About OCC Captain’s Table Restaurant
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
We have been coming here for years, and I have never been so overcharged and disappointed in a meal. It was $200 for four people and one person didn’t even order a main course. The only alcohol ordered was one glass of wine. We had two sodas and water. No desserts. The chicken teriyaki was inedible. Like old chicken strips topped with a bottled sauce. The scallops were like a gravy mush of ground up scallops and gelatinous cream with a few whole mushrooms tossed in. The king crab, which was extremely expensive, smelled like ammonia and was the texture of mush. Will never be back again. Ever. What a horrendously horrible experience when we were all really looking forward to this.
Great service, decent food. Extremely difficult to make a reservation.
Again the food was very good.The appetizer was a mini burger made with very good beef. tasty with a surprise of a sweet pickle vs the usual dill. I normally dislike these but in this case it worked well as the pickle was not overly flavored w anise. My daughter had a wedge salad with a dressing much like Boursin cheese in a good way. I had a Turkey horse shoe sandwich ..this is a bit of white toast w a bit of turkey breast a few fries and a white sauce sort of like a taste of an open face roast turkey sand with . it was also very tasty well seasoned the turkey had nice texture was moist not dry. the withe sauce was velvety not starchy. we both had the same main..a Cornish pasty. In Northern Michigan these are as ubiquitous as burgers. normally they are made with a short cut pastry which tend to be sturdy and hard and very filling. this was like a savory flaky pie shell a nice surprise! the filling was proper meat potato and rutabaga well made tender and tasty. the wild rice cake was different. a bit denser than it need be the wild rice was a bit lost. the desert was..godd except I really do not care for buckeyes..I like peanut butter, but not the added stuff. It was well made balanced tasted as it should . Please if you like buckeyes this was a good one, just not my thing. the apple cake was very good rich and the apple had a strong flavor and was tart enough to offset the sweetness.
Students cook and serve the public. Food is normally always good service varies with the waiter or server waiting on you. I feel before every me the servers need to be reminded to always be vigilant to the needs of the customer. IR: are they waiting to order Are they waiting for desert, the bill, more bread or drinks.
