Caprice Bistro

Great staff and great food. Highly recommend. Happy Valentine’s!!

We had an enjoyable pre-Valentine's dinner at Caprice. Steak Frites were good - although the medium rare steak was more like a medium steak. Dessert was delicious.

Amazing food & service & so pleased to meet owner who greeted us.

Always a great dining experience. One of our favorite restaurants.

Love this restaurant!! Food is always great, service is attentive, ambiance is terrific and all at a good value. Highly recommend.

Intimate atmosphere. We sat upstairs. Mussels are a treat and a great value! My salad, endive, and his onion tart app were superb! His scallops- amazing. Great place in lovely Downtown Wilmington!

Once again, a fabulous dinner experience in the best restaurant in Wilmington NC. A consistent menu with superb European undertones and highly efficient servers makes this restaurant the best of the bests not only in Wilmington but also everywhere else in NC.
The food is delicious, the wine selection is excellent, and the desserts are supreme. I have been in this restaurant numerous times and I had never a bad experience.

Food was outstanding . Service was fantastic. Chairs were not the most comfortable. Overall a keeper.

I had a late reservation and closed the restaurant. The service was gracious and unhurried. The food was EXCELLENT

Entire dining experience was wonderful!

Always reliably good.

We were warmly welcomed immediately upon entering, with a birthday being noted. Service by Jay and Jessica was outstanding; very personable and professional. They, and the excellent meal(s), made for any extremely enjoyable experience. There is only one opportunity to make a great first impression and Caprice certainly hit the mark. We hope to return again soon.

We've been enjoying special dinners at Caprice Bistro for over 15 years and, like good wine, it just gets better with age.

Always a pleasure. Patricia is welcoming and trains her staff to treat guests warm and professional. Food is perfection!

Excellent Chef and staff

Consistently a gastric treat. Good value & service.

Very nice. Great food.

My favorite restaurant in or around Wilmington for French cuisine. It never disappoints!

Another wonderful dinner at Caprice. Excellent food and drinks with friendly professional service. One of the best restaurants in the Wilmington NC area. Go and taste for yourself.

If you like French bistro style food, this is it. Had the menu been in French, we could easily have thought we were in the countryside of France. The owners are equally pleasant.

I have been coming to Caprice Bistro from Raleigh since the first winter it opened. It was incredibly wonderful then and never disappoints. The food is delectable, well prepared, authentic French cooking. The wait staff is friendly, attentive, and gracious. Patrice, the owner along with her husband, is always welcoming and accommodating. It is a joy to go to such a delightful spot.
I brought my teenaged son for the first time on Sunday evening and he was blown away by how much he enjoyed the food. Each dish was better than the last and he thanked me repeatedly for bringing him to Caprice.
This is easily the very best restaurant in Wilmington. Thank you!

One of the finest restaurants in NC. It was a cold night out so whenever the door opens the breeze is very uncomfortable... there is a curtain but people pull it back to pass thru and staff doesn't bother to close it. Unfortunate. I think the noise level is a little high for this fine of a restaurant.
The food is absolutely outstanding. The service was very good and the waiter knew the menu and made some very good observations.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic dinner. Started out with a french martini which was so good. We shared the escargo appetizer and the sauce alone makes you salivate. So yummy. I had the crepes and my husband had the pork tenderloin. The food is fantastic. Had a great time. Thank you all so much. We will be back.

Just ok, a little disappointed in the calamari. Service was great. beef not tender, sauce good. Just ok. And too loud for conversation. Service was great.

This restaurant is a gem. French bistro atmosphere and food was outrageously wonderful. This will be a regular for us !

Mushroom Crepe and Goat Cheese Creme Brûlée were to die for. Great waiter!!

Caprice is a favorite!! The staff is amazing, and the food is wonderful!

Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. I had the soup de jour which was a delicious cream of mushroom. My husband got the French onion soup, which I tasted. He liked it but I thought the broth wasn't very rich. More like a chicken stock. I would not order it on another visit. Hubby loved his beef bbourguignon. I had duck Condit a la orange that was a little dry, the potatoes placed under it were tasty but a little greasy, the orange gastric was not very orange or plentiful, The heirloom cherry tomatoes with the salad that's served on the plate were unripe. Plate was also stone cold. Creme broulee was to die for. Chef did a great job caramelzing the sugar too! Hubby loved the triple chocolate mousse! We will definitely go again but I will try something else next time.

Excellent all around. Caprice has never failed to provide excellent food at a good value. A true gem l, we are happy to have this bistro in our town.

Simply the best. Food is spectacular, atmosphere second-to-none, service is top-notch! Went for wife's birthday, as we do every year and it was a great overall experience. She had mussels and I had the Lobster Bisque for starters. Best lobster bisque I have eaten and I have traveled extensively. Main course orders were steak frites and coq au vin. Both exceeded expectations.

Robert my waiter was fantastic ! Great time and delicious food! Party of 1 - comfortable !

We had a reservation at 8:30 . When we arrived, there was just a table available in a busy intersection . The hostess moved us as soon as another table came available. We didn’t even ask . That was very nice . We came about 3 years ago for our birthdays . We loved the food , so we came back this year . We live about 2 hours away . We were very happy we came back . The cocktails we perfect . I got the lobster bisque , and it was good . I got the Chicken Ballotine and my wife got the duck . We were bother very happy . I love the portion sizes . It isn’t too much or too little . We had chocolate cake to end the meal . Thank you . We will see you guys again soon !

Very reminiscent of a real French Bistro. Intimate, close tables however relatively quiet. I would give this a 10 if not for the fact we waited 15 minutes before being acknowledged by our waitress and then another 15 minutes before 2 of the 4 drinks arrived and another 10 minutes (with prompting) for the other two drinks to arrive. Having said that: the drinks were perfect; two cosmos, one manhattan and one rob roy.

The food is excellent, priced accordingly and inventive. Overall we will be back, perhaps asking for a different waitress.

We always enjoy our visits to Caprice Bistro. The service and French cuisine are exceptional.

They do a very good job here. The kitchen is outstanding, all the French Classics and Daily Specials. Delicious, but try to save room for Desert.

The Caprice is really two venues, Downstairs is more formal, like a petite NY Brasserie.
Upstairs is more Bohemian, a lively bar, some comfortable, upholstered chairs and couches, and a few nice tables. Early birds can get some half price apps at the bar, and they serve late enough to accommodate diners who attended all but the most self indulgent theatre.

This Family operated, Owners in the house, Bistro will take fine care of you.

We celebrated our 43rd anniversary last week at Caprice Bistro and we had an absolutely lovely evening. The waiter was very attentive and enthusiastic, the food and wine were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented, and the restaurant's ambiance was cozy and quiet (we were seated by the front window downstairs). When we met the owner, Patricia, we told her we now have a new favorite Wilmington restaurant for special occasions. I heartily recommend you try this restaurant if you haven't yet - you will not be disappointed.

We picked a place close to the hotel we stayed at and it was an excellent find. Great French cuisine very diverse menu. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend this place. Our waiter was very good too.

Waiter was highly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The owner is a delight, welcoming everyone. The food is outstanding. The ambiance is relaxing and you can hear each other talk. The mussels in particular are wonderful. This was my second visit and it won't be my last.

Nice place with a decent menu. Recommend calling ahead to get the specials and if you get good service remember the name for follow on visits. Our service experience was mediocre and the restaurant was out of many of their food and beverage choices.

We love Caprice Bistro
