Capers is a wonderful restaurant and we highly recommend it. We used to live two blocks away a decade ago and would visit in person and do take out. We started going there from when it first opened. Tonight we were in the neighborhood and ate dinner. I started with a Grey Goose vodka martini which was 9/10. It was perfectly dry, with a real twist of lemon, and ice crystals floating on top. The chicken parmesan is the best I’ve ever had. It is panko crusted which made it crispy, cheesy, tomato-y, and delicious. The standard side is mashed potatoes (which I’ve previously had) but I substituted penne which made it awesome. My wife had the steak salad which she loves. The disappointment is the cheesecake which is tasteless and as heavy as a boat anchor. Sorry Cam. However, the mixed berries Sabayon is amazing. The berries, cream, and wine has a sophisticated taste and is incredible. Finally, the coffee is smooth and satisfying.

Capers is one of my all time favorite restaurants! Their food is always delicious and perfectly prepared. They have a great menu with many wonderful dishes including vegetarian and gluten free options. You will not be disappointed!!
The vibe at Capers is always upbeat and lively. They have a full bar offering happy hour specials.
I’ve hosted many awesome parties at their San Jose location and can’t wait to host another great event!

I was told that we could watch football…I spent 70 dollars for 2 draft beers, dinner and disrespectful owners. They were big mad I had nfl on my phone and they couldn’t put it on their TV’S. Very very old clientele. No atmosphere. Locals only, don’t bother trying to come here for happy hour or watch football. The owners are very vocal in telling the workers and customers what you cannot have. I will never come here again. The food was decent but nothing to write home about. For 70 dollars you can literally have better food, entertainment and customer service anywhere. This place sucks and I hope they do bad business for treating me like trash.

Food is excellent, and the beer on tap is pretty awesome. Great place to enjoy a quality meal in a reasonable price.
We had a wonderful family lunch here. Dad liked the burger with fresh hot crisp fries, and a cold glass of IPA. Mom enjoyed the French dip with the heavenly tomato garlic cream soup. I enjoyed the wedge salad w/soup and 805. Kids love the Philly cheese steak and the quesadilla.

Great restaurant! Although it was on the pricier end, we ordered the calamari and steak bites as appetizers, and shared the lamb shank. The calamari was light and crispy, the steak bites were perfectly tender, and the braised lamb shank fell off the bone and was absolutely delicious. Our server, Hailey (spelling?) was so sweet and very attentive, despite having to take care of several parties by herself. We did encounter a small issue with being charged the wrong price for a dish, but it was rectified immediately with no fuss. Overall, would definitely recommend. Get the lamb shank, you won’t be disappointed!

Food was just right! We came on a Sunday early evening and sat in the bar section. Their happy hour is everyday was what originally brought us in. The spicy Bloody Mary is spicy, so caution when ordering. The prawn salad was light and crisp and delicious. The dressing was light and exactly what I wanted. My date ordered off the dinner menu because he loves their scampi and once again was cooked to his perfection. We shared the garlic fries which were covered in garlic and kept me happy. Will be back to try the burger and other items off the happy hour menu.

I almost never write a review on google but mostly on yelp. My friend and I had never been here before, but we had great food, great service and her little pooch could hang out outside on the patio with us. This was lunchtime and I had the best wedge salad and shrimp. My friend loved her pasta dish and portions were perfect. We will definitely return for lunch. I have no idea about the dinner menu or ambience, however I think it’s sports bar and karaoke.

Kind of an interesting place.. It’s definitely a bar & grill, but it has the prices of a semi high-end restaurant? Everything (excluding appetizers) its generally $20 or more. In spite of the expensive meal prices, they have paper placemats, but also cloth napkins. The house vodka is Smirnoff, so I’m not totally sure how great the drinks are, but the draft beers seem alright. The food, however, is well done. Nothing remarkable, but you can expect a reasonably good meal if you go to visit.

Their bread is super fluffy and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside
The appetizers were mediocre. Their capers homemade BBQ sauce (baby back ribs) are more ketchup-y than a usual BBQ sauce. Tender but not very juicy unfortunately
Update: this time I got the lamb shank and it’s soooo good. Also I didn’t eat much of their mashed potato last time cuz I was so full, but that’s actually also so good

We had dinner outside on the patio. They have you scan a QR code for the menu and you can place your order on your phone. We didn’t realize we were supposed to order through our phone because they took our drink and appetizer order. Eventually we asked to order and they let us know the process but the man was kind enough to just take our order for us. The calamari is a fav of ours – perfectly crispy and the jalapeños are so good. Hubby really enjoyed his chicken and prawn picatta. I had the panko crusted chicken breast which was great as well.
