    Always exquisite and personal service. If you are celebrating any occasion, let them know when you make the reservation. Attention to detail is their specialty. Food is elegant, yet provencial, hence the name. Highly recommend the chateaubriand for two, but all menu items will impress and please.

    We had a wonderful evening at the Capital Grille tonight celebrating a very special 80th birthday. They had decorated the table with birthday related confetti and had placed a birthday card on the table. My friend was treated to a free drink and delicious dessert. The service is impeccable. Sabrina was our server and I will ask for her every time I go. The food was five stars. I had salmon which was cooked perfectly and spiced well with a delicious honey glaze served with almonds and green beans. I ordered the asparagus which was yummy and had several bites of mashed potatoes which were divine - maybe the best I’ve ever had. My husband had lamb chops. They give you eight of these and he enjoyed every morsel. To start, he ordered onion soup which I tasted. It was absolutely delicious but the serving is huge, really too much to eat before a main course. I highly recommend going to the Capital Grille. It’s pricey, but it’s worth it.
