About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
A Baltimore landmark since 1978, Captain James Landing Restaurant has earned the name "most unique eatery" in Baltimore City. For starters we are the only restaurant shaped like a merchant vessel. Five brothers created a restaurant in the 70"s with the goal of providing quality service to the citizens of Baltimore, Maryland as well as the thousands of tourist that visit our Monumental City. Our Waterfront Crab House (located adjacent of our restaurant) was awarded in 2012 "#1 Best Crabs in Baltimore" by Baltimore Magazine. Our Crab House is the one spot in the city where you can eat steamed crabs with a true waterfront seating. Water Taxi Stop #14 brings you right to our waterfront location.

    AM had the lobster roll, which is clearly one of the best in the Baltimore area. I had the lamb chops which came out a perfect medium as requested. A glass of shiraz was a great complement to the lamb.

    Where do I begin? First time coming here, and it was not a good experience for any of us. Ordered the crab dip, and it was honestly the worst I've ever had. Actually sent it back. It was so fishy, and had a weird, dingy, off white color, had wayyyy too much Old Bay, was too spicy, and was oily. Was gonna just keep it and let everyone else eat it, but the whole table agreed it was nasty. Then I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and it had no actual shaved or shredded parmesan cheese on it, just the grated kind from a can, yet cost $20. They didn't have any good girly/fruity drinks to choose from, mostly wines. We really wanted something fozen, like a daiquiri. Our whole bill came to almost $240 for 4 people! They also added on an automatic gratuity for 4 people and the service sucked! Once our food came, we didn't see our server again for over 45 minutes. Didn't check on us once to see if we were good, needed refills, or anything. My husband had to finally flag her down. Was debating on getting the crabcake sandwich, but it was $41! For a SANDWICH not even a platter! Only thing that was halfway decent was my husband's burger, and even that didn't come with cheese, had to pay extra. Got a slice of Oreo cheesecake to go, and it looked more like a chocolate mousse cheesecake, it was so dark, and such a tiny slice. The inside was small and cramped. All in all, not a good dining experience, and will not return. 👎

    Food was delicious and portions were generous! We tried the calamari which was delicious and their waffle fries which were also yummy. We got the seafood alfredo and the seafood platter and it was also great. I enjoyed the mixed of foods on the platter.

    I had a Groupon which stated any day with no exclusions but it was not accepted because of Valentine’s Day..not sure how Groupon deals with this… I would think that if the restaraunt would have an exclusion it would have been given to Groupon..a little disappointed.. and an automatic 18% gratuity added on top of everything. Was upstairs and the music was very loud…NOT ENERGETIC!!! Unfortunately will go back so I don’t lose my $100 Groupon..
