"Food isn’t the reason you’re coming to this Lighthouse Point seafood restaurant—history is. Cap’s Place is nearly 100 years old, and it feels that way. To get here, you have to take a 90-second boat ride from a nearby marina. Once dropped off at the dock, you can head right to the dining room for a cold glass full of bourbon (which they refer to as a “Manhattan”), or spend some time at the bar, a separate wooden shack that would probably look very familiar to a time traveler from 1929. Get something fried, or just fill the table up with nothing but crab cakes, the only thing on the menu we’d swim back for. But more than anything, Cap’s is a place to sit back and feel grateful that the spirit of old South Florida hasn’t been completely paved over." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
