| - My daughter was scouting out affordable steak and ribs places and came across Capri. She browsed the menu and found her pesco-vegetarian tastes could be accomodated with grilled fish and her GodDad's craving for 'a good steak or maybe ribs' would be accomodated as well! So I went ahead and made the reservations. Lucky we did! from 7 - 8 on a Friday night the place was packed. In fact, our Honoured Birthday guest was impressed that they got there a little early and the owner popped out and offered the two guys sitting at the table a free beer if they'd move to the lounge! How many places will do that nowadays? And the drinks are resasonable with good Canadian Beer on tap and pints at $5.50 who wouldn't go back for pizza and beer? We're going back to try the pizza. We all have various menu choices and were more than impressed with the portions. Their Grill Cook rocks, btw! Seriously, my daughter's salmon on her salmon salad was cooked perfectly, as was the salmon in the salmon 'neptune'. My 'beef' neptune ( a steak) and freind's salmon neptune were made with REAL Hollandaise sauce. The prime rib and other steaks were expertly cooked and thick cut..
And REAL creamy deliciously seasoned, not frozen stuffed potatoes were absolutely the best we've had in years! No extra sour cream or other condiments necesseary on those lovely potatoes!
The Fettucine Al Fredo looked wonderful and came with a salad too!
Okay, if you're a vegan epicure, heads up here. This wonderful 1970's style menu is not for you. You'll be disappointed in the old style iceberg lettuce salad with a little tomato and a little cuke with a traditional choice of dressing. You won't like the vegetable medley that is the standard side, but that is not Capri's forte! Capri is all about the beef and ribs and pizza! They balance their meals the way it was done back when the grill chef was king of the kitchen!
And it's for folks who didn't need a waiter to tell them which reduction, emulision, and fancy greens or fruit or peppercorn was added to their dish to make it worth the $$$. Capri's prices are competitive, their food is filling, their portions are generous and their service deserves every one of those five stars! And it is a Calgary landmark.
Oh and wear your walking shoes. Parking is not the easiest thing to find nearby because the restaurant is located right on the corner of Edmonton Trail and 16 Ave. There is parking behind but it's laneway backing on to a park and it was crowded and busy the night we went.
This is one Capri fan who hopes the Capri will be around for some time to come!
