I went with my brother to dine and we loved. Very delicious food, great service. Not too expensive for the portions that is served. The chocolate mousse is a must.

Captain darling is a cute, modern pub style restaurant with up to date dishes. The service is good, the atmosphere cozy! The food is overall great, though the vegetarian lasagna was good but could have used some more “oomph” in terms of spices. Their mashed potatoes and bread are amazing and 100% worth getting!
