Always memorable. Great ambiance and food. Not cheap, but service is high end and you will be glad you splurged.

It was way overpriced without any reason. I go to a lot of expensive restaurants but dinner for 4 without drinks should not cost 700. Also I have not been to any restutant that automatically add 20% service charge for 4 people.

Based on my experience at Capo, it is hard for me to imagine anyone leaving less than five stars. Everything was impeccable. My husband and I agree that it was some of the best food we’ve had in years. Our server was so lovely it felt like we had become friends. The ambiance is perfect - cozy and warm with a music playlist that is somehow eclectic and perfect (and not loud!!! You can actually have a conversation in this restaurant!!) A truly memorable experience and I will be back the next time I’m in LA. Don’t miss it.

Delicious, impeccable. The ambiance is enough reason to eat there, aside from the delicious food. Pricey and worth every penny!

I rarely, if ever, leave reviews. I normally look down upon the people who take time to leave reviews (normally because it’s people upset about reservation mix-ups). But I felt compelled to say- this restaurant, the food, the service, and the ambiance, are exceptional. Yes, it’s expensive. Trust me when I say this- get the ragu and the corn ravioli thing- and get a steak, any steak- and get a dessert, any dessert- it’s all worth every penny. The staff is phenomenal, they were extremely accommodating, and the ambiance is cute, lively, warm, how else can I describe something that feels welcoming? 5 stars. I’m not kidding I’m writing this review at the dinner table. Make this your special occasion; or, do what I am going to do and make this your go-to semi weekly splurge spot. It’s that good.

What an enjoyable dinner at Capo. To be sure it is a costly night out, but the quality of the food and service more than makes up for it! We particularly appreciated the outstanding service from Max, the Sommelier, who demonstrated all the best traits of excellence one expects from an old school fine dining experience. Capo is a standout in Los Angeles, if you want a taste of the best of Europe, locally and you grew up with certain expectations of how restaurants of true quality operate.

This was our first time at Capo. The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. What put a bad taste in our mouth was putting on the menu “20% service charge automatically added so we can give our staff a living wage”. Do you mean to tell me that when people are paying $300 a head for a meal, you cant afford to give your staff a living wage? Just pay them properly. On top of it, at the end, the server said we were welcome to leave an additional tip so that it could just go to the wait staff and not have to be split with the kitchen. When you are charging $41 for a piece of burrata and a couple of vegetables on a plate, the margins are there, and I shouldn’t have to pay extra on top of that so you can pay your staff properly. If you are going to have what amounts to a built-in surcharge, fine, but suggesting additional “gratuity”, and the way it was presented, was obnoxious.

Pricey, but what isn't these days. Our guest said his lamb chops were the best he ever had. Great service , and the food was exceptional. Our favorite restaurant.
