starting with the calamari....portioned for a group of 3 or 4, i threw most of it away. the lobster roll had an amazing amount of lobster in it, but it wasn't creamy as i anticipated and the herbs gave it a flavor not expected in a lobster roll. However, service by Sam (Samantha) at the bar was second to none.... More

You will not be disappointed! Located in International Mall right beside Tampa Intl Airport. They have a superb wine list and some really great steaks and seafood. This place has some private rooms you can reserve and the decor is historic and political. The bar area is like the ultimate man cave. Some favorite dishes I always enjoy: Lobster Mac,... More

We celebrated our anniversary last night and was completely amazed with the service and attention to the smallest details. Our table was decorated with rose petals and little red hearts and there was a very nice "HAppy Anniversary" card signed by all staff, 2 complementary glasses of champaign and everyone was smiling and wishing us the best. I was really... More

Fun location, right in Bay Street at International Mall. Lots going on around you. Great service and wonderful food and drinks. Very pricey, so it is best for special occasions.

I have been a patron of capital grille since not long after it opened at International Plaza having eaten there a few dozen times with friends and family. On the last 3 visits, the wait staff was pleasant enough but the food (steak and sides) arrived luke warm or downright cold. This occurred even after telling the waiter of the... More

The steaks are good at Capital Grille. The atmosphere is a little stuffy. Good place for an early business dinner, not the best place for a special occasion. Other steak houses are better for the price.

My friend and I ate here and it was really good! Great variety of drinks - delicious mochatini, some type of margarita and another drink which I fail to remember. To eat, I had shrimp and crab rolls - not bad, the sauce really made the dish though. Lobster - pretty good. Crab cake appetizer - not as good as... More

We are "very fortunate" to be able to afford being selective where we eat... We decided to have lunch at Capital Grille before shopping at the Int'l Plaza. Unfortunately, the food quality was just average but the service was outstanding (very nice atmosphere). Overall, not worth the stop ($$$ lunch for a $ meal). We will not return.
