Editorial Review for The Capital Grille – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The scene reflects an upper-crust yacht club. Maroon, forest green and almost-black blues offset the dark woods throughout the spacious dining room, decorated with imposing bronze statues and stag heads. Families, businessmen and couples with hearty appetites fill the booths and small tables. American grub at its finest: six cuts of steak, fist-sized lamb chops and lobsters weighing up to five pounds. For dessert, there's rich, fluffy cheesecake with strawberry sauce and a sugary crust.

My husband took me here for our one year wedding anniversary. I knew this place was classy, but it exceded my expectations. From the friendly front desk to the wait staff and our own personal watier, it was first class all the way. They even took our picture and even had it printed and "framed" and all of the staff signed a Happy Anniversary card that was waiting at our table for us. We started off with a free champagne toast and ended our meal with a free dessert to boot! Of course, we both ordered steaks for our meals, which were cooked perfectly and very tender. We will definitely be going back and soon! By far our very best dining experience ever.

Pros: Customer service, wine list, desserts, atmosphere

Cons: None

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have eaten at the capital grille twice, and of the five best meals I've ever eaten in my life those two meals are in the top five. The service was unbeatable and Matthew was very informative and entertaining. I like their steaks and their desserts are to die for. The prices are up there but I would recommend this place for a special occasion date. It is very loud so I would not call it romantic. I also liked the decor and location is close to the theaters.

Pros: the food, thats why I go to restaurants

Cons: a little noisy and a little pricey
