Of course, we had plenty of beverages in the beginning and along the courses (capuccino and glasses of Bollinger champagne). I ordered the Rigatoni and Romaine salad. My wife ordered the Mista Salad as a starter, and Salmon for her main entree. What we didn't expect was that the food would be less than exceptional. The dining room was packed of course, so we expected that service would be on the slow side which we did experience. We finally were seated inside and were elated to get in. We could go on and on about how bad an impression this was, but will spare you that. Once he knew we knew the difference, he then began to make seating arrangements for us inside Capo. We insisted that we dine inside Capo, not outside at Cora's. The host then notified the supervisor who continued to insist that we dine outside. We told the host that we had breakfast at Cora's that same morning and did not want to sit there. Now, "outside" to them was actually Cora's Coffee Shoppe (which is also owned/operated by Capo). When our turn came, we asked to be seated inside because that was what we reserved. The host was seating people outside and inside. We saw that other people arriving were talking to someone outside the entrance regarding seating. It was clear right away that this was a busy evening. On our day, we walked to the restaurant for our dinner and arrived on time, if not a little early. One would think that would assure us some level of professionalism. Of course, we made our reservations long in advance through the Concierge at Shutters on the Beach where we were going to stay. Still, we have to say this Italian restaurant let us down in several respects, though not totally. Our first visit was admittedly more than several years ago. Very few restaurants continue over the years with the same level of service and food quality.
