Review is for puffcake popup, not seafood. Been seeing these viral puff cakes on my socials for a minute and decided to finally try them for myself. Making a reservation online was easy peasy and so was parking since it was a Sunday and free :) Immediately greeted and seated for our reservation. Our server Destiny was prompt, friendly and energetic. All the staff were kind and friendly to be honest. We started out with some nifty lattes and a chocolate bomb hot cocoa that was as entertaining as it was delicious. Then came the puff cakes. The s'mores had a liquid chocolate topping that flowed like lava. The strawberry was smothered in custard and berries, and the plain were as advertised. Even though the smothered versions aren't quite as healthy, the toppings helped add some needed flavor. The light and airy risen puff cake by itself is a bit plain just like a regular plain pancake would be and just need a little something to add some flavor; even if it's just some maple syrup. I will add that the custard and chocolate topping by themselves were really tasty. All in all it was a wonderful experience that I look forward to trying again in the future! read more

Rating: 4.0 Came to try this place for breakfast as they are offering Japanese pancake during specific days. Usually this place is cajun seafood boil place so this review will only cover their Japanese pancake offering. It's a restaurant located on federal hill. Parking can be difficult to find but we were able to find some parkings on the street beside the restaurant. They have covered patio and inside is rather smaller area with some seatings, counter and a bar. They seem to be busy so we did have our reservation which we made about hour prior to coming to the location. I would recommend for those that want to come here. Once we arrived we were immediately sat down and looked through their menu. They offer variety of Japanese fluffy pancake paired with sweets and fruits or savory option as well. They offer some drinks mainly lattes and juice. I ended up getting the breakfast scramble pancake and hot cocoa bomb. Food came out first. The breakfast came with 2 fluffy pancake, scrambled eggs with scallions, home fries, sausage, onions, and maple syrup. The pancake was fluffy and paired well with the sides. I feel like though something like hollandaise sauce would have taken the dish up a notch instead of just simple maple syrup. The hot cocoa bomb was interesting as you get the cup with marshmallow rim and a chocolate ball where you pour hot milk yo melt and mix the chocolate. Conceptually fun but chocolate wasn't great quality and didn't mix well and marshmallow rim was hard to eat. Taste was ok it ended up tasting like light chocolate and more milk since chocolate didn't mix well. Service was good and staffs were nice. The order came out in about 5-10 minutes Overall I think the place is ok. Definitely has its own place in RI because of the Japanese pancake offering which we don't see a-lot of place do yet. But aside from that food was ok and price was expensive for what they offer. I ended up paying about $80 for 2 pancake and drinks. I had Japanese fluffy pancake and drinks for about half of that price in Japan that was better quality. If you want Japanese fluffy pancake and can't make it yourself this is the place at least for now. read more

Super cold weather perfect for some trendy breaky day~ parking was available today, and the walk was very chilly. Not too hard to find since the door way and big capri sign is prominent ~ we held a reservation and were seated quickly, since online it stated that reservations were recommended due to the hype of the pancakes trend. Place looks small and they are only open for the puffcake pop-up from 10am-12pm and regular service of Capri at 1pmServer was kind and very attentive. While she took my order, she solely focused on each person~ For drinks I ordered the hot s'more latte and for the meal, an ultimate breakfast that has bacon, hash brown, and a Puffcake. I also ordered a banana foster sauce side to get some sauce variety~ my latte was warm and cozy, and very pretty. The pancakes were very fluffy and sweet. Glad I ordered the savory menu because I wanted something somewhat healthy with protein. I ordered the side foster on the side and it was banana with syrup. My meal was enjoyable and pretty! Outstanding and worth the line outside? Not really. Felt like I was here for the pictures, which I was drawn too~ The service was very good though~ kind, attentive and prompt. read more

It had been a while since I'd been to Capri. Stopped by on a Friday night for a seafood boil. Took some time to find parking. Staff was nice & service was fast. Cocktails were really good, and the seafood boil was good, although it could've used more sauce. We ordered the capri calamari, and it's been a couple years since I had it, but I do remember it being tossed in the sweet chili sauce. They served the sauce on the side, and it's def better tossed in the sauce. Overall it was a good experience, but it's not my favorite place for a seafood boil. I can get more bang for my buck in other places. My fave part of the meal was the cocktails. read more

We made reservations online and were seated immediately upon arrival. It was pouring rain and even though we had selected a patio seat, they had the flexibility to seat us inside, which we appreciated. (FYI the patio is covered so we could have sat outside) We knew exactly what we wanted so we placed our drink and pancake order and eagerly awaited for them to arrive. While we knew the soufflé pancakes would take about 25ish minutes to prepare, as stated on their menu, we weren't expecting our drinks to take 30 minutes to arrive. Our soufflé pancakes arrived minutes after our drinks, so we were able to enjoy them together. This extended wait time was the only downside of our visit today. We LOVED our soufflé pancakes, they are unlike anything we have tried before. The fresh fruit and toppings are equally as delicious and my tropical paradise came with a house made passion fruit maple syrup, which was outstanding. Definitely worth the hype. read more

This past weekend, Rhode Island's first soufflé pancake experience by Puffcake began their pop-up at Capri Seafood Friday - Sunday from 10am-2pm (or until sold out-Limited quantities daily). On social media, I saw that the Japanese soufflé pancakes were sold out by 11:30am-12:00pm on Saturday, so I stopped by on Sunday, June 15th about 9:50am and there was already a queue outside Capri Seafood. At 10am, the doors opened and the hostess sat groups timed apart. This was my first time at Capri Seafood and the restaurant is very spacious. There is an outside patio with plenty of tables and seating inside. We got seated at 10:40am inside and by 11:00am, we were enjoying our drinks and Japanese soufflé pancakes. Paola was our server and she was very pleasant. I ordered the dragonberry matcha and tropical paradise soufflé pancakes. The dragonberry matcha had matcha, whole milk, dragon fruit, and strawberry infused cold foam. The drink was aesthetically pleasing and very good. The matcha was definitely a higher grade. Now, time for the pancakes. The pancakes are made fresh to order. The soufflé pancakes were jiggly, soft, fluffy, and airy, just like how the pancakes were when I had it in Japan. It is very on par, but maybe the pancakes in Japan were a little more airy since their eggs and ingredients are different, very negligible difference. Every bite melts in your mouth. The kiwi, strawberry, and mango were fresh. The syrup was tangy and zesty. It was very well done and so glad we can find Japanese soufflé pancakes right in Providence. I saw on social media on Sunday, the pancakes were sold out again. My husband had the Crème brûlée latte and the breakfast soufflé pancakes. He said both were very good. Though, he preferred the sweet pancakes over the savory pancakes. Puffcake pop-up at Capri Seafood is definitely worth checking out. If you do not want to wait too long, then definitely get there early and be on the queue. The soufflé pancake experience with drinks by Puffcake is definitely worth the wait! read more

What if you combined the worst things about bad French toast (the eggy, mushy taste and mouth feel) with pancakes? You get the Puffcake that's apparently all the rage on TikTok and Instagram and selling out the seafood restaurant first shift every day with reservation only enthusiasts from hypeville. $6 for 3/4 of a little glass of "hand pressed" orange juice? You got it. Service that's super slow, but friendly? Sure. $50 for inflated eggy, puffy pancakes and bacon for two? This is your place. It's not mine for sure. You may love it, however, especially if you're a millennial or Gen Z, and easily impressed by social media eating exploits. Enjoy. I want my hour and 10 minutes back. read more

Came in for the soufflé pancakes after seeing them on Instagram -- and they didn't disappoint. Loved that the menu was simple and straight to the point. Right at the top, it clearly states: "Your order will take 25 minutes as it's freshly prepared," which sets expectations upfront -- a thoughtful touch. They focus on what they do best: soufflé pancakes, a handful of house coffee drinks, and two alcoholic options. I ordered the crème brûlée latte -- the real test is whether they torch the sugar. They did, and it was perfect. A great balance of caramelized sugar and smooth coffee. Only recommendation: go lighter on the ice, as it waters down the experience too quickly. Also had the peach Bellini, which was another hit -- bursting with flavor and reminded me of a passionfruit (parcha) drink. The soufflé crème brûlée pancake was light, fluffy, and full of that rich crème brûlée flavor, complete with a caramelized top. Added a side of hash browns -- nicely crisped and served hot alongside the rest of the meal. Surprisingly, everything came out in under 15 minutes despite the 25-minute heads-up -- impressive. The team worked efficiently, and the atmosphere was relaxed. A great spot for a laid-back Sunday brunch date. read more

A few friends of mine raves about this place so my husband and I finally tried it. I ordered the Buddha bowl with salmon and he preferred the lobster Mac, along with the crab cakes and fried calamari. Although they were starters and appetizers, were were already, happily satisfied! We also ordered a mojito and this soju punch which was absolutely amazing. Our server was fantastic. We chose to sit outside because the day was perfect where we also enjoyed live music across the way. The only thing that sucked was the traffic and trying to look for parking because it was located at Federal Hill and it was a very busy day. read more

Food/Drinks: This is literally my favorite spot for a seafood boil in RI thus far! The seasoning Is top-tier and you simply cannot go wrong with their flavor of spicy Cajun. They have a mini boil and it's beyond filling for just one person. Prepare yourself to leave with barely being able to breath ! They have a variety of items in their menus so if you don't want a boil, you can get something different! They also have amazing drinks such as fishbowls that are shareable for up to two people! Location: This location is in the Federal Hill area ! They have inside and outside seating! it's very cozy and it has a pretty cute aesthetic. It's a perfect place for a date night! Girls night out ! Or for takeout ! They don't have private parking, but they do have parking throughout the area. The attire is casual to a bit dressed up idk some people dress up and some are dressed chill af. They are first come first serve and they do not take reservations. Service: The service here is great everytime ! read more

Incredible seafood boil! I got the Capri Cajun seasoning and it was so good--garlicky, savory, with just a hint of sweetness. Everything was perfectly cooked. We also ordered the pasta, which was really good and a great addition to the meal. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back! read more

"The seafood boil with the Capri Cajun sauce--OMG, an absolute melody in my mouth. The price might make you raise an eyebrow, but it's so worth it. They give you so much sauce, you'll be making your own plate after... thank me later." If you are going in the winter dress warm cause its cold in there. read more

My wife ordered the seafood pasta and I opted for the Spicy Shrimp garlic noodles. The description of my dish did not mention that there would be soy sauce/oyster sauce and was unexpected based on the description. I thought the portion was small for the price and a bit on the salty side. My wife's dish could use more marinara sauce as it was described with "red" sauce. Her dish was also in the oily side and looked like a soggy lo mein dish. The kids opted for the burger but the menu did not reflect the change to the "wagu" burger. In addition for a party of 4, one would not expect for gratuity to be automatically included. I would have tipped anyway but had not seen this. I would not order the same dishes again and had better food for less. read more

Well, I usually don't do bad reviews; however in this case I'll make an exception due to our bad experience. The food is horrible... seafood boil with half of tray full of oil... lots of oil...saggy potatoes... frozen corn (saggy), over cooked shrimp... WAY overpriced for the quality of food they served... party of 4 and our bill "INCLUDED" 18% tip... with the paper receipt asking for more... shady place for sure... I have no idea why people visit this location. I will never go back nor I recommend the place to others. Really bad seafood!!! read more

Finally had a chance to try the infamous soufflé pancakes. Delicious! So light and fluffy. Amazing. And the topping was very light. I thought it would might be too much, but it was perfect. Mimosa, and a signature coffee. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

We went here for drinks and we enjoyed ourselves and the drinks. Staff was quite friendly and drinks were delicious. We independently had a something flight (forgot the name), lychee martini, sangria, seafood Bloody Mary and two rounds of green tea shots. We didn't eat here but other patrons food looked really good. SUGGESTION: we aren't locals and our cars got towed from Atwells Ave. The city does a horrible job with posting "no parking" signs. Park in a parking lot and not on the street. read more

I always enjoy a good seafood boil at capri but this time I tried some other items on the menu. My review is also including points for the boils I've had in the past. Service- I always find their service to be great. Everyone is attentive and friendly. The wait is never too long and water is delivered right away. Our waitress for this visit was super nice and professional. Food- loved the lobster roll, the bread was super buttery with the perfect toast. The lobster was perfectly cooked and sweet. Unfortunately the sweet potato fries were undercooked but still sweet. Now Paellas are hard if it's not something you really put time into. I was not impressed, parboiled rice is not my personal fav and the amount of tomato sauce that was used, too much. All I tasted was tomato in the rice. Not enough seafood just a few shrimp and clams (well cooked and flavorful) nothing else so i would suggest adding the lobster tail. And I didn't get a picture of the calamari but it's a must order if you like sweet and tangy! Overall I love Capri their seafood boils do it for me and i will definitely order the Lobster roll again. read more

Located on Federal Hill, with street parking. Seating available on a covered/enclosed patio & indoors. Fun atmosphere with delicious cocktails and delicious seafood! We enjoyed the escargot, ceviche, and crispy tuna bites as appetizers. We especially enjoyed the Chef's Choice Cut which is served with a hot stone to cook the meat yourself, the seafood combo platter and the spicy seafood pasta. Service was incredibly helpful and friendly, always refilling our waters. Highly recommend! read more

Seafood, seafood, glorious seafood!!! There's a reason why they call Rhode Island the Ocean State.

We were recommended the area for a nice dinner spot and cocktails by some friends. Federal hill has an open plaza that's awesome for outside dining. We had no reservations for a Friday night but was lucky to snag an outdoor table in awesome weather. We started off with some cocktails and a dozen oysters. The oysters were very good and had a side of a very familiar spicy flavored fishy sauce. After asking the knowledgeable waitress, she confirmed that the menu and food has a Cambodian influence, that was an awesome surprise. We ordered the trio combo in tom yum flavor. It came with lobster tail, snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes... an amazing boil dish. Pricing was manageable for the area. Overall very nice outdoor seating experience, with great food and drinks, and service for a summer night. read more

Ate at Capri for my birthday dinner with my wife, son, and daughter. It was my first time there and I chose it because I wanted some seafood. We had a 20 minute wait on a Sunday night, which wasn't too bad. When they seated us, we sat outside in a heated, covered area. It appears the only dinner seating they have is out there. Not expected or noted on their website, but again, not horrible. I should add that the actual chairs were little metal seats that offered no comfort at all. I'd expect more from a place with good price point. The service was extremely slow. It was slow enough that as we waited for our order, they brought us free bread, which is a $7 side on the menu. Appreciated, but our wait wasn't just for the food. It took over 10 minutes to be greeted by our waiter after we were seated and over 10 minutes from the time we asked for our check to the time we got it. Then 10 more to pay. This is no exaggeration. When you consider the automatic 18% gratuity, it feels like lazy service. The food was hit or miss. I ordered the trip, a seafood boil with lobster tail, snow crab legs, and shrimp. The crab and lobster were a little overcooked, missing the meat more difficult to extract. But it all tasted very good. The veggies were also good, and the roasted potatoes to added were amazing. My son and daughter got surf and turf. Again, the lobster was overcooked. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, but was underseasoned. My wife got the Shrimp Diavolo. It was pretty darn good. All in all, for the price, I suspect I don't return anytime soon. Service was way too slow, food was hit or miss. When it hit, it was quite good. When it missed, it was underseasoned steak or overcooked shellfish. The latter is especially bad when you consider that the seafood is their specialty. read more

Definitely visit this place in Federal Hill if you're looking for a delightful seafood experience. The flavors of their dishes are satisfying. Whether you prefer indoor or patio dining, this restaurant has both options available. The customer service is exceptional, with attentive waitstaff (Taylor) to cater to your needs. Their menu includes a variety of frozen drinks and a wide selection of cocktails (we ordered the pistachio martini and also the Capri Passion Fruit) It's an ideal venue for a nice date night, a fun girls' night out or you can also drop by for appetizers and drinks. Furthermore, the restaurant's aesthetics are aesthetically pleasing, adding to the overall dining experience. read more

I asked for medium well steak, was given this. This was my first meal of the day (a late one i know) and couldn't enjoy it. I tried to eat the parts that were somewhat done but obviously it wasn't much. I called back and the service wasn't much help either. If you want decent service eat inside, don't call and order takeout. read more

First time stopping by for a quick meet up with a friend and I was wowed by how tasty the salmon dinner plate was. I usually add extra salt and pepper to my food at restaurants because it's usually bland for me, but not here. It wasn't salty or unsalted it was perfect. The sage dijon was just right. I also omitted the bacon from my brussel sprouts and that was delicious. Definitely will be back to try out the other dishes. Oh yea, and the ambience is nice and service staff was so sweet. Small inside but that's okay for me. read more

If you're feeling gluttonous and I normally am, then go to Capri Seafood! I had the Mac & Cheese, Cajun Fries, Madd Ribs annnnnnnnd the Mini Combo. I see you judging me for all that food, lol, but my girlfriend helped me eat it all and we polished the plates. Everything was cooked perfectly, had massive kick (I asked for extra spice) and great service as well.

My partner ordered 1/2 lb of peeled shrimp with bread and salad. Both with Capri Cajun seasoning. It was SO delicious. You can choose your spice level from no spice to double suicidal.

We went back for our 2nd visit. Our first visit was in the summer. It was nice and cool inside and we enjoyed our lobster ravioli and shrimp po' boy. But while we were there we saw others enjoying a crab boil so we returned to try it. Again, the resturant was cozy and warm since it's now winter. I'm dairy free so I had to ask questions but was happy to hear I could get the capri seasoning with dairy. For apps, we had that ahi tuna which was perfect and my husband enjoyed Alaskan king crab legs with butter and garlic. For dinner he ordered a hot buttered lobster roll which he also enjoyed. I got the mini combo with snow crab, shrimp, and mussels (but you could also choose clam) in the capri sauce. I f'n loved it. I now know I like crab and I want to go back with friends. Now to the serious deets, if you are a traditional tiny fork and nut cracker person they only give you scissors here so bring yo' own tiny fork. Our entree came out soon after our apps so we recommend not ordering the entree until you're almost done with your app. The white wine we ordered was too cold but we're that kinda wine person. All in all, very enjoyable and tasty. Go try it yourself. read more
