    Multiple dates available
    If you are looking to host a corporate event or a special occasion, Capo has a Private Patio which is covered and heated, and can accommodate groups ranging in size from 10-28 guests. For large groups like this we only serve a Prefix menu which highlight some of our most popular offerings from our almond wood grill. Our menu features all of the following: almond wood grilled Caesar Salad for everyone, along with classic Meatballs, almond wood grilled Calamari and Heirloom Tomato/Vegetable Burrata for the table to share. There is a middle course of Corn Ravioli with Black Truffles and Rigatoni Truffle Meat Sauce. Both pastas are individually plated for every guest. The following are our standard entree choices: almond wood grilled Branzino, Chicken Parmesan or almond wood grilled New York Steak. For dessert we serve our famous Blackberry Crumble and Volcano Chocolate cake for the table to share. Substitutions can be made to these menu selections given enough notice. Allergy and dietary restrictions are always something we can accommodate. Alternatively we offer the same menu, excluding the pasta course, for a more streamlined experience. However, the streamlined menu is limited to booking times of 6:00, 6:15 or 8:30 until close. The full Prefix menu is priced at $250 per person, and includes all the food, bottled water and nonalcoholic beverages (sodas, coffees, tea, etc.). The Prefix menu which excludes the pasta course is priced at $200 per person, and includes all the food, bottled water and nonalcoholic beverages. Additional items can be added to either menu for the a la carte price from our main menu. Only one menu (Standard or Streamlined) must be selected for all guests in your group. Alcohol is charged upon consumption. 10.75% sales tax and 20% service will be added to the final total of the bill, along with a 3% credit card processing fee for payments made via credit card. Final headcount must be confirmed 48 hours prior to event. Failing to do so will result in being charged for the original number booked if the party drops in size. No-Shows and Cancellations within 72 hours of the reservation will incur a $250 per person charge for the loss of that business. If you are looking to book a large group today or tomorrow, please reach out to the restaurant directly at the phone number below.

    Exceptional food, service (including wine service) and ambiance. One of the great restaurants in the greater LA area. Our board regularly dines here after our board meetings and always has an exceptional experience. Every dish is exquisite. Prices to match, but well worth it for a very special night out.
