The Captain’s Quarters is a private room with floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Dockside Patio and Alexandria Waterfront. The room is set with one large farmhouse style table and 4 smaller tables that can be pushed together, and are matched with reclaimed and restored chairs. The white painted cedar-wrapped walls provide a perfect backdrop to the nautical art displayed and contrasts beautifully with the dark chocolate wood flooring. With plenty of natural light beaming into the room and strands of Edison lights that criss-cross the tables, the room brings to mind images of a garden patio party complete with fresh flowers accenting every table.
