    This is our annual anniversary dinner. The Capital Grille never disappoints. The steaks are delicious. The sides are amazing and generous. Love the Stoli Doli. The wine was great. We had plenty to take home, too.

    There were 8 of us seated after the Nutcracker. We had our choice of the dining room or the bar. We chose a high topper in the bar. To put it simply service was excellent from the minute we were greeted at the door to taking our leave. The food was exceptional with a large and varied menu that provided everyone with what they wanted. Ordering came down to trying for as wide a selection as possible which was easy. My food recommendation - get anything that looks interesting to you. We will definitely come back to enjoy again.

    Our waiter, David made this experience for us. We had a wonderful time. The food was plentiful but honestly could have been fresher. Also some things didn’t work…consider sticking to the classics like a cucumber sandwich without modifications. It’s a staple of every high tea for a reason.
