   Fabulous, great server. Really fun. Food was great love the lamb. The crab was dry though & could use hot butter as lobster.

   Service was good. Table next to us the dude had on a ball cap work boots graphic t and jeans. So you need to enforce your dress code better. My entree was terrible. Tenderloin and lobster- beef was gross and lobster undercooked. I literally left it uneaten. Husband’s ribeye was delish and he shared fortunately. Appetizer and dessert was good. Just my entree was disappointing.

   First time experience, birthday celebration with son. Steaks were delicious, but family/table sides were underwhelming. All of them. Waiter/waitress couldn’t decide who was waiting on table so disorganized for the first 30 min including duplicate drinks. Dessert time, waitress takes the desert order but brings out a completely different dessert with a birthday candle in it for our son, he asks if he’s going to get the other dessert, was never brought out. When you pay this much for a meal ($175 per person) you expect 5 star service and 5 star food, not underwhelming service and food. 5 stars for the steaks, 2 stars for everything else. Will not be returning.

   Food and service were outstanding. LOVE the bread selections that they bring out. Steak was amazing as were the sides. Definitely in our steakhouse rotation

    We had an excellent meal at The Capital Grille over the weekend. The food was perfect, but I could not give a 5 star experience for a couple of reasons. The server was nice and answered any questions we had. However, he was also very slow to take our order, deliver drinks, and close out the tab. I had to ask twice for the status of one drink order which ultimately took 30+ minutes to come out and was watered down once received. This was a birthday celebration and I had arranged to have a champagne toast come out for the table, but it never came out. When it came time to pay we did not see our server for 20+ minutes. Once we finally received the bill, it took about 15 minutes more to get everyone closed out. All in all we estimated that the service turned our 2 hour meal into about 3 hours in total for a table of 5 people. It just put a damper on the evening because we were ready to go, and we were all stuffed and did not expect the meal to take quite that long. We will return again for sure. For the price ($600 for 5 people) we just expect top-notch everything. 4 out of 5 stars is still very good!
