Just an hour's drive north of Manhattan, the Captain's Table offers live band music on weekends, and a satisfying dining experience 7 days a week.

"Several years ago we installed a 1/3-acre sand beach adjacent to the Afterdeck. Our original plan was for volleyball tournaments, but our guests' children ended up claiming it for their own! You just wouldn't believe how much fun those kids have playing safely on the beach, with their parents just a few feet away, relaxing at their 'beachside' tables!"
On weekends the front parking lot at the Captain's Table glitters with the shiny chrome of dozens of Harley Davidsons. (No gangstas here... these riders are mainly local professionals and business folks showing off their hardware!)
