Capers Restaurant in Little Rock closing its doors this weekend after 28 years of business
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Capers Restaurant, a staple of Little Rock dining, will close its doors for good on Saturday. This news is sour for many customers who have made many memories over the years at the restaurant. Little Rock landmark Capers Restaurant closing after 28 years Capers owner Dan Kovach said this was certainly not an easy decision to make. Kovach owns both Capers and Copper Grill located in downtown Little Rock. He said with the price of nearly everything going up, it's difficult to keep both restaurants running. Capers opened in 1997 and has been in business for 28 years. For many people, it's a place where many memories were made, like April Williamson. She said Capers holds a special place in her heart. 'It was a special day for me on July 27, 2012, when my husband proposed to me here,' Williamson said. Maumelle restaurant featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show Pointing at the table she and her husband sat at on their engagement day, she said, 'ironically when we came last Saturday evening for the last time, they sat us at that very table.' In business for nearly three decades, Williamson said Capers 'is a gemstone in Little Rock.' Led by Diamond Chef of Arkansas and Restaurant Proprietor of the Year Mary Beth Ringgold, Capers won numerous awards, including Best Outside Dining, Most Romantic, Best Wine List and a 14-year recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. 'The food is amazing, and the staff has always been amazing,' she added. The Buttered Biscuit opens second location in Little Rock Before Kovach took over as the owner of Capers in 2021, it was previously owned by the former owner of Cajun's Wharf. When Cajun's closed down, Capers would often offer a throwback menu to keep the tradition of Cajun's Wharf alive. Kovach said they will do the same for Capers at Copper Grill, offering dishes and a dining experience that made Capers popular. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
