    My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Daisie's and could not have been happier with our experience. We received outstanding service that made us feel extra special on our special day. Our server, Nick, wished us happy anniversary immediately after seating us, and treated us to two glasses of champagne on the house. Additionally, Nick helped us select between two pasta dishes. Later, he came out carrying the one we hadn't chose, saying that the kitchen had extra and he knew of a perfect home - on the house. Our food was impeccable, and each dish tasted like it was made with intention and care with a creative & local emphasis. Even the cocktail wowed me! The unique pasta shapes delighted me to no end. Thank you thank you for helping us (and our tastebuds) feel celebrated!

    Hugo’s was fantastic. The sweet chili fried calamari is very good and unique. Different from your usual fried calamari but in an amazing way. Crab cake was delicious. I had a 14oz filet medium rare with twice baked potato and creamed spinach. A free birthday cheesecake dessert. Two thumbs up five stars!

    What a FABULOUS birthday dinner from the crab and lobster crab cake to the perfectly cooked rib lamb chops. The buttered corn with bacon is a definite must, when choosing a side dish. The complimentary dessert trio was phenomenal!! One of my absolute favorite things about the Capital Grille is, the staff. The staff is very friendly, professional and really attentive. Thank you to our server David for a wonderful evening!!!
