Tom EldonFebruary 2, 2013Seriously, outside of Bern's in Tampa. this is the best wine list in the state. Excellent wines, rare allocations, all reasonably priced. They have many wines I would happily pay retail if I could.Upvoted Feb 25
SusanDecember 28, 2013Absolutely loved our meals! Wish we lived here - would dine here frequently!!! Had this for lunch: Shrimp Vilano, Peel n eat Shrimp, Stilton Salad, cornbread, She Crab Soup, and Seared Tuna Tacos.
Jessica MorganFebruary 13, 2023Smoked Shrimp risotto and chicken gnocchi had amazing flavors. The atmosphere of the entire place was intimate and the sunset made its grand appearance! Our waitress Cassidy was pleasant.
Daniella DavisJune 12, 2016Sunsets are awesome, oysters Rockefeller was amazing. Seafood and shrimp were very fresh.
- As always, food was fantastic. Started with calamari Vilano and she crab soup. Southwestern grouper was perfection. Grouper manchego always hits the spot. It doesn't hurt that Jose is adorable.
- Another great night for dinner at Caps. Started with Vilano calamari and she crab soup. Grouper manchego consistently excellent. Blackened trigger also very good. Jose was very friendly and attentive.
Lane KutsorSeptember 14, 2015Beautiful scenic views on the deck. Blackened mahi was good and the fried calamari tacos were awesome! Huge lunch portions.
Everard LordMay 15, 2021Blackened grouper, plantains, black beans, lemon wedges and that delightful red stuff on top of the fish. Deliciousness!!
Cassie SchelldorfSeptember 9, 2012Make sure your whole party is there when you go to get seated. They won't seat you until all of you are here. Head to the bar and enjoy a Mimosa or to the oyster bar outside while you wait!
Marty O.January 29, 2022Grouper, seared shrimp good picks. Bottle of vermentino (white). Garlic oysters app. They’ll do your cheesecake the way you want.

Stefany BealsJuly 28, 2013Ask to sit by the water. It's so beautiful. In July get there AT OPENING for not too hot weather! Quite nice.
Michael RoseFebruary 23, 2018First come, first serve seating behind the oyster bar — at sunset it's a better idea than waiting an hour for a table.
