    If you want to go to the Capital Grille, the downtown location is the best. My wife and I have tried them all and enjoy the atmosphere there over the others. The sirloin steak is great!

    Nothing ever changes, and that's exactly as it should be. My pick: bone-in NY strip with gorgonzola and truffle, or the same steak with a Kona crust. Skip the Brussels sprouts.

    Perfect steaks and the lobster mac are a must for dinner. For lunch: the lobster bisque or the lobster & crab cakes are not published on the menu, under 500 calories and still so decadent.

    The steak was perfect! Hard to get a good cut of ribeye steak, but they got it superb! Phenomenal service, and the food is just as phenomenal!

    So great to be back at The Capital Grille for the first time after quarantine. Try the Surf and Turf with the South African Lobster Tail!

    Kona steak & Oscar filet were amazing! Prosciutto mozzarella app was also great! Creme brûlée was perfect. Lobster Mac & cheese was not as amazing as I thought it would be. Overall Great restaurant

    Truly wonderful old fashioned service. Great cocktails, amazing steaks and humongous sides. Caleb (waiter) is a treasure and a marvellous guide for the menu.

    Meat was perfectly done! Service was amazing - look for Matthew Miller!! Not the cheapest in town but certainly worth every penny (and calorie)!!!

    It may sound odd, but the lobster mac and cheese is a must order anytime you visit. It's big enough to share, but you may not want to.
