Capone's Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Peabody

I had the worst experience there last night. I went for a friends birthday party and we all sat down at a crowded table space in the lounge area. The waitress ( who's name was Lauren) started out by telling us she's had a few parties just walk out on her and got stuck paying $300 in tabs. Giving us an explanation as to why she needed a credit card to hold our tab. We waited for dinner menus at least 45 minutes and when I asked her what was in the peppermint martini she had no idea and said she would find out. After another 40 minutes of us waiting for her to return, I ordered the drink anyway and as my friend asked if she had told me what was in the drink, she replied oh she'll like it don't worry! After another 30 minutes she finally returned with drink in hand and was ready to take food orders. When I asked what the soup of the day was she again had no idea and would have to come back to let me know. After about another 25 minutes our food came out and she was no where to be found after that. My friends ended up just going to bar and ordering their own drinks. When it finally came time to pay the bill, which I actually begged her to do, it took another 25 minutes for her to split up the bills ( something which we told her in the very beginning we would be doing). Due to such poor service, I chose not to tip her. I signed the receipts and proceeded to say my goodbyes to my friends. She realized I had not tipped her and began waving the receipts in my face shouting theres no tip!! I told her yes that was correct there was no tip and she proceeded to corner me in the restaurant telling me I was rude for not tipping! Never in my life have I ever encountered such horrible service. Save yourself the trip and aggravation...

Outstanding food and service. The portions were huge. Nice fresh Scalli bread. We got the Burratta and Meatballs for apps. The Burratta was so good, loaded with nice fresh Basil, tomatoes, balsamic drissled over the Mozzarella. Must say the Meatballs were Superb with a couple of garlic bread slices, thrown in, awesome. My Sweetheart got the Eggplant/Veal Parmisean, two pieces stacked on top of one another, when I say HUGE, it was HUGE DUDE, with a nice sauce and pasta, she didn't even put a dent in it and she tapped out. I can't say I blame her, so much food. I got, I hope I'm saying g it right, the Chicken Broccolalatine ? Please forgive If I got it wrong. It was delightful as well , 2 breasts of chicken, pasta in a cream sauce with peppers onion mushrooms and Broocoli, WOW !!! THEN, for dessert, we split a slice of chocolate Reese's Peanut butter cake w/ whip cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Now listen, the only thing that would have made dinner a solid 10, if the put a large dobble of Vanilla ice cream on that dessert. !! You feeling me, right now. So I give it a 9.9, hey, what do you want from me huh, c'mon !! Hah ha ha. I got to say, I came here for the first time about 4 yrs ago, and my experience was it was alright/good you know what I'm saying ? But this time around, what ever changes they made, I'll Be Bahck , like tommrah !! Get your butt in there . PS. They have live bands and music on the bar side,starts around 8:30 PM ish, and the band starts around 9 PM, kind of like oldies type music with say about people over 40 yrs old and up. Get there early, it gets crowded. Pretty cool 😎 go check it out for YOURSELF, I'm telling ya 😉. Have yourself...
