Hot In Little Rock

It was late on Saturday night, and no one had eaten yet.  We wanted to go out, but also wanted to stay close to home.  So we settled on Capi’s Restaurant.

Arriving at almost 8:30, the restaurant was packed, but we were lucky because a huge group of folks was just leaving.  We love Capi’s because we could really come just as we were – no dressing up required.  We settled into our seats wearing jeans and sweats and immediately ordered the queso fundido and some champagne.  (Because any night is a good night for champagne!)

We looked over the menu and saw some new options – including a new bean dip.  So we ordered some of that, too.  Capi’s is a great place to just keep ordering small plates off the menu and graze through the meal.  We love doing that.

The bean dip was delicious – and a nice compliment to the queso fundido, which is our all time favorite dish when we go to Capi’s.  Next, we decided we had to try their vegetable soup that was the special.  Capi’s always has fresh, homemade soups on the menu.  And whatever the soup is for that day, we recommend you get it.  Our vegetable soup was slightly spicy, and filled with chunks of wonderful vegetables.  Having had our fill, we went home happy.

Until Sunday morning rolled around.  We were hungry again!  And we wanted brunch.  So we went right back to Capi’s!  Their brunch is fantastic, and we hadn’t been in a while, so it was time to go back.  Their apple crepes are light and fresh.  There are no canned apples in this dish!  The champagne was just as good for brunch as it was for dinner, and Capi has promised us that the apple crepes will remain on her menu as she prepares for changes for spring and summer.  Whew.

Yes, some places just keep beckoning us back.  And Capi’s is one of those.  It’s not often that we eat dinner and brunch at the same place when we’re at home, but this time, it was certainly worth it.
