    We visit every year on our anniversary. We even chose to get married ON our anniversary two years later at captain bills. We still celebrate every year with the captain bills family. They always celebrate us with a glass of champagne on the house and an amazing dining experience. We will continue to celebrate with them for years to come. Our server JC was very attentive and ensured our meal was perfect.
