    The Perfect Caper is truly a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm ambiance and impeccable service. Our server, Zack, was nothing short of amazing. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made our dining experience exceptional. The dishes exceeded all of our expectations. Each course was a delightful journey of flavors, meticulously crafted and beautifully presented. The culinary team at The Perfect Caper certainly knows how to impress! We enjoyed a variety of dishes, each one better than the last. The flavors were bold, yet perfectly balanced, and the ingredients were undeniably fresh. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Kudos to Zack and the entire team at The Perfect Caper for making our night so special. We can't wait to return and indulge in more of their culinary masterpiece.

    This is hands down our favorite restaurant in the Punta Gorda area, which, for various reasons, we have not been able to enjoy for the last 2 years. Regrouping and reopening after the devastation of 2 hurricanes didn’t dim The Perfect Caper at all. We felt like we were home again after a long time away. Thank you, Jeanie, Gabe, and Staff♥️

    the service staff went way over what you would expect. kudos to ALL of them however-your process requiring a verification code to give a rating is silly and almost caused me to forget it

    Our party of four enjoyed a great evening. Eric was our waiter since we had not been there. He explained everything to us the history of the restaurant and the chef’s awards and accomplishments. We started out with some curry muscles, which were top-notch. Everyone in the party had a different dish, shrimp and grits, crabcakes, steak, pork chop. Everything was wonderful.

    The Perfect Caper is a wonderful experience in food. Had a special of venison with mushroom, fingerling potatoes and wine reduction, preceded by the best foie gras I have ever tasted. My companion had mussels in curry sauce and duck. Service was friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend highly.
