    The maitre d was able to seat us 1 hr before our reservation which really helped our daughter who had basketball practice at WashU early the next morning. Michelle our waitress had been working since 10am and you would never know it. She was so accommodating and pleasant and refilled my daughter’s drink about 8 times. The best calamari we have ever had at Capitol Grillle. The sides did not disappoint either. 5 star experience!

    We started with beet carpaccio which was amazing. Then shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. The birthday boy got a steak and I got the Delicata Squash side. At that point I was so full that I could barely finish half, even though it was delicious. Everything about the evening was wonderful and our server, Jordan, was engaging. There when we needed her but not hovering. It's a lively atmosphere, so not the place if you want to have a quiet convo but the food and service are top notch.

    Anya was super friendly and attentive, our salads were presented before the warm Quark bruschetta app (killer balanced dish, so good if you’re a smoky bacon and creamy cheese fan) that we were sharing, and she was apologetic given I said we’d start with this dish. Standard size salads - arugula & goat cheese delicious - were more than substantial for a lunch portion - 3 or 4 people could even share it as a lighter app. Excellent value.

    It is a thrill to walk in and see their fabulous bakery cases. You can't forget what you just saw and it is on your mind as you order from Russell's interesting menu. Food was great, waiter was great and the carrot cake, claimed to be the best in St. Louis (correct) and an expresso chocolate cake where a wonderful end to the meal.
