Captain’s Balcony at Crow’s Nest is a hidden gem. From the moment you step into the narrow, moodily lit space, you’re transported to an intimate, almost secretive dining haven. The ambiance is sultry and sophisticated, with dim lighting that adds a touch of mystery, while the jaw dropping floor to ceiling bar steals the show. The Captain’s Tasting Menu is an absolute steal at $79 and even cheaper if you book through First Table deal (50% off—yes, you read that right!). This culinary journey includes a expertly crafted cocktail and six inventive tasting dishes that showcase the kitchen’s creativity and skill. Standouts? The mushroom tartare was a revelation—earthy, umami-rich, and perfectly balanced with crispy textures. The hibachi grilled steak melted in the mouth, charred to smoky perfection, while the Earl Grey tea custard was a dreamy finale, blending floral notes with velvety sweetness. Every dish arrived like a work of art, plated with precision and flair. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, guiding us through the courses with warmth. If you’re seeking a memorable night of inventive cuisine, stellar cocktails, and ambiance that oozes charm, Captain’s Balcony is your port of call.

Nice quiet intimate setting with mood lighting. Friendly and prompt service. The nicely presented food tastes amazing and is a good accompaniment to the drinks. They have good range of quality made cocktails that will leave you wanting more. This would be a good place to bring a date to. Would recommend: Salt and pepper squid with squid ink mayonnaise, Hokkaido scallop crudo, and/ or the Crispy slow cooked pork belly, Szechuan caramel, coriander, pickled chili and black sesame. You won’t be disappointed!

Unique little spot in Crowsnest. Finally had the chance to drop by as we usually just passed by it. We booked through “First Table” and got 50% off through the app so it was a steal! (terms and conditions included ofcourse). We tried the tasting menu and everything was enjoyable. Overall, great tasting dishes and awesome cocktails. Nice place to have happy hour too.

What a great place! Huge drink selection if you into it. $79 tasting menu is a perfect choice and it even includes a cocktail. Will definitely go back there again, loving it!

Wow love what they have done with the place. I loved the previous restaurant and they have really jazzed up the decor. I have been to their king st venue a number of times over the years and this place feels very different. The vibe is great and the staff are very friendly and efficient. The Isabella cocktail was a hit, but the Harajuku cocktail was a little weak, their smoked negroni was one of the best I have ever had. I generally don't like raw scallops, but I found I enjoyed the scallops the most. The buratta and it's accompaniments paired well with the bread and was very refreshing and enjoyable with the cocktails. The Wagyu rump cap was bursting with flavour and is served rare, I generally don't like rare, but thoroughly enjoyed this rare steak. The fries were like a super adult version of MacDonald's fries (which were delish!). Would happily go back.
