    We were a bit disappointed with this visit. We were celebrating 3 Birthdays in December and they put us at the worst table in the entire restaurant right in front of the kitchen. So noisy and not relaxing at all. The service could have been better as well for a 500 bill.

    We normally don’t eat out on the holiday but decided to try it this year based on the Thanksgiving meal special offered. The restaurant was packed and by 5:30pm they were already sold out of their special side of sweet potatoes. The turkey meal was just ok. It was warm, not hot at all and even when extra gravy was brought over that wasn’t even warm. The appetizer of prosciutto with mozzarella was great and my husband’s Gorgonzola NY strip was delicious. Staff were friendly but service was very slow at times but understandable because of how busy it was. Not sure we will return as our experiences at this location have been consistently just OK.

    We went on Thanksgiving day and it was also our 49th Anniversary. When I made the reservation on the comment section , I said it was our anniversary.  When we arrived, we were seated in a private room in a cozy corner with 3 other tables. We had a card on our table wishing us a happy anniversary and our table was decorated with real rose pedals and miniature hearts. Our waitress was Emily and we ordered a bottle of white wine chilled to perfection. We were brought an assortment of homemade warm bread, then ordered the Turkey dinner with all the fixings. Simply delicious! Emily surprised us with a deep chocolate cake and a glass of champagne. My husband and I were so touched with emotion from how they treated us so special. This is our new number one restaurant.

    Our waiter was amazing, in fact all of the staff were very professional. The chicken was fantastic; moist and full of flavor. The strip steak was unfortunately chewy, cooked at medium. Given the high prices, and mediocre steak, we would not recommend.

    The drinks were great. The waiter was very attentive. It was my birthday and they put tasteful decorations on the table. The food was wonderful. The portions were a nice size. Everything is alacart so the bill adds up quickly. They served a complimentary birthday dessert which is a nice touch. Great place for a special occassion.

    First off Chelsea was absolutely amazing she knew it was an engagement celebration and she went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect we were placed at our table and she had our table decorated with rose pedals and hearts!! Our meal was outstanding and what made our night was the note left in the envelope congratulating us on our engagement.

    I don't think that it's me as I have been to a few other steakhouses recently, but I have not been wowed by the quality of the steaks at the Capital Grill, at least this CapGrill, for the past three times that I have been there. I am finding their steaks to be a bit of a level or two down from other quality steakhouses, with the steaks being a bit grainy for me. I have been a big CapGrill fan for decades but it's losing its luster for me. I hope that it's an anomaly.

    I took my family to capital Grille this week, and it was quite disappointing. Everything was mediocre including the service of the food, the food itself ,one of our party got raw fish and had to send it back. I was quite excited prior to going and quite disappointed leaving. Considering the price I paid for the dinner I would have to say that I could have entertained three times the number of people with dinner that was much better if I had just stayed at home in my own local area. I will not return to this restaurant.
