Bonito lugar, excelente servicio y lo más importante, todo delicioso y bien presentado. Fuimos a celebrar una fecha especial y tuvieron un detallito para complementar esa celebración.

The service at Capitale Grille in San José was truly one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff was exceptional—attentive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. It was my sister’s birthday, and they went above and beyond to make her feel celebrated. Their kindness genuinely touched my heart. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully prepared with care and attention to detail. I’m already looking forward to my next dining experience at their Brickell, Florida location!

Excellent service meets great food in a pleasant environment. Extensive wine selection and many wines outside of the wine list. Reservations recommended.

What I love about TCG is not only the quality of the ingredients in the food and the specials, but also their flexibility to go above and beyond when it comes to special requests. I was at a pizza place in CR and I asked for them to not put onions on a special pizza they had. They said absolutely not as that is how the chef wants the pizza to be. At TCG, not only are they willing to make their brand standard recipes, but the chef will come to your table if you ask to make pretty much anything they have the ingredients for. I tried their new salad with scallops which was excellent and I wanted to have the best burger in Costa Rica, but I wanted to add a fried egg to it, and without question, it happened and it was excellent.

Mi comida estuvo bien, pero la carne de mi esposo tuvimos que devolverla porque no la cocinaron el termino que a él le gusta y no es la primera vez que pasa. El chef que hay ahora no logra dar el término de 3/4 en la carne algo tan básico en un restaurante de este nivel. Lástima porque es un restaurante caro y lo que uno espera es poder disfrutar la comida. El mesero excelente atención

I love going to TCG for lunch. I can get in and out in less than an hour (if I need to) and have a great meal. No other white table cloth restaurant in CR has that level of service or quality of food and presentation. I loved the salmon today- asked for it to be served with asparagus and cooked with just olive oil, salt and pepper. Alfredo was great and provided a great level of service, attention- and when he found out I had a meeting to run to, he told the other staff and every one of them stepped in to make sure we received our food, drinks, and check to get out as quickly as possible.

The bacon slab appetizer is very unique in CR. While many other locations have an Asian themed taste, the bacon 🥓 in CR is smoked with coffee wood and have the perfect texture- c firm on the outside with a soft tasty inside that just melts almost like Kobe Beef does when served and cooked properly.
