Voice-Tribune review by Robin Garr
Ahh, Captain's Quarters! From its striking ski-lodge-style wood and glass building to the decks that ramble over its scenic riverfront slope just up the Ohio at Harrods Creek, within skyline's view of downtown Louisville, what's not to like?"CQ" would be wildly popular, I believe, for its ambience and view alone, particularly in sultry summer time, even if its facilities were far more spartan and its food service limited to snacks, burgers and fried fish. (Indeed, this pretty much describes the CQ that many local folks – older ones, anyway – remember from as far back as the '70s.)
For many years, though, and in recent years owned by members of the Masterson family, Captain's Quarters scores not only for its amiable setting and river view but as a decent destination for fine food and drink in its own right. No doubt that is why its oversize parking lot is almost always packed, and it's rare to find the house much less than full.
I particularly recommend spending a lazy, hazy day of summer out here – doubly so now that our city parents have wisely decided to allow the sale of adult beverages with brunch as early as 10 a.m. – but I have to warn you that Sundays at CQ confront the eager diner with an almost intractable dilemma:
Do we order from the menu, or do we hit the brunch tables?
