    Went here for my friend's birthday. It was a lovely time. Our waitress Kristy was exceptional! Also the surprise birthday dessert was spectacular!!! Amazing! Thanks too for the special table decorations and a birthday card for her. It was her 90th birthday and you made it very special!

    The wait staff paid attention to when the next course should be served. We appreciated having time to talk, eat and enjoy the evening. The only concern was the maintenance of the women’s restroom. I mentioned it to someone and hope it was rectified. Not a good look for Capital.

    We had reservations and we were going to be seated in the bar area next to a very busy area. We told them that it wasn't going to work for us so they seated us at the back of the bar and joined two small circular tables for our party of six. Because of this, I really didn't get to talk to my son and his wife. Very upsetting for Mother's Day!

    When you spend $120 on a bottle of champagne, it should be cold not warm.  Food did not come out at the same time I waited 15 minutes before my daughter‘s food came out.
