Great experience! Loved the beautiful views and service was excellent. Had some cocktails while we were waiting (wait was not that long on a Saturday surprisingly!) & they had a server specifically for the waiting area, which was nice. Ordered the garlic oysters & tuna tartare- both really good. Favorite was the espresso martini. Expensive but Worth it!

Prime location for a restaurant! Mostly outdoor seating with a gorgeous view. Valet parking only. The patio is mostly covered and helps a lot with the direct sun. There is a small dock for boats too. My daughter had a lot of fun playing on the shore collecting shells and climbing a little tree tower made with drift wood. They only offer lunch on the weekends. They food and service is great. They do a wonderful job accommodating to dietary needs and wants. Always a great time coming here.

We had a fantastic experience at Cap's. It offers fine dining in a beautiful, yet casual setting. The views of the intracoastal are amazing, especially at sunset. One really important thing to note: they don't take reservations and the wait can be pretty long at peak times. Thankfully, we got in at 9:05pm (it closes at 10pm) and the 2 of us had no trouble getting seated right away. Another helpful reminder is that they offer (free!) valet parking so carrying a little cash for tip would be a good idea. Now on to the food service! I tend to prefer servers who are more direct about their recommendations, especially at this higher price point, but she was friendly and helpful. I ordered the sesame seared tuna and it was amazing! I'm so glad I veered away from my typical blackened catch option. The tuna is served rare, so keep that in mind. The pickled cucumbers and plantains (maduros) gave the perfect balance. I switched the spinach out for the carrots, which had good flavor but some were undercooked. The fries we shared were also delicious. My husband ordered a special (5/2024) almond crusted lemon mahi which he didn't love, unfortunately.

The view at this restaurant is absolutely priceless and for that alone it's worth a visit. We got there before sunset and took pics out on the dock. I went with a group of friends last weekend and I had the Rockefeller oysters and the garlic shrimp. The oysters were amazing. Garlic shrimp needed more seasoning. My friends all seemed to enjoy their food and the service was great!

TALK ABOUT A GORGEOUS LOCATION! Everything here was laid out so perfectly from start to finish. When you drive up to the location, the estimated wait time is displayed outside the parking lot so you are aware of the wait time before you park. There is free valet parking. The wait was estimated to be 120 minutes (we came on Mother's Day, so I get it). There is a beautiful dock area with a few servers that is specifically to enjoy cocktails and appetizers while you wait for your table. Our wait was actually 75 minutes for waterfront seating so that was a nice surprise. Our server was the nicest :) he explained the menu very well and gave some great recommendations. I'm going to be honest, I saw a menu picture on Yelp from a few months ago detailing that there were Dungeness crab legs but they didn't have that this time around. So I guess they must have recently changed their menu. I snapped some pictures of the menu for my fellow Yelpers to not be misled like I was. ALAS, the lack of crab legs did not ruin my mood because this place was just THAT great. We ordered a she crab soup (SO GOOD), the Oysters Rockefeller, grilled octopus, and we split a sesame seared tuna (MP was $42). We got a little rum cake and molten lava cake to take home for dessert as we were stuffed. Those were divine! I would definitely come back here and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a fancy date night :)

This place has it all from complementary valet parking to a perfect location on the water! The service is friendly and welcoming. The drink menu has a lot of variety. The seafood is spectacular and deliciously prepared. The venue is perfect and has an inviting ambiance. I can't say enough positive things about this place (only that I wish they would take dinner reservations). Really enjoyable!

My boyfriend and I stopped by on Saturday night - naturally the place was packed! The way they organized the parking (complimentary valet) was impressive! They had a guy directing traffic, a girl with an iPad taking down your name and party size, and then when you checked in with the hostess, they were able to tell you the wait time. This is a large restaurant with indoor seating, outdoor seating, a bar and a beautiful dock. What is super cool is - you can just go to the dock and order drinks/appetizers directly from a server there. We ended up doing that, since the wait for an outdoor table was 90 min, and we did not want to miss the sunset. Wish more places offered this option!

More than 4, less than 5. 4.5? My friend and I came to celebrate our birthdays. Valet is nice and they are quick! I didn't like that the smoking was next to the valet so while we waited I had to smell smoke. We wanted to sit by the water but it was a much longer wait so we sat inside where the seats were heavily used lol I mean sink in so low you almost can't touch your feet used. Not sure if they were going for that, but it was mildly uncomfortable lol. Our waitress was adorable I loved her she has great energy. We started with the sampler platter- 5/5! The salmon was fantastic with the relish- I loved it. The pear ravioli was amazing, glad we didn't have to share it with our dates. The beet salad is their seasonal salad right now and it is 5/5. I could eat it everyday. Hubs didn't like the amount of potatoes he got with his steak- he was very disappointed in the portion size (being small) 4/5. He also didn't like the tomato situation. Everyone overall enjoyed their food. The deserts were pretty good. I got the lava cake which was slightly dry. This is a solid restaurant with great views but I felt like the price didn't fit. I would come here again for the salad for sure!

A fan favorite...caps on the water! I will say, expect a wait if you're coming for prime time dinner. You do have to valet your car which is a little annoying. Of course it is complimentary with a not-so complimentary tip. Anyways, the food is consistently good. It's always very fresh, and is typically pretty quick once you do sit down. Some notable favorites are the fish and chips, truffle fries, shrimp and scallop sauté, blackened fresh catch, and vanilla grouper. Ultimately we do come for the ambiance. Right on the water, indoor/outdoor options, tables are shaded, tropical inspired cocktails. It's a vacation right in our backyard! TLDR: delicious food, great ambiance, expect to wait a while
