   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.

   Perfect Mothers Day Brunch/Lunch. South African Lobster Tail paired with Filet Mignon, amazing! Also a cracked pepper New York Strip, again amazing. Server was great, educated in regard to the menu and very personable. Great job, thank you!

   Always enjoy coming here. The last few times, the food quality seemed to be dropping. Service was fantastic as always.

   I don’t remember our waiters name but he was amazing. We were in a hurry because we had tickets to a show at Segerstrom and he hustled our food out and was so helpful! WOW! Great service!

   Another wonderful evening at the Capital Grille. The food and service are consistently first rate. My guests and I always leave the restaurant with a smile. And tonight I tried a new offering, the “Butcher’s Block program. I took home a 10 oz filet mignon to enjoy tomorrow. They cut and package the steak with some of their seasoning mix and steak sauce. I’m already looking forward to dinner tomorrow. I’ll try my hand at grilling my steak to duplicate the experience at the restaurant. What fun…fingers crossed. Thanks for a great evening.

   Capital Grille is our family's favorite steakhouse in orange county. We go there for our family birthdays and special occasions. I also love to take my clients there for lunch. With no exception, everyone loves the steak choices and lobster and crab cakes. Not only the food quality is high, the services are excellent. Our favorite server is CAROLINA. She is just so loving and always pays close attention to our needs. She is the best!!
