Good food, service was a little slow but very nice and friendly. The view is worth the slower service!!!!! Drinks from the upstairs bar are fantastic!! If the weather is nice get a table on the upstairs balcony overlooking the river and castle. Wonderful!! more

Our family ate here after a long day of sightseeing. While the food was just okay, the prices were reasonable. The staff was very nice. more

In August 2008 we visited the Capts Landing restaurant at Capt Thomson's Resort. We had a 30 minute wait to get in, which was fine since they appeared busy. We sat at the bar and had some drinks while looking at one of the best views in town (right across from Bodlt Castle). This was the last nice thing we... more

Lets face it this is one of the best dining views in the Bay. Over the years I've watched it bob from mediocre awful to mediocre better than cold cereal. The appeal of this restaraunt is the view. The food wil never be good, it is always edible. A rule of thumb I use when dining here pick things that... more

We ate here after doing an Uncle Sam Boat Tour. The prices and the food were okay. The nicest thing about the place is the view of the St. Lawrence River and Bolt Castle. Even after doing a boat tour I couldn't get enough of the scenery. Make sure you get a table next to the window. And the kids... more

We visited Alexandria Bay in late August, 2006, and decided to eat at Capt. Thomson's after viewing it from a boat tour. We enjoyed our meal very much, service was excellent and we had a window seat with a view of Boldt Castle. We decided to go back the next morning for breakfast and enjoyed their buffet. Would definitely eat... more

Just returned from a trip to Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands Region. It was our anniversary and all the advertising pointed us to Capt's Landing in the Captain Thomson's Resort, the only floating restaurant in the 1000 Islands. The ambience and the view from our table was breathtaking. Even the very slight swaying of the restaurant added a nice... more
