Always a fun experience at Cap City. It's my go-to place. The food is always consistent, the staff is professional and friendly, and great atmosphere. Prices have gone up a lot. That is the only downfall!

What a fantastic late lunch we had today. The servers were wonderful, and the food was fantastic as always. Our primary server suggested the omelet and the scallop salad. We decided to get both and split them! He even put a 4th scallop on the salad split so to avoid problems! We even split a piece of the olive oil cake which was light and tasty! Thanks for a great afternoon!
