Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille. Open seven days a week, The Capital Grille is best known for our expertly prepared steaks, which are dry aged in house for 18 to 24 days and then hand-cut by our restaurant's on-premise butcher. The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

    Service was very slow and overall not great. The seafood tower was the unexpected shining star of the meal. It was a good mix of our favorite shellfish, and tasted extremely fresh. I’ll definitely get this again. The steaks were ok. A bit gristly for what you’d expect from Capital Grille, but they were acceptable. My biggest gripe is the really poor wine list by the glass. It’s seemingly a list of American wines you can easily get at the liquor store. I’d much prefer some variety from different regions, rather than an obvious markup on some of the less expensive wines I can get myself.

    Service was great but the steak was not. Very tuff and not flavorful at all we will not be in a rush to go back it was a disappointment after waiting so long for the restaurant to open.

    This is your quintessential classic and classy steakhouse restaurant. We both had an appetizer followed by a ribeye for him and a filet on the bone for me and we shared the potatoes. We each had a glass of wine and a we capped it all off with dessert - which we normally don’t do but we just felt like having something sweet. Our server not only brought us our ordered desserts but also brought a side plate of their cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake - way too much so we took it to go (thank you). Service was superb - these are well trained, attentive, personality plus individuals with an eye for service. My only con - and this is my personal observation, there were a lot of service staff running around, A-they looked a little frantic, calm down and it will be just fine and B-keep the chatter between staff to a minimum, we can hear you and the girls you like ;-). But honestly, it’s a great place to have dinner, a great experience and have great service. We will be back for sure. So glad there is a CG in our neck of the woods!!
