Tal-Kaptan has always had a special in my memories, mainly because I used to go to eat at tal-Kaptan quite frequently when i was still a kid but moreover for the great quality I had grown accustomed to. Fast forward 7 years and you arrive to today were I got the chance to eat at the Tal-Kaptan retaurant at the Valletta waterfront.
Before I start I will give the main criteria I look out for when reviewing a restarant:
So without further ado, I present you: Tal-Kaptan
Tal-Kaptan is situated in the middle of the Valletta waterfront with tables available both on the outside (for those who like a the sea view) or inside. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with the interior resembling the inside of a ship. The walls are all panneled with wood while the floor is a nice cafelatte colour. The restaurant retained it's customary visible kitchen were one can admire the skill shown by the chefs present while preparing your plate. However enough about the decor and lets move to the seating, the food and the service..
The seating:
We were offered a choice of several tables of which I chose one at the furthest end of the restaurant. It's always interesting to see which restaurants are able to take care of all customers evenly and which simply forget about the extremities of their restaurant.
The seating was the first failing of this restaurant ( I wouldn't call it a disaster at this point but it can significantly reduce the pleasure of the overall experience.) The table we were seated at was wobbly and thus caused us a great deal of grief while cutting our food. Secondly and more importantly, the chairs available are some of the most uncomfortable ever. They are wooden with a short back that arrives only up to the small of the back. This is probably the worst type of seating especially if you try to stretch out your legs and resting your back while eating..I can assure you'd be in for quite a painful surprise.
The Food:
The food, to put it in simple words, was great. The crust of the pizza we ordered was light and crispy (some would say perfect) Ingredients were fresh and pleasant and overall made up to be a very pleasant meal.
The service:
Although not impeccable I daresay the service was good enough. Food was delivered in a normal time and even though waiters seemed a little unexperienced, we were taken good care of.
All in all a great meal in a great restaurant, Heartily recommended to everyone..

Before I start I will give the main criteria I look out for when reviewing a restarant:
- Food quality (Obviously!)
- Cleanliness (Mostly of the table, cuttlery and glasses but I like to take a look at the toilets and the restaurant in general ;)
- Service (This is an important, many restaurants fail to fall in my good books simply because of an ignorant waiter, because of disastrous handling of a complaint or overly long waiting times. )
- The X-factor (How fun was the place ? was the restaurant comfortable and warm ? etc)
