On an island once a bootlegger's haunt, Lighthouse Point's ramshackle seafood spot reached by launch has served the famous as well as the infamous, including the likes of Winston Churchill, FDR, JFK, and Al Capone. Cap was Captain Theodore Knight, born in 1871, who, with partner-in-crime Al Hasis, floated a derelict barge to the area in the 1920s. Broward's oldest restaurant, built on the barge, is run by Hasis descendants. Sesame Crusted Dolphin ($27.95) is served with soy ginger sauce, flaky rolls are baked fresh several times a night, and tangy lime pie ($5.95) is a great finale. Cap's is no cheapie; even a plate of linguine and clams will cost you $20.
