CAP'S PLACE – Seafood
You reach Cap's Place by boat, on the restaurant's own motor launch, and that short crossing is the point. It sits on an island off Lighthouse Point, in pecky cypress rooms assembled from wooden shacks and an old barge floated up from Miami, and it started as a 1920s rum-running speakeasy and casino. Seafood has been the business for over ninety-five years. Hearts of palm salad is the signature. Fish changes with the catch: dolphin, wahoo, cobia, snapper, pompano, lobster, stone crab. Steaks, chops and chicken fill out the rest. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
