My husband and I went here last night for dinner just to try it as we had heard a lot of good things about it. $100 later, we left disappointed. The service was nice, but the food was on par with Ruby Tuesday, and for the amount we paid we could have just gone there 4 times or Fogo De... More

I visited Capital Grill for dinner in February. The atmosphere is nice, but nothing memorable. Same goes for the food. We had two appetizers, steaks and lobster, followed by desert. While the food was good and service was excellent, it was nothing spectacular. I had better steak.. However, it is a good choice for a nice dinner.

We arrived about 45 minutes early for our lunch reservation and had the choice between going to our table or heading to the bar. We decided to have a pre-lunch cocktail and were not disappointed. The selection and quality of the drinks was above expectations. Lunch was great with a nice selection of appetizers and main courses. The crab cocktail... More

Surprisingly for a chain, this is one of my favorite places. There is a great combination of wonderful service and excellent food. I came here tonight for dinner while in town for business and again wasn't disappointed. I ordered the delmonico with balasmic medium rare. It was cooked as I had requested. Service was attentive and pleasant. Not much more... More

The Capital Grille is a unique cullinary experience. It's not your $12 streak, more like $40 and above, but every bite worth every cent invested. I visited there with a couple of good friends who came to see me, and we decided to celebrate in a good meal. It exceeded our expectations. What mattered to me no less than the... More

Went on a special occasion and were treated very personally. The steak special, done with smoked mushrooms and blue cheese sauce, was spectacular. Very pricey but our experience was worth it.

I was only there for lunch, and only one time, but I thought it was average, although the presentation of the food was actually very well done. I'll give it one more try the next time I am in town, given the other reviews. Maybe they had an off day.

Terrific wines by the glass. Great steak, sides and service every time ! I love the bone in rib-eye. My wife and daughter love the tenderloin. Creamed spinach, grilled asparagus and sauteed mushrooms were all great sides.
