    My partner and I had a great time here celebrating a post-Valentine's dinner. We ordered their warm prosciutto wrapped appetizer special, chicken stroganoff, bacon-infused meatloaf (w/gruyere mashed potatoes), and pumpkin sundae dessert. I, as well, ordered one of their mocktails, the sage advice. None of the dishes--nor my drink--were disappointing aside from a couple small personal preferences. The value was overall quite good too considering the food, services, and atmosphere; our total came to around $110 after tip. Speaking of the service, our waitress was very attentive and helpful, as were the others milling about. They were consistent in checking in after food was delivered and kept us updated on when we could expect our next round. We will definitely consider going back in the future!

    As always another great experience. What amazes me about the Capital Grill is the consistency of their food and service. I’ve been to multiple locations across the country and they are the same - Great!

    Visited on a Monday night and it was a terrific evening! The entire staff was great from the wait staff to the servers to the complimentary valet which is a bonus on Federal Hill. We opted for Massimo's Monday Night Wine + Dine set price menu because they included terrific gluten free Italian options - to include GF bread. We shared the Baby Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Gorgonzola, Candied Walnuts, Pancetta, Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad, Calamari Fritti, Shrimp Scampi and Gnocchi margherita - all cooked beautifully. We parted ways on dessert so there was Tiramisu, Cannoli, and we even added a Cheesecake with Cherries. Needless to say, we are not afraid of a great meal! We will be back! Thank you!

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
