Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant
Oct 6, 2009 by Borg3 from Toronto
Overall Rating: 1

• Food didn't kill me.
• Poor service, bad food, ugly atmosphere, expensive.

“I live in Toronto and can tell you that locals know enough not to eat at Captain John's. The place stays afloat by serving tasteless meals to bus loads of out of town tourists. Also there are no other restaurants in this area so nearby hotel guests often make the mistake of eating here. Maybe Capt. John's was good in the 80's but this place is bad today. Food is on par to that served at my grandma's old age home overcooked veg, frozen fish and uninspired cooking. Give this floating disaster a wide berth.”

Canadian National Exhibition (CNE)

Overall Rating: 10

• Something for everyone. The horse building.
• Food is pricey, but there is lots to choose from.

“It is a great value for your money. There is something for everyone young or a little older. There are free shows. It does not have to cost a lot its up to you. We always have a great time every year.”

Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant

• Uniquely memorable and enjoyable dining experience.
• Poor reviews almost talked me out of going.

“I've always been intrigued by the floating restaurant at the foot of Yonge Street in Toronto and finally had an occasion to go there, my wife took me for my birthday dinner. We arrived without a reservation and dressed casually, and were seated immediately by our courteous waiter. Captain John greeted us at our table and took us for a tour of the old luxury cruise liner as we waited for our meal. In addition to the beautiful main dining room, there are also two private banquet halls. The larger Dubrovnik Room is very classy and perfect for a wedding or other reception of 200 people, the smaller Captains Quarters is more informal but still very classy for a get together of under 100 guests. Throughout the ship are old fashioned nautical items and some beautiful wood inlaid murals from Yugoslavia. This restaurant doubles as a museum for those with interests in this areas.The meal was excellent, 2 whole lobsters, half a dozen crab legs, oysters, mussels, fish fillets - more than a dinner for two it could have fed four nicely! It was very good. The dessert tray was too tempting to refuse and we had black forest cake with a rich coffee. Capt. John visited our table again to offer us refills. All in all it was a very enjoyable and memorable dining experience. I'm not sure why it has received anything less than glowing reviews. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special occasion dining experience, tourists and Torontonians alike. This is a true historic Toronto landmark that deserves your business. Good meals come and go but it's rare to find a restaurant that will leave you with such a lasting memory. Treat yourself.”

• Loved the atmosphere, the restaurants and the proximity.
• Not easy to get to by bus.

“Great place to hang out, have a beer and just look at the various galleries.”
