I have eaten at Cap's several times over the past year and it is excellent. You want to make sure to get there early (5-6 pm) or you will probably have a long wait, given how popular this restaurant is. The Florida gumbo is especially good, as are the appetizers and the Chimmichura Tuna. I would not get the Vanilla Grouper again-it sounds good on the menu but just isn't. Everything else has been great. There are 2 outdoor bars (one at either end) and the drinks are superb. I would fight a wild animal for their margaritas and mojitos. The servers at the bar (and the restaurant portion) are very good and we have always gotten superior service. These people work their butts off to be accommodating and get you what you need. Cap's has a laid-back, fun atmosphere. It is exactly what you picture when you think of Florida. You can't go wrong with it. I really like the prominent outdoor seating also. Cap's has the best view of any restaurant that I have eaten at in this part of Florida. The sunsets over the water are spectacular. The best part is that if you don't have a table by the edge of the water, you will still get an awesome view, especially if you go out on the boat dock. You could come here just for the view (but great food, drinks, and atmosphere sure don't hurt). Go there-you will not be disappointed. Every time we have company in town, we take them to Cap's and every single person has loved it.
Pros: food, drinks, service, and view
Cons: parking can get tight

I would rather eat airplane food! I work for the airllines and the food we serve is more satisfying and tasteful than what was served to me. The bar service and drinks were great, but it should be considering they told us that there would be a 45 minute wait and it took two hours and fifteen minutes to get a table. Luckily the bar service was good otherwise we would have left. When we got our table the waitress was beyond rude. Lauren P was her name, so beware if you read this and still decide to go. My meal came out overcooked and when I told her of this, she stated that I should have informed her which I would have if it wouldn't have taken her 20 minutes to check back on us, BUT even that would have not cause me to give a bad review. The topper was her deciding to YELL at us when we were leaving to HAVE A GOOD NIGH!! while her and the staff were all together folding silver ware and lauging. OBVIOULSY at this point we grabbed managment considering that we dropped well over $100.00 and he did nothing! He said he would talk to her and that was it, did not try to comp any of our food or give us gift cards! I travel all over the world and eat at several differnet restaruants and I can honestly say that I have never had such terrible service and food that seemed like it came out of a box and thrown in the microwave!
Pros: NONE
