Of all the steakhouse chains I’ve visited, The Capital Grille was my favorite with its delicious food, extremely attentive staff, and relaxing-but-elegant ambiance.
From the moment we walked into the restaurant, my family felt relaxed and taken care of.
Through several courses — which included some of the best calamari I’ve ever eaten and a few perfect wine pairings — we kept chatting about what a wonderful experience we were having.
The service and atmosphere alone made this steakhouse my favorite, and the food only sealed the deal.
We tried everything from surf and turf to filet au poivre and loved every bite. My son, who always orders burgers at steakhouses, said The Capital Grille served the best he’d had.
Our meal cost more than $500 after tax and tip, so going here wouldn’t fit into our weekly dining out budget. Still, I’d request dinner at The Capital Grille for a special occasion or return for date night with just my husband to save a few hundred dollars.
