    The Capital Grille is always a nice high end experience. The wait staff is very experienced and always polite and professional. Our appetizers, calamari and barrata were delicious. The basket of bread is always amazing. All four of my family members ordered different steak dinners. The were seasoned well and cooked nicely. We had one small issue with my steak and they corrected it immediately. The creamed corn and mashed potatoes we ordered were amazing. We love the atmosphere, and the noise level is restaurant appropriate allowing for pleasant dinner conversation. Even with it being a busy holiday evening, The Capital Grille nailed it as usual! We will always return.

    Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
