The Capital Grille was absolutely amazing for dinner last night! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The customer service was hands down the best we’ve had in a long time. Our waitress, Jessica, was both professional and personable, making us feel truly welcomed and taken care of. To top it off, the chef came out to our table to ensure everything was perfect, which added such a special touch to the evening. The food was delicious, and the attention to detail in both the service and cuisine made for an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.
