This was my first time to Capers & Lemon. i love the other restaurants in this group. Our table was not ready when we arrived but there were empty tables, so I was not sure if there were tables reserved just for Open Table. Our server had too many tables and it felt like she could not keep up with all the tables. A table right across from us who were seated after our table, received service and drinks and order taken before us. The restaurant was super loud. So loud it was challenging to have a conversation at our table. The food was excellent. I was disappointed and it would make me think twice before returning.

Delicious food and awesome service! I have Celiac disease and eating out is not always the best, but i was so pleased and surprised with how easy it was for me to be accommodated, our server was absolutely amazing and so sweet with asking questions that made me feel comfortable eating from their kitchen, not to mention the gluten free Lava cake... INSANE! 10/10 experience and will be returning!

My wife and I had the Lasagna which was perfect. Our guest had the Veal Saltimbocca which was fatty and disappointing. Our server was engaging and excellent!

We came from NJ to celebrate my Mom and got to a local holiday party. We picked your establishment based on reviews and you did not disappoint! The Service provided by Nate was attentive and engaging, the food was amazing. Thank you.
