Reviews of Capers & Lemons (Restaurant)

Yang li

Fancy restaurant with awesome services. We ordered read board with spicy Pepper, egg drop soup as appetizer. Pasta, Tuna, and Short rib as entree. American style flavor. A little bit salty with sour taste. Good looking dish, healthy made.

Nick Davis

Nice, upscale place with good prices, great food and fantastic service.

Tim Smith

A very enjoyable evening, walked in at 6 w/ no reservations so we had a glass of cab and a cheese plate at the bar, which was really good. Service at the bar was great; attentive and fast. Could have ordered our meal if we wished. Our table was ready exactly when they said. Tuna was cooked perfectly, mussels diablo special really good as well. Fresh bread really crunchy. If you dont want to wait, make reservations, otherwise enjoy the bar. Service all around attentive and professional. Fun atmosphere.

Mark Deaver

Good food. Beer menu way sub-par. But its an Italian place so good wine selection. Evens out.

Cindy Zagorskie

Calamari was very bland. Shrimp scampi appetizer was very dry. Dinner however was perfect clams and linguini and bracoile. We had to get up from our table to go to the bar for another drink

Robert Ross

Excellent food and service

Colin England

Went here for my dad's 70th birthday dinner. We were a party of 8. Ordered apps and dinner together. Apps came out in 10-15 min, but then we waited for our dinner for at least an hour. The waitress never acknowledged the wait, said she was checking on it, never apologized. The manager came out while we were waiting and said he was sorry and it was coming out soon, but it took another 20 min after that. We had our 4- and 6-yr old too. Which made it harder. Eventually during our ridiculous wait, we asked for one of the wine bottles to be comped. The waitress rolled her eyes, but then the manager came over and said he would comp it. The food finally came out and it was mediocre. My plate of pasta was very hot, obviously under a warmer for a long time. Overall pretty bad experience and won't be going back.

Mary Kaye Nickel

The food was good but the service wasn't great. The server did not refill my water. My father had to ask for a lemon for his refilled ice tea.

Rashida Hamlin

Nice place to have dinner for my anniversary.

Mark Mattson

Nice place pleasant environment, good drinks, decent service, and fantastic food. Appetiser portions were a bit small imo, so get many if sharing with a larger group. We had 6 in ours and 3 apps didn't give full table coverage, but the main dishes were fantastic. I had the short ribs and was VERY happy with my selection. As were the others at my table, all left satisfied and happy. All in all a very pleasant evening and will keep it in mind if ever doing dinner down in Delaware again.

Angela Smith Henry

Close to work and convenient for lunch or happy hour that starts at 4:30. Good happy hour specials, good homemade pasta.

Joe Sebestyen

Great Italian restaurant, hidden in a residential area. Highly recommend.

Xavier

The food was good, but the service was slow.

Holly Hagerman

Perfect service, great food! Just wish the main courses were bigger.

ADrunken Ewok

Food... amazing. Service... fast and friendly. Great happy hour specials and a nice atmosphere!

Blair Dickerson

Nice food and drinks. There's even an advantage to having an upscale-ish restaurant being 'off the beaten path." The downside, when full, is that the open floor plan and acoustics contribute to a less than desirable dining experience.

CMPT PAD

Really nice place for dinner, easy to find, food was good B+ to A-, recommended

Karem Hernandez

Always delicious food and professional and friendly staff. Great for date night!

Gretchen Hansen

Excellent!! Everything from the greeting at the door, to the service, wine selection and delicious variety of Italian fare. May I also add that the Lemon cello martini is to die for!! As is the Tiramisu! Our server Kelly was am absolute doll. Very friendly yet professional! Again I say Excellent!! Thank you!

Joshua Clayton

First Yest

very relaxing great Italian food.

Stephanie Greenhill

Great food and great sevice! I didn't give 5 stars because there wasn't a changing table for babies in the bathroom.

joy caulk

Food was good. Best calamari I have ever had. The wait staff was amazing and very accommodating to our large group. Drinks were good as well.

Haley Cunningham

Food was absolutely delicious. The staff is kind and friendly and the service is fast! Love going here for lunch! I recommend the skillet cookie if you have a chance to go!

Lowell Trescott

Love this place. Great drinks and food. Eliza is our favorite. She always remembers our names and favorite drinks. See you soon.

linda clifton

My neighbor's went and we all enjoyed it

Maria Castiglioni

Nice atmosphere and good food. Very popular place. Recommend for either a quiet dinner for two or for larger parties.

Bill Everitt

Great service. Food choices were exceptional.

Joseph Moore

Upscale Italian played safe. Good place to take work colleagues, as there will be no surprises, but food is very good. A bit overpriced. Highly recommend the Panna cotta dessert.

Harry Sethi

I have dined here few times and have also ordered take out for 10-15 people several times. They always seem to get my order right and they have been quick with service. They have couple of really good things on the menu. I particularly like the lasagna.

Kay Magilavy

Wonderful private party. The food and drink were fabulous, and they capably managed everyone's food preferences.

Judy Bardy

Truly a totally enjoyable place.

Brian Kamens

I've been here a few times and the food is very good. It's is certainly an upscale italian restaurant and most folks are dressed business casual. It is right next to a new parking garage so probably not the best location the ambiance. However, once inside, it is nicely decorated. There is a small market that you can shop in so you don't necessarily go just to dine.

Lauren Gabriel

Probably the greatest restaurant experience I have had since moving to Delaware. For an appetizer we had a garlic bread with parmesan and truffle butter which was so delicious I had to savor every bite. Their pappardelle with pork ragú and baby arugula was fresh, tender, and the arugula still had a little bit of a crunch to it. The Romano encrusted chicken was perfectly crispy and still juicy in the center, the tomato cream sauce a perfect compliment. For dessert we had a skillet baked cookie (I forget the name) with fudge, caramel, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream. Every bite was sweet and heavenly. We asked for a sweet but not TOO sweet wine, and were recommended a reisling, which did not disappoint. Whatever scale you could use, this place gets the top score from us. On top of everything, the service was wonderful. Tip: make a reservation.

Lee Roskam

Quality food. Pleasant environment. Noisy when very busy. Steady activity

Liang Wen Chen

Great service and good food. The food isn't as authentic as other restaurants but it is very high quality. I'm giving this place 5 stars because the service is so good. Staff is very accommodating and they also are very hospitable. I just wasn't as impressed with the pasta dishes.

Kristen Lantz

Amazing food. Attentive service. Very busy even on a Tuesday night. Make reservations before you go. This place is a mile from my house and I never knew home great it was until tonight. Will definitely be going back!

Rashawn Dixon

The food and service is great

Lori Rideout

Great food. The decor was very nice. Our service was excellent. I will definitely eat there again.

Michael Murray

Consistently great food and service!

Rebecca Panichelli

Great food and service, nice atmosphere.

B Thomas

This place outstanding. The food was awesome and the service was incredible. We left redfire grill, same owners, after not being waited on. The staff at capers and lemons definitely redeemed the night for us.

Luis Garrido

Good place and quality Italian food

Joseph Facciolo

Great food

Greg Jadlocki

Awesome service by Anthony! And, the food was perfect! If you haven't been here you need to try it!

Michael Johnson

Food was great. Service was excellent. I just wish the portions were just a little bit larger.

Patrick Nicholson

Food was excellent.

Ravneet Randhawa

Nice fine dining restaurant. Great service. Good food

Peter Trouba

Food quality can be compared to that of Olive Garden, but the atmosphere was quite upscale, with proper lighting to create the nice ambiance. Good service, but mildly expensive.

Elsa Smith

Food took 45 min to come out

Barbara Costanzo

Delicious but noise level makes for challenging conversation.

Philip Pappajohn

The seared tuna entre was excellent. However, something had a big loading of MSG which I am sensitive to unfortunately. No harm done.

Kim Beeson

Our new fav. Can't believe we waited so long to go here. Food comes hot, fresh and so yummy. Atmosphere is great as is the drink menu.

Michael Baranowski

The menu items we chose were delicious and the waiter was very attentive to our dining needs and a good conservationist. The atmosphere was modern but very comfortable. Both my spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining inexperience. Because of the atmosphere a causal dress code is more appropriate.

Liz A

Good food generous portions.

Terry Oconnell

Delicious! A little on the pricey side but well worth it. Excellent service. Patio is open!

Theresa Reid

It was my first time there. The food was amazing! The pasta was so fresh and delicious. The service was the best. Our server was Kelly and she was on top of everything. The atmosphere is great for conversations. I will definitely be back.

Denice Baker

Amazing Food and Great Service

Suzanne Wright

Food was good. WATCH OUT FOR THE STEP ON THE WAY TO THE MEN'S ROOM!! TO LOUD could barely hear my dinner guests

Ryan Jones

It was pretty good. I forget the name of the dish I got but it is pictured below! It was overall very good, but I would’ve preferred different seasoning on the chicken.

Josefina Jeker

Food was great and drinks were even better.

Lee Pizzini

Good food, no doubt. Trying to get Lemon slices for your water or soda seems almost impossible. Go figure...

Stephanie Hutchison Maahs

Food good, atmosphere ehhhh. The music was blaring and didn't quite match the ambiance. I asked if it could be turned down, but it never did. Stinks I really wanted to go on a date night here but after that business lunch, I won't be returning.

Kyle Rosin

High class food for a great price!

Brian

Pizza is very bad here. Other dishes ok.

Carter O'Leary

Our server josh gave incredible service. Food all came out fantastic. Loved the cookie at the end. My Lord.

rob cappelletti

Visit about once per month. It's about a 40 minute drive, but always worth it. Shrimp and pasta turned out perfect this past Friday. Grace was a delight.

Ruth Finney

Always a wonderful time. Our server didn't make a mistake and there was at least 15 of us! It goes without saying the food was superb!

samantha stemm

Such a great spot! The menu is simple yet tasty featuring very fresh ingredients and pasta. The bar is wonderful for a happy hour spot yeah the dining room is both formal enough for a fancy dinner and Casual enough for a quick bite for lunch

David K Fauser Jr.

This place is closer than I thought I went a couple times and it was really nice both times for lunch

Sarah Jones

Food is just okay

Joyce Irwin

Good dinner. Great service! Nice atmosphere.

Stephen Maloney

Great food. A must go

Robert Densten

Always the best food and service

Chip Slanina

Don't miss the meatballs! Perfection. Makes an awesome appetizer.

Gretchen Kennedy

Minimal gluten-free options (even the "Pasta-less Eggplant Lasagna" contained breadcrumbs that couldn't be worked around, at least not at 6 p.m. (packed house) on a Saturday), but the short ribs with risotto were outstanding! In the summer, the shrimp & roasted corn salad is to die for. Nice wine selection, too.

Michael Hynansky

The food is incredible. All of the Georigi restaurants are very well run, tastefully appointed and serve excellent food. Delaware is lucky to have their restaurants.

David Rager

First time there. Had lasagna not good. Wife had seafood and pasta. She loved it. I would try it again because the food menu is diverse. Pleasant staff that were there always asking if you needed anything. Big drawback is the bathroom. Dirty. Only one toilet you would not want to use. And one urinal. For a supposedly up scale place it fails. Staff 5 stars. Overall 3 stars. 1 star if you need to use the restroom.

Lauren Kingsley

Good service but overpriced

Sandy Sorensen

Always a good meal and a great go to restaurant

John Gianotti

Probably some of the best service I have ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommended. Food is top notch!!

Vahid Jahed

A little out of the way but worth the trip

Betsy S

Was seated right away. Prices are high for the food portions. Had to send my boyfriend's dinner back as it was dry and bland. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Byron Vance

The food is always good!! Waiter was average. Took a long time to take our order. We had to request bread for the table. Then it happened!! It took us almost 45 minutes to get our entrees after ordering! There is obviously a problem in the kitchen because all the tables around us also got there meals late. 3 stars because I like the food here. But, another experience like tonight and I will scratch this place off my list of places to go!!

Karim A

Rick is a phenomenal server whose attention to detail provided for a wonderful experience. The food was great (I ordered the purple fingerling gnocchi and braised beef special) and the recommendations for wine and beer were spot on.

john brady

Great food great service

Shirleen Cromartie

This restaurant was awesome...the food was well flavored and there was a nice variety. There was a bar area yet you would never know it as the sound from there was not heard within the restaurant. Our server Bill was knowledgeable about the menu items as well as making suggestions in regards to what we might like. This was our first time there an we were celebrating my brothers birthday. A good time was had by all and the manager nick even checked in to make sure our first experience was a good one. It was and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience.

Stephanie Thomas

Great food,and atmosphere. Always busy.

Paul Czerwin

Above average casual dinning establishment for the area. Excellent presentation with attention to customer from seating through the courses. Food was delicious.

Michael Dubbs

My 2 experiences here have been very nice. Our last server, Alicia, was the best ever. 5 stars.

Martin Lavin

I don't go there very often. When I walked in tonight, the bartender automatically poured me a beer of my preference. He also knew that I was going to have the calamari. He knew my name, he knew my preferences, I felt welcome, and at home. What a wonderful experience. The calamari is fantastic! Anthony is impressive and intelligent. What a great bartender!

Rick Baun

Great food and great service!

Brett Costello

Love this place! Casual atmosphere, great food and decent wine list, all without breaking the budget. My wife loves the little attached market. It's our go-to for take-out as well.

Terri Parker

What a great experience! The server Anthony was awesome. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and we love going there for any occasion. We will definitely request Anthony again.

dave claney

Absolutely delicious, with very fast service.

Amanda Lebeau

It was ok..nothing amazing. Atmosphere was nice but food not so much.

Samir Pathak

I have been here many times for business meal and family dinner. Overall good ambiance, very good italian food made with some local ingredients. Good presentation and they have local market too.

Annalise Brown

Quality Italian entrees, amazing desert, and tasty starters. Bread oil and spices are given as a starter. The overall food is great.

Veronica Dubin

We were underwhelmed with their takeout. It was an uncomfortable experience simply placing the order! I was hassled to "get the bread" "get the bread" "get the bread". My husbands pizza was mediocre, my daughters pasta was terribly under seasoned and the braciole was tough and dry. I was very surprised, especially after reading so many glowing reviews.

Om Dixit

Good service

Crusher Carmean

Really good food. Not too pricey either. Excellent desserts.

frank moore

Outstanding restaurant! Food and service were both excellent. Food is delicious and the give you big portions for the money.

Kaihan Moore

Food/watress/atmosphere were all 10/10..recommend the chicken and mashed potatoes

Dom Fierro

Great modern food cuisine. Cry trendy

Jim Custer

I've been here 2x, and the staff, food, drinks and atmosphere are all the best. I am also wheelchair bound. They are completely accessible, and very gracious / accommodating. Very highly recommended.

APHS Reunion

I went here with a group of 7 for lunch 2/2/19. I was looking forward to it because a couple of people I know had told me how good it was. First of all, it is hard to find if you never have been here before. They need some signs. When I went in, the first thing I noticed was the LOUD music. This wasn't background "dining" music, but rock music. I like rock music, but when I go to a nice restaurant with cloth service, I do NOT expect to be blasted with music that I would hear at a happy hour or a sports bar. They did turn it down when I complained. For lunch, I ordered the Chicken Piccata, a dish I have had many times in Italian restaurants, and even make at home sometimes. What I was served was tough and dry. It had not even been pounded down to a uniform thickness. It seemed that they had just taken some chicken breasts and with no further preparation, had precooked them and then heated up in the microwave which would explain them being tough and dry. The sauce, which should have had a "tang" to it was some bland glop with a slight hint of lemon. At an upscale restaurant, I expect an upscale dining experience. This most certainly was NOT!!!!

Alireza Saboori

Good food. Great service. Portions should be a little larger. But the taste and quality of the food was very good. This place does get very packed for lunch, so call ahead and reserve. Parking is sometimes an issue too. But if you get in early, you should be fine.

Debbie Griffith-Brown

Fail #1 - waiter started pushing for upcharge bread. We were served house bread that was so stale that it must have been made a week ago. Fail #2 - I ask for extra dressing on my Caesar Salad. Not because I just wanted it. I have a medical condition where I don’t produce saliva. Instead I got a salad with heavy lemon. It was awful. Fail #3 - I ordered the Cannolini with creamy tomato sauce. Not only was there no cream in the sauce the ends of the Cannolini were very crispy and over cooked. Fail #4 - my mom, whose birthday it was, ordered the ravioli. Aldendi is one thing but this stuff was basically inedible. Recommendation: Go some where else. I know I won’t be back.

Dian Kelly Carroll

This is only our 2nd visit and loved it just as much as the first.

Charles Fleming

Nice ambiance couples or groups.

Bethann Deveney

Food and service outstanding.... parking not so much! My husband and I decided to celebrate Fat Tuesday at Caper's and Lemon's. When we pulled into the parking lot, there was not one parking space. Drove around the parking lot 4xs, and still none. Drove to parking garage near by hoping that maybe that was an option, it was not. Returned to parking again, driving around twice, and decided to park in a no parking area since I sent my husband in to be seated for dinner. Luckily someone was about to pull out and I grabbed that spot. I did see people doing the same thing, and left the parking area, appearing they would dine somewhere else. I shared my frustrations with the server when I finally sat down at our table. I was told there were two large parties (looked like business) and that must be why. If you've never been to Capers and Lemons, there literally are NO off street parking options, this restaurant is in business center and no open parking lots, just parking garages without public Access. Luckily the meal was outstanding and the Server was excellent!

Edward Hernandez

Good food and the servers are very friendly. A little bit pricey.

Lucas Grant

Stephen Pomraning

Always creative and delectable entrees served with appropriate style. Service was agonizing slow at our last visit - not the wait staff, but the kitchen. Warn not to go if you have any time constraint.

Kevin Vreken

Food is ok but very pricey for what you get

Max Powers

Great food and atmosphere. Food and service was terrific.

gayle raysor

The atmosphere was quiet and nice. The waitress was knowledgeable and pleasant. The food was perfect and the dessert was heavenly. All in all it was a perfect place to dine with family and have a wonderful experience. A little pricey, but worth it !!!

Rita C.

I love this restaurant. Excellent food, service, atmosphere. My kids love it too!

Ruth Openstone

The cocktails and service were very good. The housemade pasta dishes sounded wonderful on the menu, but were very bland due to a lack of seasoning. The Caesar salad was excellent.

Kenya Myers

I went to this restaurant back in February and it was great. The food and drinks were EXCELLENT. When I’m in that part of town again I’ll definitely be eating there. I wish they had one in New Jersey.

Nelson Murray

Superior food and service.

Nice happy hour

Doug Beatson

Capers & Lemon's is always a good time, with good food

Jane jordan

Capers and Lemons is a great restaurant. Their menu is varied and changes to a dish like adding spinach etc. are invited. We have never had anything but super service with a smile. Our best server John, remembers all particulars for his customers. C&L is consistently good and our guests have been very pleased asking to go back when visiting us.

Paul Pinson

Good coffee. Wife and I shared a chicken piccata; delicious and provided the small portions we were looking for. Sunday noise level was low, fine for conversation. Lunch partners enjoyed brunch steak and eggs, salad, sandwich.

Amanda Grygiel

Delicious food, friendly and courteous staff, mellow and inviting atmosphere Would highly recommend

Mandy Squires

I've eaten here twice while visiting Wilmington . Both times the food and service were phenomenal.

Ashley Griffith

Loved their salads

Neil Douen

The service was excellent and food was really good!

David Pusey

So tasty and accommodating to dietary restrictions!

Wayne Ferguson

We had a 5:30 reservation. We entered the restaurant and the hostess was on the phone... Stood there for a good 3+ minutes without her ever looking up or acknowledging us, - then it took 15 minutes for a waiter to arrive, once he arrived he was excellent. Salad and soup came out in a reasonable amount of time and was good, then we waited 45 minutes for our entrees which were only warm and at best mediocre. We will not be returning.

Tauilei McPherson

Food was artfully crafted to perfection. Our waitress was the best in the business!

Frank Parker

This place is always packed & the food is always excellent!

Excellent food. Ingredients tasted fresh. Very friendly and courteous staff.

Trebs Thompson

Accommodating chef for my celiacs. Very attentive wait staff. The suggested wine was an excellent pairing.
