The place was packed, but the food was great! Surprised they ran out of a couple types of drinks - Cava and Sauvignon Blanc. The oysters were amazing! We had broiled lobster which was a good value although on the small side of 1 lb. We’ll be back to the additional items off the menu.

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!
