    01 March 2026 We are a gang of 5 who decided to storm the Bubble Room on Captiva Island , Florida. Yeah , the place was well fortified and defended by Pirates. But we prevailed. The Pirates were over powered by our voluminous appetite, pleasant demeanor and good looks LOL. This place is amazing. Not so much in a good way but in an idiosyncratic manner. It's called the Bubble Room for a reason. But ya gotta see this place for yourself. Photos of deceased actors are on the walls ,odd nick nacks under our table covered by glass. You get the drift. Well dinner has arrived. My glorious turkey sandwich called the "Turk Douglas" after the famous actor Kirk Douglas. We were served by the Pirate named Ashley who was attentive and efficient despite being busy with other clientele. Everyone enjoyed their food and a good time was had by all. My sandwich was delicious and my root beer was great too. All in all this is a place to be seen if ever held captive by Pirates in Captiva Island.

    What a great place! So much to see and reminisce over AND the food is excellent! The wait staff is wonderful. It's well worth the drive.

    a quirky, colorful spot that's famous for its ice cream, towering cakes, and over-the-top décor. I went with a scoop of cookie dough and Gator Trail ice cream, and my boyfriend ordered an affogato. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was some of the best ice cream I've ever had -- absolutely worth the 30-minute drive on the winding 35 mph roads to get there. The cakes on display were enormous and looked incredible, so if you're a dessert lover, this place is a must-visit when exploring the islands.

    Best soft serve swirl ice cream around and other deserts, pies, coffee. Place is usually packed good ambiance and service.

    Rum cake-best I've had

    I'm not sure why it took me so many years to try this place. We went this time on our recent trip. We waited outside and got in when they opened for dinner. What a colorful, clean and delightful restaurant. I've never seen so many decorations be so artistic and well coordinated. The bathrooms are worth visiting too. Everything ordered at our table was excellent. The service was very good and the only negative is that I didn't go there years ago.

    Finally got to check out the bubble room on my recent visit to Sanibel Captiva. They just reopened a few months ago after the hit from Hurricane Ian in 2022. When we got there late afternoon, it was busy so we enjoyed some drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. The different rooms are decorated with different themes. They are interesting. We sat at a Christmas themed table and ordered 4 different desserts (keylime pie, rum cake was surprisingly good, tropical cake and orange cremcicle) to share. They were huge portion and all tasted great. The texture of the cake was moist and fluffy. I think i understand why people rave about their red velvet cake. I will definitely try it next time. The staff was friendly. You got to check out this local gem when you are on Sanibel Island.

    The restaurant had great atmosphere. Lots of black-and-white photographs of movie stars. Christmas decorations everywhere. Interesting shadowbox arrangement at each table. Our waitress was a lot of fun! Fun custom-made cocktails. Excellent she crab soup! Good quality seafood, and entrées. My wife enjoyed the crabcakes, although they seemed a little small. Desserts were creative!! Be sure to save room. One criticism, a $25 bacon cheeseburger?!

    Cakes! Their specialty

    What fun! We had been 25 years ago and it was just as fun as we remembered. And the food and service are excellent! Usually in a themed place like that the food is mediocre but here it's super! The bubble bread and sticky buns are a great addition and come with the meals. The ambiance is so much fun...Christmas bubble lights everywhere. Even the chandeliers...and so much memorabilia that you could spend hours looking. Our grandchildren were enthralled!

    This place was amazing. Great for kids and grown kids. Very eclectic - so much to see and look at - collection of collectibles and memorabilia stuffed in every inch of available space. Food was very good too which surprised us. As a free appetizer they provided excellent bread and sticky buns. Do not eat this or you will not finish your dinner! I loved my shrimp in garlic buttered sauce but couldn't finish it because of the bread and sticky bun! lol. I tried to eat my she crab soup but same problem. It was very good though. My guests enjoyed their meals but paced themselves with the bread. Outstanding service! This is a must visit !!!

    Parking is tough...like anywhere in fort myers...always budget in 30 minutes to park and 44-60 minutes to wait for food...this place is a little better in that it is a drive down the island chains to Captiva...most don't have the patience to drive and the people on the island are sparse compared to FM, but less places to eat as well...anyway...onto good stuff: The staff- amazing...the Bubble Scouts...super enthusiastic and unique...think TGIFs but with scout uniforms (they'll tell u why)...friendly and kind despite the tourists they deal with all day... Food...unique...not big portions or the selection of FM but every dish has a fun spin...we had the flaming cheese and garlic shrimps...they light the cheese on fire at the table...OPA! The dessert is why you came there! BEST CAKE IN THE STATE! No seriously, legit could come here and just have cake for dinner...orange crunch cake is a must but the tropical island cake is delicious as well and was our family's fav overall... Do NOT think this is Christmas themed...they have Christmas rooms and bubble lights all Over but I'm seeing some reviews that think it's Christmas in July...it's a fun south Florida pastel vibe with great desserts and be sure to time it up with a drive back to catch the sunset on captiva after!

    This quirky, always-Christmas restaurant is always fun to go to. I've eaten here every time I've visited nearby Sanibel since I was a kid. I took my own child recently for the first time, and he enjoyed it as well. The service is good, with friendly servers dressed in various degrees of quirkiness. The food is tasty. The toast and cinnamon rolls that come out before can't be healthy, but sure are yummy. We had the she-crab soup, the crab cakes, and the Mahi Brando. The soup was a little salty but tasted great. The crab cakes and Mahi Brando were a hit.

    I've been to the Bubble Room over 20 times but my previous review is for Boops, before it was named Boops. So let me give the restaurant its proper review. This is an iconic eclectic restaurant. All sorts of memorabilia from the 1920s-1940s are on the walls, ceilings and in the tables. Servers are well trained bubble scouts. Menu items are fun named and the food is delicious. If you come to Captiva Island, this is somewhere you need to eat. Desserts are huge and delicious. Gift shop is across the street.

    Does the restaurant allow dogs?

    I don't think so. I didn't see anyone with pets when I was there.

    I see an Impossible Burger on the menu but what are the other vegan options? Are there any vegan desserts?

    They have a salad and a grilled portable mushroom dish but that has mozzarella cheese. I would say you could easily do vegetarian but maybe not vegan. The desserts are not vegan. I am sure they all contain eggs. If you are strict vegan you may just… Read more

    Is there outside seating? I remember years ago there was one table in front but I cannot remember if there were any others.

    Yes there are a few outside picnic tables. They were being used by some people who were waiting for inside service or carryout. Cant say there were more than three to my recollection! Was there the first week in September.

    Can I make a reservation? It will be my birthday on the 21st and I would love to have dinner there

    Last time I was there it was first come first serve, but it was lunch.

    Can I get Dem Bones at lunch time?

    No, it's only part of the dinner menu.

They run around and do a good job. I chose Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed. I was torn about what to eat. One of the servers, Jason, recommended the octopus and the meatballs- so I said ok! The meatballs came out first. They were tender and had a nice lamb flavor. I liked the hummus a lot. The pita was cold and stiff, but I ate it. The octopus came out hot. It had a nice citrusy sauce. It was cooked perfectly. Apparently they poach it, I asked. I always want to make something like this but I have yet to actually do it. Jason did bring a basket of crusty bread for the sauce on the octptus but I ate a few pita triangles so I skipped the bread. After my wine and tapas, I closed my tab. I easily found the restroom near the stage. I had walked over, but they do have a small parking lot of front and there's another one across the street. They have an event on the last Tuesday of each month. They close the store for it. Call ahead to make a reservation. I just missed the Wagyu wine pairing this week. Oops. They have music most nights.

This is a niche tapas restaurant catering to those individuals that enjoy expertly prepared food without any pretense. The restaurant itself is very unassuming with seats for 10 at the bar overlooking the kitchen and booths as well as some awkward seating as you first enter the restaurant that can accommodate up to 20 more people. What impressed me as much as the quality of the food was the quality of our server, RAIZA, who on a scale of one to 10 was a 15. She not only knew the food but her expertise with the wine pairings was superb and I think my son really appreciated her input and selections after he had laid out some of his criteria. We ordered eight items for the three of us and they were all unique, wonderfully tasteful and beautifully presented. Each selection is paired with a different wine and you have ample time between selections to chat and talk about how good the next selection will be. Hopefully my pictures will present an accurate account of how wonderful everything was. This is not the kind of restaurant that I would personally return to on a regular basis but I would welcome the opportunity to come here once a year just to be reminded of how food/dining can be a joyous occasion. It was clear from our visit that liberty has a devout following. It was interesting that there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table and this was for the obvious reason that the food came to the table properly seasoned with no extras required. I would have to say our eight selections were ample but on the light side. We arrived at our reservation time at 5:45 and departed at 7:45, a very leisure dining experience. To summarize, liberty will continue to thrive as long as they are able to maintain their high standards of food and service, kudos to ownership and staff for providing such a unique experience in Fort Myers. The medium rare chocolate chip cookies were good but the cinnamon toast crunch ice cream was beyond compare and I certainly could've used a man's size portion of that as it was so delicious.
