Despite all the snacking during Food & Wine, sometimes you just need a real meal. We kicked off one of our days with breakfast at Captain’s Grille at the Yacht Club. It was my first time dining here, and Matt’s first visit for breakfast.
The restaurant offers a buffet and a fairly basic breakfast menu, with a few not-so-standard choices as well.
I thought the Lobster Omelet sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try.
The omelet appears rather unassuming, with a piece of lobster claw meat topping it. This piece ended up being the driest piece of lobster I’ve ever had in my life.
The filling, on the other hand, was filled with tender lobster meat and chopped asparagus. I was surprised by how much was tucked away inside.
A chive-infused cream was served alongside the omelet, and added a nice flavor and texture to the egg.
The roasted potatoes that came with the dish weren’t anything special, but were well cooked.
A salad of mixed greens was a bit heavily dressed for my taste, but I still enjoyed them and appreciated the peppery bite they added.
Matt wasn’t too hungry, so he ordered a side of bacon and a side of sausage. He was very disappointed by the three pieces of paper thin, flimsy bacon served.
The sausage, on the other hand, was more to his liking and a heartier value.
Breakfast at Captain’s Grille was enjoyable, but in the future we’d likely opt for The Wave at the Contemporary. Since we were staying at Yacht Club, we visited more out of convenience. I’d still like to revisit the restaurant at lunch and dinner, though.
Have you dined at Captain’s Grille for breakfast? Which items do you recommend?
That omelet looks amazing!
*Glances sadly at her yogurt and toast breakfast.
We’re actually trying Captain’s Grille for the first time in a few weeks. We’re going for dinner, though. It would be difficult for me to book a breakfast there with Kouzzina right around the corner.
Since one of my best friends’ pass expires on the 27th, we’re thinking of doing a late breakfast before she hits the road. I know you like the Wave Sarah (I’m trying to talk her into it LOL), but if not, do you think this is better than Kouzzina’s? We’ve hit K for dinner last year and wasn’t very impressed but I’ve heard breakfast is better (although the service can be a bit slow).
Melissa – You and Kouzzina!
Cherry – Having experienced Kouzzina only at breakfast, I would recommend it if you can’t make it to The Wave!
I’m definitely trying my best to convince her but even if I don’t, I’ve got reservations for myself to have breakfast at both The Wave and Kouzzina later in the week. I just hope I have enough stamina and don’t end up canceling a lot of my reservations because I’m too tired.

Another vote for Kouzzina breakfast if you’re staying in that area. BEST on property!
We went to Kouzzina for breakfast yesterday for the second time. Stay tuned for a review!
