We celebrated my wife’s birthday at The Capital Grille in Sarasota which has become an annual tradition. We are never disappointed. The hosts had the table decorated with confetti to start off the festivities. The service by Anna was outstanding and the food was cooked to perfection. We couldn’t have been happier with our night at The Capital Grille. We are already looking forward to next year’s celebration. The Capital Grille remains our favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area.

Always excellent service and great steaks! The lobster bisque was really good with big chunks of lobster and the bone in NY strip was cooked to perfection.

My wife has quite a few dietary restrictions, and Capital Grill never hesitates to accommodate. It’s one place she feels safe eating and can relax and just enjoy an evening out.

Steaks were so good they melted in your mouth. Love the lobster mac and cheese. Wedge salad is also very good. Found out we can take our own wine (with a $25 corkage fee)--GAME CHANGER! Now we can dine here more often with the wine of our choice.

We had a lovely evening. Daniel and Melissa H. took great care of us. The food was fresh and delicious. The steak came out perfect, the tuna was superior and the lobster was the main reason I wanted to come for my birthday. We were not disappointed. melissa has taken great care of us on a few occasions.
