    One of my three favorite restaurants in STL and the perfect place for a fantastic birthday dinner with my wife. A couple of things to note: when I asked for a recommendation on a white wine to go with my dinner, our waiter brought out two different samples for me to try instead of just the one I asked to taste. I went with the second option that I hadn’t even expected to try. The other was the noise/music level when we first arrived was noticeably higher than it normally is. Within 15 minutes of arrival, however, it had been turned down. Food was terrific. North Atlantic Salmon was perfectly prepared. And the Pumpkin Dessert was delicious.

    I normally do not take the time to leave reviews but Jason and the Capital Grille staff deserve to be applauded. This was my second experience dining here and one of our steaks happened to be overcooked. I hate being that person to send food back but ultimately decided it wasn't going to be enjoyable as is. Jason and the team immediately fixed the issue without any hesitation and went above and beyond to make it right. They brought out extra sides while the new steak was being prepared and even provided a gift card for the price of the steak as we were paying our check, non of which was asked for. My first experience here the steak was cooked perfectly and this time my girlfriend's was cooked perfectly so it seems like it was just a one off mishap. Besides correcting the steak issue Jason was just awesome at what he does and seems to enjoy the work that he does. He gave us some great drink recommendations and made my girlfriend's birthday dinner a great experience. We will be back for sure!
