This place was amazing. Great food, great service and a wonderful setting to mark a special event. With temperatures in the upper 90s, we were initially upset that our reservation preference for indoors was not honored, but with the patio misters going it was fine to be outside. Plus it made for good people watching. Everything we ordered, from appetizers to entrees, was delicious. Stand outs were the ahi tuna tartare, crab cakes, rainbow trout and the spicy angel hair pasta that seemed Thai influenced. Their pastry chef had made an almond plum tart that was to die for, as good as any in Europe. I only wished that the server had warned us that we had ordered too much. The portions are very generous; pasta dishes can easily be shared by 2 people. It did make for tasty leftovers…

Very nice restaurant. Very cute, and the atmosphere was delightful, almost like it’s a small town. They were quite understaffed, though, but isn’t everyone? The prices are… steep, but I guess that’s normal these days. I got the rainbow trout and it was scrumptious. The potatoes as a side were really good too. Small dish yet very filling. House bread was very good as well, I love places that give bread for free.

We came here a few years ago and remembered how delicious the food was but couldn’t remember the location. So, when we stumbled in the other day, we instantly raised our expectations. The place is tight and a bit cramped. The tables are small and, if not for the high ceiling, one would easily feel claustrophobic. What this restaurant lacks in space, it makes up for in decor. The lights, greenery and bar gives the place a cool vibe. As for the food, i highly recommend the Crab cakes. One word describes it: perfect! My husband had the Parsnip soup. He said it was good and ate every spoonful. Next, there was the bread the waitress placed on the table. It was buttery, crispy goodness. I wouldn’t say it’s better than Texas Roadhouse bread, but definitely good. For our main entrée, I had the short ribs. It was as tender as warm butter, but it lacked seasoning according to my preference. I thought it was slightly bland. My husband ordered the eggplant lasagna. It was good but nothing to take you to heaven. Our drinks were tasty and not too strong. I had the pomegranate mojito and my husband had the long Island iced tea. For desert, we enjoyed the apple dumpling puff pastry and the chocolate pecan tart. Overall, this place is a definite “recommend”.

Really enjoyed dinner here. The food was good. I was really lookong forward to trying the braised beef short ribs but it was not offer that night. Decided to try the Butternut Squash Risotto, which was good. The service was really nice, and they have a patio for outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend Caprice.

Food was aggressively overpriced for how bland it all was. There was also barely anyone in the restaurant, and our food took quite awhile, including the complementary bread (That look 45 minutes to arrive). The staff was very attentive and kind though! Atmosphere was overall lackluster. Plastic trees with lights on them wasn’t exactly what I had pictured for an elegant dining experience. Overall I would say that there are better restaurants in the downtown Redlands area.

1st timers here Per usual, we try an array of items on the menu. First up, we ordered crab cakes & pork bites. Crab cakes get a 9/10. They were absolutely delicious but I would have liked them to be just a tad bit crisper. Pork bites get a 7/10. They were good, but really hard on some bites which made it hard to chew. For drinks we ordered the lemon drop, blood orange cosmo and an old fashioned. Blood orange was by far the most delicious out of all 3 10/10. Lemon drop was okay, but I’ve had the same flavor at other places 7/10. The old fashioned was good & had great flavor but was REALLY strong 8/10. For entrees, we ordered the waygu burger with cauliflower mash. Burger itself was really juicy and had amazing flavor with each bite, too much meat for my liking but my boyfriend would disagree. It’s just a thick cut burger. Cauliflower mash is a must try for sure. We also ordered the lamb with artichokes. It comes with quinoa but we wanted to try the artichoke. Artichokes were a huge let down so we actually sent them back and asked for the green beans with almonds. Unfortunately, they are also lacking in the flavor department. Lastly, we ordered the papardelle shrimp pasta. This was the winner of the night. Absolutely delicious. I wish I had asked for just a tiny bit more of the sauce but I would order this again in a heartbeat. Our waitress recommended the apple fila for dessert. It was okay. But just okay. Nothing to rave about. I’d go for another item next time. The puff pastry was a little burnt which In turn makes the pastry taste bitter. It has a nice crisp to it and is filled with semi sweet apples. We sat inside and it is really beautiful with dim lighting and comfortable seating. We can’t wait to go back honestly.

Stopped in mid afternoon to “try it out before scheduling a business lunch” just to have some high-school kid in a t-shirt and jeans say I needed a reservation, even though they weren’t busy and had lots of empty tables. If you’re the type of restaurant to require all parties to have a reservation, your staff should at least look the part with something better than t-shirts, tank tops and jeans.
