    I made reservations to visit on a Saturday night and that turned out to be a very good idea. The wait was still 15 minutes with the reservation. My husband and I both agree it was still a good experience. The ambiance here is off the charts. We sat upstairs and got excellent customer service and a nice view of part of downstairs. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. I tried the halibut and it was small but tasty. The macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes were also good. My husband really liked his pork chop. Parking can be a little bit of a problem but we found a space without having to look around for too long. When my budget allows, we will return since the prices are kind of on the high side.

    Crusted Gulf Shrimp & Brussels

    Our absolute favorite restaurant for a quick lunch in San Antonio. It's our go-to every time! Our server, Ansley, was so sweet and courteous. She made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant was really busy and a tad loud, but it was 12:30 lunch time. We loved the pate and we also opted for the Crispy Shrimp and Brussel sprouts. Highly recommend the Parisian 75!

    Chicken Salad Plate
    Sara M.

    Delicious food and great location. Service has been outstanding every time I have gone. It's a comforting place that has a very bistro feel. Comfortable, quiet and understated. I did feel prices were on the higher end for some items. This last time I had the chicken salad plate, which has a portion of chicken salad, grapes, a bit of broccoli and a sort of mango mousse. It was $18, which seemed a bit high for the portion, but the food was tasty and enjoyable. Good place for lunch, if you need a sedate spot without too much drama and good food.

    We visited Cappy's for the first time today and it was a great experience. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. Our server Ian is a true professional. The restaurant itself is open, not noisy but no so quiet that you're afraid to have a conversation, and surrounded by beautiful oak trees. We were seated upstairs and it felt like we were dining in a treehouse. The food was served hot and everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed their meal. We were there for brunch and I tried the "Homard" which was composed of truffled eggs scrambled with lump crab meat topped with a butter poached lobster tail. It was delicious and rich. I had a side of pancakes as well that were fluffy and tasty. I definitely will be back and highly recommended Cappy's.

    Brunch menu

    Love, love, love Cappys and all the Lawton Family Restaurants I have been to. I have been wanting to visit Cappys for some time, but was hesitant to as I am with all restaurants these days, afraid that I'll show up and be that annoying guest with a food allergy. I wouldn't expect it to be the case at a place like this, but this is truly one of my biggest fears. Anywayssss, I was happily able to order the steak frites off the brunch menu (without cheese or butter, both of which I'm sure would have made this meal taste and look even better to the average person) and it was delicious! The steak was absolutely perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning. The french fries were cut thin and crispy. It was a beautiful 83 degrees outside, mid-day so I ordered the Colombian mojito. It was cool and refreshing. They have indoor and outdoor seating, with plenty of fans, covered umbrella seating and a nice breeze if you opt for outdoors. The service was quick and my entire experience was a 10/10. They usually provide an assortment of breads with butter, but I obviously didn't go for that. They have quite the assortment of options from what I saw online and from my brunch menu. If you've made it this far in my review, I highly recommend dining at Cappys!

    Steak Frites... Sub the fries for a Caesar salad
    Nicole Lynn P.

    Cappy's is absolutely amazing... easily one of our favorite spots in San Antonio. We've never had a bad experience here. The service is always top-notch, and the food never misses. On this particular visit, we came for lunch and had the lunch steak, which is consistently flavorful and perfectly cooked. I always swap out the fries for the Caesar salad, and it's honestly one of the best I've had, super fresh and packed with flavor. We decided to try the mussels in coconut sauce as an appetizer, and WOW.. chef's kiss! The broth was so good I could've eaten it as a soup. We've also been for brunch and dinner, and every single visit has been just as delightful. Cappy's is a true gem and a must-visit for locals and visitors alike.

    Ham and Cheese Omelet
    Mark B.

    Finally got a chance to try this restaurant tucked away off of Broadway in the Alamo Heights area. I've been to its sister Cappycino's which is very good so I'm glad I had brunch here today. Cappy's is behind the storefronts (including Cappycino's) facing Broadway. There is ample parking off of Mary Ave. The food was very good, starting with the variety of biscuits/muffins that come with your meal during breakfast or brunch. I had the Ham & Cheese Omelette which was cooked perfectly: fluffy and full of cheese and ham. It also came with some fruit which can never go wrong and some country styled potatoes. Now, I was slightly disappointed since the menu said it was hash browns, which they are clearly not. However, they were very good. If you go for Brunch, they have several lunch item options as well. The staff was attentive and very nice. I would recommend a reservation so you can avoid waiting.

    Just plain fantastic all the way around. Delicious food & impeccable service. Iba crabcake snob and rarely order in San Antonio but they do it right!

    Seafood Po boy and sweet potato fries
    Edward M.

    After reading a few of the reviews on yelp, I was really hoping that they lived up to the hype. I must say Cappy's did not disappoint. The hostess was able to accommodate us even though we didn't have a reservation. I had no idea they took reservations, oops. We had quite an appetite after taking a walk in the Tea Garden earlier that day. We had a bottle of champagne and fresh squeezed OJ & one of the daily specials, seafood Po boy. Excellent food. And our server Libby was very sweet and attentive. Since it was our first time we were blessed with a nice surprise. All in all. The atmosphere was very nice. Feeling like we were outside even tho we were seated inside the dining area with the sliding glass doors for windows getting a view all of the beautiful foliage inside and out. The only opportunity I can point out was that when my wife went upstairs to the restroom while I waited for the table. I was already seated when she came back downstairs. She stood around looking for me and even though the hostess saw her looking around for me she didn't help point her towards our table. It's not a large place but I was seated on the opposite side of a wall and not visible from my wife's vantage point. Other than that we had a Great experience all around.

    Mustang Chicken.  Delicious!
    Alma V.

    Recommend: Yes. Highly suggest making a reservation. Food: I ordered the Mustang Chicken. It is a thin filet of Chicken (big piece though) on top of a mashed potatoes with a side of vegetables. There was also a sauce on top of the chicken filet. Family members ordered a ribeye which also came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The rib eye was so juicy and tender. The vegetables were so delicious and flavorful. My chicken was so delicious. It was breaded, juicy, and savory, pairing well with the mashed potatoes. There was so much food that I had a meal for the next day. I highly recommend the Mustang Chicken. Service: The waitress was friendly and on top of the service. She made sure our drinks were never empty and checked on is several times. Ambiance: Althought the establishment has two floors it is small indoors, low lighting in the evening, making it feel intimate. There is seating outside for the warmer months.

    Cappy's is one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. They call themselves "casual fine dining", which is a great way to describe the experience. The ambiance and decor are casual and relaxed, but the service and food are stand-out. I have never had a dish or drink from here that I didn't love. Everything is high quality, and although the dishes are simple they are all executed well. Must-try dishes are the halibut and mustang chicken. We also recently tried the brussels sprouts with kimchi vinaigrette and crab cake, and both were amazing! Would recommend Cappy's for any occasion, from a celebration to a casual lunch.

    Rebecca C.

    Cappy's is a classic! They have both indoor and outdoor dining which I love. We decided to dine outside, but the mosquitos were biting us. The staff noticed and left to go buy us bug spray. We thought that was really above and beyond, thoughtful service! The food is always good here. I love their salads and recently tried their crab cake which was also delicious. We topped the night off with their warm chocolate cake that served with vanilla ice cream... you just can't go wrong with that combo! So delicious! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great dining experience, Cappy's is a great place to try!

    Double cut pork chop, wonderful!
    Marcos D.

    Excellent food, excellent service, every time I'm here always a great experience. The pate, shrimp and sprouts, the mustang chicken, the double cut pork chop, delicious and tasty. I'm disappointed the prime rib dinner is gone, it was one of the best I've had. The brunch is outstanding and so consistently satisfying. It was great to see coach Pop out and about!

    Would small children fit in?

    I'm not sure. I do not have small children. They might be bored unless you bring a coloring book or something for them to keep busy. I'm not sure

    Is their any live music here , if so what days? Hours. Thank you :)

    No live music just good food and good service!

    What is the attire /dress code if any?

    Most people dress business casual, although there is no dress code- Cappys employee.

    Is the patio pet friendly?

    Yes

    Is Cappy's serving in their dining room or still in Cappuccinos? The acoustics in Cappachinos are less than desirable. Hard to have a conversation.

    All areas are open

    Is this place still open?

    Yes and still very good.

    Do they have normal/big portions here? The pictures kind of look like the portions are small.

    Normal sized portions. Not too big, but not too small.

    What's the dress code? Will my fiancé and I look like slobs eating here before a Spurs game?

    It's not Uber-casual, jeans and a jersey will be fine.
