    We went during Austin restaurant week. Three course dinner for $60. And it was amazing. Couldn’t eat it all. If you like a perfectly cooked steak, this is the place!

    Oysters were absolutely great!!! Sliced filet with fig essence was disappointing and certainly not worth the money; no fig essence that I could ascertain and the mushrooms were overcooked. We did the wine tasting for $35.00. The rose, pinot grigio, and chardonnay were great. The reds were bitter and very disappointing and they seemed very warm. They tasted like Texas red wines...just not up to par. Waitress was overwhelmed and after we finished our entree it was probably 10-15 minutes before she came to us again. I think the restaurant was overwhelmed with customers and could not keep up. Because when we go for lunch or on a weeknight the food and service are much better.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner experience. Only downside, my steak was not quite as tender as I’d hope. Could have been the cut I ordered, which was a tomahawk steak of some kind. Don’t remember now. It was tasty though.

    Truly one of the best meals I’ve had. The sliced filet with fig reduction, onions and mushrooms was off the chart - as was the lobster. Brussel sprouts were delicious, our waiter was incredible; cheesecake was perfect. Not a bad thing to say about the meal, service, everything. Kudos to Capital Grille for achieving such a great dining experience.

    I recently took my wife to Capital Grille for her 30th birthday, and I was blown away by the service. The manager, Emily, was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure that our experience was perfect. She even gave us a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate. Our server, Bria, was also fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made sure that we had everything we needed, and she even offered to help us pick out the perfect dishes for our special occasion. Chef Ken did everything right. The entire meal was fantastic. Not a single complaint here. Overall, our experience at Capital Grille was truly exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make our night special, and we will definitely be back!

    We ate at the DT Austin location a few weeks back and we very happy with the meal, with the exception of their attention to allergies/gluten free servings. We had a dish that we had requested to be gluten free served with bread on the plate. It was re-made, but it was concerning. Then the leftovers were commingled in the same singular box (hard to believe, but true). I would strongly advise anyone with a food allergy to think twice about dining here. Yes, we ordered off the gf menu, and yes we reminded the server three times of the allergy, yet we had two errors that could have been problematic.

    The attention to detail was present in every aspect of the meal, with freshly baked four different breads brought out with the specially crafted butter, awesome specialty cocktails, fantastic crabmeat cocktail and burrata tomato appetizers, perfectly cooked steaks, delicious creamed spinach and au gratin sides and complimentary dessert and champagne for our anniversary celebration. The service was equally exceptional and the atmosphere was delightful, from the historic pictures on the walls to the great subdued music selections playing in the background.

    This is why we work hard! A night of excellent service and delectable food. Service above and beyond in attention and customization for our requests. Our server, Jameson Coffee (really!) was attentive without being disruptive, knowledgeable about the kitchen and the wine cellar. He made the experience so much better. He praised teammates and was simply a joy. I’ve always had great experiences at Capital Grille. But Austin was a “cut” above.
