    Always consistent all around. Adam was our waiter and he was on point with service. We were celebrating 3 birthdays and the team at Capital Grille made it spectacular! I do want to include our valet experience, he has been there a long time and always makes us feel like we are royalty.

    What a treat. Was here for our daughter’s graduation from Officer Candidates School withe the Marine Corps. Overall, a 5-star experience. I got the American Wagyu. I did feel that the chef hat too hot of a pan for my steak. It had more than a crust on the outside. A little char taste. Our cheesecake was the best we have ever had. Great old school ambiance that you would expect in a steakhouse.

    e have dined at the Capital Grill in DC for many years and it had always been one of our favorites. We now fly from FL to go a few times a year. However, after last night’s experience- we may not return. The steak, while tender, was flavorless and boring. The appetizers were also tasteless. The sides were good though! The service was very slow and inattentive , actually stating that he forgot we didn’t order our meals. This was very unfortunate as it was my husband’s birthday and the slow service made us late for the Capitals hockey game. Your restaurant did not live up to the prices and fame tonight.

    I enjoyed my St. Patricks day birthday dinner with my wife as a man should. Capital Grill is my #1 go-to for steaks and class and they didn't let me down. Thank you to all the staff and management. Apostle Dr. Bennie.
