Eats = Capa's: In response to Lee Klein's September 6 review "Dutch Treat": Taking a journey to South Kendall is not my idea of a culinary adventure. But last night, at the urging of dear friends who lived in the area years ago, I visited a charming little restaurant by the name of Gil Capa's. It's owned and operated by Gil, who is Italian, and Carmen, who is Peruvian, and the tastes blended together in their food are as perfect as they seem to be as a couple.

After we ate, the Capas sat with us for about an hour after a 30-year-old video of Luciano Pavarotti had finished playing on their 60-inch TV set. They have been in the restaurant business for more than 30 years and at this location since two months prior to Hurricane Andrew, according to Carmen.

It is a wonderful little neighborhood restaurant that would have lines around the block if it were in New York City.

Correction

In the story "A Cop, a Couple, and a Lot of Slime," on October 4, the address of Jay Senter and his ex-wife's nationality were misidentified. He lives on the 19th floor, and she is American. Also the private investigator who looked into employee complaints about John Davis was Patrick Franklin. We regret the errors.
