It
was
my
husband's
birthday
and
our
first
visit
to
a
Capital
Grille
in
CT.
I
have
been
to
the
Capital
Grille
in
Boston
near
the
Colonnade
and
enjoyed
the
meal,
but
this
location's
service
and
excellent
preparation
of
our
meal
was
superb,
"made
me
say
I
have
to
return".
The
valet
parking
occurred
quick
and
was
appreciated
as
parking
downtown
can
be
a
pain.
Hostess
was
courteous
and
while
walking
to
our
table
every
employee
we
passed
greeted
us.
Nick
Nusso
was
our
waiter
and
made
my
experience
even
better.
He
was
attentive,
made
excellent
recommendations
and
was
very
patient
with
my
hard
to
please
guest.
I
truly
appreciated
how
Nick
handled
everything
that
was
thrown
at
him.
Hats
off
to
Chef
Fred
and
his
line
staff.
We
started
our
meal
by
having
oysters,
calamari
and
steak
tartare
for
appetizers.
The
steak
tartare
was
okay,
a
little
too
mushy/wet
for
our
liking
(I
think
it
was
brushed
with
an
egg
wash
too),
calamari
was
good,
but
the
oysters
were
the
best
I
have
had
since
hubby
and
I
went
to
Abe
and
Louie's.
They
were
perfect
and
fresh
with
just
the
right
amount
of
that
salty
ocean
flavor,
I
loved
the
pepper,
garlic,
red
wine
vinegar
mix
that
came
on
the
side
too.
I
had
to
order
a
drink
I
enjoyed
the
oysters
so
much,
and
decided
to
order
their
signature
drink
which
is
the
Stoli
Doli,
I
ended
up
getting
two,
lol.
Our
ribeye
steaks
were
seared
and
cooked
to
perfection,
medium
rare.
The
picture
of
mine
with
the
shallot
butter
doesn't
do
it
justice,
It
was
soooo
good
and
was
kind
of
a
combo
with
the
Kona
rub
and
shallot
butter.
It
was
recommended
by
our
waiter
Nick
because
I
liked
the
description
for
the
preparation
of
the
NY
strip
but
I'm
a
ribeye
girl
and
I
wasn't
in
the
mood
for
a
strip
that
night.
For
sides,
we
ordered
the
mashed
potatoes,
roasted
asparagus,
and
lobster
mac
n
cheese.
The
mashed
potatoes
shocked
me
with
the
freshness
and
flavors,
hard
to
get
great
mashed
potatoes
nowadays,
I
enjoyed
the
butter
and
garlic
they
incorporated,
it
was
a
perfect
amount
of
flavor.
The
asparagus
was
roasted
and
seasoned
well,
the
lobster
mac
n
cheese
had
visible
lobster
pieces
but
didn't
provide
a
wow
factor.
We
also
had
dessert
and
coffee,
I
had
a
cappuccino,
excellent
cappuccino
Nick.
From
the
valet
service
to
the
end
of
our
meal
the
service
and
food
was
impeccable.
We
will
definitely
be
back,
my
mom
has
a
birthday
soon,
lol.
Thank
you
for
a
very
memorable
night
and
the
best
meal
I
have
had
in
a
while.
Well
worth
every
dollar.
