   Our late afternoon dinner was everything we've come to expect from The Capital Grille: top-notch service, delicious food finely presented, quiet atmosphere, and excellent (although somewhat overpriced) martinis.

   We were there for lunch. We met Anna our waiter. She was very nice and friendly. We eat there on a regular basis and are always very happy with the staff. Our first experience was with Roy Allen. He was fantastic and we were sorry he recently quit to start his own business. The Capital Grill and there staff are always “the best”

   The Sarasota UTC Capital Grill does a wonderful job pampering dinners, the old school way. Staff are top shelf, service professionals who go out of there way to make your dining experience special. I've been told many of the kitchen staff have worked there since the place opened. This says a lot about management. Kitchen staff who stay for long periods are usually being appreciated, respected and taken care of. It shows in the food quality here. Our server Anna and all her back staff were wonderful on our Mother's Day visit even though it was near the end of one of their busiest days of the year.

   Always a great dining experience. The filet was cooked perfectly to our request. The twin South Africa lobster tails are some of the best we ever tasted. Every 5-10 min someone was there to top off our waters and the kids received a customer Mother’s Day card to color for my wife while we waited for our food to arrive. My only criticism is that it took over an hour to get our food after ordering. Understandable as the restaurant was fully booked

    What has happened to our society when you eat in some of the finest and most expensive dining rooms in the city and some MORON, has to keep his bright red baseball cap on the entire time in the dining room? What has happened to this younger generation? Really? you have to were your stupid red baseball cap while dining, is it because is matches your RED T-SHIRT? Stupid people.

    Our(my wife and I split it)bone in porcini mushroom ribeye came out without the rub or the glaze. The waiter took it and they added balsamic and refired it which led to our $60 steak being overdone. No manager ever came by like they usually do so we let it go. We love capital and will be back but for a $400 family dinner night out, I was disappointed with that issue.

    Delicious food! Great drinks! Great service! We had the rib-eye, and New York strips… steaks were cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the side dishes, creamed spinach and Parmesan fries. The passion fruit mojito was delicious! The creme brûlée cheesecake is so good! Our server was great!

    My wife and I had rib eye and asked for medium rare. Steaks came out well done & was replaced with medium rare steaks. The next week we were in again for Hamburger lunch and again asked for medium rare came out well done again. Replaced with raw hamburger. We had an appointment so left the burgers partially eaten. We have frequented Capitol Grille many times and hope these past two times is an anomaly.

    Not great! Taste of UTC menu and not the same quality as usual or the last Taste event. Overcrowded restaurant, had to send steak back twice as it wasn’t cooked past rare. Salad warm and soggy, same with dessert. They also now allow pets inside the main dining room. Not classy

    We were at a high top in bar, and expected to have more noise and less service, however, bartender has too much going on to have to remember everything. He provided ok service, but forgot our salads, and said he would cover a cocktail because it was a birthday celebration. We were charged for all cocktails. and sent home with a salad. Overall, mediocre service, not expected at our normally exceptional Capital Grille

    As the restauranteur Danny Meyer said "Good service means never having to ask for anything". This meal was the epitome of poor service. If I could leave 0 stars for service I would have. It was if the waiter went out of his way to be rude and ignore our table, stretching a meal well beyond 2 hours. Water glasses were never refilled until we begged another waiter to help, waited almost 30 minutes for our medium steak which came well done (zero pink) and sent it back--he grudgingly returned less than a minute later with a new steak? Bizarre. Never checked back on us. Finally, pulled over the manager to tell her what happened--she was very nice, took off the 2 cocktails from our bill but the birthday evening was ruined. For a $500 meal at a high end well respected steak restaurant, one would expect professional service. There are too many other options in Sarasota to subject yourself to this.

    Exceptional beyond all words, in all aspects, what a fine dining experience. Definitely try the signature Stoli Martini cocktail, delicious bread service, wedge salads, and entrees: Filet Mignon, Kona Crusted NY Strip steaks. Who really brought it all together was our server Kirstie, who orchestrated our dinners to perfection.

    Very nice experience. My only complaint is that I asked for a quiet table and was accommodated in a small room with 5 other tables. When they finished at the other tables we were the only 3 people in the room which was awkward. Sea bass was excellent and so was the NY strip. I ordered SA lobster tail and it was good but not as explained by the waiter. All in all a good meal although it felt like a chain more than upscale restaurant.

    Our favorite place for 14 years but manager Danielle after reading us the riot act in a nice way to our question why we didn’t get our requested server in our reservation. I so wish since we come here several times a month they would value good customers like capital grill in center city Philadelphia
