Cap's Place

Cap's Place Restaurant Review

Not a board's been changed in this island beach shack since it was opened as a speakeasy and gambling casino in 1920. Later, historic visitors included Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy. Cap's boat takes diners from the mainland to its own island in the Intracoastal Waterway. The menu features fresh local seafood, including pompano, dolphin, stone crabs and lobsters....

We took the boat ride over to the island and were about 30 minutes early for dinner, so we went to the bar for some adult beverages. The bartender has been there since the late 50's and told us the history of Caps Place.
Went in for dinner and it was superb. We had the claims casino, scallops wrapped in...

This place is very neat. Old, with looks of history. Drinks and apps in the bar are a must. Feels like you've stepped back in time. Rustic and just unique. Ya feel like a pirate. The scallops and fish dip apps were excellent. We did have to wait a bit, but it was okay with us, about 45 minutes. For...

There's not really much more to say. Went there on a Sunday night the service was extremely slow the food had been in the warmer for quite some time the entrees were dried and overdone. How can you be out of your signature salad hearts of palm? Hands down the worst restaurant I have been to in South Florida.

The food was good except that they were in short supply of a number of menu items. Service was average, not up to the our standards. We had indicated...

Most of our gang took the shuttle boat over but I will tell you that parking there is very limited. (Do not tell anyone, but you can get there by cab down 36th St. in Lighthouse Point) (There is no parking at the restaurant at all. Boat or drop off that is your choices.
First you must know Cap's is...

Cap's is tricky to find, although absolutely everyone knows where it is. On a small island in the middle of the Intracoastal Waterway, it is rustic beyond rustic, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves what may be the only fresh hearts of palm, a radically different delicacy than those canned things you might have had-in all of Florida. To go with those: home-baked bread,...
