Through it all, he never lost his cool. He smiled the entire time, stayed so friendly, and made us feel welcome. Eventually, another employee arrived, and the two of them worked hard to keep everything going. Their bosses should be incredibly grateful to have such dedicated employees. Alex, thank you for making our birthday celebration special! Your hard work and kindness did not go unnoticed!

When my friend was going through one of the hardest battles of their life with cancer, this incredible team stepped up without hesitation and donated food to help during such a difficult time. Their kindness went far beyond a meal -- it brought comfort, relief, and a reminder that compassion still exists. In a world where small acts of generosity can mean everything, what they did will never be forgotten. Not only is the food amazing, but the people behind this restaurant have hearts just as incredible as their menu. Supporting businesses like this matters. Thank you for treating my friend with dignity, care, and kindness when they needed it most. We are forever grateful.

I got angel hair with Alfredo sauce and shrimp, which was very good. My wife got linguine, Del Mare with Alfredo sauce, which also was very good. The cavatelli with vodka and tomato sauce with crumble sausage was excellent. We also tried the Alla piccata with chicken, which was also excellent. We got a piece of tiramisu for dessert which also was very good. It was pretty busy there and the service was pretty good sorry about the pictures. I forgot to get pictures of some of the dishes and the ones I do have we already started eating lol I would definitely return here.

Staff here is knowledgeable and friendly of their products. Clean restrooms! This place even sells hard to find meads as well! Not to mention this place doubles as a brewery too! Definitely recommend!

The food was incredibly delicious, especially the seafood. I had the octopus and grilled calamari, and both were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I also had a cocktail that was excellent. The service really stood out -- the staff was friendly, attentive, and everything came out very timely. The atmosphere is nice and intimate, which made it perfect for a relaxed evening out. On top of that, it's not overly pricey for the quality you get, and the desserts were truly to die for. I would definitely recommend Capri and can't wait to go back!

I love that they…read morehave wine flights where you can try 4 wines, but the slushees other reviews mention might be a seasonal thing. Seems reasonable to get 4 small glasses of wine for $16. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was handling and just overall grumpy. I can understand that doing separate checks for a large group might not be fun, but she just seemed irritable the whole time until we gave her a decent tip. She directed us to get our own water from the self-serve station. I did like that I could do the wine flight from the table vs. they only offer the 6 wine tasting from the bar. I was a little disappointed that no one explained which wine was which, and I was left guessing when I ordered all sweet wines and a couple that looked very similar. When I later wanted to order a glass, I apparently picked the wrong one, but none of them were horrible so that was OK. I also ordered the small charcuterie plate, which was a perfect snack plate. Some of our party ordered flatbreads and wraps, which also looked really good, so I would definitely try this place again. This place doesn't seem like they're that good at accommodating large groups as they only have small round tables they had pushed together, but we made it work. They seemed a bit understaffed for a Saturday afternoon. If you like sweet wines, my favorite was the Sweet Purple Lady, followed by Blackberry. I took a bottle home.

I felt like the owner was snarky with myself and a few other family members. I feel her and her employees may have been overwhelmed with the size of the party.

I think the they should consider bringing in more employees or making the parties a little longer when there are that many guests and that may help with some of the snarky and rushed moments.
