   For my Dad's 70th Birthday I gifted him a dinner here with a few other couples. They couldn't wait to call me raving about the incredible food, service, ambience; everything was perfect. One of his well traveled friends said it was the best restaurant he'd ever been to! They drove almost an hour from NorthEast Connecticut just for the meal, which although, I had never been to this particular Capital Grille, I knew from having been to other locations of theirs across the country they are very consistent. It was worth the drive and did not disappoint. Thank you Capital Grille for taking such wonderful care of my Dad on his 70th when I could not be there.

   Always a fabulous experience. Not thrilled they now charge $10 for valet. At that price point I feel like it should be included. It will mean we don’t go as often.

   All of the food was slightly cool. Very unusual quality for Capital Grille.

   We have dined here many times and usually love the food and ambience. This particular evening was not a good showing. The staff were so stiff and scripted it was uncomfortable. It was awkward to see them work through their lines as they presented themselves and the menu. The steaks were not good, period. There was so much fat on the rib eye (and we get it, it should have some, that is so delicious!), we could probably not eat almost 1/3 of the steak. It was also not as tender as in previous visits. The prices of course are very high and we had theater tickets so were short on time, and we should not have to send something back, it should arrive correctly the first time. There are so many eyes on these meals, someone should have noticed 1/2 of the steak was fat. In addition, the parking situation is abysmal. Valet parking was through the phone, credit card only and took almost ten minutes to get our car with three valet attendants working who all seemed like they just arrived and had zero training. Overall, will not return to this location. Very disappointed in the clientele as well, felt like we were at the gym, not at a beautiful high end steak house. It is ok to have dress codes!

   As always, it was a delicious meal, and very friendly staff. Capital Grille is always very reliable, and you know that you are going to get a good meal.

    Reservation, hostess staff, and wait staff were top notch. Close to hotel and conference center were a plus as well. The wait staff member was great and made wonderful suggestions. We really enjoyed the service and meal. Keep up the great work.
