I just thought I'd take a minute and let you know about our Cap'n Jacks Dinner. We were just there on 8/16 and had a 5:40 reservation. Yes, we were on the dining plan! We arrived about 5:35 and I had been expecting to wait awhile since that had been the trend all week. Wherever else we went, we got there within 5 minutes of our reservation time and waited at least 40-50 minutes for our table. Anyway, I'll post those reviews later!
So we checked in at the desk and were asked to have a seat and they would be with us shortly. Well, the waiting area was great because it had a TV tuned to the Disney Channel and the kids were happy with that. We only waited 5 minutes and a hostess called out someone's name. I wasn't paying attention since I figured it would not be ours, so soon! She called us again and it actually was our name! I jumped up and told her that this was the fastest we had been seated all week!
We were led to a table in the bar area against the window and it was a very nice view. My 20 month old was entertained by the boats and ducks going by and my other 3 kids thought it was very cool.
Appetizers - 2 of the kids got the fruit cup and one got the vegetable soup. The fruit was fresh and cold and very good. My son thought the soup was great and kept trying to get me to try it. I did and it was very good.
DH ordered the Spinach and Artichoke Dip served with tortilla chips. That was delicious. It was hot and creamy and was enough for the whole table to share. I ordered the shrimp cocktail which was very good and fresh. I only got to have a few, because the kids each had to try it as well!
Entree - First the kids meals....1 hot dog and 2 macaroni and cheese dishes. Very typical for kids meals. Wish they had shrimp for the kids because they all love seafood. They arrived hot and did not look like they had been sitting very long. DH ordered the Top Sirloin and I ordered the Twin Lobster tails. Our plan was to each have a lobster tail and split the Steak. However, the waitress asked DH if he wanted to add a Lobster tail since it was included with the dining plan! So I had the twin lobster tails and he had his steak and lobster! The lobster tails were wonderful. They were both a very good size and bigger than I had expected! DH thought his steak was just okay. The type of onion gravy that they put on it "made it taste more like a pot roast than a sirloin steak". He did however manage to eat the whole thing! Just not what he was expecting as far as a Sirloin.
Our plates were cleared and we were on to the desserts! 2 of the kids ordered Smoothies as their dessert and one ordered the worms in dirt. They were all very good. I had the Raspberry cheesecake and it was delicious. I could not eat the whole piece. DH ordered the Key Lime Pie and coffee. Everything was super.
Our server was excellent and we had to ask to make sure her gratuity was included since it did not show up on the receipt. We were assured that it was included.
We went on to have a much more enjoyable evening that night and I believe it was because we had a good start with a great dinner. I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't yet.
