the capital grille

steaks!. the filet was cooked to perfection and you must try the lobster mac and cheese....holy moly!

capital grille kansas city. had dinner here on a wednesday night; i made reservations and glad i did as even at the 8:00pm seating time the restaurant was full and lively. i have eaten in other capital grille locations (orlando and baltimore) and have always enjoyed the classic american steakhouse experience they offer, however the kansas city experience left me disappointed due to a poor server experience. i honestly think he was drunk, as from start to finish our waiter forgot, overlooked or left out something which for the quality of service i have had at other capital grille's seems unusual.
for our meal we ordered a bottle of the 2007 jordan cabernet. we shared an appetizer of the hot pepper calamari (fried, not grilled), which while tasty is not the best i've had, and the plated tomato/mozarella/basil/balsamic combination which was excellent.
my colleague ordered the sea bass feature and i ordered the filet oscar. for sides to share we went with the parmesan truffle fries (love these) and asparagus.
for dessert my colleague went with the flourless chocolate espresso cake (very good) and i with a 20 year taylor fladgate port.
overall the meal was good, but not quite up to the same standard i've had at the other capital grilles, and the waiter experience was highly disappointing. i can't say i don't like this restaurant as i believe most of the issues of our experience lie with the poor server.

it was ok the clam chowder was good the caesar salad was not mixed up and the dressing was bitter the oysters looked disgusting and the decor is soo dark i can barely see and the dead animal heads everywhere were weird and the walls were as dark as asphalt out of 10 i would give it a 2

i've been there many times. this restaurant isn't someplace i would go twice each week for lunch, but have been there many times and i've never been disappointed. my favorite is the cobb salad with grilled tenderloin. and if you're a fan of coconut creme pie, you must try theirs. it is fabulous.

and while my adventurous nature frequently seeks something new and i love to try the latest and greatest, a mainstay like capital grille will always be a place we dine

capital grille. had high... very high hopes. it is possible that my hopes were just too high, but i wasn't really that impressed. don't let me mislead you, the food was by no means terrible. however, it was by no means phenomenal, either. for me, this was quite disappointing considering price point and reputation. i also found service to be inattentive and lacking (likely due to the waitresses drinking jack daniels all night long, which she admitted to our table...). i ordered the tomato, basil and mozzarella salad along with the miniature lobster and crab burgers. as i said above, the food wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. based on the food alone, i'd certainly return....if i didn't have to pay the bill. if i am going to spend that kind of money on a meal, i'm going to some place like le fou frog where i know that i'll be blown away (and my waiter won't be trashed). overall, i'm going to give it a second chance (with a new waiter). i'm told that i need to return and order the lobster mac 'n cheese, then i'll be able to write a proper review. we'll see... we'll see...

we went there for my friends birthday .it was lunch time but our server told us we could order from the dinner menu . it was absolutely fantastic !!!! way to go capital grille you are worth every penny !!

outstanding!. visited on a tuesday night for a celebratory dinner. the food was outstanding, the service was wonderful. it was expensive but well worth it for a special occasion. we had our 13 year old son with us and the server made him feel special and not out of place.

i was looking for a good steakhouse in houston and my friend recommended going to the capital grille . you enter the place and is like a private cigar club, art deco, chandeliers, mahogany, and dim lighting. prime dry aged steaks all over the menu, thanks god i already knew which one to order, chef jim nuetzi classic cuisine creations, and more than 5000 bottles of wine in their list, is that enough? the place dinner for starter i got the classic caesar salad, hearts of romaine lettuce, croutons, anchovy fillets, reggiano parmesan, and their version of the caesar dressing. excellent, top notch, what you would expect to get from a steakhouse. as a main no questions, the delmonico steak, bone in ribeye, 22 ounces, medium rare, just exquisite, juicy and cooked to perfection, the moist from the ribeye marbling just excellent. apparently the delmonico style was made popular by a restaurant in new york in mid-19th century, you won’t guess the name… delmonico’s restaurant. as a

special place done right. great people and great food. bone in sirloin is a must!

excellent meal. this is one of the best places in kc to get a great steak. the service is always incredible and i love what they have to offer. the filet oscar is my personal favorite on the menu and the lobster mac and cheese is sinful! this will always be my favorite fine dining restaurant in kc.

amazing food and service!. we dined here on a tuesday night. i had never been before but i knew i was in for a treat from word of mouth. i was not disappointed! we started with the smoked salmon appetizer. it was served with a lemon aioli, capers and diced onion. for entrees we both ordered steak. i had the kona rubbed dry-aged sirloin and my friend had the dry-aged sirloin. we shared the creamed spinach and the sautéed mushrooms. every bite was delicious. (thinking about it makes my mouth water!)
our waitress helped us pick out a bottle of malbec that paired wonderfully with our food. this was just the first instance of her amazing service. she was very attentive all night and when i left my wallet there she handled the situation as if i were a close friend. request to be seated in lauren's section! you won't be sorry!

i love this place. i have been to kansas city maybe 8-10 times now, and every time i visit kc, i visit the capital grille with my mate randy. we both love this place. the waitstaff are fantastic and know my mate very well. we are looked after extremely well and the food compliments the service very well. great for a quick lunch at the bar or a long lunch...at the bar, or a great dinner with friends. the capital grille is an all round great dining experience.

capital grille is our "special place". capital grille is the place we go for "special". and we have been celebrating special times there for more than 10 years.

the food and wine are always wonderful. my personal favorites include every steak i've even eaten there. i have also tried and enjoyed a few seafood entrees just for variety, but the steaks are dry aged and exceptionally hard to resist. starters, soups and salads are varied and generally quite good. i love the sides of sam's mashed potatoes, the creamed spinach and the lobster mac n cheese but honestly have never had a side i did not care for. all sides are sized to serve more than one diner. my favorite dessert would have to be the crème brûlée with raspberries on the top but there are several others that are lovely, too.

the service is excellent and generally impeccable. the surroundings are beautiful and understatedly tasteful.

kansas city is most fortunate to have many very nice restaurants from which to choose. but the capital grille is the one that hubby and i nearly always think of first.

the staff makes every guest feel welcome and special. and they are happy to go a bit further to make a "fuss" for a birthday or anniversary if you tell them when you make your reservation.

best steakhouse ever!. love the awesome steak dinners we have there! we go there for special occasions and have never been disappointed. you couldn't find a more classier place with upscale dining than this place.
service is outstanding and very attentive.
we plan on returning for our 38th wedding anniversary very soon.
