    ALWAYS a great meal! This is our place up to meet up with a dear old friend when we are in Florida. Service is friendly and helpful. Food is very good (and we have had many things on the menu). Bartenders make good specialty drinks and the wine list is very good and reasonably priced. We will continue to return!

    The food was delicious and the waiter bobby was amazing. I had the shrimp tempura and did not know shrimp could be that huge, tender and delicious.

    This was our first time, and we were definitely let down. Our reservation was for 8:30, and we didn’t get our dinner until almost 10pm! It was so loud and just overall not a good experience.

    From the time we entered Perfect Caper until the time we left, we experienced a warm and inviting ambiance. The chef's special selections are always palate pleasing. Zack, our server, is outstanding. So many menu choices, we went for the "usual", the Pig n Fig and steak tacos. Great wines to choose from.
