Diner Reviews

"My husband and I went with another couple to celebrate both of our Anniversarys. Was amazing, food was wonderful and the service was awesome. We have never been, we will be back. If your looking for a special night out with your spouse, this is the place--great food, great wine--you will not want to leave. At the end they came out with cheese cakes and Happy Anniversay spelled out in chocolate---so yummy. Getting all dressed up and having great food and wine is the way to go! Love it we will be back!"

"We had a wonderful experience at the Capital Grill. A strong pour at the bar, being seated at our table on time, a very thorough and friendly waiter, and then the food itself, which was just perfect."

"Had a wonderful dining experience with my wife as we celebrated our anniversary. From the moment we entered the restaurant we felt like special guests at someone's home. The staff went out of their way to acknowledge our special occasion and to make the night memorable. Our waiter, Matt, was super attentive and allowed us to dine at a very enjoyable pace. From the hostess, to the bus boy, and all the way up to the general manager everyone was professional and friendly. The food was absolutely wonderful. Everything was prepared precisely to our liking and tasted wonderful. I've dined at most of the fine restaurants here in Providence, but I'd have to say that the Capital Grille is certainly in my top three. Well done Capital Grille!"

"The food and service were outstanding. We had to change the time of our reservation at the last minute and they were very accommodating despite it being restaurant week and extremely busy. We had a party of seven and every individual enjoyed their meal choice. The portions were just right and the meal options were varied. The service was attentive and at no point was there a beat missed nor did anyone feel rushed. I would definitely dine here again."

"Four of us decided to have lunch here as part of restaurant week in Providence. We were not disappointed. The choices on the menu gave a idea of the quality that The Capital Grille is renown for. The food was excellent in all respects. We'll definitely return."

"I always dismiss this place as a chain of sorts, but every time I'm back, I remember that it has really great food. Even being here for restaurant week, where quality amongst some places undoubtedly drop, the service and food remained outstanding-will be back soon!"

"Food was very good as usual. The service was bad. We were asked if we would like additional sides. We said yes and they never came. They just collected our dishes. We were not asked if they could validate our parking ticket until we asked them. They supposedly validated it but had to pay $11 to get out. There was no validation. Even getting water was slow."

"Outstanding meal, service and ambiance! Both the Kona steak and the salmon were excellence, and we always love to dine outside if we can get a seat."

"We hit restaurant week without knowing ! What a super deal. Everything was perfect from food to service to dining outside in July!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
"Our dining experience was decent, however, the service was truly terrible. It took our waiter over 10 minutes to greet us and over 30 to place our order. This continued throughout our meal. He did not apologize, nor would he even make eye contact with us as he passed. When spending so much money, you hope to be treated special, and this was the opposite."

"My husband and I made reservations and requested a particular server who happened to be working outside this evening. It was a beautiful night and to our surprise there was live entertainment outside as well!! We had a fabulous dinner and participated in the "Generous Pour" which was a real treat! We danced to the tunes of Frank Sinatra and truly had a wonderful time."
Dined on 7/11/2014
"We have been to this restaurant many times and have given it very good reviews prior to this. 1. We were not seated where we requested although there were tables in that station that remained available throughout our meal. 2. Approximately 10 minute wait to be greeted by our server who then said he would be with us in a few minutes. 3. A different server brought our our steaks while my wife had 1/2 of her chowder still in the bowl and asked her, while she was literally taking a spoonful, "Do you want to hold onto that for a while?" He then waited for my wife to move her bowl so he could set down the steaks. 4. Salad with steak was soggy and seemed to have been dressed for a long while."

"Took advantage of Providence Restaurant Week to try some place a little out of our price range. We were not disappointed! The food and service were terrific! The noise level was pretty loud, so it was not as easy to carry on quiet conversation. Overall, excellent!"

"Food and service was excellent! I would recommend it to all my friends."

"It was restaurant week. The menu even restricted had enough choices for every taste. The service was outstanding and the sirloin steak owas tender and juicy cooked to perfection. For once the green beans were crunchy but cooked, and the mashed potatoes were like velvet. Because we started with a delicious Cesar salad , we could not handle the dessert which we took home in a nice box and a small brown bag. I had the dessert two days later and the chocolate espresso cake tasted as fresh as the day it was made. In conclusion a very positive experience."

"Everything was Fabulous from the moment we walked in the door, our table looked beautiful with rose petals all over, to the yummy drinks, the food was absolutely delicious and the dessert was to die for and a big shout out to our server Nicole Egan for making our first of many visits to The Capitol Grille a very memorable one, everyone was friendly, asked how the food was, even struck up conversations about other things, it was very relaxed and comfortable evening. I felt very fancy but yet down to earth, my husband and I will definitely be back to dine!!! Thank you 😊"

"The Staff here are wonderful. Polite, friendly and very helpful. We were there for lunch and it was served at a very leisurely pace. The food was excellent. The restaurant is very elegant inside. It is a great special occasion restaurant. The acoustics are not ideal and at times I could hear a hum of conversations in the background. However to put this in perspective it is very typical of restaurants in general."

"The food and service was wonderful. The restaurant went out of their way to make our anniversary feel special. We received champagne, appetizer, and dessert free of charge along with our table decorated with rose petals. I definitely plan on going here for future special occasions. I expected the food and service to be excellent and they did not disappoint. The restaurant exceeded my expectations with the little attention to details."

"We were a little skeptical about visiting a restaurant which is part of a chain. We had negative experiences at other restaurants such as Flemings, who are part of a chain. But The Capital Grille was the complete opposite. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the environment was clean and comfortable. My wife and i would recommend this restaurant to anyone, and we definitely would become repeat customers."

"The ambince was verygood we had window seating, our server Joshua B. was outstanding it was my wifes birthday and he treated her great even gave her a birthday desert. I had the portherhouse and my wife had the filet migon both med meaning hot pink center which i felt was not cooked to a guality of a high level steakhouse, the beef looked like it was cooked at a low temp/ broiler outside of our beef had little color and 3/4 of our beef was med well. I would have expected our beef to be cooked at 1100' to give it a good seared."

"We celebrated my birthday and Fathers day as we always do. Food is always fantastic as well as the service. Out Waiter was excellent. Our food was perfect until my hisbands steak arrived at the tabler. He ordered the Steak Special Medium and it was cooked well done. The steak was taken back and cooked another one, but my meal was already there. We ordered AuGratin Potato and we where served Mashed. We shared my steak. The right order of Potatoes came to us 3/4 of the way throught the meal. Husband steak was brought to the table still not cooked properly now it was to rear. This has to be one of our favorite resturants in RI and we where disappointed."

"Upon entering we were asked what was the occasion for our visit. We explained that we are celebrating our birthdays. The wait staff decorated our table with birthday confetti and everyone that interacted with us wished us a happy birthday. When finished with our exquisite meal, the waiter and manager came over quietly with a happy birthday plate holding two delicious pieces of pastry and wished us a Happy Birthday. What a nice surprise! Between the food, wait staff, and finishing touches, our experience was very satisfactory. I would definitely dine here again."

"There's no place else to go for the best. Very expensive, but you know that going in. The food, the preparation, the service is top shelf. Aside from food related elements, I particularly like the layout of the restaurants. Every table provides comfort, privacy, and even intimacy in a busy space. I hate the restaurants that seat you on top of one another. If you're into a splurge...Cap Grille is tough to beat..."

"We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The waiter was awesome! The food is above average. The bread basket is so... good. The steaks are outstanding! They gave us free desserts with champagne to celebrate our special day. There were rose petals on the table when we arrived. We go to Providence quite often as we love to eat at Federal Hill. The Capitol Grill is expensive but it's worth every penny. We will return without a doubt. An outstanding establishment in the heart of Providence. This place does not disappoint."

"Unless you are familiar with Providence, it can be hard to find as it is below ground and between buildings. However, this makes for a very nice place to meet. The service was outstanding with refreshed drinks being presented before the last sip was even taken and the food was excellent. Highly recommend for any occasion but mine was only for lunch."

"We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and my wifes' s birthday. Tim gave us amazing unrushed service and the food was absolutely to die for. Tim even gave us a complimentary desert in recognition of our anniversary. Oh, the hostess also spread rose petals all over our table to recognize our special events. It was a night we will always remember! All positive, too!"
