The Capital Grille - Fairfax

The food is always excellent and the service is usually very good. This time, our server was excellent. Good conversation, but just long enough to get a feel for his personality without being overly joiny (not a word but you get the point).

Our waiter, Henry, was fantastic!! The steaks were delicious, and loved the crème brûlée style cheesecake.

Our server, Ava, whom I requested for the third time - was wonderful - attentive, friendly and efficient. The restaurant week menu was delicious as expected and I love the new Fairfax branch. The meats are wonderful, as well as the fish - my husband had the salmon - the sides, salads and desserts, also exemplary - looking forward to more lunches and dinners, and restaurant weeks!

Steak was excellent. Best fillet mignon I ever had in 50 years.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here last night. We were greeting by a very nice parking attendant where we had courtesy parking. The place is new and tastefully done with beautiful art honoring VA artists. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and My husband received birthday greetings. A personalized birthday card was on the table and complimentary champagne followed. The cocktails. Wine and food were delicious but our server was the best part of the meal. She was attentive, warm and made great recommendations. We had a great evening and special birthday.

We celebrated a birthday here. The food was delicious, as always, and the service was spot on. We are quickly becoming regulars.

Wonderful evening with friends. Service and food was excellent!

Monday evening dinner was great. We had two servers and they were engaging. We enjoyed ourselves without feeling we were being rushed.

The new Capital Grille continues the fine tradition of the other locations. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find complimentary valet parking. I rate every aspect across the board as outstanding. The service was warm and friendly. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was clearly upscale but not over bearing. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much to the Capital Grille staff for a wonderful evening!

Seated in the main path out of the kitchen. There should not even be a table there at a high end restaurant. Very disappointing.

Great evening with friends celebrating my birthday. Everything was perfect. Our server Shantall is the best!!! She made the evening extra special by bringing many surprises...wine, champagne, dessert and a fabulous attitude!

This was a wonderful evening we had. The restaurant was busy but we did not have to wait too long for the food. The 2nd round of drinks did take a while to come to our table but all in all the food drinks and ambience was good.

I am so glad Capital Grille cam to Fairfax. Being one of the best restaurants in the DC area it will now be easier to get to more often for me

Service was excellent. Live the special touch for my daughter’s birthday.

Disappointing tonight. CG is usually great, but three steaks were improperly cooked and the sides appeared prepped far in advance. Not their best showing, but the server was good and made all the right concessions. Great people there, so I think it was just not their night, at least for our table.

We have yet to be disappointed when we dine at Capital Grille! Food was delicious and the service was outstanding! We will be back again soon!!

We were there for a birthday celebration. They had birthday confetti on the table when we arrived, which was a really nice touch. Our server was fantastic (unfortunately I can’t remember his name now).

Great service and delicious food!

Excellent dinner and great service

We booked an early seating at the new Fairfax location on New Year's Eve. We were seated within 10 minutes in a booth. I had a crock of French onion soup -- it was excellent! It was a large crock that could easily satisfy the two of us --but I enjoyed it all knowing full well that my entree of Strip Steak Au Poivre with Courvoisier sauce would take a longer time to enjoy. Delicious! My wife equally enjoyed the cup of clam chowder ---roughly on third the size of my FOS and had the Filet and Lobster tails entree selection. One side of creamed spinach was enough for both of us. We will be back!

We celebrated New Year's eve at this new addition to the Capital Grill family. Our server, Ana, was excellent - we had asked for her since she had been our server for Thanksgiving, The meal was absolutely delicious, and it was a wonderful celebratory evening. We look forward to visiting again soon and seeing Ana!

Went for lunch for my friend’s birthday, which I noted it in the online reservation. Not only did they leave a card on the table for him, they brought a dessert without chocolate, since I noted he was allergic to it in the reservation. This place never disappoints.

Great meal! Server was excellent, made great suggestions but not overbearing. Very pleasant atmosphere, not noisy at all. We arrived considerably earlier than our reservation and they seamlessly accommodated us. Will be returning!

Our Anniversary dinner was such a wonderful experience, with rose petals and a rose awaiting us at our table with a thoughtful card. We felt special and the food and service were excellent!

First time we went out for a Christmas Eve dinner and CG made it awesome. “The General” (who we specially requested) went above and beyond as he always does. Souvaire (so?) made the experience and all the service and food was ON POINT ! Thank you for the consistency. We just discovered our new Christmas Eve tradition.

Service was outstanding. Food was good but not too crazy about sides. Don’t like Parmesan fries. will be back

Excellent service as well as great food.

Our server Khalid was wonderful. The food and drinks were above expectations. We had a great time and will be back!

Black Tie Margarita was pretty bland, tasted tequila and water only. Steaks and sides were wonderful!

Management attempted to right the wrongs. Wrong entree came out for husband. Sent meal back then had to wait for husbands meal to be complete. When it came the meat was rare not medium and he could not eat it. Waiter tried to make things right with round of wine and dessert on house. Had to do flag down management to get things right. They ended up sending us home with a new steak and did not charge us for husbands steak.

Our server Billy was outstanding! Request him during dinner service for great service and good conversation

This is now our "go to" high-end restaurant in the Fairfax area. The combination of ambiance, great service, and excellent food make it the perfect get-away for a special event or just to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Outstanding dining experience… great ambiance, food and service!

Awesome service only to be outdone by the food

Ou waiter Brian was great. We had a great Christmas luncheon. We will be back.

Great ambiance and venue for a special birthday…from the welcome glass of Prosecco to the birthday surprise at the end. Service was not rushed; food was delicious and nicely plated. Waiter was fluent on both the menu and wine menus but was not pushy in the least.

Great restaurant with awesome staffs for great occasions. I would definitely dine again!

Service was 5 star. Thoroughly enjoyed our Waiter, Parker. The new restaurant in Fairfax is terrific. Fairfax needed a sophisticated eatery and Capital Grille delivers. Food preparation was magnifique! Steaks were perfectly cooked. The Tysons location lost our confidence and business years ago (poor culinary talent) so we thought we would give them a shot at their new location here in Fairfax. Our confidence and business has been restored! The Fairfax location management, service and culinary teams should be proud. Well done all! We will return again and again!

Hilton was my server, as usual. He’s incredible !!!
Absolutely make my dining experience top shelf.
He is one of the reasons I keep coming back .

The food was sumptuous. Steaks cooked perfectly. Festive atmosphere and everyone on staff was enthusiastic and in a great mood. Starting with the greeters at the host stand, to the wait staff and servers, it was very pleasant and fun. Shout out to Johnny and Alejandra! Thanks to others whose names I sadly did not get. (Can you tell I haven't gotten out much lol.) This was the best step back into the world.
