    My husband & I dined in for the first time. I surprised him with a getaway to Charlotte (from Durham). I did make reservations & made note that my husband would be celebrating his birthday. They made it special & memorable, to say the least (decor, personalized card, & dessert). Our server was very informative about everything, & for that, I’m grateful. He left no unanswered questions. We enjoyed the lamb chops, bone in prime rib & creamed spinach. The manager came over & spoke, wishing my husband a happy birthday. To me, that was a very nice gesture. I will definitely be back, & because of this location, I’m excited to have the same experience at the Raleigh location. Thanks for having & welcoming us.

    Capital Grille is one of our favorite restaurants no matter what city we are in. The quality of food is consistently excellent. We were disappointed last night with our service. We saw the assistant server only once and felt forgotten by our primary server overall. It was quite surprising as service is usually excellent.

    Enjoyed a quick dinner before a show. Thought we would have a light dinner, but totally filled up on appetizers, salad and a side. Definitely going back for steaks next time. Hannah took wonderful care of us during our anniversary celebration.

    We ate here before a show at the Blumenthal and overall it was great, with one big hiccup. My elderly mother did not eat much of her steak and lobster and asked to have it packed to take home. The waiter said they would hold it in the cooler and we could retrieve it after the show when we got our car. At 10:05pm we walked across the street to discover that they had already closed. We had to forgo easily $50 worth of leftovers that they promised they were holding for us until after the show. There's no excuse for this as the Capital Grille is very accustomed to people eating prior to a show at Blumenthal and they know when the shows are over. They should not have kept our food if they knew they would not be open. Very disappointing outcome to what should have been a lovely night out with my mother.

    We love Capital Grille and this location will not disappoint. Recent visit included 2 young children - fabulous service with a great kids menu. Highly recommend the wedge salad, au gratin potatoes and filet. Very convenient parking with the valet service (which is always very prompt and courteous).

    Everything was superb as usual. This is why despite trying other steak houses we always return to The Capital Grille. Our server was fantastic. She helped us choose different items than we might have based on her expertise and insights into both cocktails and food. She was great!!!! The food was 100% fabulous and cooked to perfection. We were never rushed. The ambience is what I love too. High ceilings and lots of space between tables so a very intimate feel.

    We had an 815 reservation which granted is late, but everything seemed very lackluster… The shrimp cocktail was half the size of normal, the lobster bisque was congealed, and no lobster in sight, and our New York strip. We ordered 05 with the cognac sauce had neither pepper or sauce.. we won’t go back.
