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.
