    We had a surprise 55th Birthday Celebration. Our experience was phenomenal as always. Our table was ready promptly upon arrival. Our waiter was friendly, informative, and beyond attentive. The food was delicious from the 1st course through dessert. It was a great experience and we will be dining here again in the near future. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful celebration.

    We started off with the lobster bisque which was amazing. We then had the lobster and crab cakes as an appetizer which was the best tasting I have ever had. And my main course was the steak with salad some butter over the top. The steak was one of the best tasting I have ever had. He then brought us a dessert I believe it was a little piece of cheesecake and a chocolate cake which was excellent and I topped it off with a cappuccino. During the dinner I had three black Thai margaritas which were made to perfection. This restaurant is highly recommended. It is a bit expensive so strap in.

    The service was excellent. Drinks we had was also excellent. Their complimentary bread basket was fresh and delicious. Dishes were not bad but too salty overall. It could be people’s preferred saltiness in this region is different from where we are from. Other than that, we liked our food. We stayed in this neighborhood every time visiting Baltimore, and it is really the only place we can get a decent cut of dry age steak. With tax and tips, we paid about $110 per person. We also had been to the Capital Grille in DC - the food tasted better and not as salty.

    The Capital Grill in Baltimore was so worth every penny. The dim lighting really sets the mood. The cold shellfish platter (appetizer) was amazing and enough to share with a group. As an entree I ordered the lamb rib chops which were cooked to perfection. I paired that with a side of mashed potatoes which were equally as good. I ordered their cosmopolitan because it’s a sexy drink and matched the vibe! The drink was quite tasty. Our server was amazing! I would totally go back.

    I’ve always been very skeptical about visiting this location but I am very glad that I didn’t let my skepticism stop me. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my time at this restaurant. The ribeye steak was absolutely delicious and the cocktails were just the same. The bread that they serve was so good, I had to ask for more to take home. Our waiter went above and beyond to provide us with excellent service. I wish I could remember who he was because I’d mention him. A absolute visit.

    Being a chain, it’s easy to overlook a place like this. I’ve been to The Capital Grille in many different states, and the key is consistency. Their food is always good, no matter what you order. Their service and ambiance are high class. Never any issues or mediocrity. This time, we got the ahi tuna tartare for an appetizer, lamb chops with Demi glace, and the Kona crusted NY strip. It’s hard to determine which of the entrees was best. Absolutely delicious top to bottom of the meal. Our server was lovely and very attentive. If you’re going to spend this kind of money, it’s a solid option- always 5 stars.

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and felt so welcomed. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive to our needs. Our water glasses never went empty. The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned, from the steak to the mashed potatoes. Manny was our server and he was amazing, he was extremely kind and really made our night. We had come to celebrate our anniversary so the attention to detail including a handwritten note congratulating us on our milestone meant a lot to us. Thank you for the amazing service tonight! Highly recommend and will be returning on our next trip back to Baltimore.

    Food was just amazing. Bread basket was beautiful with artisan breads and appetizer tray so good. Filet was perfect!

  • 5/5 Isabella Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was amazing. My server Laura was welcoming and attentive, and she ensured my dining experience at Capital Grille is as best as possible. I loved how they would sprinkle little confetti for a decoration to celebrate my bday along with a handwritten card, too. Food was phenomenal as well. Their seafood is always super fresh, and the balsamic steak, their one of chef's suggestions, is always 💯 and baked to your liking with perfection. I was also treated with surprise bday desserts. I will most definitely come back soon for another nice time. Highly recommend this amazing restaurant 👍

    Went for my birthday, everything tasted amazing. I asked for the fries to be on the crispier side but it was ok. We had a lot of appetizers beforehand so decided to not get much sides. Has the best birthday dessert I have ever tried

    Came here for lunch. Service is fast and friendly.food tastes really good. $$$ 3 people, 4 appetizers of lobster bisque, tuna tartare, truffle fries, and calamari. 3 entrees of tomahawk lamb, seared tenderloin with lobster tail, and grilled chiken with risotto (chiken kind of too dry to my taste). We also ordered two alcohol drinks. We spent $320 with tax and tips. Its a fine dining establishment. Dress appropriately. However; I did see some patrons that dressed casual and still be served. So if you did not dress for the dining experience, you can still be served. I deduct 1 star for atmosphere due to how outdated the place is. There were dusts in the ornaments pieces, like the fake flowers, the statues,and the casino like carpets. I believe they can upgrade the place better.

    My experience at Capital Grille was excellent. The atmosphere is clean and elegant. It was easy to make a reservation online.. Our waiter was professional, personable, and did not miss a beat. You could tell he loves his job and cared about each table. I ordered the boneless ribeye and mashed potatoes. Both had excellent flavor and taste.

    Me and my boo went here for his birthday dinner. It was both our first times. The service, food, and ambiance were all excellent! Inside was dim and romantic vintage like feel and look. They offer valet for $13 which is paid at your table with dinner. Our waiters name was Paul and he was great! Very personable and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. I ordered the Dry Aged NY Strip Medium and it was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the Filet Mignon Medium also cooked perfectly. Sides were: Lobster Mac n Cheese 10/10 , Asparagus 8/10, and Truffle Fries 10/10. For drinks we both had a Black Tie Margarita but it was a lil too salty and tart. Our waiter noticed I wasn’t enjoying it and offer to change it. Very very nice of him to make sure we were 100% satisfied. Since it was my boyfriends birthday, they brought out a complimentary birthday dish with a candle and variety of treats and 2 glasses of champagne. They also put confetti and and card on the table when we first got there. I love the thoughtfulness and those are this small things I appreciate about restaurants. I will definitely be back here soon. If you go, ask for Paul if you want a wonderful experience.

    I went for my birthday to celebrate and my fiancé had made a reservation prior to. The customer service is amazing and a good fine dining experience. There was a birthday note on the table and cute confetti as well as a delicious birthday dessert but not complimentary. There is a valet for customers so that is wonderful due to the location of being in the downtown inner harbor area there’s usually only street parking or pay for parking garages. Remember you are paying for the experience because the food was good but mediocre for the fine dining atmosphere they have created.

    Excellent food and service! Our waiter Paul was a gentleman and very attentive to all of our requests. Some of our menu highlights: the lobster bisque, the Kona rubbed NY Strip and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. My wife and I enjoyed the Blackberry Sidecar (pictured). Will be back the next time we visit Baltimore!

    Went here for dinner with friends. Both friends enjoyed their lamp chops and ribeye. It should be noted that one is a chef and had no complaints about texture or flavor. I had the sea bass which was a generous portion of buttery goodness with delicate and not overcooked flakes. Our parmesan truffle fries and sauteed spinach were also delicious. My friend's drink was off the menu and exactly fit her request for a sweet fruity cocktail. My mule was as expected. One highlight was the attentive and pleasant Carlos who served us.

    Highly recommend! Elegant, well-appointed restaurant on Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Casual & cozy, yet, upscale in terms of the dinner menu offerings. The wait staff was impeccable - thoughtful, professional & attentive. I highly recommend the filet mignon & the cheesecake! Pictured: French Onion soup & Wedge Salad (our waiter graciously offered to have the portion cut in half and plated to share...because, it's so HUGE!)

    This restaurant has been the best I’ve been too. They will suggest with honesty the best platter, they will cater with such kind heart. The food is plate licking so good. From food to dessert. They need more than 5stars I brought my son with me and they were so kind to help to his comfort I will be coming back again and recommend them for sure.
