    The food was delicious! The Filet Minon was juicey and full of flavor the mash potatoes melts in your mouth. Even the salad had a zesty taste that was so satisfying. We top the night off with a nice red wine. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was top notch. She was very attentive to our needs and made all the right suggestion from the steak to to the wine and even gave us a sweet dessert to end our anniversary celebration. Would definitely recommend for a nice evening out and a satisfying meal.

    Intimate and cozy interior with white tablecloths and an upscale feel. Checking in was quick and seamless, the table was set with a nice card for the anniversary I attended for. My chicken was juicy and tasty, my dinner mate's steak was visibly burnt and tasted so. Management quickly came over to say the steak was supposed to be that way and was condescending in saying "did you even try it?". After the "complaint" the shift in our server's attitude was apparent, as if it was rude of us to point out the meal was unsatisfactory. Creamed spinach used too much nutmeg, calamari was great. Generous with the bread too. The lobster mac had only 2 pieces of lobster. We received a complimentary dessert that was okay. They started off strong but if the steak situation was handled properly it could've been better.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with several friends at The Capitsl Grille. The service and food were excellent, and the atmosphere warm, friendly and relaxing. We always enjoy eating at the Grille. The entrees and sides are all delicious. I especially liked the lamb shanks and the lobster mac & cheese. It's great for a special occasion with friends, date night, or to just treat oneself to a bit of luxury.

    Had a great dinner, I would recommend the lobster Mac and cheese, it was great. The steak was cooked beautifully. The Chilean sea bass, was also a great choice, the Crème brûlée was a great choice for dessert, will be back after my pockets recover.

    Do not eat here. Got a medium well filet mignon and lobster mac and cheese and truffle fries. There was 2 pieces of lobster, and the cheese was like a bland liquid at the bottom. Had 0 flavor at all, lobster was cold. Steak was ok, nothing crazy. Fries was very soggy and tasted like a bunch of salt. STAY AWAY my stomach is starting to hurt now. Waste of $100. Update-I have now vomited. Will be contacting the store

    The Capital Grille is an amazing dining experience. If you're willing to pay top dollar and not mind paying $$$$, you must eat here. Everything about thing place is amazing. My server was one of the best servers I ever had. The food is amazing, especially the steak- the Filet Mignon is exceptional. During the summer there is an all you can drink wine menu for $35, which is a steal. The bread basket they bring you has a great selection of breads- very yum! Also, there is a kid's menu so The Capital Grille is also suitable for families. If you you don't mind the mall traffic, and spending more than you may be used to, you have to dine at The Capital Grille at least once in your life.

    Had two birthdays to celebrate and decided on coming here. Had our private room. Place was charming right after Christmas. The servers as always was pleasant and responsive. Our inlaws who have been here a few time and this was my first, but I must say we'll be coming back. Food was terrific and I have to say the steak was spot on. 👌

    Check-in was quick and easy. There was ample parking outside, and valet service, if you prefer. Cozy and comfortable seating with a sophisticated backdrop. The quality of our order was excellent, and we had the best experience with our server Andrea, his personality enhanced the experience to the next level…. he was awesome! The food is authentic; to start with, we ordered the Roasted Pear and Gorgonaola Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette… amazing combination of flavors. For our main course, I ordered the Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushrooms and Parmesan Risotto. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, loved my creamy Risotto, it was like I was dining in Italy :) My Husband ordered the Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig essence with a side of Sam's Mashed Potatoes. The filet was so tender we cut it with a fork! For dessert, we shared a slice of Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake, which came decorated with fresh raspberries and real whipped cream… decadent! All the flavors were harmoniously paired together to sing in your mouth. I Highly recommend this place.

    Can’t believe it took me this long, but finally I have made a trip to the Capital Grille. The place was much better than my anticipation, nice dining area, with huge wine wall, soft ambience, and a short well structured menu. I did made a reservation to guarantee my table. We started with lobster bisque soup, very creamy, lots of lobster. Then we got 16oz ribeye and sea bass for entree. Steak was cooked nicely, soft with red in the middle. Sea bass was also moist and cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese side was pretty big and well made. Crunchy crumbles on the top. Got a refreshing citrus mojito to company my meal. The food understandably took a while to come out. Service was great, everyone very attentive, and sharing the work among all tables. I was with the upscale and magnificent dining experience at this CG.

    We went there for a company toast to celebrate a recent win. The service was a bit over doing it and the stake readiness was over than the desired preparation. If it was a private occasion I would have returned it for a redo. The desserts were great. Looking at the prices, for an upscale lunch out it's decent. If I would have paid the full amount for a dinner course, I would be highly disappointed. Might give it another try before I cross out this restaurant.

    Fantastic service, delicious food and top notch hospitality. Dominick (our waiter) was absolutely amazing and provided superb service. His personality was very welcoming and friendly. He explained the menu, answered our questions and gave suggestions that worked best for our party of 11. Michael (co-waiter) and Juan was amazing as well. Super cool and very friendly. Everyone’s food came out exactly how we ordered, hot and delicious. My family and I had an amazing experience.

    We got together for a Birthday Dinner and the overall experience was great..! Staff were very friendly and took special care since it was a Birthday Dinner - free Champagne Toast and couple of Desserts for the Table. All the dishes we ordered tasted awesome - I did feel that the Lobster Tails that I had was a little overcooked, but definitely not worth knocking down a Star. Coctails were also pretty good. Ambience and Decor was quite nice and the Prices seemed reasonable for a restaurant of its scale, so nothing to complain.

    My husband took me to The Capital Grille to celebrate my birthday. It was my first time there, and let me say it did not disappoint! Our waitress, Danielle was awesome. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. She made some suggestions that we took her up on. Glad we did. Everything from the atmosphere, food and service was top notch. Will definitely be back, and will be sure to ask for Danielle

    The restaurant looks good and food is great in my opinion! Nice place for fancy dates. Only one thing, I felt like our waiter was in rush and didn’t give us enough attention for the price of food and TIP I paid for. I like to ask questions about food and menu but waiter had short answers, seemed in rush and I felt like we had to wait forever for the check…

  • 4/5 Haslyn A. 5 months ago on Google
    Second time here, great atmosphere and staff. Andrea was our waiter he’s amazing too, the speed of service was outstanding. We did not wait long for our appetizers, or the food in general. The pictures aren’t everything we ordered either. We were celebrating our anniversary focused on each other most importantly.

    Where do I begin.. amazing restaurant, amazing food, amazing staff. Husband made reservations for our anniversary and when we arrived to our table, there were heart decorations and a card stating “Happy Anniversary”. Our server Jared was spoiling us the whole night with great conversation and desserts to celebrate our night. He was an amazing guy and the food was very very delicious. Everything was perfect and never felt more appreciated in a restaurant! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is being celebrated!

    Great place to have a few drinks and some food with friends. We only had apps but were absolutely perfect. Fried calamari with hot peppers was fresh and cooked perfect and oyster platter was great 👍 Next time I got to try one of their entries. Bartender was a good guy too.

  • 5/5 Marie 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful dining experience! It's possibly the best restaurant I've been to. Even though they were very busy, they were very accommodating with our need to alter our reservation. The drinks were great, and the food was exceptional. The oysters were fresh, and the lamb chops were plentiful and wonderfully prepared. Review of second visit: I decided to splurge for my son's 16th birthday by treating him to dinner at The Capital Grill, and the service was top-notch. I included in the reservation that we'd be celebrating a birthday, and to my surprise, our table was festively decorated, and a birthday card was also included. He also received a complimentary celebration dessert. Our server Abby was exceptional. Looking forward to celebrating more milestones here in the future.
