the time required for me to go there and to get back to work (and with a limited amount of time for lunch). There were not a lot of people on the days that I went there for lunch.A lot of the seafood come out in clear plastic bags. This applies to the pound of shrimps that I ordered as well. For one of my visits, I asked them to add a piece of corn in the bag. Both the shrimps and the corn were excellent in the Captain Boil sauce. My only thoughts on the corn is that I was expecting a full corn maybe broken up into 2 or 3 pieces but instead there was only a piece of corn which I would estimate at maybe being 1/3 or 1/4 of the entire corn. You must love garlic if you ask for the Captain Boil sauce but there are other sauces that they offer. In terms of the level of spicy, I found mild to be spicy enough for me. It wasn't at the point that I needed water after every shrimp. I found the washroom to be clean and well maintained. The only thing was that I thought that the soap dispenser near the sink table required more soap but they had another soap dispenser near the bathroom wall which had soap in it. They also had some mouthwash in the washroom which is great considering that the Captain Boil sauce had a fair amount of garlic which I liked.This place is somewhat pricey for a lunch (but probably not for a dinner) and is a great place for sharing bags of different seafood with friends. The thing with their menu is that a lot of the seafood items are marked as "seasonal pricing" so if you want to know the price you will need to ask. I asked about the lobster and I was informed that it was $45 and was a fairly large lobster which I'm assuming is about 2 pounds.Service-wise, I found that the service was okay both times that I was there. They refilled my water during my meal without me having to ask.

First time here... We wanted to eat crawfish and heard this might be a good spot. We wanted cajun crawfish because we missed New Orleans... Well disappointed... They were fishy and not flavorful like they should be. We tried shrimp with their Captain's blend... Taste was better and shrimp were well cooked. Ended on a better note!

L'heure et la date du crime; Lundi après-midi, 17:30. Nous étions 5 personnes. 3 adultes, 2 a.dos. 2 Chinoises, 3 Québécois. Le restaurant n'était occupé que par nous et une autre table. La musique était beaucoup trop forte et surtout très, très agressante. À notre arrivée, une chanson gangsta aux paroles excessivement vulgaires jouait. Nous avons demandé de baisser le son et de changer le type de musique. Le son ne fut jamais baissé et la musique fut changé pour du jazz expérimental complètement stressant. Nous avons réitéré notre demande à nouveau. Nouveau changement pour une musique tout à fait horrible. À la sortie, je me suis renseigné sur qui faisait le choix de musique. On me répondit que c'était le propriétaire. M. le propriétaire faite vite un changement. Votre restaurant ne se remplira jamais avec ce type de musique. Personne de mon groupe ne veut y retourner.En ce qui a trait à la nourriture, j'ai trouvé cela relativement bon. Mais comme d'autres critiques, le concept est à revoir.
