    It was our first visit and we were absolutely delighted with the restaurant. The view is amazing, as was the service, but the food is the real star. We shared three starters, the garden snails, the trout and the Ostrich carpaccio. They were all delicious, but the snails were the winner (and considering how many other snail starters were being served, it is obviously a crowd favorite too). We both had a pasta dish for our mains (luckily there is an option to order a smaller portion of most mains so I could enjoy more starters). Both pasta dishes were amazing. we will certainly be going back to Capelands often.
