They have a decent selection of dinner options. The servers have always been pleasant. Food portions are good. They have a piano player on Friday and Saturday, which we like. We dine there about once a month.

I love the decor and ambiance. I came for lunch but the first time I was here, there was a live band. The food is plentiful and good. It took a little time to get after we ordered but nothing to complain about. Our servers were friendly. I would recommend this location for lunch but even more so for dinner.

Food and service was great as always! My critique is the table by the door during the winter months. Please consider using heavier lined curtains that do not move every time the door opens. My guest and I were cold.

Dinner was great. Encrusted grouper and pork chop. Both were outstanding. Brussel sprouts and cream, spinach or excellent. The strawberry shortcake was the best. Our server could have been a little more intentional.

We dined at Capers at lunchtime. The atmosphere was comfortable as tables were arranged so as not to be crowded or jammed close to other tables. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and knew the menu very well. The menu offers a variety of options for appetizers, salads, soups, combos, plates, and entrees. Then, there was the sweet potato cheesecake!!!!! Wonderful! Delicate, delicious!

Although it took too long to be greeted once we were seated at our table, the food and service were excellent once someone finally arrived to take our drink order. Portions are generous and menu options are diverse and delicious. I do think the ambiance is lacking, but the food definitely makes up for it.

I've been going to capers for almost 20 years. Probably 80-100 visits now. This is my first semi negative review. I ordered the pork chop and it was not even close to cooked. Pork is one food you can't let that happen to. In addition the cucumber salad was a disappointment as it barely tasted of any seasoning or marinade. Tasted like regular cucumbers with a dressing on them as opposed to the usual marinaded sweet flavor. My fear is that with the recent passing of the owner, the quality is going to go down. I hope this was a one off because this has long been my favorite restaurant. Steve demanded a high standard. I hope that's not changing.
