Dinner was delicious. The meatballs reminded me of meatballs that I had in Italy… All dishes we ordered were plentiful and there was enough to have again for a second meal. Only complaint I had was that our table was by the window and it was a bit chilly but we sucked it up and didn’t ask to be reseated elsewhere when tables started to open up. We will definitely return again. The pizza looked delicious too!!

This was our first experience at Capital Grille. The service was outstanding, the restaurant was lovely. My husband had the lamb “lollipops” which he raved about but the quality of my rib eye was just O.K. The sides, especially the potatoes au gratin were delicious. A little pricey all in all but for a holiday, they did a wonderful job. Merry Christmas!

The fresh fried mozzarella was mouth watering. The best we've ever had anywhere. Portions are substantial, but delicious. Waiters are superb. Watching the over-sized desserts go by is very tempting and entertaining. A must stop every year when we are in town.
