   The food and service were great. My only complaint is that they charged $5 for bread. With the prices they charge for food I think the bread should come with the dinner.

    The most delicious crab cake ever tasted, on polenta with asparagus cooked nice and crisp. The appetizer with goat cheese (perfection), roasted garlic, tape nave, eggplant, roasted pepper delicious. French bread also perfect.

    Perfect dinner out for my husband and I. Our first time here and we will be back! The calamari was the best we’ve ever had, the beet tower was amazing, the grouper special melted in your mouth and the crabby scallops were delicious! Can’t wait to come back and try more!

    I was disappointed the French bread was fresh but old. I order it each time I visit and it was not freshly baked that day but left over. My companion noticed it as well. Very disappointing especially since our lunch order tab is ually over $100.00 each time we visit. I recommend Perfect Caper to friends and have initiated many friends visits there. Very sad for this occur.

    Haven’t been here for a while. So very nice to see the meals still, do not disappoint. From the appetizer, Tuscan picnic, to the salads and entrees. My wife really enjoyed her Pig N The Fig and my Crab-cake were extremely tasty. Olga, our server was great. Really enjoyed our Mothers Day lunch.

    We found this place in a random google search and made reservations. We were visiting from Chicago and staying at a hotel nearby. We come from one of the best food cities in the world and we go out often. The Perfect Caper was absolutely outstanding. The food was phenomenal; we got the Duck entree and the Moroccan lamb. We also had the steamed mussels for an app. This was clearly a seasoned and professional chef with experience in fine dining. We had a wonderful experience and we highly recommend! The prices are very reasonable for a fine dining experience, but you should expect to spend more than the average restaurant. This is a great special occasion place. We will definitely return when we come back to town!

    Today, my friend and I had lunch at the Perfect Caper. We both order the Cob Salad. For $16.00 each, we received a small bowl with shredded lettuce with a vinaigrette dressing and a small cherry tomato. Nothing else. Our server indicated that is the chef's interpretation of a Cob Salad. The salad was so pathetic it was laughable.

    It was a little confusing to get there due to the many one way streets. The very unremarkable, southwestern looking building opened to a very cosmopolitan looking dining room. The perimeter was lined with very tall booths. Although they afforded much privacy they also completely cut off any possibility of viewing the rest of the space. Next time I will request a table. Waitstaff was promp in taking out drink orders but delivery was a bit long. We ordered 2 appies and they were delicious! (Pate and calamari). The menu is extensive. The specials menu included one appetizer, one salad and one entree. Dinners were grouper - a special, pork chop, mushrooms pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meals which were beautifully presented. We didn't have dessert. We will definitely go back!

    I had to drink water, due to poor beer selection. Never been to a med-high end restaurant that didn't have some good draft beer and "at least" bottled Blue Moon, Shock Top or another good wheat beer. Very disappointed with beer selection, for such a nice restaurant! I would recommend, but give a heads up on the poor beer choice.

    Walking in, the young lady greeted us (and by my name) even though we were about five minutes early; she quickly brought us to our table for 5 and offered us, individually, two types of water. Next, our server arrived and introduced himself while explaining the nightly specials in detail to each side (end?) of the table. The dining room was full and it was busy but not too loud. The lighting was pretty low... I didn't realize how low until I walked outside for a moment after our appetizers.... but it was perfect. Moving on to the food.... I can only say this, there is none better. Everything was magnificent! Perfectly! I would have changed only one thing..... I wish the calamari was on a huge plate with perfectly seasoned perfectly cooked fish was overflowing.. At the end of our meal, Chef came to our table and chatted for a few. It was funny because as we were walking from the car, despite the fact we've been here before I couldn't recall where the door was, Chef was in the parking lot and thought we were going somewhere else and reminded us there was private parking. She then showed us the way to the door; while walking towards the door I made a comment about The Caper having a parking attendant with its small lot (I didn't recognize her!). When Chef came to the table she joked about being the Chef and part time parking attendant! I was relieved she found the humor in my comment. We brought friends with us from out of state and they were blown away! The Perfect Caper is my all time favorite night-out! We can't do it often due to cost, which is worth EVERY penny, so I don't want the prices to turn anyone off. It will be the BEST dinner you have! This eatery stands out in our little town and I am extremely appreciative to Chef for coming to Punta Gorda, FL.

    Everything we drank and ate was incredible. We arrived early for our reservation, so had a drink at the bar, then had an appetizer and dessert for the table and four entrees. We were all very satisfied with everything we ordered. The service was outstanding and the staff were professional, friendly, and accommodating. In my opinion, it is worth the price to enjoy an amazing meal or celebrate a special occasion. High recommend!

    There were five of us gals having dinner together. We had drinks at the bar, then appetizers, dinner and dessert at the table. All were exquisitely delicious. It’s a little too dark inside for my taste but the food and service make it worthwhile. A couple of the gals bought the chef’s cookbook so Jeannie, the chef, sat with us to graciously autograph the cookbooks. It was a great experience.
