Was very hot in the restaurant. Wood was ok - most steaks at our table were more done than requested. Service was ok - would not split our bill when requested.

Everything was fantastic! Starting with the valet they were very accommodating when we arrived and when it was time to go home making sure my car was pointing towards the direction we needed. When we entered the restaurant the greeting we received was very welcoming and then wishing us a happy anniversary. Our server was Rebecca. She treated us like family very attentive and ensuring everything was the way we wanted it to be. Our meal was cook to perfection and everything was delicious. We had great service from all the staff members that came to our table to check on us and also those that made sure we had everything we needed. Capital Grill made our Wedding Anniversary celebration very special and memorable. My wife and I loved every moment and we can’t wait until our next visit. Thanks again Rebecca and staff for everything!

My wife and I had a late lunch. We started off with the Woodford Reserve double oaked Manhattan. Highly recommended I had the onion soup and she had a salad. Both excellent. For our meal I had the 14 oz rib eye boneless. It was a little overcooked but the quality of the meat made up for it. She had the steak sandwich. She was able to substitute cream spinach for the fries with no up charge. Nice touch. My side was mashed potatoes. Creamy and tasty. We both took home enough for another meal. Although the menu is more limited at lunch it is a great value.

Folks are probably bored by my excellent reviews of this restaurant. It’s good to have a place that serves great food with consistently proficient service in an environment that allows for conversation even on the weekend. That’s a tricky balance that CG has mastered! Always look forward to my next visit…

This was a special birthday celebration, and the staff did a nice job in making it feel special. Our table was secluded and off to itself, but it was sometimes hard to talk because of the nearby tables being loud. Although the staff were friendly and professional, the food was a disappointment for the cost. We had two ribeyes (at $70.00 each) at the table, and both were slightly overcooked and one had a lot of fat and gristle. The filet with mushrooms seemed to be a success, and the sea bass was reportedly excellent. None of the plates had any accompaniment or even a garnish. Therefore the plates looked a little sad. A slab of meat on a plate...not very appetizing. I would give The Capital Frill a "moderate" recommendation. Frankly, we have eaten at better restaurants in town. I will say "yes" to the recommendation, but I wish there were a "maybe".

Amazing customer service, the food was amazing. I know my party & I went doing a busy time with the generous pour event. However sometimes we didn’t see our server for long periods of time. At one point 26 mins had went by, the server never came back. So that was a disappointment but she was very friendly. I just wish for the event we would have had a chance to enjoy the wines. We didn’t get the last 2 wines of the tasting until 9:30. I know everywhere is short of labor but for these prices sometimes you expect a little more. But overall great staff service and food.

We came to celebrate my birthday and I haven't ever had the welcoming experience for a birthday dinner as I did on this visit. I was wished a Happy Birthday on arrival, there was a card and birthday glitter at the table and was given a great combination birthday desert at the end of the meal. In addition, Kelly provided great service and my meal was perfectly prepared. Thank you Capital Grill!
