    Amazing steakhouse. We went with a party of 5 ... Thank goodness we had reservations. The service was amazing, and despite being pretty high end steakhouse not too snooty. We had some teenagers and they really enjoyed it. Steaks are top notch, but I gotta say the sides were some of the best- lobster Mac, Brussels, truffle fries. Great drinks and a nice wine menu. They do not rush you which is great.

    I absolutely loved this place! I had my birthday dinner there unfortunately I had to go alone. But the staff was so amazing and attentive; I didn't feel alone at all. They checked on me so much I didn't even have time to cry lbs. There was a birthday card and confetti on the table upon my arrival that melted my heart. The lobster crab cakes were literally to die for! They even topped it off with the most decadent dessert in the perfect portion. The atmosphere was very intimate. The people were all casual professionals minding their own tables, which I appreciated not being stared at lol Thank you, capital grille, for making my birthday special 💫💙

    Celebrated my wife’s birthday here. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the food and service was great. We did not expect to have complimentary cake and champagne for the occasion, which was very appreciated! Thank you for giving us a nice experience. We will definitely be back!

    Delicious dishes, way over priced but you are paying for the name and ambiance. I recommend the steak and salmon. Cooked to perfection. The crab cakes are also amazing. Not too fond of the bar but the wine has a nice selection. Great date night or birthday spot. End the night with a dessert.... you will certainly enjoy it.

    I love this restaurant, we went twice in one day. It was recommended by an employee at the mall for lunch and she suggested we try the “lobster burger”. We called and they said they no longer have it on the menu but they checked with the chef and he said he will make it. Once we arrived at the restaurant, not only did they have our table waiting for us, they already had told our wonder waitress Jennifer and she just confirmed once we were seated. Jen service was so nice and welcoming that we came back the same night for dinner and asked to be seated in her section. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Thank you so much Jen for the wonderful food recommendations and pairing of the wine. We really appreciate you and your service!

    Located at the end cap of the mall. Valet parking available as well as parking in the mall lot for free. The restaurant is dark wood and feels like a club. The staff are friendly the server went out of his way to make the experience pleasant and memorable good knowledge of wines. The food portions were massive. Food well seasoned.

    Great Dinner location. Not for holidays though. Random dinner night is best. Valet was too packed… I literally blocked traffic so they can take my truck. I had the Kona Bone-In. It was ok. I should have tried the lamb rib chops. The lobster mac & cheese was extremely hot all the way until you finished it… perfect. I would certainly eat here again. I think its better for lunch in my opinion. Ruth Chris has a better steak. Service was good … we had Adrian Orgill as My server. Was really good tipped him $50 …. Overall it was a good spot.

    My wife and I have been coming to the Capital Grill for about 1/3 of a century. This particular Capital Grill is the best we have ever been to in all our travels, significantly better than the closer Boca Raton for us. Traveling to the Galleria Mall and lunch at The Capital is a wonderful treat. The Calamari is the best anywhere we have ever eaten in the USA & Europe. You will never eat calamari at another restaurant or another Capital Grill (see the photo)! We love everything, but they have the best meat, see the rare burger photo that you cannot get anywhere rare and safe like the Capital. Management and all servers and support staff are warm, smiling in a friendly upscale environment. Many claim it is expensive, but they have the best lunch choices less than a not so charming local buffets that are not clean. The Capital Grill is immaculate, kitchen is open for all to see, dignified, warm, large roomy tables, the bathrooms are the best in the area and if you want wine they have a superb selection (see photo). The Capital is a great spot for a date. It is quiet, cozy and dignified all in a great package. Moreover, you can also eat outside if that is your preference.

    Went here for the hubby's birthday dinner.... and we were so impressed. Had an 8:45pm reservation, arrived earlier than planned, and they were able to accommodate us. Service was superb. Food was plendid. They even had a birthday card waiting at the table for the hubby, and a complimentary dessert. All in all, we had a really good evening. Thank you Capital Grille

    Dinner reservation at 6pm. Everything was ok. Calamari 6/10, lobster and crab Cakes lemon basil aioli 7/10, the bread and butter was an 7/10 , lobster bisque 6/10 and all the sides was a 6/10. Although I must say, lobster mac n cheese was 9/10 the flavor was on point. Most importantly compliment to the chef, Filet Mignon and Porcini-Rubbed bone-in Ribeye with 15 year aged balsamic was cooked to Perfection with pink in the middle , juicy and buttery. The steaks was a 10/10. Add Oscar on top Filet Mignon was a great recommendation from our server. Also recommended by our server was their in house made key lime pie. The decor was beautifully done but it was too overly sour for my taste. Mango puree drizzle was a fantastic idea. Complimentary Creme brulee was room temperature, I prefer a bit more cold at the bottom. Thank you for the birthday card.

    First time eating at The Capital Grille, and the food was a hit. And of course, their famous lobster Mac n cheese had me in a choke hold.....soo delicious! Service was on point, friendly, and helpful. Drink wise, I'm a mojito kinda girl, so I got the passion fruit mojito (the best Mojito I had in a while since moving to GA). I will definitely check out their GA location to compare, but overall, dinner and drinks were absolutely delicious.

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a nice dinner at Capital Grille and was met with exceptional service, delicious food, and a welcoming environment. We ordered the miso glazed fish and filet with Mac & cheese. Everything was cooked to perfection.

    It was just the two of us for Thanksgiving and we had reservations at another restaurant. I did put an alert at OpenTable for Capital Grille and we were lucky to get a table a couple of hours before the seating. We canceled the other reservation. We had no idea Capital Grille had such a nice spread for Thanksgiving. Turkey and all the trimmings and at the same time, I could order what I wanted from their regular menu. Although the restaurant was at full capacity, the service was A+ like always and the food excellent. This restaurant is always consistent in their quality.

    The calamari was a 10/10 highly recommend. I got my steak well done and it was ok. In my opinion it lack flavor. My truffle fries were perfection! Chefs kiss

    This is the first time I have gone to Capital Grille. We went as an early Father's Day late lunch; the food was excellent. In addition to the food, the whole experience was made even better by the top-notch service Charles provided. He is one of the most personable, patient, and attentive servers I have had the pleasure to meet. Posted on their website is a polite notice of recommended proper attire to maintain a "refined atmosphere"; I suggest dressy casual. While I didn't see anything posted about children, it is probably best to keep the little ones at home.

    I had an excellent time at this extremely well organized establishment. The service has been absolutely phenomenal and the workers have been a delight. Walking in I immediately felt welcomed and was quickly seated. It was my father’s birthday and the everyone wishing him happy birthday was very heartwarming. The food has exceeded all my expectations and I am BEYOND impressed. I will one HUNDRED percent be recommending this restaurant to my friends. 10/10

    I’ve always enjoyed the ambiance here. Visited recently with my mum and stepdad for his birthday. The staff put in a little extra effort to make the evening special so extra points for hospitality! I always order the calamari appetizer and would recommend to anyone that enjoys a lightly battered, fresh, and tender calamari. I ordered the Roasted Pear and Gorgonzola salad for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the balance of flavor. I was a little less enthusiastic about the flat ginger ale used in my Moscow Mule but it was hardly enough to ruin an otherwise delightful evening. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Tony K. 1 year ago on Google
    A slight misunderstanding resolved quickly, and the excellent service by an excellent staff resumed as usual. Still high-quality food as years past, worth a special occasion or just lunch/dinner. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 DistortedBliss 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great! Our waitress was super sweet Started with the black tie margarita rich I would have preferred more sweet than tart but still good! Decently strong I ordered the mini tenderloin sandwich with Caesar salad and truffle fries! Cesar was good but the dressing was a little too salty. The mini tenderloin sandwiches were delicious! I have learned I don’t like truffle fries :0 I’m sorry I know but uhm I wasn’t a fan of the flavor. But still good just not for me! My mom and our friend both got the seared tuna and they both enjoyed it! I would definitely go back

    Another stomp at the Capital Grill at the Galleria Mall last night to celebrate a friends birthday and another memorable dinner evening (2430 E. Commercial BL, Ft Laud). The place was full. All the ladies were dressed to the nines, a pageantry of summer haute couture, but the men were more casually sporty, yet making sure that their diamond studded Rolexes’ bling would be noticed by all. Everything was excellent except the French onion soup that was uninspiring, bland, and the top layer of Gruyère was thin and barely melted. The other appetizers were: a wedge lettuce topped with blue cheese dressing and large morsels of thick smoked bacon; and, a shrimp cocktail loaded with 5 XL shrimps. Our entrées were: a generous portion of 4 double-bone meaty lamb chops with a mint-honey crust with under a wine-shallot jus, prepared to perfection; a bone-in Kona crusted (coffee rubbed) dry-aged NY strip covered with shallot butter sauce, prepared medium-rate providing a vigorous flavor; and, the roasted chicken breast enveloped in a crisp outer layer texture, yet moist and tender (the mushroom and Parmesan risotto side was substituted for garlic green beans). The table-sharing accoutrements were boats of: cream spinach, smooth and tasty; au-gratin potatoes in a blend of cheeses – delicious but the cheese sauce was way too saucy for my liking); and Brussels sprouts sautéed in a spicy infusion to elevate its flavor, then broiled for crispy texture . We were too full for dessert, but they brought a complimentary b-day platter with 2 mini cake samples (chocolate mousse cake and crème brûlée). Excellent! (Because of the meh soup, I would have given this review 4.5 stars but I’m going for 5. I’ve had that soup many times before and it always was excellent, but because the soup was bland yesterday, maybe it was only yesterday. The food was About $75/person – not including alcoholic drinks, tax, and gratuity).

    I just had an awesome experience there, we had a reservation for our anniversary and from the moment we got in until we left everything was great. The food was delicious and the service perfect. Highly recommended...

  • 5/5 Lorrayne L. 2 years ago on Google
    We had our anniversary dinner over there and it was just awesome. They prepared a table especially for us (with hearts and a hand written card), everyone was nice and real with us (not those fake smiles or forced good evenings we see sometimes). We enjoyed the food, the service, the ambience... the recommendations were great and I had one of the best lamb chops I ever ate... well the evening was amazing and for sure I will be back as soon as possible. (I wish I had more pictures, but I remembered to take them only when we got the deserts 😅)

  • 5/5 Manuel B. 2 years ago on Google
    First class service and quality in every aspect. We had Filet Mignon and NY Strip. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and they had a beautiful detail. Drinks were delicious too. A must!!!

  • 4/5 Ann H. 2 years ago on Google
    8/27/21- went for a early lunch. Sat at the bar. They have a lunch special, called PLATE .$22.00, soup,or salad and a choose of 5-6 entrees. Hubby order the soup which was clam chowder plus he went with the mini tenderloin sandwich ( looked more like sliders ) . Plus a order of the Truffle fries. I had the Tendorloin Cobb Salad, switched the dressing to the Champagne vinaigrette, it was a little thick , I didn’t expect that but it was tasty

  • 5/5 John A. 2 years ago on Google
    Chef Mark’s new appetizer, Red Snapper is a must try. Such great flavors and presentation. We have eaten at many Capital Grills, but this dinner was over the top. Our server Michael is a true professional. Great time.
