CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014 The Boathouse restaurant that once stood at the Cape Coral Yacht Club is coming back, possibly with a new look.<\/p>\n
Fox 4’s Bella Line spoke with people at the Yacht Club beach about the new renderings: <\/p>\n
Cape Coral Boathouse restaurant gets new potential design following devastating fire last year<\/p>\n
More than a year after a fire destroyed the waterfront restaurant, the memories still run deep for many people.<\/p>\n
“I was broken hearted because it was one of my favorite places to go in the Cape,” said Stephen Soviero, who grew up in Cape Coral.<\/p>\n
Now we have new renderings of the Boathouse restaurant that has a little bit of a different look. Many people tell me they just want to see the restaurant and yacht club back open for business.<\/p>\n

Cape Coral Boathouse restaurant gets new potential design following devastating fire last year<\/p>\n
“It does look nice. It looks bigger and multiple level the way they did it, you know, hopefully they’ll build it where it will withstand some storms,” said Mike Novak, a yacht club visitor.<\/p>\n
James Riddle, who visits the beach often, wants to see action on the yacht club soon.<\/p>\n
“They got to decide and start, and that’s it. Bottom line, start,” Riddle said.<\/p>\n
However, not everyone is completely sold on the new design.<\/p>\n
“It’s a little bit overkill, if you ask me, a little bit too much going on, but it is what it is,” Soviero said.<\/p>\n
I asked the owner when they’re aiming to reopen or for a timeline, but he has not responded yet.<\/p>\n
As for the yacht club, the city says the park designs are expected to be done by the end of the year and the community center designs by early next year.<\/p>\n
