   Service is amazing here. Food falls a little short. Steak was “ok”. Seafood tower below average quality for this price point. Chicken dish had to be sent back. Manager was amazing. Came to the table a couple times to make it “right”. Server was also amazing!! All of the staff we encountered were very attentive and personable.

   Choosing this place to celebrate my birthday was the best decision I’ve ever made this year. Thank you for all the kindness you put into making the day special.

   Capital Grille is great. We used to visit the location in Miami, which is legendary—so we had high expectations on our first visit to the Columbus location. We loved it. The hosts were professional. The service from Antonio was stellar. The bacon app was delicious. We loved our sides—truffle fries, creamed corn, mashed potatoes—they were delicious, fresh and not greasy. So many local steakhouses offer heavy, oily,salty sides but Capital Grille prepares food well. The 10oz filets were flavorful. The sea bass was sublime and the bone in ribeye (without porcini crust) was the best we’ve had in town. Sauces were flavorful, light and Not salty like those at the other places. The Caesar salad was good but not as crisp as we’d like. The bread basket was nice/-there is charge for bread like other places. We dined in the boardroom which has several tables off the main dining room. The music and noise level allowed for easy conversation at our table for six. There is a coat check —be sure to ask, One shouldn’t have to sit on a coat when fine dining. I hope Cap Grille maintains these standards!

   The Capital Grill is a nostalgic upscale steak house. The menu is creative and not overwhelming. The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. First class food and service.

   Our food was amazing as always at any Capital Grille we have ever ate at. Juan our server was outstanding making suggestions for the table. Steaks were cooked perfectly, the Korean bbq bacon is delicious, and crab topper outstanding. We can’t wait to come back. We were celebrating a birthday and they were kind and brought out a sample dessert tray🩷

   Love this addition to the steakhouse options. The quality is there and who doesn’t love aqua panna as the water regardless if you asked for bottled or tap! The food is delicious and when you order even the clam chowder or lobster bisque- you see the meat! There’s no question they hold themselves to a very high standard!

   What a great restaurant. In my opinion Columbus lacks - supper club or higher mid scale restaurants that are not all about packing people in like sardines to max revenue. Loved the ambiance and music playing low in background. Loved that many people dressed to the location, slacks, nice shirts or better. Only saw one hoodie and one Tshirt. Those are fine I just like when I feel like I am enjoying a special event. Server was fantastic, professional and helpful. Knew the menu and options. Timely delivery and service. I did not feel the food we chose matched up - lots of variety on menu however so may not go across board. I know better than to order small filets as they often came from the tail - higher end restaurants typically do not serve the tails however. We ordered the seared filet and lobster - 6 ounces of filet, 5 in two small tails. We ordered steaks medium they came medium rare. Didn’t return as hard to bump up that little without overcooking so we kept. Two small lobster tails each. One of the 4 was undercooked. It was my wife’s - I gave her one of mine. Again didn’t send back because of food timing etc. flavor of steak and lobster both great. Steak a little chewy versus typical experience as a result of it being 2 small pieces off the tail. Over food had good flavor profile just preparation was not on target. Great choices for shareable sides - we chose asparagus and augratin potato. Both very good. We will go again and try other choices as other than the cooking time we probably go what we ordered. Again loved the over all atmosphere and service.

   Terrific meal yet most wonderful service. And the anniversary roses, champagne, and incredible Creme Brule. Our best decision for a most wonderful anniversary dinner.

    If you enjoy seafood you will enjoy Capital Grille! Not only is the crab appetizer to die for the portions you'll receive are great value. The service was top notch and the ambience a little sleepy which was just what we were looking for!
