Faster, better…

I am very fond of breakfast buffet’s. Perhaps it’s because I can have seconds of scrambled eggs or maybe it’s just the seconds. The Captain’s Table has a superb breakfast buffet. My spouse described it as typical but I think it is more “American breakfast” southern style with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, candied fruit, fresh fruit, bacon, corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, multiple types of potatoes and on and on. Yum. The coffee is excellent.

This morning we dropped in before church at 8:30 AM. Captain’s Table opens at 7:00 AM. Now that’s breakfast. The waitresses are excellent. Attentive, polite, experts. We were shown to our table and walked directly to the buffet. We were able to eat and get our bill paid within thirty minutes.

The ambiance is “local marina.” After you have successfully found the Captains Table you are offered views of the marina, marine paintings by a well known local painter sold right off the walls of the restaurant. The restaurant is behind the Solomon’s Comfort Inn. Allow extra time to find the place your first and second time. Finding the restaurant is worth the effort.

We have been to the Captain’s Table twice for breakfast. We have ordered from the menu and used the breakfast bar. The restaurant is open until 9:00 PM and I am told it is a resoundingly successful night spot for evening meals. The Captain’s Table is on my list of older, quaint, and colloquially local restaurants. The building and the crew have character. The step down into the harbor water-front view table area always gets you a polite, “Watch your step!” You can tell from the bar patrons and customers that almost everybody has been there before. It’s a place where you just get that warm and fuzzy home-cooked feeling and one where everyone is welcome. Very few restaurants actually achieve giving the patrons the feeling they are taking a meal and entertainment in the owner’s water-front rec room or home. This restaurant does. We were properly greeted and even thanked for coming by more than one employee. The Captain’s Table is a great place to start your day. We heartily recommend it as a four on our scale of regularly visited eating establishments. It’s one awesome local spot you might otherwise miss if you were not looking for it. The local folks all know where it is.

The Captain’s Table is located at 275 Love Rd., Solomon’s Island, Maryland. 410-326-2772.
