Caprice bistro

Tried this restaurant a week ago for dinner. They helped us with a table quickly and got us in without a reservation. The service was chaotic, I had to ask for the waiter many times, ordered a beer that never showed up until I persisted and then wrong food showed up which had to be corrected so my wife ended up finishing her meal while I wait for my food; this could be a honest mistake, however, overall I was not pleased with the service. The food tasted good and comes hot to your table so it’s not sitting there. I wouldn’t mind going back and trying the profiteroles with the ice cream as that’s what we wanted 😃

Super cute and quaint bistro. The service was excellent. Beautiful location. I do have to say the special mushroom and leek Mac and cheese was amazing. Easily one of the best macs Ive ever had and I dont even like mushrooms!!!

Caprice was my intro to food in downtown Wilmington and did not disappoint. We had the fish special of the day which was really good and the Waterzooi which I can absolutely see why its the house speciality. The cook on all the fish is great, the stew is so yummy. I like a chowder so I expected to enjoy it but it exceeded my expectations. I also love a good crème brûlée and this was that. It was so smooth and the flavor was perfect. Would definitely stop by again! Only thing I'd change, is I'd get a 6pm reservation and stop by the bar for bar bites first. Also definitely recommend coming on Thursday for the cocktail specials.

4.5 ⭐️ Ate here to celebrate our anniversary. Set upstairs and it’s a lovely atmosphere. Had the featured fish, mahi mahi which was potato encrusted with a buerre blanc sauce on bed of rice and veggies. Started with arugula salad (featured). Salad was huge! Fish was fab! Also had the rabbit sausage app. All wa yummy and would definitely go again and recommend!!

Love this restaurant! They have a great bar upstairs and they make the most delicious cocktails! The food is equally great, although we didn't eat on our last vist, just went in for drinks. If you happen to visit Wilmington NC this restaurant is top notch in the downtown/Cape Fear river area. Don't hesitate to try this great restaurant.

First of all, I would like to say that this was my favorite restaurant in Wilmington UNTIL Yesterday! It was my 40th birthday and my husband’s birthday. We arrived sat down and ordered a cocktail each and a appetizer. Our appetizer arrived before we were given a glass of water or any drinks. My cocktail was terrible which is not normally the case this place is known for its great drinks. I couldn’t see my server so i went to the bar to ask if i could have a new one made. I was attacked verbally by the bar server in front off her staff members and the other customers in the restaurant. She verbally abused me for minutes telling me i always complain and that she has had enough Yelling the whole time and completely embarrassing me. I told her she had confused me with another customer and that this is only my second time in the restaurant this year. I told her she must be getting me confused with somebody else but she continued to rant and rave at me to the point i was left in tears! I have never felt so verbally abused! In the end she said she would make me another drink, but my night and birthday had been ruined. I tried to sit down and enjoy my meal, but I was too upset. I later found out this woman was the manager. I cannot believe how poorly I was spoken to by her and that this is someone that is running the restaurant! Save to say i will never return to the restaurant again if this is how management treat their customers! And i will make sure to let all my Community friends, and family know to stay clear of this restaurant!

Nicholas was amazing to us ! We had a group of 4 visiting from Georgia and he gave us great recommendations, happy hour was amazing we got about 3 orders of the 7$ mussels and the steak and frites and everything was so perfectly cooked ! We ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert and it was spectacular. The cocktails that Nicholas made were amazing will deff be coming here again thank you !

We cannot wait to go back and try the food!!! We just did drinks and dessert and everything was phenomenal. The atmosphere was jazzy and romantic with a great eclectic vibe. The music playing upstairs was a great touch and service was friendly. My drink the Marie Antoinette was just devine, my husband had an Amertto sour with a frothy top on it, for dessert we had the Creme Brulee and it was just the right amount of cream and sweetness. We sat in the lounge area upstairs and the food coming through smelled delicious. The four top next to us told us the food was phenomenal and very authentic. When we come back for the holidays we're definitely making reservations to enjoy dinner! Jusque là mes amis!

Cute and great place for happy hour in Downtown Wilmington! My friend and I were in town for a long weekend trip, and she wanted to check out some of the shops on the riverwalk. While visiting the shops we came across Caprice Bistro and saw the Happy Hour specials in the window and decided we would try it out. They opened shortly before we arrived so we were the first customers of the day. The host took us upstairs to the bar area and showed us where Happy Hour would be available. You can sit at the bar, in the high tops by the bar, or a cute section near the bar with some couches. We decided to sit on the couches and that area was perfect and comfy. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful! We started with drinks. I ordered a lemon drop and then a Hugo Spritz and they both were delicious. The bartender was great. For food we ordered a few apps to share off the Happy Hour menu. We got the mussels, frites, and calamari. So delicious and the prices you can't beat. $5 for the frites and calamari and $7 for the mussels. The portions were great for the price as well. We also received complimentary bread which was fresh and delicious...and perfect to dip in the sauce for the mussels. So glad we stumbled upon this spot and will definitely return when I'm back in the area.

Started with authentic French baguette and butter. French onion soup was delicious. Ambience was busy and noisy Pictures on the walls had the French paintings Server was friendly and service was prompt.

Caprice used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Wilmington. There are new owners recently and at first everything seemed to be very similar to how it it been in the past with the original owners. Last nights dinner was not up to par. #1 the bread is not as good and crispy as it was in the past, #2 we were served lukewarm and extremely overcooked calamari. We did return it and the second serving was hot and pretty good. #3 and most important , the waterzooie which has been my favorite for years was sub par last night. Some of the fish didn't taste right; fishy! The sauce was unusually rich and the whole presentation was lacking. Disappointed!

Went for dinner before a show at the Wilson Center! Service was top notch and Ambience great! We sat on top floor! Had 2 different Martini's which were great! French Onion Soup was best I've ever had! Crepe was a little boring! But biggest disappointment was the steak! Ordered Steak Frites, which was described as Rib Eye tonight, although menu says Filet! However, it was a NY Strip, which was a tough piece of meat, especially Given a $42 price tag! That was their special of the night, so they probably got confused on the order! Much better places to go for steak!

Cool vibe, I like that the bar is upstairs. Only indulged in the Happy Hour bar menu trying everything once. A couple of items stood out. One, the mussels and two was the rabbit sausage. That was outstanding and required a second helping. Next time I will try dinner but don't pass up the HH vibe

First visit with the new owners. The food and service were both outstanding. great new additions to the menu including Waterzooi - a house specialty of Cream-based Fish and Seafood Stew with Herbs, Leeks and Mushrooms. It was fantastic. i will definitely order it again. The wine list has been refreshed and is fantastic!!

Great spot! Appetizers were amazing- we got calamari and the Brie crepe. Pork chop was really dry but listed as "juicy" or this review would be a 5. Sauces were amazing. Service was okay, took about 1.5 hours until we got our food after ordering and apps.

Traveling on business I had dinner here a couple years back and thoroughly enjoyed everything about my experience so as I was back in town I had to revisit! I can't explain just how fantastic this place is.. the ambiance is PERFECT .. the meal, from the Escargot appetizer to the Lamb Shank entree and the dessert cheese board was phenomenal ...First Prize again! and the service at the upstairs bar ( from Lauren) was perfection. I can't say enough about my experience and I hope those of you reading this will make an effort if ever you're in Wilmington NC to make this place a priority. Class Act! The ENTIRE EXPERIENCE...

Enjoyed mussels provencal on mussels Monday with french riviera martini and escargot starter. Also tasted tomate tarte tatin starter. All yummy and as good as under past owners. Thanks.

I enjoy this restaurant because the food is pretty good but I do think there are other French restaurants in town that are better. I don't particularly like downstairs dining as it is kinda stuffy and a much older crowd. Tonight I dined with two friends and we had the escargot and calamari as appetizers. Both were very good. I would recommend either I had the mussels with curry for my meal and it was also very good. Service is good, and I have never had a bad time here. Drinks are very pricey so be prepared to spend just as much on one drink as a meal. You really can't go wrong here for a date or a girls night out

5 stars for the food and service. Ok, the food is amazing but Katie, our server made our experience even better. She knows the menus inside out and has this knack for assisting with the selection of the drinks, starters, entrees and desert. She was delightful and as busy as she was, she never missed a beat and she made a point to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. The food was the best I've had in a long time. ***** for the Rilletts.

One of our favorite spots in town. Great authentic food, good prices. Our most recent visit, our server was kind and attentive, but forgot one of the two appetizers we had ordered. Honestly, it ended up being a blessing! We were stuffed between the crepe appetizer and our meals. I love the chef's speciality, the Waterzooi (just get it, you won't be disappointed). Perfect creamy broth with generous chunks of so many different types of seafood. Salmon, mussels, shrimp, flounder. My boyfriend loves the beef bourguignon. So rich and tender. (Pro tip: order extra mashed potatoes, they're awesome) Check it out, promise you'll love it.

I live this quant little spot with great service and friendly patrons. Great wine and cocktail options. Many gluten free me u choices. My food was excellent and even though they had a child's offering my 5 year old ate half of my trout hahaha! My husband's wasn't as good but it was a daily special. The wait staff was awesome. I love that there is no loud music so you can enjoy the company and conversation of your table!!!! I can't wait to visit again. Reservations seem to be a must so plan accordingly.

If you're looking for a romantic restaurant near the coast, look no further. The food was absolutely delightful, and the food melted on your palate in the most exquisite way. It's the perfect place to take your loved one on Valentine's Day with its intimate ambiance and delicate cuisine. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a special and romantic dining experience.

Been here a few times and it never disappoints. We had Elliot as our waiter and he was very good. The food is top notch and seasoned well. I had the duck and my boyfriend got the lamb. It was his first time here and he was impressed with the food and said the martinis are the best he's ever had. The ambiance and environment is so nice and relaxing. 10/10!

Always a great meal and great atmosphere. This is a star and a cornerstone of the restaurants we have tried in Wilmington.

There has been a recent ownership change of this restaurant, which happens to be one of our favorites and Wilmington. They had put out a post saying that the menu would stay the same, but that they would also be adding more exciting specials. We went last night and were disappointed with the French onion soup. NOT the same. Unless the chef screwed up on our particular soups, or simply doesn't know how to make a French onion soup well, it almost seemed like they switched from a beef stock to a chicken stock. Also, and most disheartening, was that the cheese was not overflowing over the sides and crispy. It was more like a cheese soup. One of my wife's favorite dishes there is the salmon. Luckily, she asked if they still made it with the dill on top, but the waiter said that they did not or that they simply didn't have dill that day. That is what made that dish so special for her. She ordered the trout instead, which was excellent as usual. The last thing I noticed was with my favorite dish there, the fish stew. I have ordered that for years because of the delicious seafood mix. Last night was a bit different. Still delicious, but not quite the same magic. in the past large shrimp were always used and the fish was always a high-end catch, like halibut or Seabass or monkfish. Last night, the shrimp were medium size, and the fish was flounder which is typically a less expensive lower end fish. Hopefully, this is not their way of shaving off costs to increase profit. Overall great experience. Just a little different.

The Caprice Bistro was a lovely surprise. We live in Raleigh and also in Boone and did not expect to find the quality of the fare we enjoyed at your place. Just perfect in every way,

It breaks my heart to write this mediocre review on this restaurant. It has been our favorite restaurant in the Wilmington area for the past 14 years. We made reservations last week as we now moved to Florida and whenever we visit the Wilmington area we make sure we visit Caprice bistro. My husband ordered the muscles in the curry sauce and I ordered the beef bourguignon. my husband woke up with severe stomach cramps around 3 o'clock in the morning after eating some of the muscles. I don't know if it's related, but I'm just sharing. My experience with the beef was not a good cut of beef and or not cooked long enough because it was quite tough and chewy. Definitely not what we're used to.

Honestly, this might be my favorite place in town for a good, quality date night. Bare in mind, it is pricey, but it is worth it. As always, we made a reservation, but there was adequate seating on a Thursday. We started with the cheese plate, accompanied by lots of bread! I had the salmon dish and my boyfriend had the duck. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Plus, it was presented beautifully. Our drinks were wonderful, too. I had espresso martinis, and they were just how I like them. My boyfriend enjoyed the brown sugar champagne cocktail. I finished with a glass of champagne and he had a pour of a dessert wine. Oh... dessert. How wonderful it was. I didn't really have lots of room, but we were celebrating and there is always room. I had the creme brûlée and he had the profiteroles. Both were wonderful. Our service was good, but slow. We weren't in a rush but that can be off putting sometimes. Our drinks and water stayed full though and that is where I judge the service! Overall, it was amazing. $200 for an app, two entrees, two desserts, and six drinks; can't complain based on the quality. I can't wait to go back!

When you make a reservation, they give you a time limit for your table and then when the next party gets there early, they move you out of your table. Additionally, without any notice, they add extra fees when using a credit card. Very poorly run.

The real deal Food and service is incredible! Great seafood and French cuisine is outstanding Wine list plentiful! Enjoy.

Had a wonderful dinner at Caprice Bistro on Saturday night. My wife and I shared the Leeks as an appetizer, and I had the Leg of Lamb and my wife had the Waterzool. It was all great! Well done!

One of the best meals of my life. Cheeseboard, bread and oil/evoo. Beef bourgeois (wrong word) and an excellent Bordeaux red wine. Impeccable and non-intrusive wait staff. Crème brûlée and a double cappuccino for dessert. Celebrated today because of a huge win with my consulting firm. Went alone since my fiancé is in Manila. Patricia is warm and inviting. Her husband is a phenomenal and nuanced chef. I yearn to become a regular there this year. You will not regret it. Treat yourself!

Food was excellent as always. Wait service was understaffed, so not as attentive as expected for a restaurant of this caliber. A 3% surcharge was added to bill for using a credit card with no prior notice. Not a biggie but it struck me as nickle and dime for a restaurant of this caliber.

Amazing dinner tonight (8/21/2022) at Caprice Bistro with our neighbors who invited us out to dinner. I had the Waterzooi, which is a house specialty. It was a seafood type stew/sort of a soup with shrimp, scallops, mussels, salmon, flounder in a light cream sauce. Tony had the Le Petit Cochon, pork tenderloin, braised cheeks, with bacon and beer. Our waiter, Drew was friendly and attentive. We shared a wonderful 2018 Bordeaux wine. This is a MUST go-to place for dinner in downtown Wilmington.

Amazing! The food, the service.....outstanding! One of the best meals I've had...... and I eat out more often than I should! The escargot... so good! You definitely need to try. But by far, the star was the waterzooi. Shrimp, mussels, various fish....... all melt in your mouth tender. The fish was like the seafood version of a hot Krispy Kreme donut. The herb cream sauce..... rich, creamy, but not over the top. It is the kind of dish that is so good, you have to force yourself to stop​

Disappointing experience tonight. Service by Elliott leisurely. The fries were uncharacteristically limp. Our entire evening was spoiled by a group of 8 on the other side of the room. They started at the bar, moved to couches where they became very noisy complete with singing, then moved to their table upstairs. We let them know how they inconsiderate they had been when we left. We also told the hostess about our experience and instead of apologizing, she just shrugged and said Americans are noisy. I think we won't go back for the foreseeable future.

Anniversary dinner with another couple was lovely. All entrees, two Trouts, Salmon and Seafood stew were excellent. Service was great and we closed the restaurant with an Expresso martini and crème brûlée. Cocktails were very good and celebratory. Restaurant never disappoints.

Beautiful little French place. Absolutely love to dine and drink here. Wasn't actually my first time here, forgot to post a review the first time! Tonight we all got some lightly dirty martinis with kettle one vodka and no vermouth, and bleu cheese olives. Sooo delightful. We also ordered a serving of escargot that was served in a garlic crème sauce with a toasted baguette. Sadly the photo I got was after we devoured it, but wow was that a treat! 100% recommend to anyone in the area. Delicious and relatable service with a lovely French cuisine.

It is a pleasure to dine at Caprice Bistro, a cozy French restaurant on Market near the riverfront. Start with one of their signature cocktails, like the French 75, then sit back, relax, and let the wonderful staff cater to your every need. The food is lovingly prepared and will satisfy any Francophile. The Meli Melo salad, artisanal greens dressed with a dijon vinaigrette and topped with shaved Parmesan delivers a punch of flavor with every bite. A recent special of local flounder and shrimp a la Provencal, served to remind just how yummy and sweet our North Carolina shrimp taste, especially when cooked to mouth-watering perfection. For a fitting end to the meal, try the expertly scorched creme brûlée. Bliss. Other stellar dishes include the French onion soup, steak frites, Carolina trout, and salmon au vert. Food allergies? No worries, the staff will guide you expertly through the menu, and check with the chef if there's a question they can't answer. The menu helpfully notes GF options, and the kitchen can prepare an alternate sauce if necessary.

I've been to Caprice Bistro twice now with family and have had an incredible experience both times. The restaurant is situated at the heart of downtown historic Wilmington near the river. It has a great ambience and usually requires reservations. Both visits we ordered the escargot as an appetizer. That dish is superb, and at the end, you have a yummy sauce you can use for the bread. For my main dish, I have tried the duck confit, which was absolutely mouthwatering. It's served with greens and mashed potatoes that are similarly delicious. Yesterday, I opted for their flounder special. It had a lemon flavored sauce with capers and topped with shrimp. It was extraordinary! We also got creme brûlée for dessert, and the caramelized sugar had a perfect crisp. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and plan to come again. The prices are reasonable for an upscale experience with excellent quality.

Make reservations. This is a very popular place because the food is scrumptiously delicious!! The service is excellent!! Have been here the last few years during vacation and it's a wonderful experience!!

Well someone in the kitchen has had divine inspiration. The food is heavenly. We had the mushroom soup. Delicious, creamy and full of mushroom goodness. If you are from western PA I put this on par with Longwood Gardens soup! That is saying something! A mistake was made and they delivered a trio appetizer, we tried to decline but after it was on the table we were told it would be free and the apologized. The rabbit sausage was oh my god good, the pate, inspired,and the calamari well cooked, could of been crispier but still good. Another appetizer, the broiled leeks, absolutely yummy! Forget the fried crapes, they were crisp but greasy. Then we split an entree of mussels. Perfect meal! Killer coffee as well!!!!

***FOOD: Ohlala Chef's Kiss to this romantic quaint French Bistro. Almost Perfect meal. FRENCH BREAD -excellent although the balsamic & olive oil dipping (instead of butter) didn't seem very French, more like Italian appetizer; LOBSTER BISQUE- yum divine; assorted charcuterie -PÂTÉ & bread points, cheese & gherkins-very tasty; FOIS GRAS- melt in your mouth good; FROG LEGS (cuisses de grenouille)- good, although the legs had a heavily deep fried batter, so it looked big but had little meat; ESCARGOTS-good but it was in a creamy sauce/soup (not in traditional 6 hole escargot dish & not bathing in garlic butter); DUCK DUET- confit & pan seared w/ orange sauce- very very good cooked perfectly; LAMB SHANK- fall off the bone deliciousness; BEEF SHORT RIBS- OMG so tender and cooked bourguignon style just like the French do so well;. DESSERT TRIO - strawberry MOUSSE -oh wow so smooth and fluffy good; MACARON- have had better, (the best are the Laduree macarons in France, they have a store in DC). PROFITEROL- good (a little too much chocolate overtop & prefer mine with custard inside instead of whipped cream); TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE-ok ( didn't smell or taste the truffle, it was ok chocolate); LEMON SQUARE- good for lemon dessert Think the dessert was a good sampling so it can appeal to all diners (diners bound to like one of the desserts) Would have liked to have had Chocolate Mousse or Crème Brûlée or traditional Soufflé or Île Flottante. All in All nearly perfect dinner as end of the year celebration. also WINE LIST was extensive and superb, found wine hadn't seen in a long time. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$$ very reasonable for all you get in this prix fixe menu; ***DÉCOR: very very cozy French Bistro interior. Sat downstairs main, don't know what the upstairs is like. ***SERVICE: Professional service, Sheena our server was outstanding, very on point, courteous, water filled constantly, excellent wine recommendations, knowledgeable. Food came out hot and exceedingly fast; liked that our mains came and servers set the plate down at the same time, liked that they replaced & gave us fresh plates. Very accommodating & never felt rushed. ***RECOMMEND: TRIPLE YES YES YES HIGHLY RECOMMEND. will definitely be back. Perfect for celebratory dinner, anniversary romantic date dinner or just go every week dinner out because of the excellent food.

Wonderful food and exceptional service by Meakin! Trout and beef bourguignon were delicious. We will be back!

Came for our anniversary dinner, this was our first time here and it was outstanding. Good service and food was incredible. If we are ever in town again we will definitely return.

Service was good. Food was meh. Just meh. Cocktails were great. Overall, based on what we ordered, lamb shank and chicken, I won't be back.

Truly the BEST meal i've ever had. Visited about a week ago and I am STILL thinking about the meal we had. Made a reservation very easily online and had the cutest window table upstairs. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and includes some sofas upstairs by the bar which were perfect for sitting and enjoying a drink before dinner. Service and the drinks were great but the real shinning star was the food! We started our meal with the French Onion Soup (which deserves ALL of the hype) and a salad (which had best tasting shrimp on it! what a surprise!). Both dishes were so delightful and warm and comforting without being too filling. Next we ordered the Mussels with Frites and Seafood Stew for our entrees and were again blown away by the complexity of flavors and just how delicious they both were. Seriously, every part of the seafood stew was cooked perfectly and the fries were the best i've ever had, perfectly crispy, hot and salty! For dessert we ordered the Profiteroles and Espresso Ice Cream and we're once again blown AWAY by the quality of dessert. The Profiteroles were perfectly sweet and rich with the fudge on top and the Espresso Ice Cream was perfectly smooth and bitter to cut through the sweetness. Have been seriously debating driving back down to Wilmington to eat here again, a MUST stop!

We had such a lovely dinner here last night. If they offer the heirloom tomato salad get it!! It was fabulous. The French martini is always my go to cocktail when I'm here. My husband started with calamari which he polished off and was full enough he could have been done. He did however have the duck confit which he also enjoyed. I chose the Beef Bourguignon delicious as always, even in the heat of summer. I always recommend at least trying the cocktail bar upstairs even if you don't eat dinner here. It's a great start or end to your night.

The service and ambiance were excellent. The Boeuf Bourguignon had the consistency of liver. The flavor was good, but it had a mealy texture on chewing.

We went to Caprice this past Sunday. Had early reservations and sat at the bar before going to our table. Our bartender was awesome. Since they weren't too busy quite yet she had some time to chat - we really enjoyed ourselves at the bar. The staff applied no pressure to get to our table so we meandered over about 15 minutes after our scheduled reservation. Our server was super attentive but not hovering. We started with a glass of champaign and the charcuterie board, which was fantastic. My husband followed with the pork cheeks and I had the duck confit. He loved his pork my duck was just so-so. It was just a little tougher than I expected. For dessert we shared the Pistachio Crème Brûlée. Folks, do NOT pass this up. It was amazing. I think I may have even dreamed about it that night. Even the two little macarons served on the side were scrumptious. Overall it was a great experience. If I could give 4.5 stars I would and the only hold back to 5 was my duck.

If you want romantic French, this is the place! Food is wonderful and you can enjoy a cocktail upstairs either waiting or after dinner,

Amazing experience at Caprice tonight in an intimate setting for two. Delicious soups to start the evening with the perfect French bread and olive oil combination! Next the main dishes were scrumptious with the yummiest mash potatoes and veggie combos. The French Rose was a lovely accompaniment to this meal and reasonably priced. To top off the night was one of the most delicious dessert we have ever tasted!!! Nick took great care of us too! Can't wait to go back!!!

This place has incredible ambiance. It's very cozy in there but a little loud and the tables are close to each other. The food was very good . We got the mussels and they were good but needed salt big time. I got the duck it was very good but needed more sauce. My wife got the trout which she said also needed salt. Our waitress was really professional and nice. We both got the red Bordeaux which was excellent. The coffee ice cream dessert with espresso was off the chart's delicious.

Calamari was great, fresh and not chewy. Arugula with pear salad was good. Could have used more slices of pear, but still a good salad. My wife ordered the Waterzooi and it also was a good dish of seafood. Definitely will revisit this restaurant when we return to Wilmington

Words cannot express how delicious this place is so I must sing it!!!! Lol the food and price are exceptional!! It's so good I even tried the escargot!!! No I am not a fan of escargot but I will play for the team if it's served here! My fiancé speaks French so he enjoyed the communication with the sweetest hostess you could have in a genuine conversation. We came here for our anniversary and his birthday since they are a day apart and enjoyed every second of it. I will be back and highly recommending this establish to anyone I know!!!

Takeout Review - Caprice used to be our Favorite Restaurant in Wilmington - NO Longer - Took out 2 dishes last week for my Birthday: Beef Bourguignon & Norwegain Salmon. - Ratings - Beef was grade = B, the Salmon was grade = F. The Beef dish was pretty good, the beef was a bit tough, not tender & flaky as in the past. The Salmon was TERRIBLE - totally Dry and Tasteless. Wife is from Norway, who knows what fresh, moist, properly cooked salmon looks & tastes like. this salmon was murdered by having been overcooked. Caprice owners should ensure chefs know how to properly prepare quality & expensive Salmon, instead of overcooking it. - Sad to give up on our prior Fav restaurant.

Loved the vibe here, went for an anniversary dinner in early July. I recommend going at sunset for the best view and to miss the heat of the day. The service was amazing and the food was just as good. Decent prices for it being "fancy" paid about $80 for two people, only one drink and no desert. Will be coming back next time I'm in Wilmington!
