Noise level was high. Great Lille store to stock up on goodies on the way out. Parking was quite limited and we had to park way out in the far parking lot which would have been a major issue for some people.

Asked server for a little sauce to cover the chicken and was informed that would be an extra charge. Extra charge for a little bit of sauce? Really? Salmon dish pretty good. Orzo was overly sauced and salty. Had a similar experience several months ago when I asked to swap a side that came with the dish for another side on the menu priced exactly the same. Was told I would need to pay the full price of the side. Management really needs to focus on customer service instead of trying to squeeze every dollar. Suggest you talk to Lizzie at Redfire where no reasonable request is denied. Don’t plan on returning to Capers unless there’s a change in Management.

The food was delicious and the service was perfect. Absolutely must order the prosciutto Gorgonzola and fig flat bead for appetizers, the short rib agnolotti for dinner and the tiramisu for dessert. You won’t be disappointed. Purchased a holiday gift at their shop on the way out!
