Nicholas was amazing to us ! We had a group of 4 visiting from Georgia and he gave us great recommendations, happy hour was amazing we got about 3 orders of the 7$ mussels and the steak and frites and everything was so perfectly cooked ! We ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert and it was spectacular. The cocktails that Nicholas made were amazing will deff be coming here again thank you !

4.5 ⭐️ Ate here to celebrate our anniversary. Set upstairs and it’s a lovely atmosphere. Had the featured fish, mahi mahi which was potato encrusted with a buerre blanc sauce on bed of rice and veggies. Started with arugula salad (featured). Salad was huge! Fish was fab! Also had the rabbit sausage app. All wa yummy and would definitely go again and recommend!!

Caprice Bistro was a delightful discovery in Wilmington. My wife and I were visiting on an overnight trip from Raleigh, hoping to have a good meal and visit Wrightsville Beach for some winter sun. I originally decided to make a reservation at Caprice after seeing that they offered one of my favorite dishes, Beef Bourguignon. We had taken a sunset stroll along the riverfront and were pleased to see that Caprice Bistro on Market Street was just steps from the waterfront. The street was festively lit with holiday lights. The best dining location is upstairs. The vibe was established with eclectic music in the background, the icy shake of a cocktail mixer, and intriguing artwork on the brick walls. We enjoyed a cozy table next to the window overlooking the street. We opened with sparkling wine, a Cremant for me and Le Toast D'Hiver, a cocktail made with Brut, Grand Marinier, and a Demerara sugar cube, for my wife. This was accompanied by Crepe Caprice, delicate crepes filled with spinach, Gruyere, Parmesan, and Brie, topped with a mushroom Sauce. I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with French Pinot Noir, and my wife opted for the Salmon au Vert, a pistachio-crusted salmon. She enjoyed a glass of white Bordeaux with her dish. The Bourguignon was delicious, although my preference is for large cubes of beef, rather than the larger cuts that were served. That allows for more of a stew-like dish. The taste, though, was certainly spot-on. The service was outstanding, and the meal was delicious. Yes, we topped it off with a nice flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Two minor suggestions: First, the glassware should be upgraded to Riedel or something similar to match their well-curated wine list. Second, we enjoyed the artisan-baked bread, but it is even better served warm. All-in-all, this was a great restaurant discovery. We shall return!

Been dining at Caprice since moving to Wilmington in 2018. Love it! Though I miss the previous owners tremendously the new owners are doing fabulous job. Stopped in the other night just for cocktails and as usual they did not disappoint!

Had an amazing experience — the atmosphere was cozy and laid-back, the service was super friendly, and Chef James absolutely crushed it with the food. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly feel comfortable, get treated well, and leave talking about how good the meal was. Easily a 5-star visit and a place I’ll be coming back to for sure.

Unexpectedly good! Fresh local Carolina Mountain Trout is simply amazing. Soft white meat with a thin dusting of breading and fried to perfection. I never underestimate an uncomplicated delicious bite. Service on point! Highly recommend ❤️

A very quaint bistro across from the Cape Fear River just off the River Walk. The food was delicious. The service was great. It’s upstairs/downstairs so the servers work very hard to get drinks and good to the diners on both levels. I would say my only critique would be I prefer my French Onion Soup with beef stock. The chicken stock lacked a little of the richness but it was still very good.

Place is smaller than I thought and tables are a bit too close to each other, sometimes hard to hear when having a conversation. Despite all that I absolutely loved the food. That Beef Bourguignon was outstanding...Though, that chocolate mousse could be a bit more generous than what we got. Wine selection is decent. Great place for a special dinner date with friends or couples. I will definitely return.
