    Our server was Jordan, and she was amazing! She was so kind to us and very informative and helpful with the menu and specials. My boyfriend had the Penne Carbonara, and I had the Capellini Pomodoro E Basilico, which I added grilled chicken to. Both dishes were absolutely amazing! The portion sizes were large as well, which we appreciated! The manager on duty was also very kind both over the phone and in person. We really appreciated everyone making our night special and staying open for us as the last reservation of the evening. We do not regret choosing Porcini for our belated Valentine’s Day date / celebration, and we would both definitely recommend Porcini to others for an intimate & upscale date night experience, 100%!

    We had an amazing experience! Despite running late for our reservation, the staff was incredibly understanding accommodating. When we unexpectedly added an extra guest, they went above and beyond to find a bigger table and still seated us on time. The hostess provided excellent customer service, making us feel welcome and valued. The entire experience with seamless, and we truly appreciated their kindness and efficiency. Highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and outstanding hospitality!

    My husband and I had to celebrate Valentine’s Day on 2/17. We had never been to Steak and Bourbon. The ambiance was soothing and inviting. The service was THE best we’ve ever had. To top it off, we had the most delicious food we had ever had! I had the tender filet and he had the halibut! This restaurant is worth every penny! We might not frequent this restaurant monthly, but we will return on special occasions. We are both looking forward to the next meal!

    ★★★★★ Outstanding Dining Experience at Capital Grille Our experience at Capital Grille was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated to top-tier service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening. The highlight of our meal was, without a doubt, the steaks. Cooked to absolute perfection, each bite was flavorful, tender, and expertly seasoned. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail were evident in every dish. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an outstanding meal, Capital Grille is the perfect choice. We will definitely be returning soon!
