Rumrunners in Cape Coral fits the bill if you’re looking for harborside dining with indoor and outdoor seating options and a hearty seafood menu. Some patrons arrive by boat. They also host a wide selection of tropical drinks like their Mint Lemonade and Key Lime Colada.

Southwest Florida is Growing

As you may know, the Southwest Florida population is booming with people arriving from all over the country. It’s a great time to make new friends and settle into the balmy sub-tropical weather with its beautiful scenery, birds, and crystal clear water of the Gulf of Mexico. Having arrived from New York, it was a delight to experience the dry, sunny weather of the winter months. It is truly a place for year-round outdoor fun. I haven’t met anyone yet who misses ice-covered roads, potholes, shoveling snow, and weeks of sub-freezing weather in the northern climes.

A Place for New Friends

I recently went to Rumrunners for dinner with some friends new to the area. We chose the outdoor seating with the lovely marina view. It was also a great place to see the sunset as we dined.

Here are the seating options.

The salmon entree was cooked well done and deliciously crispy. The dessert was refreshing and seemed perfect for the setting. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and plans to return!

They possess a wide range of food and drinks, from light bites to seasonal offerings at dinner and rooftop brunch on the weekends. It’s open all year round because of the sleek and expansive dining room and fire-pits on the al fresco terrace.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I suppose that the title of my blog post, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, is a little misleading because it turned out to be Dinner at Tiffany’s, or more accurately, Dinner at the Blue Box Café. This Cafe honors the romance of the 1961 film starring Audrey Hepburn. Tiffany’s of course was the romantic setting where the lovely Audrey Hepburn went each morning with a pastry and cup of coffee to have breakfast as she window shopped. You might add Breakfast at Tiffany’s to your movie viewing list if you’ve missed it. The song Moon River will have new meaning for you!
