    Cap's Place was a speakeasy and a gambling casino in the Roaring 20's located on an island that was at the time, a part of the Florida bush. Frequented by the "Rich & Famous" (and most often the "infamous"), it's Broward County's oldest restaurant having...More

    Cap’s Place is THE place to be!

    It is certainly different. From the short boat ride, to the seriously quaint old bar, to the warm welcome in the restaurant, it all lived up expectations. Ambiance and great food sat with amazing new friends from Ohio, we had a fabulous time.
