Dear Jim
Thank you very much for the great meal you made for Hannah and I me on Friday night. Everything was
terrific, and we just managed the super puddings at the end! Next time we are visiting I'll email for a
reservation, and look forward to another fantastic feast.

We visited on Sat for our 1st Wedding Anniversary...and what a treat it was! Mary and Jim were amazing
hosts, we couldn't find fault at all. We had the taster menu with afew extras thrown in....so a total of
15 different fish! It was simply outstanding. The food, the atmosphere and the friendless will bring us back
in a flash! Thanks so much Mary & Jim for a wonderful evening.

Dear Jim and Mary -

We had a meal with you on August 17th, and we just wanted to say again how very, very
much we enjoyed the food, the setting and the service. This was our second visit to you and, as we're
based in Birmingham, we can hardly drop in on a whim, but I hope very much we'll be back next year.


Thanks for a wonderful evening!

All the very best to you, and your restaurant.

John and Liz

Hi jim & mary,
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening on Saturday 1st October. The food, wine and
atmosphere was brilliant. You really made us all feel welcome and went beyond the call of duty keeping
Harrison entertained.
Chelsey had a fab 21st.
Can you also thank the rest of your staff they were lovely.

Thanks again, we will definitely recommend you to everyone.

Dear Jim and Mary,

Thanks again for a great, and to be honest unexpected, meal (we've had mixed luck
with dining on this trip). Great food (the hake was a standout, but then so were the mussels, and actually
everything was good), very warm and attentive service and a lovely space. Just pity you couldn't be
further away from where we live (although at least on the same island). We'll definitely return, and
expect world beating oysters and crab next time. In the meantime, best of luck and thanks again, Marc and
Phill

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful welcome and an amazing meal at the Galley a few weeks ago. It was a
great experience with Mary being the hostess with the mostess and very helpful and professional staff in
attendance. A most delightful evening with great food (thank you Jim) and wonderful service. Many, many
thanks! Ann and Fiona.

P.S. It was also lovely to meet your beautiful dogs Mary, and Ben (spaniel) says
hello too! Ann

Well what can we say...David planned this as a surprise for me and I was not disappointed at all. From the
moment that we walked in we were made feel welcome by Mary and the young lady that served us. Drinks order
taken and a amazing menu presented to us.
I have never tasted such amazing fish. Every mouthful that we
tasted was wonderful. Thank you for such a fantastic time and we both hope that your son's wedding in
Thailand is a wonderful event.
Love David and Gemma xxx

During a recent visit home to celebrate my father’s birthday, we dined at the Captains Galley. A great
evening out, a very warm welcoming and attentive staff, great service, fantastic food, good interaction
between guests and staff. Next time you'll have to throw us out (after midnight).
Highly recommend a visit to
enjoy this historically unique restaurant, a fantastic ambience and enjoy high quality sea food.

Best

I would really like to say a HUGE thank you for an excellent meal!! We came just before Christmas as the
restaurant had been recommended to us...and we are so glad that we came. The food was amazing and the
hospitality was fantastic. We really appreciated the 'wee dram' after the meal too! ;-)

Thanks
for a lovely time best wishes to you all for 2010.

Hi Mary

Thanks again for making our special night 'extra special'. Helen is still raving on
about it all. We will be back at Christmas so we will see you then. Tell Jim we expect to see more of the same
and to get a lot more Lobsters at the ready. Should be about the 10th Dec but we will let you know in good
time. We are taking two friends up this time so a table for 4 will be required. Thanks again - we just
couldn't have spent our anniversary in a better place, it was so romantic!

We first visited in 2006 and we are going back in 2008. Only our distance from Scrabster prevents more
regular attendance.

Absolutely awesome experience and, for once, Ali was lost for words. That, my friends,
is a rarity. The awards speak for themselves but barely give a hint of what's in store when you are lucky
enough to dine in the Captain's Galley.

We wish Jim and Mary all the very best for many years to
come.
