    Our party of four enjoyed a great evening. Eric was our waiter since we had not been there. He explained everything to us the history of the restaurant and the chef’s awards and accomplishments. We started out with some curry muscles, which were top-notch. Everyone in the party had a different dish, shrimp and grits, crabcakes, steak, pork chop. Everything was wonderful.

    The Perfect Caper is a wonderful experience in food. Had a special of venison with mushroom, fingerling potatoes and wine reduction, preceded by the best foie gras I have ever tasted. My companion had mussels in curry sauce and duck. Service was friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend highly.

    Another perfect evening at the Perfect Caper. We split a great fried shrimp appetizer followed by a main course of a crab cake and Moroccan lamb which was spiced with a wonderful cinnamon flavor and cooked to a beautiful medium rare.
