Capers Downtown

There’s everything to like about Eve Hewitt’s Capers Downtown, a downtown Tacoma version of her popular Capers Take Home Eatery in the Proctor District.  The downtown version offers seating next to Fireman’s Park, gourmet sandwiches, delicious soups, and worthy wine list with half-glass options for working stiffs.

Let me put it another way: Imagine your favorite little neighborhood restaurant. Then imagine it better. This is Capers Downtown.

A dinner menu is in the works.
