Perfect Caper offers haute cuisine in Punta Gorda

Cutting-edge Cuisine in an Unlikely Place

This little hamlet in Southwest Florida might not be more than a page in your guidebook, but The Perfect Caper definitely deserves a mention in the fine-dining section. In fact, you may even be surprised to find such haute cuisine in such an enexpected place. Chef Jeanie Roland and husband James will delight your palate with global fusion delights like pan crusted sea scallops and duck a' deux facons.. For appetizers, you'll have a tough choice deciding between such treats as rare yellow fin tuna wrapped in nori and pastry and the caper antipasto platter, a delightful combination of fresh cheeses, white bean and garlic salad, marinated olives and more. The restaurant is located in a bright orange house along colorful and quaint Sullivan Street, and the rolands are so intent on spreading the word by mouth that they don't even have a sign. It's a perfect stop for a romantic dinner when traveling between Tampa and Fort Myers. reservations and information can be obtained by calling 941.505.9009 or by email at enjoydining@theperfectcaper.com
