Hate to burst your bubble but this place is not what it is cracked up to be! Yes, the décor is funky and fun but it doesn’t make up for the unfriendly staff or the poor quality of food. Two of the ladies in our group complained to the waiter about the over abundance of shredded lettuce and lack of... More

Arrived in Captiva on Tuesday and first dinner stop was The Bubble Room. The hostess was not very friendly and hardly spoke a word to us. Once seated we asked to be moved as the hostess seated us in a little corner next to two other tables. Mind you it was not crowded and plenty of open seating was available.... More

We passed by so many interesting resturants but decided to go with one my friends had visited 20 years before. I found it to be cute with old toys that seemed to have no theme. Just grandma's attic with alot of clutter. Waited a while to be given menu's and for someone to take our order. There didn't seem to... More

The Bubble Room has the best breads and desserts of just about anyplace on the island. The bubble bread is wonderful with several kinds of cheeses on it, and you are also treated to cinnamon rolls as well with every dinner. There is a wonderful entrée called "The Tiny Bubble" that includes both breads, an appeteaser (we had the French... More

I have been dining at the Bubble Room for about 30 years. It is a quaint, fun place to go if you want good food, unique decor and good service. The restaurant was actually the home of the original owners and has expanded over the years. It is filled with collectibles including toys, props jukeboxes and other curiosities. The servers... More

We have visited several times over the last en years. The food is good and the deserts spectacular. The decorations are reminiscent of many long gone toys, photos and artifacts and I personally love the running trains around the circumference of several of the rooms. Service tends to be a bit slow which does afford the time to look around.... More

Service was poor with little interest. Food standard was equally poor. Clearly living on the memorabilia and unique decor of the restaurant. Worth viewing ... not worth eating there.

Had been there before. Asked for a "nice booth", but were seated next to the kitchen/server area. Ordered a cherry coke- too much grenadine. Not expensive however. For entrees we ordered the three stooges moe(chicken) and the Bones Bones( T-Bone). Food was great, but the service was sub par. Our waiter seemed smug and nonchalant. The bus boy was always... More

WE were not seeking fine dining when we went to the Bubble Room. We'd heard it was kitschy-cool and it was, with every square inch covered in retro ephemera. The burgers were supposed to be good and they were great, as well as the massive dessert. Our server was attentive and fun, and we had a great time. It's a... More

We had a group of 3 and had already eaten elsewhere. We decided to drop in for drinks and appetizers for the experience. Glad we ate elsewhere first. The drinks were not good and the food is not good. The flaming cheese appetizer advertised it was served with homemade bread. The bread was cheap diner Italian bread and they should... More
