I go here with adult friends to unwind. I usually have good service and good food (Love the Oysters Dioblo and broiled crawfish tails!). Although I love it with friends, I don't take my kids.

I ordered raw oysters and boiled shrimp at Captain's. The waitress was very apathetic and slow. The food looked dirty, with sea sludge floating in the water and filmy on top of the oysters. The waitress neglected us as we waited, and a bartender came to our table, as I imagine he noticed our lack of service. Afterward, I became gravely ill, and vomitted for 2 days straight. My vomitting was so uncontrollable that I saw a physician and she told me to go to the Emergency Room immediately. The ER doctor gave me a treatment for vibrio, although he wasn't sure if that was the cause. I wasn't sure if I should report Captain's to the health department, but decided I didn't have absolute proof they made me ill.

Mariscos Seafood is a great place for authentic Mexican seafood. They have a variety of entrees at a very reasonable price. If anyone is in that neighborhood I suggest they stop by and try a shrimp cocktail or maybe some ceviche. It is a family ru

I don't know what happen to this place. They use to be pretty good. The last couple of times I went there the food has gotten worse and worse(Shrimp Diablo, Broiled Crawfish Tails and Fried Crawfish Tails). And the service with it(charged of items that I did not order).
Sorry to see a good restaurant go bad but I guess it happens.
