I'm vacationing with a friend from college and she had read about Cap's Place on the internet (Obviously, not tripadvisor!) She wanted to go and I didn't do my homework researching the place. Yes, there's a boat ride - it lasts only a couple of minutes, our boat captain said NOTHING the entire trip back and forth, and kept his... more

While the boat ride over was pleasant, as your out waitress, sadly, Cap's Place disappoints. I'd been there about ten years ago, and thought it was fun. But... the boat captain was indeed surly... and the food wasn't so great. It's really too bad, because you WANT to like this place. It's got all the potential to be a great... more

You take a water taxi that's waiting for you in the parking lot. Yep trust the GPS, you just see a parking lot in a residental neighborhood. Fish is as fresh as I've ever had. The palm salad is a specialty, if your not into mayo based dressing you may want to pass but it is good. The crab cake,... more

I found Cap’s Place after searching for restaurants on the Intercoastal in South Florida. After reading numerous positive reviews and looking at their website, I excitedly made a reservation for that evening. A restaurant on the water that you can only get to by boat? How cool is that, right? Finding the marina was a little tricky but parking was... more

You take their launch to get to the restruant. Crab cakes are possibly the best anywhere. Heart of palm salad is a must try. more

I ventured to Cap's Place with bated breath as the last time I had eaten there was in the early sixties. I had fond memories of the place but through a child's eyes. The nightmare started with calling Cap's and being informed that we absolutely needed a reservation. We were a bit shocked when we arrived at Cap's and almost... more

I was here a couple of times long ago, and all I remember is that I loved it. Then I read some poor reviews here, so I was a little anxious this time. No need. It's as good as I remember. Rustic shanty buildings, one the bar, the other the restaurant. The food -- superb! My two companions agreed --... more

Fresh Fish is the only way I like it...3/18/08 For my husband's birthday we decided to try Cap's even though I am not a seafood fan. The boat ride is a short endevour to the island. The boardwalk leads to the bar and restaurant. It is an old Florida building, offering a rustic romantic feeling. The hostess was attentive and... more

A good example of old Florida. Family operated restaurant with well prepared seafood and an interesting place to eat. The short boat ride to the island from the marina adds to the experience. The food prices seemed a little high. more

After a recent visit on July 28th 2007, I have found what I believe is the worst resturant I have ever been to. It certainly does have a lot of history behind it, but I believe the original owner would be turning in his grave if he knew what the place was like today. Horribly overpriced for what it is.... more
