    The food and service at the Perfect Caper is OUTSTANDING. I've tried several of their appetizers and entre's through my visits there and I cannot complain about any of it! Alittle pricy, but you get what you pay for! If there is any criticism it would be that their 'doggy boxes' could be better.
