The Capital Grille

My niece wanted to celebrate her birthday at The Capital Grille located in Lyndhurst, OH. There were five guest. We arrived about 15 minutes before our 5 o'clock reservation. The hostess was very nice and immediately seated us. The wait staff was professional and pleasant as well. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, calm, and inviting. The restaurant was clean and the tables were dressed well! Our dinner consisted of: One person ordered the Crock of Caramelized French Crock ($12), (For the Table) Parmesan Truffle Fries ($11), Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushrooms and Parmesan Risotto ($35) Two people ordered the Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence, both medium well. ($54 each) Another person ordered, (For the Table) Roasted Wild Mushrooms ($12), Bone-In Lina Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with Shallot Butter, medium rare. ($57) Another ordered the Seared Salmon with Heirloom Tomatoes, White Wine Butter and Lemon Basil Mosto ($41). Three people

Exceptional food and service! For appetizers, we had the calamari and the lobster/crab cakes. Both were very good. For entrees, we had the filet, NY strip steak, chicken with risotto and salmon. We all really enjoyed our respective entrees. I had the 10 oz filet mignon. It was my favorite steak I’ve had so far in Cleveland and we have had a lot of good steaks here. For sides to share, we got the lobster Mac n cheese, au gratin potatoes, asparagus and mashed potatoes. We did not care for the au gratin potatoes, but everything else was good! The au gratin potatoes tasted like sour cream and chives and were just not our style. The only other misses in our meal was the clam chowder and the bordelaise sauce that we had for our steaks. The clam chowder tasted good but tasted almost identical to the clam chowder that is sold at GFS. The bordelaise sauce was just a miss all together in terms of flavor. Our server, Jharell, was fantastic. He was friendly and attentive. We are excited to return

Outstanding meal and outstanding service! Enjoyed a wonderful meal last week at this standout steakhouse that always delivers. We started with the bacon appetizer, and it was excellent. Order 1 of these for 4 people and you’ll all get a great sampling. Caesar salad is also excellent. If steak is your thing.. which is why you’re going here.. you can’t go wrong with the bone-in NY, or the bone-in Ribeye. Both excellent choices. I had the peppercorn on the NY and it was terrific. Perfectly cooked. The triple filet sampler - also a great choice. Sides- if you only get one, make it the au gratin potatoes- so good! Service from Renee was excellent, offering a deliberately slow pace- ensuring the perfect dining experience. Of the desserts we tried, the Crème Brûlée was the best. The Coconut Crème was just meh- lacking in coconut flavour. All in all, a perfect evening. ???? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
