Simply put. The food was amazing. The presentation, timeliness, fresh and hot.

Roz H
Fabulous waitress named MaryJane. Very pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, attentive and thorough.

Dragos Macelaru
Good food, very clean, including restroom, enough nearby parking. It’s a bit pricey but worth it (including 20% tips, $100 per person). Ambient music low enough that we could talk without problems.

Uzma Osman
Our first at the Perfect Caper and it was wonderful. Hubby took me to this restaurant for a formal birthday dinner and I simply loved it. True to its great reviews, the ambience was quaint and the menu offered a nice variety. We ordered the Potato leek soup, Mommas Chicken and Chicken Falouta which were delicious and the portions was decent too. The staff gave us very nice customer service. Peanut butter bites were my complimentary birthday dessert which was very cute and yummy. Highly recommend.

Emily Franklin
We very much enjoyed our dinner for date night. From the start the waitstaff was on point, even though it was extremely busy. The drinks were excellent; I truly enjoyed my Bergamot and Bubbly. For appetizers we had the fois gras, mussels, and salmon tartare. My husband always is up for fois gras and this one did not disappoint. The mussels are one of my favorites and they were excellent. For dinner, I chose the The Pig and Fig Jam. For me it was a little sweet, but the portion size was huge. The accompanying greens and au gratin veggies were the star on the plate for me. My husband had Duck a Deux Facons and both preparations were delicious. For dessert, we did the creme brulee and the white chocolate bread pudding. Such a phenomenal ending to the meal. Thank you for a wonderful night out!

Superb dining at it’s best. The duck two ways was wonderful. Linda did a great job as server. She was very engaging. This is a must for those in the Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda areas.
