We booked four tickets (for free by the way) and shared the info with more of our neighbors . A few proceeded to book directly on their own. Because we all wanted to sit together, we called very early on the morning of the race and left a message to request the possibility of putting us all at one table. Brendan, I think he might be the manager on site, called to confirm receipt of our request and said that he wasn't sure if he could accommodate us because we did not have enough tickets for the amount of people who wanted to go. After about 45 minutes, Brendan called back to say he adjusted seats in order to accommodate us at two separate tables. Once we got there, we found out that we were ALL, seven of us, seated together!! What amazing customer service we experienced!! And, just to say, the food and the waitress we had were stellar, highly recommend recommended!

Went to the Cape Cabaret Christmas in July Vendor Fair today and it was completely not what I…read moreexpected. The parking lot was jammed full so I was excited to hopefully get some interesting Christmas themed items. First impressions walking in to the building; it was extremely small, clean and odd. Not really a theater, looked more like a mini banquet hall for an 80's style wedding and a venue bar like on a cruise ship. Nothing Christmas related at all in sight. In fact the first thing I noticed was the 2 skeletons in costume sitting on the far side of the bar which screamed more Halloween. Walking to the vendor room, feet away from the door, there was literally nothing there except for a very small amount of vendors with traditional craft fair items. No Christmas! To me there is a big differences between vendor and craft fairs. Vendors you expect crafted goods and in my mind I thought there would be quality Christmas items. Being in the character performing business, I thought I could get items to enhance my character. Like Christmas themed jewelry, maybe a crafted leather belt, Christmas books for story time, etc. This was a craft fair that basically had homemade items that you expect from a "craft fair" or Etsy Shop without a large selection of choice because it was too small. I walk out with a few magnets not long after I arrived. I probably will not be attend events there any time soon.

It was giving "living room comfort meets cocktail bar energy." At one point, we got up mid-drink to play Connect Four and Jenga like it was adult recess, and no one even judged us. Major points for that. The drinks came out fast and tasted like someone behind the bar actually knew what they were doing--not too strong, not too weak, just right. Goldilocks would be drunk and impressed. I heard the Sunday before there was a DJ who had the place absolutely rocking. We didn't catch that party, but honestly? Even without a DJ, it's a chill spot. Perfect for hanging with friends or pretending you're cooler than you are on a date. Would absolutely go back. Might even claim that sofa as "my spot" like a sitcom character.

After the races, we decided to go to Escondido, which is the speakeasy in Taco Works, in Cape Coral. We were two couples having a great time hanging at the bar. We ordered four drinks (old fashions- not cheap, BTW) and after about 30 minutes we PAID our bill!!! Due to the fact that the drinks weren't completely finished, we stayed a little bit longer. After a bit, one of the bartenders gave us the bill AGAIN !! Thankfully, the receipt of payment was sent to my phone and when I showed it to the bartender, she said "oh" and another bartender stepped up behind her to say that he didn't know either; HE was the one who gave us the electronic receipt for payment only minutes before, how could he forget? The bar wasn't busy, not even 10 people with two bartenders sitting at the bar (and we were four of the 10); so they cannot claim that they were overrun with customers! Neither offered an apology nor any acknowledgment of their error/oversight! Hence, our "RED FLAG" was alerted because in ANY establishment, isn't it the job of a BARTENDER/SERVER to KNOW if a bill has been paid, and if they honestly didn't, shouldn't they acknowledge with an apology rather than simply "oh". We were sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!! We will NOT go back because it seems they have a "game" going on where they try to take advantage of people, or they're entirely incompetent at their job. Either way, bad business!

The plan was simple -- rooftop, drinks, beautiful sky, dramatic sunset moment... you know, the whole Instagram vibe. Well... the sun had other plans. It was so cloudy that the sunset basically said, "Not today." But honestly? We didn't even care after a few minutes. The drinks were excellent, the vibe was great, and the whole place had that perfect rooftop energy where everyone is just relaxing and having a good time. Even without the sunset, the view and atmosphere still made it totally worth it. The service was also great -- friendly, fast, and patient with us while we debated important life decisions like "one more drink or two?" So no, we didn't get the sunset we came for... but we did get great drinks, good service, and a really fun night. 10/10 would come back -- and maybe next time the sun will decide to show up.

We had a drink or two, then ordered the Mediterranean Plate for a starter. It was a great spread, with a lot of humus, plenty of pita triangles, tzatziki sauce and other veggies. We continued on with Beef Skewers and Bai Buns. The buns were nicely zingy and delicious! The beef was tender and cooked to order. The bar...and while rooftop, is hopping, and the vibe is lively and friendly. Apps are 1/2 price during happy hour and some house/well drinks are discounted, but we opted for our favorites. Definitely a great place to watch the water and sunset.
