The food was outstanding! We had the mussels as an appetizer along with escargot and French onion soup-all were delicious. Our entrees were even better, and we left full and thoroughly satisfied! And our martinis were perfect-I had the French martini, husband had the dirty martini and friends had espresso martinis.

Loved the new chairs and decor upstairs. Service was struggling, think they need more training. Trout and Grouper were excellent, but vegetables were skimpy. My Manhattan was nice, but the sparkling rose was way overpriced, and we decided not to have another drink due to that. Still a classic place and we will return.

This was our first time eating at Caprice Bistro, and it was just wonderful! The tomato tart was delicious, and our entrees were equally fantastic! (Trout and Beef Bourguignon). Our waiter was very attentive and answered all questions about the menu. He was just delightful! We will definitely go back the next time we are in Wilmington!

Caprice is a really good place, the ambience was very nice, decorated in old French style, our waitress Lauren was very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials and was very attentive to our table. The food was cooked to order and cooked to perfection, if you like old style French food its the place to go!
