It was my granddaughter’s birthday. The table was decorated and there was a birthday card. To top it off, they gave her a free desert. We were blown away!

Once again Capital Grill was excellent. Our party shared the fried calamari as well as the tuna tartare for appetizers. Both were very good especially the calamari. My wife and guest’s entrees of filet with lobster were superb. My Gorgonzola encrusted NY strip was quite good as well. For dessert we had berries with cream and coconut cake both of which were delicious. All this excellent food was served by Joe, our very friendly and knowledgeable server. We’ve eaten at several Capital Grills over many years and have always enjoyed the experience.

The quality, ambience and service have never been disappointing. It is a cut above any other “chain” steakhouse and better than many stand alone’s.

Some restaurants serve great food. Others offer great service. But The Capital Grille does both—and then goes above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Exceptional Food: A Steak Lover’s Paradise 🥩🔥 At The Capital Grille, every dish is flawlessly executed. The steaks? Perfectly aged, expertly seasoned, and grilled to absolute perfection. Whether you prefer a buttery filet mignon, a boldly flavored dry-aged sirloin, or a rich, marbled ribeye, every bite is a celebration of flavor and quality. The sides? Just as impressive. From the decadent Lobster Mac & Cheese to the velvety-smooth mashed potatoes and crisp, flavorful Brussels sprouts, each dish complements the main course without overshadowing it. And let’s talk about the wine list—curated to perfection, offering an impeccable selection to match every palate. Service That Anticipates Your Needs 🍽️✨ Service at The Capital Grille is not just good—it’s flawless. The staff has an uncanny ability to anticipate your needs before you even ask. Your glass never stays empty, your meal is perfectly paced, and you feel like the most important guest in the room. What sets them apart? True hospitality. The servers don’t just take your order; they create an experience—one that feels personal, seamless, and genuinely caring. A Graduation Celebration with a Special Touch 🎓🍰 The highlight of the night? A surprise, extra-special dessert to celebrate a graduation—without even requesting it! This wasn’t just a standard dessert off the menu—it was a beautifully plated, celebratory treat, presented with warmth and sincerity.
