This place is absolutely the best. The people who work there are so incredibly nice and talented. The food is phenomenal. It is BYOB and some individuals (my friends) may have brought one to many bottles :) I can not say enough about how good this restaurant is in Kennett. If I could give a higher rating I would!

We've been going to Capers almost every Sunday for the last several years. We sit on the beautiful, quiet, climate-contolled patio. We love all the waiters, but Rick is our favorite. My recent go-to menu items are the arugula salad and the lasagna (or Summer Corn Agnolotti in the summer). I'm hoping that they bring back Butternut Squash or Acorn Squash Agnolotti...YUM!
