Moving my reviews over from Yelp. This great evening took place on 10/24/18: I started to pull out my old college thesaurus to find a few better words to describe how much I enjoyed dining at Capital Grille but somehow I keep coming back to DAMN!!! Damn good service! Everything we wanted was provided, promptly and with a smile. Every question was answered. Every thing that should have happened, happened. Damn good cocktails! I started with something along the lines of a blackberry bourbon sidecar and finished with their version of an old fashioned. Both were perfect and deliciously strong. Damn nice bread basket! I like a good bread service. I enjoy some variety and they delivered in spades. My favorite of the varieties I tasted has to be their pumpernickel. I rarely eat that stuff for a reason - it can be pretty dry and lacking in flavor. Suffice to say their version was the exact opposite. Full of flavor, slightly chewy and delicious. Also, they sprinkle their butter patties with sea salt. Who doesn't love that? Damn good shrimp appetizer. Ginormous shrimp in a delectable sauce that just begged to be mopped up with the saturated bread (similar to a focaccia) that was plated under the shrimp. Big thanks to Steven B for sharing those with the table! Damn fine prime rib! I would not say that I'm a connoisseur but I do enjoy a good plate of prime rib and I know a bad plate of prime rib as well...looking at you, US Army formal banquet food (I kid you not, dear reader: once we had a waiter come around after setting down the plates and offer everyone extra fat). I digress. This was a really, really good prime rib. They must have applied the crusting material with a trowel because it was thick enough that it endured all the way to the table and the savory flavors it brought to the party made those outside bites just THAT much better. The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare as I ordered. Juicy, tender and perfect. Less than mind-blowing was the clam chowder but still perfectly serviceable. There were side dishes as well but they faded into the background as I concentrated on finishing my prime rib and eating the bone marrow that came on the side. I was pretty well smoked after consuming all of the above but somehow got talked into participating in dessert. They served us a warm apple galette with vanilla ice cream on top. I hate to say this but I think my enjoyment of the dessert was hampered by how full I was before it arrived. Damn fine evening! Thanks again to Steven B for organizing and to Capital Grill for their $45 3-course Sunday dinner. Shout-out to Stephen W. and Mel A. for attending as well. I'll gladly dine with you again!
Bestie treated us to a dinner here. Our waiter, Greg W., had a good sense of humor, liked to discuss his travels, and was amazing at his job. Every dish was perfect. Atmosphere was cozy and quiet but not stuffy. Very clean. Low lighting was romantic!
MARK our Sever did an OUTSTANDING JOB! He did a phenomenal job best service ive ever had ! On top of that food was amazing ! Steak and Seabass was so good ! Caviar appetizer was really tasty m u first time having it i loved it. Also the mashed potatoes and spinach was outta this world. Dessert tasted like grandma's apple pie ! Will most definitely be back ! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅
I always order the lamb chops at Capital Grille. They are delicious, tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked how I like them. And the mash potatoes are so YUMMY. Whew! This time I decided to try the calamari as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. The peppers gave it just the right amount of flavor and kick. Honestly, this is the only restaurant where I don't mind spending anywhere close to $100 on a meal just for myself because the experience is always worth it. Let me not forget about the servers who are always friendly, attentive and professional.
We made a reservation for our anniversary and our server was Greg. He was amazing throughout the entire evening from having our special table prepped to wine knowledge/recommendations, and provided the perfect balance of service and experience. It’s no wonder he had so many stars on his jacket 😍. We enjoyed the filet, lobster mac, brussels, and burrata heirloom tomato salad, along with simply lovely desserts.. Thank you Greg and the kitchen staff for making our night!!
