BUBBLE ROOM
"It`s always Christmas at the Bubble Room." The Bubble Room was born in 1979 on its present site on Captiva Island. It was one of the first on the island to introduce the bright and cheerful pastel colors now widely used on the island. 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. Each room has a different theme such as the Elf Room and there are toy trains chugging around on all three floors. The restaurant still has several original menu items offered by the original owners, including Socra cheese, Bubble Bread, Carolina Moons, Tarzan, Eddie Fisherman, and many deliciously oversized desserts. Check out their full menu today on their website.
