"We usually come here for a treat. Love the boil and the sides. Friendly service. The only thing I'd make note is that the sauce is not consistent. We always order explosion sauce and punish me spice level. Sometimes we get it right, and sometimes it came out not spicy at all. But other than that, a really good place for a good treat!

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the salmon, yams, and a side salad. We also shared a fantastic crab cake appetizer. Our waitress, Michelle, provided outstanding service! Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner

I took my husband out to celebrate his birthday, and he was thrilled with the seafood platter! The Explosion sauce was fantastic, and there was plenty of food for at least three meals! The lobster roll was beautiful as well! We will definitely be coming back. View menu

I’m always satisfied with my visits here. It may not be the top seafood spot in the entire country, but it's definitely one of the better options in Upstate New York. I make it a point to come here at least twice a month for some crabs. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

For our Valentine's dinner, the packed parking lot was a clear sign of a popular restaurant. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere delightful, and the staff very friendly. The little robot that brings food orders is quite charming. This is definitely a place worth visiting!

"We had requested the rounded corner booth in the main dining room and arrived 20 minutes early, planning to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. But instead, we were seated at a booth right next to our preferred one. A couple finished their meal shortly after we sat down, well before our 6:30 reservation. We ordered a Beefeater gin and tonic and a very dry Beefeater martini. Both drinks had an unusual, perfume-like scent that was quite off-putting. My wife sent her drink back, and I decided to switch to a Bombay martini, but the same strange floral fragrance persisted. I regularly enjoy Beefeater and Bombay dry martinis and have never experienced this odd aftertaste before. For my main course, the Duck and Porcini confit ragu had hardly any duck in it. There were only a few shreds of duck meat hidden in the tagliatelle, but no substantial pieces. My wife’s Pesto and Shrimp dish arrived swimming in a broth. While this might be a traditional way to serve it, there was no mention of broth on the menu. She had expected the pesto to be coated on the pasta and oily, rather than soupy. As much as we have loved Capriccio over the past three decades, this experience was disappointing. We didn't even stay for dessert. We'll certainly return, but I hope to avoid writing another negative review. I usually don’t share my thoughts unless absolutely necessary, but I felt compelled to do so this time."
