Everything was top notch. The pineapple lettuce wraps were to die for. Food comes out very fast after you order it, so next time we'll order a couple things at a time throughout the evening. Will come back again and again!

Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille.

The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

The food was wonderful, and the restaurant and server went above and beyond! It was our anniversary, and we were greeted with a note and heart confetti at our table...followed by a photo and special dessert. It was unexpected and added so much to our dining experience!
