    The dinner was fantastic. The service that Alex, our server provided was extraordinary. The cold seafood plate was a dish we will order again and celebrating our friend’s birthday was really special. We were all so glad to be there.

    Fantastic Easter lunch. Since it was Easter thought I would try the lamb chops. Our waiter highly recommended them and they were the best I ever had. He also recommended a nice red wine which matched perfectly. Very friendly waiter and staff. Capital Grille is a rare treat for us, can’t afford this often, but it was a great meal and dining experience.

    Service was great. Food was delicious. The green garnish wasn’t an enhancement- it was limp. Very good meal!

    Capital Grille he has become our family go to place for celebrations. Our recent visit was to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, our table was nicely decorated and, has always been the case, there was a note to the celebrant from the restaurant... A very nice touch! The the food portions are generous and the preparation was perfect. The 10 ounce fillet was prepared as requested with a pink center and perfectly cooked. All other meal choices and the appetizers were we're deliciously prepared. Our server, Brandi, was cordial, informative about dinner selections and attentive. A chocolate martini that was ordered was delicious and prepared as requested, without chocolate syrup. Our special occasion was acknowledged with Brandi bringing us a complementary dessert and glasses of champagne. This is a restaurant that you don't need a special occasion to go to. Prices are appropriate so anytime you want a thoroughly enjoyable meal in a pleasing ambience, that won't disappoint, you should consider this as your destination.
