NOT LGBT FRIENDLY.
I have eaten at Captain Jack's many times, and have always been impressed with both the food and service, but after the way my friends were treated when dining there for a birthday, never again.
THE RESTAURANT IS HOMOPHOBIC AND OPENLY DISCRIMINATORY TOWARDS THE LGBT COMMUNITY
My friends (a female couple) were there to celebrate one of their birthday's, and while there were several other birthdays being celebrated in the restaurant that received the obligatory singing and cake, my friends were ignored, even though the non-birthday girl told the staff they were celebrating a birthday. My friends are classy, educated people, who know how to act appropriately in a fine dining establishment.
When they spoke to the manager on the phone, this was his reply: "well... uummm.... you know we are a family restaurant" She told him she was there with her family and he said " well... maybe we have a different way of seeing things."
I'm stunned and sickened that a restaurant of that caliber (or so I thought) would be so openly discriminatory, especially since they are so close to one of the largest LGBT communities in Southern CA (Long Beach) and undoubtedly have had a great many LGBT people dine there and spend alot of money.
I will never eat there again, and will not recommend it again (I've sent many people there) and I'm calling out the management to make this right, apologize to the community and my friends, invite them for another dinner (comped, of course) and get out of the dark ages and recognize that ALL people deserve respect, especially when shelling out their hard earned dollars in your establishment.
I'd give it minus stars if I could.…
I LOVE this place!!!. You cant go wrong with this place! Everything about it is great. Its worth every cent :)
OC's Best All Around Restauraunt. Everything is great! Best recommendation I can give you is to dive in and do not look at the bread offering. You will not have room for all the great stuff. Personally I love the Prime Ribs, and escargot. Salads are very good and generous. The Prime Rib is so big you may not finish, but you should. Service is the best, atmosphere is great, canal view, and overall quaint. The place has been a favorite of Barbara Bush (yes that one) but very unpretentious. Just have a good time.…
My favorite place to eat in the whole wide world!.
Captain Jack's has been my favorite restaurant since I was a teenager. I don't eat the prime rib, (my husband does and loves it) but all other entrees have always been excellent too! The ambience
with the nautical theme is wonderful and the music in the bar is very good.
We have lived in Idaho for the past 18 years, and still make it back to Captain Jack's once or twice a year. We are headed there tomorrow for our 28th anniversary dinner and just going down to S. California to go to Captain Jack's.
I have told many people in Idaho about the restaurant, and now they make a point to eat there when in town. One of the gals I work with I told about Captain Jack's. She makes a reservation to eat there with her girlfriends every year when they go down for the Pageant of the Masters.
Food and service are excellent and we have never been disappointed. I wish they still injected the giant chocolate covered strawberries with Grand Marnier, but they stopped that about 20-25 years ago. That was always a favorite.
My husband and I are looking forward to tomorrow night's dinner, because we know it will be the best we've had in a restaurant since the last time we ate there!…
