    As always, the penultimate in service and food. We had the Gouda cheese appetizer special- small but very delicious! My husband had mushroom pappardelle and I had the gator island salmon, baby bok choy and the Brussels apple salad. Wine selection was very good. No room for dessert, but the dinner was delicious and I took some salad & bok chop home for lunch. Our server, Mary Jane, was wonderful- there when we needed her and helpful and very pleasant. A perfect night.

    The food and service at the Perfect Caper is OUTSTANDING. I've tried several of their appetizers and entre's through my visits there and I cannot complain about any of it! Alittle pricy, but you get what you pay for! If there is any criticism it would be that their 'doggy boxes' could be better.
