I travel and have not taken the time to rediscover my own neighborhood restaurants. It was time to ""re-discover"" Capri.\r
\r
When you enter the restaurant, the deep red walls, tasteful artwork and white table dining make the room itself feel balanced and elegant without being overwhelming. \r
\r
When you enter the restaurant , you know this is a restaurant where not only will you be able to enjoy the food, but you can hear your conversation if you are there with a business associate, friend,significant other, or with a group. I witnessed folks there greet regulars with a personal touch. A couple with a well behaved child arrived.They were greeted warmly and their child ran to say hello :). A gentleman awaiting his wife was seated and the table prepped - even with a candle :) for her arrival. For me, diniing alone, a convenient table was chosen, and as it was a lighter evening (it is Tuesday) lovely conversation made while awaiting the food. \r
\r
Bread arrived first and butter was at a perfect temperature for spreading on the bread. \r

I ordered the Grouper Picatta. It arrived nicely cooked with a delicate flavor. The capers just enough added to the flavor without overwhelming the essence of the fish. The sauce just enough. The fish moist. The broccoli and carrots, separate served on the plate were cooked and seasoned well with a flavor almost reminicent of a hint of dill. The broccoli still had a crunch and was not overcooked nor undercooked. In addition, it is not easy to get carrots cooked so that they are easily sliced but not ""overdone."" That was also mission accomplished. The house chardonnay was a nice accompaniment to the meal. \r
\r
Like another reviewer, I found that the tiramsu was an unexpected treat to accompany dinner. The presentation is different as it presented ""flatter"" than taller, but don't let that deceive you. The portion was generous and the flavor comes with a mousse that glides with flavor across your tastebuds. The cocoa powder just right over the top and a few well placed and nicely stripes of chocolate syrup. (again nothing overdone). Again, think ""delicate."" All parts of the meal were far from bland; they were spiced with delicacy.\r
\r
Finally A lovely expresso followed dinner. And then it was time to depart. \r
\r
One helpful note: I was told they can also substitute chicken for the grouper :) if wanted for a meal. Nice to know substitions can happen if needed. \r
\r
It is going to be fun to return and try other dishes. I also discovered that they hold wine tasting dinners - something to consider if you are out and about for a 3rd Wednesday of a month. ( I believe that's the day.)\r

Thank you gentlemen for a lovely meal! I look forward to dining with you again soon.
