The Capital Grille - Chicago - Downtown

We had to continually ask for service. From ordering ,to getting our food and paying our check.

Good food and dining room.

Consistent excellence! I've been dining at this Capital Grille for more than a decade and they consistently exceed my expectations by reinventing the menu, while keeping the highest standards on service and dishes.

Delicious as always and excellent service! We went for my husband's birthday and were comped dessert and a glass each of champagne, which was really nice.

Great service! I just wasn’t impressed with the porterhouse steak and my boyfriend’s steak either.. Everything else was amazing!

The Capital Grille was a fantastic spot to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. I made the reservations and selected the birthday prompt as my special occasion, and we were greeted to a hand written letter wishing her a happy birthday and decorated table. The entire experience was awesome, and I cannot recommendation this place enough!

Good food and good service.

Edgar at bar was excellent personality and service! Ambiance was great as was the food.

Good but not great. The highlight of the meal was the surf and turf lobster tails + tenderloin that my wife ordered. I had the dry aged peppercorn NY strip which seemed more like a $30-40 steak than a $50 one. I had a $70 steak at Prime and Provisions which makes the Capital Grille one taste like Outback or Longhorn. Not bad but not great. My Woodford blend manhattan tasted watered down. The roasted brussel sprouts were absurdly sweet and tart. The creme brulee and cappuccino were pretty good. The service was very good. It was NYE and we enjoyed the ambiance. Dinner was $200, not terrible. Bottom line: We probably won't be back.

Great food and service. Dani was extremely helpful with our reservation and made our New Year's Eve celebration a success. Rich our server was very attentive and we enjoyed his recommendations and hospitality

It was our anniversary and my daughter had called ahead to cover our meal. They supposedly ran her card and was to let us know our meal was covered. This never happened

Food was cooked perfectly. Service was also great. Great night out when visiting Chicago and close to hotels on the mile.

In my opinion the Capital Grill in Chicago still remains number ONE.
Great steaks,cocktails and wine list.

Our waiter Diego was awesome.. What a nice gentleman. He made us feel very welcome,

Second visit to this restaurant but first in this city. Was more impressed with the location in Denver than Chicago.

It's been a while since we had the chance to dine at a restaurant that understands service and hospitality. Capital Grille earns its reputation and does not rest on its laurels. Our server, Diego, anticipated our every need. He was easy-going, friendly and kind, accommodating to me as a vegan and happy to suggest a special dish. My husband had the lobster salad w/avocado. A perfect lunch. The food was fresh and tasty. yum!

Great experience all around. Service, food, and atmosphere were superb.

Great meal. Service impeccable. Quality of food outstanding. Excellant dirty martini.

Everything was great!

Paul’s meticulous care made our birthday outing on Christmas Eve day so relaxing and such fun. The steak salad was upsized and rare, to perfection. My dining companion thoroughly enjoyed the chowder and lobster salad. We savored a birthday surprise dessert complete with confetti on our table. It was a wonderful meal.

Rich made the experience great he was very helpful, kind, and took great care of us throughout the dinner. Thanks we'll be back soon!!!

While the steaks were good, everything else was mediocre or worse. The lobster bisque was way too thick & tasteless. The tuna was ok but that rice was worse than making minute rice at home.

Waiter seemed overwhelmed and didn’t give great service.

Never disappointed when we go! Always delicious food and tip top service; from our greeting at the host stand to the service provided by Valerie and Mario.

Thanks for another great experience!

Great dining experience! Valerie was so wonderful and the food and entire evening was fabulous!

Wagyu NY Strip was beyond amazing. 10/10 recommend

My date celebrated her birthday tonight and the staff made it special from the greeting card and sparkles on the table when we first arrived to the Birthday dessert platter and glass of sparkling wine at the end of the evening! Thank you!

Very good all around experience. Server was awesome

xxxxxxxxxxGreat food, drinks, and service! xxxxxxx

My husband and I appreciate the service we received while dining at The Capital Grille! We were celebrating our 5th year anniversary and were greeted by the staff with a smile and an excited “Happy Anniversary!” Our table had cute heart confetti and a card from The Capital Grille congratulating us for making it 5 years. Our waiter, Paul, was patient and very tentative! He was wonderful. Thank you for great food and great memories!

Birthday Celebration

Loved it. Fantastic food

Out with sister.

We had a group of 8 people celebrating two birthdays and everyone had a fantastic time. We were warmly greeted by Kim at the reception desk. Our favorite server, Diego, took excellent care of our guests and ourselves, helping us pick the perfect wine and meals. He had help from Rudy and Mario who are always friendly and attentive. Once again, a great experience!

Always a great experience!

The Capital Grille is an excellent restaurant and more often than provides excellent food. I love their shallot butter, lobster mac and cheese, and crab & lobster cakes.

The service is often consistently better than the food. Excellent staff, and very accommodating. Would recommend for nearly any occasion

I am disappointed with food prep. After 2 tries the tuna was still sub parr. Another person in pur party

I first found the Capital Grille in Baltimore, and fell in love with the service, food, and ambiance. While the food was exceptional in Chicago, the service was not quite the same. I could tell the difference, because unlike my server in Baltimore(Lazarus), this server had no stars on their jacket. Although the staff was professional, it seemed as if my guest and I were not welcomed there. At any rate, the food was exceptional and I will come again!

Typically exceptional food, ambiance, and service. Lily is the cream of the crop as a server...and here, that is saying something.

This place was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone
