Such a cute atmosphere! Loved the fried green tomatoes. Thank you so much for hosting our event! Cheers. read more

The taste of the food is just ok. Very, very expensive for what you get. I mean, 5 little mushroom raviolis for $25. Ordered takeout, so service wasn't an issue. Place just seems like a regular old bar & grill. Probably won't order again unless they slash their prices in half. read more

We got their just before they oppened up.Didnt realize you had to order your food at counter, no table service. Friendly lady greeted us as we came in.. The guy at the counter seemed flustered ,was on phone. Then first sign was no cauliflower bites, which wife was looking forward to. Ordered some cajun sweet potato fries,and sliders and a double smash burger. I love the look of the restaurant as it is in a.Historic building. Has that early 1900 vibe. They have a Happy Hour from 4-6 items that arent on their posted menu so look at the small sign posted on the tables.. also they posted up a sign in the front of their restaurant on the sidewalk after we entered with a bunch of other menu items that are on their regular menu. As far as our food goes, burger was average the chicken sliders, wete very dry,wife, had to use some of my mayonnaise from my burger, there there was no ranch to be found on there. Both the cajun, sweet potato fries and my waffle fries with my burger. Seemed like they had been cooked too long. And on their menu online , on their website they had soup listed, wife asked about the soup, they said they had none today. I was really looking forward to this restaurant due to all of the reviews on Facebook. I left there feeling let down , i really hope this restaurant improves, being in a small town., small business read more

Easy solid five. They clearly Love what they do. It's food that will hit you in the "feels" ...one of the best burgers I've had in forever. Super friendly. Reasonable $$$ for the quality. And they've got a decent happy hour. We'd try to do them a few times previously over the weekends but they were too busy for me; which is good for them, really. They deserve it. I also initially thought ordering at the bar was a bit persnickety... but I get it and just rolled with it. Cauliflower bites were delicious as were the fat pork tacos. Juicy plump ones. Nom nom nom yum yum! read more

So I'd heard about Capricious and wanted to try it for a couple weeks. Tonight, I finally moseyed out to Newberry proper from the outskirts of Newberry where I live and tried it out--and very glad I did. First off, the interior is utterly stunning. And I was talking with the owner and she did a lot of the renovations herself! Very astute adaptive reuse of an historic building and very tasteful and welcoming with its exposed original brick, paintings on the walls, shelved books from the owner's grandfather, and other choice details. It feels classy but welcoming and informal. You could come here on a nice date but I didn't feel awkward walking in wearing boardshorts and Converse, either. The owner and her staff are very friendly and like their restaurant, welcoming and informal. The menu is eclectic and expansive, also changes pretty often apparently. I ordered the fish tacos and had them blackened instead of fried. They were very good, pretty spicy, and of ample size which is nice because plenty of places give you very meager little tacos--but not here, three decent-sized ones. I'm really glad this place has opened up because Newberry needed something like this and everything seems literally spot-on, no aspect where I can really complain at all. I don't know what if any desserts they had but suspect they have some--I'd already gotten donuts from the bakery next door (which I also very much recommend). They don't serve lunch yet but the owner told me it's in the works. read more

The carrot miso soup special was spectacular. The Mushroom ravioli was amazing too. The fried sage for the ravioli was perfect with the brown butter. Will definitely come back read more

Newberry has a great restaurant and should be proud to have it. The menu has a lot of variety but not so much that it makes you wonder if they can do anything well. I had the Korean chicken sandwich with fries and it was very tasty! Very clean and a neat little place. Service was quick and efficient and priced very well. I plan to return next time I am in Newberry. read more

Love that they had a small menu, food was very delicious, service was just a tad confusing as to whether you ordered drinks at the bar or you had a server come to your table. But every encounter we had with the server was very good. The ambience was very low-key and quiet and kind of chill which was really nice. Wasn't noisy. Could have a nice conversation. read more

A real find in Newberry. Low key ambiance but a major step above the sports bar atmosphere so many of the local places have. A wide range of salads, shareable small plates, sandwiches and a few dinner entrees. Lots of vegetarian options. Food is different without being weird, and I've loved everything I've tried here. Order at the counter, they bring the food to your table. House wines are very drinkable and a steal at $6 for a generous pour. read more

A newly opened local eatery here in Newberry sports a trendy selection of foods and appetizers, and a surprising beer and wine list. From the mushroom ravioli in a sage & brown-butter sauce, to the All-American double-patty smashburger, to the Korean chicken sandwich, the food sounded absolutely delicious. But the reality did not live up to the expectations. The serving of ravioli for the price was extremely small, the waffle cut fries came out cold and soggy, and the chicken was slightly overcooked and dry. The waitress, well friendly, was not terribly attentive, and the kitchen was extremely slow in putting out orders for a not overly busy Wednesday afternoon. The good news is, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was flavorful enough that I will definitely come back and give it a second chance. Oh, I almost forgot.. the fried chicken skin appetizer with the sweet chili sauce was delectable. read more

The ambiance is so perfect. Looks like an English library or bar. The food is beyond, and the chef herself took our order! You order from a big board on the wall and relish in the deliciousness of the unique comfort food. Great vegan options too. read more

Beautiful place, very chill & relaxing environment. Food was absolutely delicious & inexpensive! Lots of good beers available, didn't drink anything else so can't speak to that. Owner is on-site & checks in during your meal. This is a gem of a place in Newberry! They've got a delicious looking happy hour that we missed by a few minutes. And they have a monthly book club that meets there - something for everyone! read more

We stopped for lunch and we both got delicious fish tacos and Cajun sweet potato fries both were excellent. Restaurant was very nice inside and good service. We will be back. read more

Oh my goodness. We haven't had such delicious meals for so long that we had almost forgotten what it was to savor true delicacies. The Chef, Christa, is a gifted young lady with some groundbreaking culinary ideas to simply die for. We stared at our menus for some time finding it difficult to decide from the very tempting and unique choices. We anxiously ordered the Chicken Skins appetizer, and our entrées, Chicken Milanese and Mushroom Ravioli. We sampled each other's meals and enjoyed everything so much that we immediately made a decision. Our decision was that WE NEEDED to come back and try all their other options. We loved the experience so much that we plan to come back another two times this week alone. Capricious, this charming Local Eatery is in the Newberry area, and it is very much worth the short, pleasant drive. We promise, you will have no regrets. read more

Tried this new spot on a whim for date night. Definitely not disappointed! The ambiance was beautiful, attention to detail 10/10, the owner (who took our order) was super kind and had many recommendations. We went with all of them and the food was outstanding! Highly recommend! read more

Went this evening for an early dinner. Only one other group in the place. Ordering is done at the bar, menu is eclectic with a decent variety. We started with the chicken skins, deep fried, crispy and came out piping hot. Seasoned with a mildly spicy dusting and 2 dipping sauces a sweet chili and an asian/soy dip. They were great, reminiscent of pork skins. We also had the blackened fish tacos and the smash burger. Tacos were stuffed, tasty and filling. The burger was very tasty and came with a side of waffle fries. Dessert was Carmel delight and a chocolate truffle tower. Both were amazing. Glad we checked it out and we will be back. It was obvious, as others came in, that if you've been there before and take a seat they will bring you menus and the your order table side. So if you are in the area give it a try. Think I'll grab the asian cold noodle bowl next go round. read more

Our favorite lunch and dinner spot. Wonderful atmosphere, amazing food and excellent service. We really like the chicken milanese, the chicken Caesar and the chocolate ganache torte, but honestly, everything we have tried has been amazing. The owner and chef is very friendly and she is passionate about preparing and sharing amazing food. Don't miss the opportunity to try one of her specials. read more

We tried Capricious for the first time tonight and the food and service were excellent. I had the blackened chicken Caesar salad; the portion was generous, not exactly a classic preparation (adding capers and bacon, and with more vinegar than is typical) but very very tasty. My wife had the fish tacos, and she said the ingredients seemed fresh and it was "very well put together". Our daughter enjoyed the smash burger. There were several other things on the menu that sounded great, so I guess we "have to" go back. :-) read more

Best enchiladas ever. All ingredients tasted very fresh. Restaurant is also decorated very nice with good beer and wine selection.

Very charming and so needed for Newberry. We had the fried cauliflower with hot sauce on side. Cooked to perfection. Great menu options. Something different than BBQ. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

The place is cute, but the food is terrible. They are trying hard but the food reminds me of a kiosk at an airport or mall.

We went in last weekend and loved all of the food we ordered - smash burger, sweet potato and black been enchiladas, arroz con pollo, tenders and fries. Definitely will be back! read more
