The Bubble Room'sdecor is unlike anything you have experienced - unless you normally dine where Christmas, nostalgia, antique shops, and Hollywood are all rolled into one.  
This fascinating American-cuisine restaurant is composed of eye-catching memorabilia from the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. Toy trains, twinkling colored lights, and more than 2,000 movie stills and glossies of stage and screen legends greet customers curious to see Captiva's famed restaurant.  
Servers are aptly titled "Bubble Scouts," and sport zany hats and khaki uniforms covered in crazy buttons. These dutiful scouts serve large tropical drinks, local seafood, and choice cuts of prime rib, pork, and poultry.  
The generous portions include a crispy salad, garden vegetables, and a basket of incredible Bubble Bread and sticky buns. The Bubble Room is nationally famous for its award winning dessert bakery, try one of their "sweet 16" favorites.  
Outside, the colorful decor of the three-story Bubble Room building makes you smile even before you enter. Once inside, you'll find a 7-foot Mickey Mouse from a 1930 Disney float and an old "Santa's Workshop" from a Macy's department store window.

"Kitchy Kid Fun"

The Bubble room is an overdecorated, high priced piece of Kitch. However, if you know what you are in for you can have a great time with your kids. Everything here is bubbles; decor, menu items and lighting. Additionally it is Christmas all year long. The tables are shadow boxes filled with memorabilia and the walls are lined with more of the same. There is an antique storefront window display feauring Santa and his elves that kids cannot take their eye off. Also, outdoor there is a jail cell for photo ops and a love tunnel for the same. If you do not get enough 'bubbles' while you eat there is a retail outlet at the other end of the parking lot. The kids menu is rather extensive but expensive. The same goes for the adults. The food portions are normal sized, but the Bubble bread and cinnamon bread really fill you up. Desert is a meal in itself and presented table side is difficult to say no to. Most deserts are large SLABS of award winning cakes, but they were able to provide my one daughter with a simple sundae. The kids menu has activities and a scavenger hunt, but there is so much to look at the time passes quickly.

"Best Place Ever!"

I traveled with my mother in law and sister in law two hours just to reach this restaurant! They are the only place currently that you can get the most amazing cake slices for dessert! The food is unbelievable, especially the cakes. It melts in your mouth. The portions are definitely friendly and leave enough to take home left overs! The inside is filled with tons of the bubble lights, and it's just a great atmosphere to have a wonderful meal. The train that runs is pretty neat too! Outside in a self standing building they have a gift shop and it's filled with the neatest trinkets too! If you are near Captiva at all please stop by!
