- SStaceySan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was excellent and the service was top notch. Our server was James and he was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, being sure to mention if something might be too smokey, too peppery, etc. in addition to James, I think we had at least 4-5 other people stop by to bring food, drinks, bread...or even just check in to see how everything was going. We were celebrating our anniversary, so we got some extra attention (a card, a rose and some heart confetti on the table), as well as some mini desserts to take home since we'd already ordered some desserts to eat there. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that it was a little dark (making it difficult to read the menu) and a little drafty (chilly), as there was an air register essentially above every table...so bring a jacket or sweater. We would definitely go back!!More infoThe Capital Grille - MemphisPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8
