| - Me and my bf had eaten here once before about a yr ago, and we totally loved the experience. So much so, we decided to invite my family to capos for dinner the other day, thinking it would be a pleasant change from the olive garden.
Boy, were we wrong.
First off, the restaurant was DARK. I remember it being dimly lit the last time we had dinner there, but not like that. I couldn't even see the faces of the people surrounding me, much less my food. Im not one to complain too much about the ambiance, but I know something is wrong when I walk out of there with tired, strained eyes. Plus, I think there was an alterior motive for this dark lighting, aside from an energy savings technique (more on this later).
The service was crappy, or should i say our waitress was. She didn't know most of the plates offered on the menu, and she was spastic and disconnected. We all asked for water with no ice, but they gave us the opposite. And we asked for a couple of extra things, like olive oil for bread, but they never made it to our table.
The food was... so-so. Some dishes were overly spiced. Parents shrimp scampi had 6 shrimps each, tops. Lasagna was okay. Overall it was decent, but the first time we went there, the food was way better. Or maybe it seemed that way because we had a better experience. Or maybe seeing your food is part of the experience of enjoying it, and if you can't see it, you can't enjoy it.
Lastly, but most importantly, we are certain that they *OVERCHARGED* us. The bill came close to 300 (not including the tip we gave), and altho we thought it was too much, we didn't fight it because we were with my parents (don't wanna look bad) and we couldn't even read the bill. (again, the lighting issue... maybe that's why they keep it so dark in there.) After tallying up the score at home, we realize that they most likely charged us an 18 to 20 percent gratuity (for a group of 6? Really?) and didn't tell us. (Lucky them, they got two tips). But that still doesn't account for the total amount that they charged us, so we think that they probably charged us an extra plate as well. We will never know, because we never saw the receipt properly at the restaurant (try reading a note hand written in pencil in the darkest corner you can manage, and that was our situation) and they didn't give us a receipt to take home.
So in short, poor lighting, bad service, and ridiculous pricing/charging methods will keep us away. The food definitely isn't worth it.
