    The food and and service was top notch. The food was perfect temperature and presented well. The cocktails were delicious and beautifully decorated. Our waiter was very attentive yet out of the way. Very pleasant demeanor despite being very busy on New Year’s Eve. The front desk staff was polite and courteous and kept us apprised of the wait. I don’t know how they stayed so calm with some very entitled patrons.

    Enjoyed a very relaxing New Year’s Eve lunch, with superior service. Alexandra was very attentive and provided great recommendation’s and wonderful service. Enjoyed lobster bisque, blue cheese wedge salad, tenderloin with lobster tails. Spouse enjoyed sliced filet with mushrooms. We shared Brussel sprouts as well. Absolutely fabulous meal, prepared to perfection. Cap Grille remains one of our favorite places to dine.

    The raw oyster appetizer was very disappointing. Two of them were actually nothing more than slime and water! Also we were told if we bought in non-perishable food we would get a champagne toast sent to our table it never came! Not your usual eye for detail yet your prices are still very high! Overall it was a 600.00 disapointment!!

    Had Christmas Eve dinner. Service was great but they were very busy and took longer to get seated even though we had reservations. Will have to come back on a regular night to experience the restaurant again.
