The beachfront of Airlie beach has several options for dining.. We have been suggested Capers by the owner of the B&B we have been staying.. The atmosphere is nice especially if you dine alfresco on the outside you can enjoy the night breeze and the people walking on the beachfront. We strongly recommend to check the fresh caught.. that day... More

The food was rather average. Good spicing and taste, but the steak was cold. There is not much love in this location, you can tell that it is a tourist location. Service is rather average, as well. It feels more like a money machine for the owner.

We were fortunate enough to eat at Capers on their last night as they were closing until July for a massive revamp of the outdoor area to cater for all weather..The food was fantastic so were the prices the staff were great fun and on top of their game..would highly recommend this when they open again.

We were expecting fine dining, in fact the recent North Queensland entertainment book lists Capers in the fine dining section. Unfortunately the service is no where near fine dining. When we were seated we were informed you have to go to the bar to order your drinks and meals. Ordering your own meals and drinks is fine for a pub... More

Went to Capers for a quick breakfast. The food & coffee was nice. But the food was very slow in coming out which was disappointing, as there were only 2 of us & we didn't order anything particularly difficult about our orders.

We attended capers over the weekend having read mixed reviews on trip advisor. Overall, both the service and food were good. As previous reviews have mentioned there is a bit of a wait between courses, if they could shave 10 minutes off serving times it'd really improve things. Having said that, we wouldn't hesitate in attending again, the pork belly... More

This restaurant is attached to the hotel but foesn't look lik it.We sampled some white wine before we bought a bottle, which is always nice when a restaurant lets you do that. Food was beautiful and service was great.

We ordered the spring rolls and the bruschetta for entree. After waiting 45 minutes in a half empty restaurant we asked on the progress of our meals and the reply was they had somehow miss placed our order! So we ordered again with the promise they would be straight out. When the entrees arrived the bruschetta was passable at best... More
