The service was outstanding and the food definitely matched.
I've been to this location a few times before, but this time the staff was completely different. They brought along with them a better atmosphere, better quality food and better tasting food.

This remains by far, my all-time favorite Captain D's due to how amazing that the customer service always is! As a matter of fact, I'd say Natavia is the absolute best being how as soon as you enter the restaurant to get waited on by her, she makes you feel right at home! Must I remind you one of the managers (the tall bald headed, bearded guy) is also very courteous!
