    Michael was our waiter and took excellent care of us. He described all of the specials available and was very professional. The food was excellent. Crisp crust on the steaks and cooked perfectly.

    What a disappointing experience. Not sure what was going on, but having been to this Capital Grille before and had excellent meals, I was quite surprised. Let's start with the hostess taking our group of four to a very large round table without even asking if such an oversized table would be okay. I then protested, only to be told that the hostess thought it was a good table. She then seated us appropriately. (Minutes later she put seven (!!!) people at the table she wanted to put us at. The waiter was great. But the food disappointing. Very slow to come out. Caesar that wouldn't even work at a convenience store, and $60 dollar scallops and risotto that was way over-salted. The waiter did comp the scallops, which was a nice gesture. I know that every restaurant can't fire on all cylinders all the time, but at these prices it needs to.

    We visited the Capital grill on June 26. We have dined here several times over multiple decades. Beautiful restaurant with a lot of history including paintings of historical indianapolis business leaders. I ordered the wedge salad, bone-in filet @$77.00 and my wife had the aged NY Strip and au-gratin potatoes . The texture and tenderness of the filet was good but a little on the dry and flavorless side. The wedge salad was outstanding with chunks of pork belly in place of the usual bacon. Wife reported that the aged NY strip was also on the dry and tasteless side. Don’t get me wrong the steaks were good but not memorable. I would try the ribeye next visit. Service as always was outstanding.

    Just had the pleasure of having John your head chef come out to our table and entertain us for just a moment. I thought that was very nice he did a phenomenal job on our lamb chops the best I've ever had.

    An incredible meal! Excellent service. I had 4 double cut lamb chops with au gratin potatoes. My guest had the filet and raved that my lamb chops were the best they'd ever had. Both were prepared and cooked perfectly. A quaint, cozy table for 2. We went back for dessert after our event, and the chocolate espresso was superb, as was my guests coconut creme pie.
