One of my favorite restaurants in Florida is Cap's Place, located in Lighthouse Point, Florida, just north of Pompano Beach. It was originally a speakeasy and casino back in the 1920s, and is now an historical site in addition to a restaurant. It is located on an island in the intracoastal waterway, and so to get there, you need to take a boat from the restaurant's dock. Dining there is quite the fun experience. I took the photograph above of my sister Susan and mother Mary back in 1994 as we were headed in for dinner. If you happen to be in the South Florida area, I definitely recommend it. I first read about the place in a Florida guidebook, which quotes a chatty bartender saying that Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe have all dined there, although not at the same time. It is definitely on my list of places to visit the next time I am in Florida.
