    The food was delicious. The service was great. The atmosphere was amazing and the music was awesome. Love classic vinyl. Our server Jordan was very attentive and knowledgeable. And if she didn’t know she asked and was right back with us. We felt like we were her only table. It was great. We have never had a bad experience here. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone because it checks off everything you want in a restaurant. Yes it is little pricey, but not that bad and I believe you pay for the quality of food and service you want.

    We’ve been to several Capital Grille locations, and the restaurant in Louisville matches the wonderful experiences we’ve had in Washington, DC, Tyson’s Corner, Va. & Hartford, CT. It’s our go-to place for special occasions & celebrations. Everett was our server, and he was engaging, knowledgeable and anticipated our wishes. We had the calamari which was tender & delicious & the sliced fillet with Cipollini onions & mushrooms. The fillet was prepared perfectly. My wife who was celebrating a milestone birthday, also had the Expresso Martini, and I had an In Fashion both excellently prepared. And the complimentary birthday dessert was exemplary. We will definitely return.

    My family had Christmas Eve lunch here. As always, the food was delicious. We enjoyed shrimp cocktail, the Chicago roll , and the giant meatball for appetizers. The blue cheese and apple salad is my favorite salad. The steaks were perfectly cooked. I chose the blue crab linguini which was very good. We ate in the bar area which I prefer. Although it was extremely busy, our server Richard did an amazing job. A great dining experience.
