Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille.

The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

    We enjoyed my birthday celebration Wednesday night. Once we were seared, the service was great in all res, and my filet mignon and wife’s Chilean Sea Bass were perfectly prepared and delicious. The drinks and birthday dessert were excellent.

    We live in West LA and travel to. Costa Mesa every 3 months to meet family for lunch. Capital Grill never disappoints! Food is great and so is the service. Wish we had one nearer to us.

    Already top notch here at Capital, excellent food and service. Corkage fee has gone up to $40, but still worth it. Will be back soon!

    Service was great. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and Adrianna worked so hard to make it memorable. Appetizers and cocktails are phenomenal.
