    As always another great experience. What amazes me about the Capital Grill is the consistency of their food and service. I’ve been to multiple locations across the country and they are the same - Great!

    Exquisite service, warm and friendly, and impeccable quality from the moment of our arrival and throughout our entire special evening. George always has our special booth ready for us and welcomes us back again. Reconnecting with our favorite and best servers Curtis, Jay and Tim made our dinner and the ambiance perfect. Finally, the Valet gentleman is one of the hardest workers you’ll meet and the nice lady who takes care of our coats is a gem and a very beautiful soul.

    Visited on a Monday night and it was a terrific evening! The entire staff was great from the wait staff to the servers to the complimentary valet which is a bonus on Federal Hill. We opted for Massimo's Monday Night Wine + Dine set price menu because they included terrific gluten free Italian options - to include GF bread. We shared the Baby Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Gorgonzola, Candied Walnuts, Pancetta, Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad, Calamari Fritti, Shrimp Scampi and Gnocchi margherita - all cooked beautifully. We parted ways on dessert so there was Tiramisu, Cannoli, and we even added a Cheesecake with Cherries. Needless to say, we are not afraid of a great meal! We will be back! Thank you!
