Capriz Italian Feast

Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere. Delicious salads, pastas and muscles were outstanding. Sadly they closed for good the week of Christmas.

What happened? Capriz used to have great food served in the same format as Rioz, but now they’ve turned it into a subpar buffet. The food was just not good and for the price it was especially horrible. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I was very disappointed with the buffet concept after dinning here in the past was soooo good! I could have got this type of food at any Italian restaurant which would have been better tasting. I don’t plan to be back. Sorry but it just wasn’t good to me.

What a shame! We went here last year and really enjoyed the food and concept so we decided to return again. What a mistake. No longer is there a large salad buffet but a couple of bowls of lettuce and a few toppings. Everything is serve yourself and most of the chafing dishes were empty or close to it. The pasta was ok and so were the sauces. Meatballs looked dried out. The staff although friendly and helpful looked demoralized and embarrassed about the changes. With so many other choices in the area we will not be back.

We came back to your restuarant expecting great taste after a fabulous experience last year. We were surprised by the buffet concept and decided to try it. Such a disappointment. Guys, your food quality does not equal $ 17/​per adult. The pasta bar has grocery store grade pasta and its over cooked. No marinade on the chicken. No distinctive spices in the meatballs. The sauces are not fresh at all. The salad leaves were fresh but the toppings were average. I think this buffet concept can work for you, however the food has to register a much more distinctive memory than it does now. If Unilocal reviews improve I may come back.

Extremely disappointed! I went here at the advise of my parents. I was expecting a Brazilian restaurant, I got a subpar Italian buffet? Apparently, they changed their concept. The restaurant was all but empty when I visited. The sauce was watery. The noodles came watery. The meatballs had sat out and were hard. The tomato basil soup was not very good. The meats were rather flavorless. They are grilled, but no seasoning. You can still get steak on the buffet, but it lacks in taste and appears to be a cheap sirloin. As far as Italian food goes, the OG is a step up from Capriz. The price is fair @ $ 16, but you get what you pay for. I tinkered between 1&2 stars and almost gave it 1 star due to my expectations, but I decided to give them 2 stars as that is what I’d given them if I had not had any expectations going in. Regardless, I won’t be going back. And judging by the number if people who were there, no one else is either. Please change back to what you used to be!

Great pasta bar 5 and under free but for $ 20 person u think they would have dessert? Ala carte! Other than that it was delicious

This place… YUCK!!! The worst «Italian» food I have ever had, not even Olive Garden quality. My husband and I went here while on a romantic getaway, never again. We could have saved a lot of money and just bought chef boy r’ dee, that is the quality of this place;however; the can chef boy would have at least been warm. The pizza was dry and cold, same for the pasta. I cannot believe it was $ 50 dollars for the slop we had. I actually got sick to my stomach from the food, we did not stay long, I did not even finish anything on my plate. We had to leave there and go to dinner elsewhere. Please everyone save your money and chose somewhere else.

The best part about our experience was the server. He was attentive and never made us wait for anything. The pasta was decent, but it’s not being freshly made. It’s box pasta being dropped in hot water when you make your pasta request. The biggest disappointment was the pasta sauce. If you specialize in pasta, then your sauces should be exemplary. Unfortunately, it was not exemplary… I was underwhelmed. I did, however, really enjoy the vodka sauce, the beef meatballs and the turkey meatballs. I don’t eat pork, but my family members who do had mixed feelings about the house meatball. The salad bar was decent, but because it’s touted as an unlimited pasta and salad bar I just expected more. The overall experience was good. If you’re really in the mood for pasta, pasta and more pasta, then this is definitely the place for you!

Last time we were here in 2013 we loved the place. This time not so much. Really disappointed that they changed and do not have the wait staff bringing the food choices to your table. I can’t say that I was impressed with any of the food and what happened to the pizza. Only good thing was our waiter. Needless to say I won’t be going back.

They serve anything you ask!

Brought in our basketball team & the food was incredible! They were able to feed our hungry crew & all were satisfied.
Their service was friendly, helpful & always available for any needs.

We come here every year! That being said, this place is no longer a table side Brazilian buffet, yet they charge the same price as they used to! Now you get Olive Garden breadsticks (the ones you can never figure out if they are toasty or stale), and your choice of 4 pastas, 4 sauces, and 4 meats. Blah. Salad bar has been chopped way down and no longer offers any foods of value. It used to have crusty breads, cheeses, olives and peppers, and yummy side dishes. Now it’s some sad lettuce, and generic salad toppings. Servers seem just as busy and distracted as they were when they used to serve the food, just not sure why now. Total bill for 2 adults and 2 kids with no alcohol or dessert was well over $ 100. Won’t eat here again unless they change it back.

Food was fair… buffet but most of dishes empty
Steak was very good when it was out! Salad bar pretty sad. Cici’s has more! Waiter was wonderful… Can’t say for $ 20 a person I would ever go back :(

Love this place! And have never even eaten their pizza. Make sure you go there HUNGRY! Website says
«Capriz Italian Feast will be closing for the off season beginning November 27^th 2014
Capriz Italian Feast at Broadway at the Beach will be closed for the winter season to renovate and retool the concept. At this time, there are no further details on the renovation or retooling of the concept as everything is in the beginning stages. The plan is expected to be completed Spring 2015»
Hopefully they will reopen soon!

The setup really isn’t my thing. The first course is a salad bar-​buffet setup, which is totally fine. The second course consists of folks bringing things by your table, and if you want it you can have it.
I sort of grew tired of the conversation being interrupted every time someone came by with a different dish (averaged about once every two minutes or so). However, a possible Khal Drogo impersonator was one of the guys bringing food by, so that was cool.
The food is decent, the setup is interesting, but ultimately not my first choice in restaurants.

For $ 20 a person, not including drinks or dessert, you really can’t beat this place. The food is good, it is not a cafeteria quality buffet. However, this is not fine dining, either. The current average of 3.5 stars I feel is accurate. Maybe considering this is a buffet the rating should be more like 4 since most buffets are glorified cafeteria food at best.
To start, there is a salad bar that has some nice items. There are marinated olives, pasta salads with and without meat, roasted veggies, Tuscan potatoes, salami, pepperoni along with a few choices of bread. Everything I tried was good. Once finished with the salad bar, my fiancé and I turned over our cards to green, which meant the circulating main course items would start arriving. Out of 15 items they claimed to offer that night, we saw them all. There were 4 different types of pizza (some vegetarian friendly), Parmesan steak (meat eating fiancé said to skip), chicken nuggets (for the kids or kids at heart), spaghetti with meatballs, gnocchi with a cream sauce, blackened chicken alfredo, cheese ravioli with pesto sauce (intense raw garlic flavor… I didn’t mind but it would probably overpower most!), shrimp scampi pasta… some chicken pasta and some pasta with sausage, spicy tomato sauce pasta… that’s all I can remember specifically.
Our main server was very nice as were the servers passing around the main courses. Some were more enthusiastic than others, but all were professional.
Overall a good experience for an all you can eat style buffet.

Really good food. $ 20 for adults and $ 9 for under 12, all you can it.
Not a traditional buffet, more in the Brazilian way.
Great service, plenty of choices for everyone.
We ate here with 4 kids aged 14 to 10. All were happy with their food.

Walking inside I appreciate the great décor and modern feel with a traditional italian throw back. The place looked very clean. The seating isn’t particularly comfortable which I assume is on purpose since it a buffet. $ 20 ish a person… There is a regular menu too I believe.
We all chose the buffet option which is a cold bar of meats, cheese, salads, bread, and more.
Most of it was very good, some needed more flavor, which I assume is most people’s complaints about the quality probably has gone down a bit and the flavor with it, but overall it was good.
After stuffing yourself on the cold bar the waiters walk around all carrying different dishes of hot plates, family style casseroles of steak, chicken, raviolis, pastas, etc.
I noticed regardless of my «flip card» red/​no, green/​yes, they would ask if anyone would like a portion.
Most were good, nothing was amazing.
The bar on the right side corner of the building has a great happy hour special $ 2 for one slice of pizza and a PBR. Wow the pizza was amazing! I tried the white pizza and the bacon pizza, both were wonderful.

Do yourself a favor and go here, every day you are at the beach.
We stayed at the Fairfield Inn across the street from Broadway at the Beach, and were looking for a Happy Hour spot to plant ourselves.
Now if you know my husband, once he finds something he likes he sticks with it. We found Capriz on the first day and went here every afternoon after until we left. We even brought friends that were staying in North Myrtle.
They literally have one of the best happy hours I have ever been to. Ever. From 4 – 7 We sat outside on their covered porch at the bar. We made sure we got there exactly at 4 and didn’t leave until 7.
They have $ 5 martinis, which I think I had about all of them (all good, but my favorite was the espresso martini), and $ 3 domestics. You can also get a pitcher of PBR and a large pizza for $ 15. Something that we did on the first day (and were so full).
All of their food on the bar menu is excellent as well. We tried the pizza (good), the muscles (first timer on those and my husband devoured about ¾ before I could get through 5). But let me tell you, my favorite was definitely the fried mozzarella.
The waitstaff knew who we were by the second day, and were remembering our drinks within the first hour of being there. They were great!
