This is a special place with exceptional food, atmosphere, and service. While reservations are a good idea at many upscale restaurants in this area, Capri does not appear to take reservations, and instead greeted us warmly and found a table for our party. I could not resist the elegant but easy design of the dining room and bar (see pic). Our server was friendly and informative without being intrusive. We started with hibiscus margaritas that were served, like the water, in a charming pair of hand-etched glasses. (Presentation was lovely across the board. See more pics.)
The white anchovies were delicious, although the olive and spicy pepper served with them weren't my favorite. The marinated watermelon radishes were served to look like a giant bloom, and had a wonderful flavor. Neither of these was a very filling item, of course, so we also had the tempura yucca blossoms, which was my favorite item. They were served in a cone made from the Capri menu with a dipping sauce. I cannot recommend them more highly. We also had the chapulines tacos, which were nice with a very strong smokey flavor. Chocolate ice cream was served with small wooden spoons and Vietnamese cinnamon, and was the perfect finish.
Afterward, we wandered around in the garden outside. We sat down at one of the fire pits, and a friendly man (maybe an owner or manager?) came up and offered to take our group's picture (we had a camera out) and added some kindling to the fire. The garden also has hammocks, a water fixture, and an assortment of flora. After the perfect tasting meal and cocktails, we enjoyed sitting and talking in the outdoor space.
My friend and I were in town on vacation during the week, so I don't know what the weekend scene would be like at Capri. Dinner here was a standout to a fantastic trip, and I hope I have the chance to return someday.
