Caprice bistro

Amazing experience at Caprice tonight in an intimate setting for two. Delicious soups to start the evening with the perfect French bread and olive oil combination! Next the main dishes were scrumptious with the yummiest mash potatoes and veggie combos. The French Rose was a lovely accompaniment to this meal and reasonably priced. To top off the night was one of the most delicious dessert we have ever tasted!!! Nick took great care of us too! Can't wait to go back!!!

I have been coming to this restaurant for years and each time I go I am reminded why I keep coming back. Patricia, the hostess and owner, is very warm and inviting when you come in. The food is excellent. I highly recommend their specialty seafood stew, waterzooi as well as the escargot but any dish I’ve ever had there has been wonderful. The night we went they had a halibut special which was cooked in a shrimp sauce and had such a great flavor. I’m already looking forward to my next visit here!

I went to Caprice for dinner last night and it was amazing! I sat at the bar and had a glass of wine. I had a delicious salad starter, delicious main meal, and dessert! Kat, my server and bartender, was amazing! She had great service for everyone in the bar and lounge. Caprice has a great atmosphere. Candle lit and small lights. Highly recommend dinner here.

This place was so romantic! It is good date night spot, upstairs near the windows. The seafood was so delicious. The Waterzooi was the star of the show! The mussels were awesome because of the curry sauce and were presented beautifully. The French onion soup had the best cheese but, the broth itself could have had more flavor. The French white wine was a great compliment to all the food. Overall, we had a great experience and the service was 10/10, thanks to Drew!

Great little Bistro tucked into the middle of downtown. One of the owners greets and seats you with great warmth. The service, our server was amazing, is very attentive and knowledgeable. The menu has some of the well known French favorites but is a bit Americanised. Was hoping for some more adventuresome French but what we had, French onion soup, pate, escargot, a lovely French seafood dish and a rich saucy flounder dish were excellent. It's been around forever so they are doing it right! We will return!!

Me and my friends are visiting Wilmington for the weekend and since it’s a Labor Day weekend a lot of restaurants are booked up and we’re taking reservations and had limited waitlists. A few restaurants actually recommended Caprice and so we were excited to visit and hope to land a table. My friend initially went in to ask for a table and she was rejected and was told they had no availability. We noted a few parties also hoping to waitlist and they were fortunate to get a table but they were for parties less than 4. I tried our luck again, and while waiting for the hostess to return, a very nice server told me that a party of 4 shouldn’t be a problem but could just take an hour wait. While waiting another party of 4 came in and was asking me how long the wait was. She disregarded me and addressed them first. She told them they had an availability and immediately seated them. When she returned I asked if they could accommodate our party as I was there first. She didn’t even offer us to be listed on the waitlist, she immediately turned us down and told me it was first come first serve, she turned her nose away and looked away to no longer address me which I thought was very unprofessional as I was speaking to her very nicely. To note, all the parties which she accommodated were all Caucasian and I felt discriminated against as me and my friend who were both people of color were treated similarly. This was a poor experience and left a bad cap on our last evening in Wilmington. I hope the establishment educates her on treating people respectfully as that was the first time I’ve felt disrespected in all my travels out of state.

An absolute local gem! Gorgeous French meal - just like sitting in a Parisian bistro but in the heart of Wilmington. Cozy ambiance / vibe. The meal starts with fresh, warm baguette and high quality olive oil + balsamic. We ordered family style with a mix of apps (crepe and escargot) and entrees (lamb, beef bourguignon, and waterzooi). Can’t wait to return to try more menu items - each visit can be a new adventure of taste and flavor. We loved hearing the history of the restaurant, the chalkboard drawn map showing where in France / Belgium the owners/chefs are from, and seeing the owners at work in the restaurant until closing, then watching them leave together holding hands. Our server was also very kind, friendly, and engaging and gave us great menu recommendations that we followed. We also greatly appreciated the ease of booking on Open Table. Thank you Caprice, here’s to many more years!
