    We enjoyed our dinner at Capriccio Grill at the Peabody very much. My salmon was some of the best I’ve ever eaten, beautifully seared and perfectly cooked inside. I also loved the wilted spinach and grilled asparagus. The Spaghetti Bolognese was very good, as well. Pro tip: We had a later reservation, and the dining room was quiet while we were there. Lots of kids stay at the Peabody, so earlier reservations might not be as quiet.

    Sally our server was adorable. Very beautiful restaurant and the puttanesca was absolutely delicious. It was a little pricey for a night out. I probably could have done without the shrimp on the pasta and saved some money but it sounded like it came as part of that dish. I wish at all restaurants when they tell you the special they told you the price. It was my bad that I did not ask. Otherwise lovely night.
