The food was rather average. Good spicing and taste, but the steak was cold. There is not much love in this location, you can tell that it is a tourist location. Service is rather average, as well. It feels more like a money machine for the owner.

We were fortunate enough to eat at Capers on their last night as they were closing until July for a massive revamp of the outdoor area to cater for all weather..The food was fantastic so were the prices the staff were great fun and on top of their game..would highly recommend this when they open again. Top Notch

We were expecting fine dining, in fact the recent North Queensland entertainment book lists Capers in the fine dining section. Unfortunately the service is no where near fine dining. When we were seated we were informed you have to go to the bar to order your drinks and meals. Ordering your own meals and drinks is fine for a pub... More

Went to Capers for a quick breakfast. The food & coffee was nice. But the food was very slow in coming out which was disappointing, as there were only 2 of us & we didn't order anything particularly difficult about our orders.

We attended capers over the weekend having read mixed reviews on trip advisor. Overall, both the service and food were good. As previous reviews have mentioned there is a bit of a wait between courses, if they could shave 10 minutes off serving times it'd really improve things. Having said that, we wouldn't hesitate in attending again, the pork belly... More

We ordered the spring rolls and the bruschetta for entree. After waiting 45 minutes in a half empty restaurant we asked on the progress of our meals and the reply was they had somehow miss placed our order! So we ordered again with the promise they would be straight out. When the entrees arrived the bruschetta was passable at best... More

On a very humid day what a relief to stumble on this bar restuarant. The service was fast and the food great. We'll eat there again.
