“Love the Bubble Bread!!!!!”

Bubble Room Restaurant

5 of 5 stars
Fort Myers, FL

2/3 found this review helpful

My family has been eating at The Bubble Room for years! Sometimes we go for special occasions, other times we go just for fun. My very favorite thing is the bubble bread. It is delicious and something unlike any other dinner bread you will receive anywhere else. I would say my children's favorite thing are the many HUGE, tasty desserts! They love the chocolate cake with slices as big as their heads! My husband and I love the orange crunch cake. It is wonderful! Besides very good food, the atmosphere is a children's wonderland. We always find something new every time we go. We would happily recommend The Bubble Room to anyone, anytime.

“Just Great”

Bubble Room Restaurant

2/3 found this review helpful

Just great is the only way to describe our visit to the Bubble room.
Funky and fun with great food. Slighlty expensive but not really if you avoid starters as the main course includes a full meal for most people.
Service was fast and efficient as well as real friendly and fun.
If you do have a starter try the Flaming socrates(shared).
Cant wait to go back next year

“Our Favorite Restaurant in Captiva”

Bubble Room Restaurant

The Bubble Room Restaurant on Captiva Island, Florida is still our favorite.
It has been several years since we visited Captiva and we were so very happy to see that the Bubble Room has continued to provide an experience unlike any other.
The restaurant from the outside makes you smile.
It looks like Santa's Cottage with bright pastel colors and a yellow brick road leading to the entrance.
Inside, every inch of the walls are covered with antique toys and there are electric trains which circle overhead.
Big band music can be heard in the background and cheerful servers called "Bubble Scouts" are there to welcome.
There is an entire room "Santa's Workshop" with Santa and his elves, which can be seen from an elevated overlook.
"Bubble Bread" is served before the meal begins and it is delicious.
The food is good and plentiful but the deserts are amazing.
Anyway, it is refreshing to see that the Bubble Room continues to be an oasis of happiness for almost 30 years and we hope that it never changes.

“different, but not horrible”

Bubble Room Restaurant

3 of 5 stars
North Georgia
Aug 19, 2008

The place could use a little bit of cleaning. The waitress was pretty nice. The food was decent. The home-made chips were very very good, and the orange-crunch cake and key lime pie were outstanding! My turkey-trot (turkey wrap) was just okay, a little pricey for just a sandwich that is a-la-carte! almost $8.00!! There is a room there that has this Wierd Christmas theme going on it, but I do like all (close to 3,000) pictures on the walls. At least they give you something to look at while you are waiting on your food.

“Musty, dirty, horrible place”

Rated #3 restuarant in Captiva??!! (when writing this) Well that really deosn't say much for other restaurants on Captiva.

We went to this restaurant because my 6 and 7 year old children wanted to.

The first problem is that the Hostesses aren't particuarly friendly or welcoming the second and main problem is the smell of the place. It really hits you as soon as you walk in..a horrible old musty smell. Both my children immediately asked what that awful smell was. We went to the bar whilst we waited for our table. A dark dingy place with no atmosphere where the "scouts" weren't particulary friendly.

We then sat down.. I tried to refrain from looking at the extremely dirty Santa Claus flying above the table but everywhere I looked was just dirty looking and we couldn't escape the musty smell. (Even the napkins smelt musty) Basically after our appetizers we decided to leave. The food wasn't particuarly nice and we weren't having a good time.

This really is one of the worst restaurants we have ever eaten in and would advise people to avoid it at all costs.
