With a bit of Old Florida charm, this waterfront restaurant offers a memorable dining experience for visitors looking to enjoy lunch, dinner, or a drink while watching the sunset over the water.

Guests can choose to dine on the covered outdoor deck, inside the dining room with large glass-paned windows, or at the oyster bar—ideal for a quick bite or a cocktail while waiting for a table.

What’s on the Menu

The menu at Cap’s on the Water features coastal cuisine with a creative southern touch. Starters include she crab soup, raw oysters on the half shell, and a cheese board with fig bread.

Know Before You Go

Cap’s offers complimentary valet parking to maximize space in the lot during peak hours. The restaurant does not take reservations and limits party size to six guests. Trained service animals are welcome, but pets are not allowed on the deck or in the dining area.

Due to its location and popularity, Cap’s tends to fill up quickly—especially at sunset—so it’s best to arrive early or be prepared to wait with a drink in hand at the oyster bar or on the pier.
