If you are visiting the Fort Myers area this is a great place to visit for a fun meal and the best cake you will find, unless you are great at making cakes from scratch. My advice is to get one slice of Red Velvet, one of Orange Crunch and one of the Chocolate and enjoy. I still could not tell you which is my favorite.

The staff is also great and make your dining experience alot of fun. The wait staff dress like scouts. Portions are generous. This is a family friendly restaurant and a drive out to Captiva is a great adventure if you are visiting other parts of Lee County. For locals like myself, it is where the best beaches are located and where I have to drive to when I want some good home made cake and I do not want to bake it myself.

If anyone actually makes it to the Bubble Room and loves the Red Velvet cake, you can contact me for the receipe. The owners of the Bubble Room are such nice and generous people that they were kind enough to share it with the Junior League of Fort Myers for their cookbook.

Three of us decided that we would like to try out the Bubble Room for dinner during our late October stay on Sanibel. We got there at opening for dinner and were seated right away. As soon as we entered the place, we noticed the smell that others have been complaining about. I thought it smelled like bad fish at first, but the whole place smelled like it and it wasn't appetizing.

After sitting down and taking a quick look around, we dove into the menu. Everything was overpriced and not good for any picky eaters. It does not really matter if you get a large portion of food if the food isn't any good. We decided that, if all the Bubble Room was good for was some funky atmosphere, it wasn't for us. We got some disgusted looks from the "scouts" as we walked out the door. We were not alone, though, as we saw 2 other parties leaving at the very same time.

We decided to stop in at Cheeburger Cheeburger and had a great burger for well under half the cost.

If you want a museum, go to a museum. If you want to see "junk" all around you while you eat in a funky odor-filled atmosphere, then the Bubble Room is for you.

We will not be back here.

I can't honestly say our experience was terrible since we were turned off before we even entered. Reviewers and friends told us the food was not great but the desserts were fantastic. On a Tuesday evening around 8:15 p.m. we rode over there to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. There were hardly any diners there and no one was waiting for a table. However, we were told that unless we were ordering an entree there would be a $7.50 per person seating charge. Since we were a party of four we opted to go elsewhere for an ice cream cone! I can't understand why a restaurant with mediocre reviews in the off season would institute such a policy.

sorry, but we can't understand the bad reviews. we stayed for the first time in florida and we read about the bubble room in our german travel guide. it was even better than we expected. my girlfriend had duck with rice and fruits, i had fish (sorry, i can't remember the name of it) with black beans and rice - cajun style. (see the pictures) it was delicious. unfortunately it was so much, we weren't able to order a desert.
the staff was very friendly and quick.
we will be back there, next time we stay in florida.
