Boston Capri Review | A Three-Hour Lunch That Left Me Confused

👣 Reservation Difficulty: Extremely high (book 1 month in advance) ⌛ Dining Duration: 12:00 → 15:00 (extremely slow pace, didn't even get water refills in the second half) 📝 Conclusion First: Overall 6.5/10 – suitable for photos and drinks, not recommended for serious dining quality. 🔄 Chaotic Service & Order Issues Messed-up course order: The Honey Bun (bread) meant to start arrived late – only after we asked again when appetizers were done. It was pale, undercooked inside, and slightly bitter. Signature main dish fail: Tomahawk steak ordered medium rare came with a thick gray overcooked outer layer and a nearly raw red center – no gradient in doneness. 💸$160 – proceed with caution. Lamb rack disaster: Explicitly ordered well-done, arrived entirely pink. Sent back, waited 30 mins with no follow-up – only reappeared when we said "forget it." They eventually packed it and refunded, but the experience was ruined. Wrong orders & missing items: Server (key point!) recommended FUNGHI AL FORNO (should be mushrooms only), but brought Tortellini al Funghi instead – wrong order entered. WORCESTERSHIRE DEMI sauce we added never came. Dessert also took forever. Apology overload: Server, host, and manager all apologized repeatedly, but process issues remained unresolved. ✅ What’s Okay to Order Tuna Tartare Crunchy Caesar Tomato Salad Salted Honey Gelato (unique flavor, nice sweet-salty balance) Cocktails (visually appealing, decent taste) ❌ Not Recommended / Risky Picks Tomahawk steak ($160 – you can do better) Stuffed pastas: Both Agnolotti di Zucca and the wrongly-ordered Tortellini al Funghi had thick skins with minimal filling (some almost none). 📌 Tips for Potential Visitors Double-check your order when placing it and confirm dishes as they’re served. Avoid weekends/peak hours if you’re in a rush – slow kitchen may ruin mood and schedule. Manage expectations: Better for appetizers + drinks + dessert in a relaxed setting. 📝 Final Rating: 6.5/10 Hard-to-get reservations, slow kitchen, chaotic flow, poorly executed main dishes. Appetizers and desserts have highlights; cocktails are photogenic. Won’t prioritize returning for the food itself, but could be an option for casual drinks, chat, and photos during off-peak hours. #BostonEats #BostonFoodGuide
