Visiting San Antonio for another event, the timing coincided with our wedding anniversary, so we looked for something with good food, but not fancy (we didn't bring the clothes for it, plus our 12 yo was with us). Cappy's seemed like a good choice and...wasn't too far from where we were staying. Glad that they recommend reservations on their website, as it was quite busy at 7:15 on Saturday evening. We were seated immediately upon arrival and liked the vibe of the place - outdoor seating, indoor open to second floor, light brick, wood and metal stairs. Comfy, though a bit narrow, padded chairs. We were well cared for by our server who explained the evening's specials. We started with the special appetizer - a smoked beef carpaccio with arugula salad and a sweet balsamic vinaigrette. It paired perfectly with the smoky Paloma cocktail. For dinner, my son had the gumbo (very dark roux - said it was the best he'd had), my husband the PEI mussels (great flavor, garlic bread to soak up the liquid) and I the salmon with lobster mashed potatoes (loved that I was asked how I wanted the salmon cooked and it came out correctly; a few nice chunks of lobster in the potatoes). We all chose a different dessert as well - the warm chocolate cake, key lime pie and sticky toffee pudding. All were well done and freshly made (I dislike places that make/buy them in advance and just pull them out of the refrigerator!). We weren't rushed and all of the food was fantastic. When asked what brought us to San Antonio, we mentioned our anniversary and were comped two desserts - a pleasant surprise. I can see why this has been a San Antonio institution for many, many years. The atmosphere, service and food are very, very good. Try it - you won't be sorry!More
