The summer-fresh heirloom tomato salad maintains its vibrant texture and sweetness even in fall. Entree options inlcude steaks and chops, cooked over wood, and savory beef short ribs, braised in red wine.... more

One of the nicest features of the massive wine list is the large selection (1,500 varieties) of half bottles.

Where to Sit

Weekend tables can take more than a week to reserve, but you may have better luck with dinner seating at the bar, which is near the cozy, wood-burning oven.

The Scene Push aside the lush velvet curtain and enter la dolce vita. Exposed beams and a roaring fireplace call to mind an elegant ski lodge. With an extensive wine list and a knowledgeable staff expert in the dying art of service, no detail goes unnoticed.

We respect any player with the chutzpah to charge $32 for chicken. Then again, this ain't Popeye's. Bruce Marder's gilded Romantic/Date Spot renaissance proves he's boss of all bosses. Small menu plush with Farmers Market freshness sits on a sea-swept, non-descript corner. Get Kobe strip or lavish lobster risotto. Wine goes to $8,875. We took two of dem ones. Join the players when the boss is... more

Very disappointing

We were extremely disappointed with Capo. The food was terrible, not only for one of us but few of us and we had to send it back, the fish was raw... service was not good at all and on top of it we got charged a 20% service fee without any appologies from the manager for the terrible food and service.
It's a shame for the chef to be 'proud' to put his name below the menu, it's an art to serve... more

We had an early dinner and it was great the restaurant it's a bit too small but it wasn't too crowded at that time. The interior was very nice, the service was great and the food was excellent. I Also loved their wine list. I will be back!

I have eaten at Capo at least 5 or 6 times and each time was memorable. It's a small sophisticated, yet relaxed venue that's always busy but never too loud to hear the people you're with. A wood burning fire is always going in the back corner behind the bar, with a chef busy at work. It is the food, however, that makes this place truly shine. My favorite appetizers are the farmers market... more
