We were three couples celebrating a special birthday for three of our group. We hadn't been to the Capital Grille in awhile but we weren't disappointed. Everything was as we remembered from our last visit. Great wine choices by the glass, great food, exceptional service from our server and the supporting staff and they even brought a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebrants. This is not an inexpensive dinner but the experience was well worth the price.

Had the Tile fish as featured dish. It was just ok. We eat here often, and the food is usually very good as is the service. We have found that eating fish at restaurants where it is not there main course meals usually is a mistake. The service has always been great!

Great night with my wife. The appetizers and entrees were delicious and the service excellent. It was a chilly night and would have enjoyed the propane heater outside, but the chill caught everyone by surprise and Reel did not have this tanks filled yet. Other than that, a perfect evening!
