The Culinary Vision

Food is my language.
Hospitality is my love.

Chef Nic creates from instinct, heritage and heart—transforming every gathering into an experience that feels personal, expressive and unforgettable.

Rooted in Cape Verdean soul, shaped by New England coastal tradition and brought to life with fearless imagination, Cape V of LKN is not confined to one cuisine or one expected way of doing things. Every menu begins as possibility. Every plate becomes a canvas.

“I don’t chase trends. I don’t dream in black and white. I dream in food.”
Chef Nic

The Cape V Philosophy

Dining is more than a meal.
It is an experience.

At Cape V, we don’t simply serve meals—we curate unforgettable experiences. From the first welcome to the final course, every dish is thoughtfully crafted to tell a story, awaken the senses, and leave your guests with memories that linger long after the final bite.

Because the most memorable gatherings aren’t measured by the menu—they’re remembered by the way they made you feel.
