   Amazing food, lobster bisque and tuna were fantastic. Barrett is the best server I've had in a long time! Always made sure our tea and Arnold Palmer's were filled. Will be requesting him next time for sure!

   My favorite spot after a day of shopping! The warm, freshly baked bread and a cup of coffee are an absolute must. So simple, but so comforting. In the evening, the vibe becomes even more elegant—perfect for a glass of wine and a perfectly cooked steak. It’s the kind of place that feels both relaxed and refined. Highly recommend for any occasion!

   Very slow service. We spent almost three hours there for a simple dinner and glass of wine. Then, waited forever for the check. Very different from previous experience

    Through the years, I have enjoyed visiting and dining at the capital Grille. As a CEO, I brought my executives and my family here for special occasions. Unfortunately, last night was a very poor experience. I took my wife for the first time and we had a very disappointing experience. From the moment we walked in the front desk young women were extremely rude and dismissive. Despite having a reservation very early and being a longtime customer, we were seated in very uncomfortable places within the restaurant and they did not want to cooperate to get us a better table. I’m very disappointed in the service I received.
