   Absolutely fabulous! We were there celebrating our wedding anniversary. The table was set with heart-shaped sparkling confetti and a beautiful long stem red rose. The wine, cocktails and food selections were wonderful. Loved the iPad beverage menu t browse and select. We had the lobster/crab cakes as an appetizer. Then filet and grilled lamb chops for main entrees and the lobster mac & cheese to split. yes, it's pricy but sooo good! Finished the evening with crème brulee. Our server did a fabulous job with recommendations and pacing the evening. We should have listened to him and gotten the coconut cream pie for dessert. Lol. Definitely recommend this restaurant. We will be back!

   We went to Fairfax Capital Grille since we had never been to it. We always go to the Tysons Capital Grille. This was for my wife’s sisters birthday that was in from out of town. We will never go back to Fairfax Capital Grille again. Worst experience. We had a reservation, we got there a few minutes early so we could order a drink at the bar. The bar tender was very rude and would not provide a suggestion for wine even after we said we like Cab’s and Malbec’s and then presented a list and said choose one. Once we got to our table we were very rarely waited on, I asked for the wine list and received the wine list after we had gotten our appetizer and then it still took 10-15 minutes before the waitress was back to ask what bottle we would like to order. I ordered a NY strip cooked medium and it was more of a medium well but seared where the top and bottom were burnt and my wife ordered a medium well filet mignon that was cooked well done. Our water glasses were only filled once but set empty during most of the meal. We were only checked on by the staff twice during the whole course of the meal while other tables were waited on like a normal Capital Grille location.

   On a gloomy day, our birthday celebration was a highlight. Ryan was a terrific server and very skilled. Service was prompt, food was delicious, and the birthday treats "on the house" along with a long stemmed rose capped off a wonderful meal for my sweetie.

    Delicious food, wonderful ambiance. Service was just a tad slow - didn’t take our dinner orders until the drinks and appetizers were ordered/served, eaten and cleaned up. Always a wonderful meal though and fun place for a celebration!

    Birthday dinner for my husband. Quite a wait to get seated even with the reservation, but that was a first. They were short-staffed and that’s uncommon. Service and food and drinks were exceptional.

    Ambiance and servie were great. The clinary part was where it fell down. My wife ordered a steak recommended by the wait staff. She ordered it medium. Half was unebible and well done and the rest was medium. Not what I would expect at these prices. Also, we were going to order a side of potatos au gratin but were discourage by our wat staff indicating they were a disappointment. At this price point I expect more and have for less money.

    Took the hubby to CG to celebrate his birthday with the family (1st time there). Service was impeccable; Jacqueline, thank you! Unfortunately, my steak was over cooked. I was given a salad until my new steak was ready as I watched my family eat their meal while the sides were still hot. By the time I received my steak, most of the sides were luke warm to cold and my family was almost done eating. Loss my appetite and the experience wasn’t what I thought it would be.

    Went for Easter dinner. Upscale and classy. Food was delicious and that options for special diets. Just be sure to let them know. The coconut cream pie was awesome! Tia, our server, was very attentive and patient as it was our first time there. Would highly recommend for special occasions or just because!!

    We celebrated our anniversary here. It was also Easter lunch so it was busy. We’ve been to several fancy places for our anniversary that’ve done something or the other but the service provided by Emma was so excellent that it truly made our day special. I’m less emotions and more of a cerebral person so you can imagine how special the service was. Food: The complimentary bread basket was delicious especially the blueberry bread. Salad and French toast for our 4-year old who is great with veggies but understandably not with salads. She loved the salad and had most of it. Our entrees (steak and eggs brunch special, sea bass and French toast) were good but not great as in they were not bursting with flavors. I was glad the sea bass was cooked to perfection because seafood overcooked by even a second is one of my pet peeve. Coconut cream pie: this was heavenly. My husband does not like coconut and he said this was one of the best desserts he’s eaten at a restaurant and that’s big bcuz he’s a dessert snob. We want to go back just to have this and the bread basket. Service: our server, Emma was excellent. An older couple was keeping her busy but yet she was warm, friendly and attentive to every detail. She went above and beyond especially loving on our 4-year old. She even had a handwritten and heart-warming note for our girl at the end of the meal - it was so special. Everyone in the restaurant who served us was warm and friendly. Price and Portion size: it was what you’d except of any fancy restaurant. Parking: tons of free parking. They also have a complimentary valet parking.

    Went to their special Easter brunch. Free valet. Impeccable service. Bad crab cakes. Lovely interior. Very good at accomodating special dietary request of one in our party who can't eat any dairy (even butter). The salmon and tuna and steak dishes were great, but don't order the Lobster Crab Cakes. They are full of filament crab, not a lump or even a small piece of crab in sight. As far as the lobster pieces are concerned, there were only a few, tiny pieces and the cake seemed to be a way to get rid of the scraps. Even the small corn salad served with it seemed to have been on its second or third day.

    Ambiance was pretty normal, nothing special, for a a restaurant at this price point. I was not impressed with the culinary experience. I thought it might just be me. I asked the 6 other people in our party what they thought. None of them were impressed either and all said they were unlikely to return. I expected more. You can get better quality and ambiance at Arties in Fairfax at half the price. For a premium experience we will choose DC Prime or Randy's steakhouse in the future, both of which provide superior atmosphere and top quality cuisine when compared to Capital Grille.

    Another outstanding evening at this Capital Grille restaurant. Superb service, drinks, appetizers (colossal shrimp cocktail and tuna tartare), steak (filet mignon served perfectly medium rare and split in the kitchen so we could share), and dessert (small crème brûlée cheesecake slice for me and chocolate for my partner). And we were seated at a beautiful booth conducive to conversation. Could not have been more perfect, or more appreciated.
