Everything was fabulous. It was our anniversary and they made us feel very special. The food was delicious, as always, especially the empanadas.

Had portions of the summer menu. Very creative apps Had a fail on the pasta but they brought out a replacement and comped the dish. Can't complain. Great steak. Wine list is very nice, could use a few more $50-60 options but well put-together. Service very good.

Capital Grille is always a 5-star dining experience. The other night celebrating my wife’s birthday went beyond that. The table was all decorated in a birthday motif for Karen, and she absolutely was made to feel special throughout the entire evening. While the food was outstanding…it always is…what really struck me throughout dinner was the friendly interaction with so many of the staff including the manager on duty. However, this night belonged to our great server, Kyria Graves. He was such a positive and knowledgeable server. Ky took great care of us from beginning to end and in such a personable way. He always kept telling us, “I got you” or “I can make that happen”. He did all of it on Monday night. When we walked out of the Capital Grille after our birthday celebration dinner, our feeling was of joy and satisfaction. What a great night out!!!
