We had a fantastic dining experience thanks to Daniel, our server. The service was exceptional, and Daniel made my wife's birthday special. We love visiting Capital Grille, and Daniel elevated our dinner celebration. He brought out champagne at both the beginning and end of the meal, along with dessert. Daniel, thank you for making my wife's birthday dinner outstanding. You are a fantastic person and an incredible server. Capital Grille is fortunate to have you.

The overall experience was terrific. My waitress Victoria was attentive to everything I needed and made great drink recommendations. The porterhouse steak was delicious. There was also a vocalist who was performing that helped with the ambiance. Hard to find a better dining experience in town.

Our waiter seemed rushed, not personable. So incredibly noisy we couldn’t converse. Bland veal chop with no seasoning. Osso bucco was good. The environment because of the noise level was just very uncomfortable and not enjoyable for what I thought was an upscale restaurant.
