New downtown restaurant offers lighter fare made from scratch
By Matt Nagle
For the past five years, Capers Take Home Eatery in Proctor District has enjoyed a brisk business from customers looking for a healthy and tasty alternative to the usual takeout. Featuring a selection of 14-16 entrees along with soups, salads and sandwiches made with only the freshest ingredients, Capers carved a unique niche for itself by offering patrons fully-cooked meals in microwaveable containers they can take home, heat for two minutes and serve.
Now there's a whole new Capers location at 701 Pacific Ave. in downtown Tacoma. Rather than continue with the take-out theme, the new Capers is a full restaurant with seating for 50 indoors and tables outside to accommodate another 20 diners.
