Experiencing our 63rd anniversary was special. The steaks were incredible and like nothing else we’ve experienced! The service and atmosphere were so spectacular. We have celebrated yearly with Capital Grille and hopefully will continue! We were treated to a complimentary dessert and had our photo taken as well!

We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

This a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and exceptional service. The appetizers were fabulous, all of us loved our meals, and the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had. I had messaged ahead that my family needed a quiet, private table to discuss a cancer diagnosis. The compassion of the manager who greeted us when we arrived was so sincere, and all the staff members went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and given privacy. We will definitely return, hopefully next time when I’m cancer free! Thank you again for helping us through a difficult night.
