The Capital Grille

I wish I could give a great review, because I've been to Capital Grille a few times and had great food and service. We don't get to go out often, because life doesn't allow. When we plan to spend the kind of money we do at Capital Grille, we expect the best of everything! Unfortunately, our most recent visit was extremely disappointing. My husband took me here for my 40th birthday, and we watched as the table next to us got A+ service. Not sure why the two of us didn't. I had to ask for a wine list. Had to ask for a refill on water. My steak was burnt on the outside. I ordered it medium rare and it was dry and overcooked. Our waiter never came back to ask if everything was cooked to our liking. The best part of the entire dinner was my glass of wine. The rest of the food was just mediocre. We spent close to $300, and was disappointed with our entire experience!! I even waited 2 weeks to write this review, because I thought maybe I wouldn't be as upset after a little time passed. I'd th

Wonderful, Classy, and upscale. The wine menu was exclusive and lengthy. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Both the steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. The Parmesan fries were delicious but seemed oddly out of place with such a decadent meal…still worth it though. Went for a birthday celebration and received the dessert as a comp from them…the chocolate dessert was very rich and the cheesecake was creamy—both very excellent! We tried all the Bourbon drinks but the in fashion was my personal favorite! Highly recommend but be prepared to pay for the ambiance, exquisite food tastes, and drink selections! Worth it though!

This was truly an exceptional meal and experience. From the service to the atmosphere and each course in between, we enjoyed our visit. The stand-outs were the crab cakes, lamb chops, sea bass and cheese cake! I've been to many CGs, but I think this may be #1.
