   Capital Grill is a favorite of mine and my lovely wife. The filet mignon and lamb chops were awesome as usual...the grilled asparagus is a personal favorite but the roasted brussell sprouts stole the show! The atmosphere was vibing and the restaurant was as comfortable as it could be. Our server was a class act Gentleman who demonstrated exceptional etiquette and style for the evening. He is an excellent liaison for Capital Grill.

   Cory was an excellent server! He is experienced and knowledgeable and very attentive! The host, James, is well experienced at the front door and makes you feel welcomed despite it being very busy on a Saturday night! I could tell the staff was overwhelmed with the amount of people but me & my date waited for our table for only a few minutes. Much faster than expected! My date and I felt that the staff was very attentive to our wants/needs. The only complaint that I can think of are some of the prices are too high but I understand that has to do with inflation.

   We really appreciated the special birthday adornment on our table, as well as the birthday boy’s special dessert. Our waiter Corey was excellent. My husband’s and my cocktails (espresso martini and French 75) weren’t up to your usual standards, and the lamb chops were barely seasoned. I’m not sure if it was because it was a Sunday evening.

   A little cramped and loud but a good meal and nice staff.

   Our family discovered the perfect Thanksgiving tradition at Capital Grille, where elegance meets warmth. Capital Grille transformed our Thanksgiving into an affair of refined comfort and exceptional dining. Forgoing the traditional home-cooked feast for Capital Grille proved to be an inspired decision for our family's Thanksgiving celebration.

   This was my first time going to this location and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The ambiance was cozy and festive (loved the decorations), staff were pleasant and had approachable dispositions. Furthermore, my request in the reservation to be seated by a window was honoured without me having to remind the hostess. The food was tasty and portions copious. The calamari, the lamb chops, cheesecake and creme brulee were our faves. The turkey was the tastiest we have had yet in a restaurant so we were happy we got to take home the leftovers. Our waiter, Korey, was personable, professional and patient. He didn't vanish for long periods and checked in regularly. He didn't grimace once when we asked him to repeat the specials a few times (sorry Korey)! The icing on the cake was the maitre d''s friendliness and first-class customer service. Kevin F. stopped by, greeted us warmly and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. He definitely caught my attention - I was impressed because as many times as I've been to the Fairfax Corner location the maitre d' there has never stopped by my table. When one of the dishes we ordered was not served as we had requested, and a specific ask was forgotten, Kevin came and apologised profusely and then went all out to ensure our full satisfaction. He served us himself and checked to see whether the chef got it right the second time around, supervising the staff who rallied around us to give our new plates. Another thing that stood out was Kevin's support of his staff, praising Korey and taking full responsibility for the blunder, not throwing him under the bus as I've witnessed in some instances. Kevin's leadership skills are exemplary and his personality on point, so he has a following! :) We were really touched by his attentiveness and appreciative of his determination to ensure our Thanksgiving celebration was not marred in the least, and it wasn't. We will visit again. Thank you Kevin and Korey, and Happy Thanksgiving!
