Went out to celebrate with a birthday dinner. They didn’t even put the confetti on the table. The restaurant was packed.... the server was very nice however he alone. Don’t waste your time here, go to the one in Bethesda.
The service was excellent and the food was amazing.
It was missing something, bar staff ALWAYS AMAZING !
Had a wonderful dinner here. The atmosphere was beautifully intimate and everything was very professional. I really liked the added touch of being able to check our winter jackets at the front. The service was amazing. The drinks were well valued and full pours. The steak was cooked to perfection. I didn’t feel pressured into dessert which I felt was nice.
One of our favorites! The food quality and presentation is just perfect! Also, the servers are incredibly professional and super attentive! We will be back!
Drinks and food were great! We will be going back soon.
Food was great as always, and our server was very attentive!

Great lunch! I loved everything about it, especially the sweet and sour salmon. I hope to come again sometime soon.
The value of Restaurant Week couldn’t be passed up, I ordered the Calamari, Lobster Mac n Cheese, and Truffle Fries from the regular menu as planned, but the deal of Restaurant Week got me to try the Dry Aged Strip instead of my go to choice. Though I still prefer a Ribeye I’m glad I tried something different and enjoyed soup and a dessert that came with the menu. Will definitely return.
Food was very good and the service was excellent.
My waiter Joey was excellent with his service and kept me and brother updated with timing on our food. will be coming back very soon
The Capital Grille never disappoints. As always food service and ambience excelled. The staff is absolutely amazing and seeing to last minute time changes special requests and just exemplary customer service. It remains one of my favorite spots in Washington DC.
Great food and service as always
Always good and in these times its comforting to know you can still have a delicious fancy lunch.
Even during the pandemic, this restaurant continues to impress with excellent food, service and ambience.
From Dina the maître D’ to Pamelon the runner to Adam the GM to Hailey my amazing server; I was impressed from the minute I walked in. I visited different Capital Grille restaurants in the past and was here today for restaurant week; where I sampled the lunch menu.
My mixed salad was crisp, with a light vinaigrette and finely grated Parmesan; with small heirloom tomatoes. Hailey dusted my salad with just the right amount of freshly ground pepper. Wow.
I went for the bone in prime New York strip. It was a $10 up charge however having had varying cuts of strip steak; bone in flavor cannot be beat.
I had it prepared medium rare+ and it arrived in perfection. It was a large cut of steak, 14oz and was about 1 inch thick. I’d definitely go medium rare next time as because of the grilling excellence; the steak can quickly rest causing the meat to become more firm. Delicious nonetheless.
I also had Sams mashed potatoes which had a hint of horseradish. They were prepared well but I’d recommend just a bit more horseradish to bring out more flavor.
Overall I am beyond satisfied with my entire dining experience. I’d absolutely take my family and closest friends with me on a return visit. Thank you to your fantastic team ! Best.
Fantastic restaurant! The food was excellent and service by our waiter,Joey Terrones, could not have been bette and the birthday dessert for my husband was a thoughtful touch.
The only tiny critique Is that we had to wait for our table due to Covid restrictions even though we had a reservation, but it is what it is.
Will definitely return in the future.
Service and food were great. Only negative was the family sitting around us who deemed it necessary to watch something on their phone at volume 10. Really folks be respectful
Our server, Wayne, absolutely made our experience special! We were there on the last night the restaurant was open in December celebrating Christmas with our family. We will be back!
Very good service. Great food

Some of the best steak in the city. Service is unmatched. Tiffany Koch took really good care of us, she made us feel like we were special and the only table in the restaurant
Our waiter Akim and the manager Adam gave the best service possible. They made our experience so special and attended to our every need. We will be back for sure!
Professional staff. Great food. We had a very secluded booth by their small private dining room which was very much appreciated.
Some of the diners were loud and raunchy. We were sat in a dark corner.
Always a delightful experience in an elegant setting with terrific service and an ever impressive menu.
