    I went to Bygone for my birthday and I loved it. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken breast, mac and cheese, puree mash potatoes, & the Bygone Buck for a drink ( Moscow mule ). Everything was 10/10 and our waiter was amazing. His drink and menu recommendations were spot on. I believe his name was KC ( not 100% sure ). The restaurant is also BEAUTIFUL and amazing for pictures. I will be back for sure ❤️.

    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.
