the capital grille

the very best. 5 stars food, 5 stars service, 5 stars management. my wife and i celebrated our anniversary at capital grille and had a great, great time. the food and service were superb and that happens because of great management.
i have had great dinners from baltimore to sandiego and capital grille out classed them all.
thank you everyone at capital grille.

i don't see what the big hype is. i don't see anything special about the capital grille. it's not horrible - on a scale from 1-10 i would give it an 8. i've had better calamari and steak in town at other places. the people who work here are very snobby.

very bland, very average. my wife and i went to capital grille last night to celebrate her birthday. evening started out fine as there was no wait to be seated, even without a reservation. i soon discovered why. my wife's spinach salad was actually sub-par, although her crab cakes were pretty good. my steak was average at best. the cut seemed poor and was prepared lacking any flavor whatsoever. i've actually had better steaks at chili's. the potatoes we ordered appeared to be from a can....very bland. and even the key lime pie was easily outshined by my local grocery store. i'd like to say the service was a redeeming factor, but it wasn't. our server failed to bring out a steak knife with my dinner, leaving me trying to hack through my steak with a butter knife. i've eaten here several years ago and my experience was much improved. we won't be going back. it was pretty pricey and there are several other better steak places within walking distance of the capital grille. my wife is more of a food critic than i am...needless to say birthday dinner was a crash and burn. thank god i got her a nice gift!

missed the mark!. every anniversary we dine at capital grille. experience gets worse each year. we always ask for same booth, at the back of the restaurant on the wall where it's quiet, but they normally sit us next to noisy groups or, when cigars were allowed, close to the bar and the smoke...yuk! this year the food was a joke. my wife ordered her steak medium, it was well done. i ordered medium, it was rare. hers had fat and grissle. mine was just tough. the 7 traveling sales guys next to us were there when we arrived & drinking copious amount of wine & liquor. they were just ordering food when we left. and talk about noise, it was unbearable. not a great night. we will find somewhere else next year. this is sad because i used to bring groups here for luncheons and spend $500-$800 before i retired. in those days you could cut the steak with a fork. they live on their past accomplishments and have become complacent. oh, did i mention the manager walked by three times and never said a word to us even though someone had decorated our table so he knew it was a special occasion. my wife didn't get a rose this time either. to top it off it took 10 minutes for the attendant to find our coats. we had more fun after we got home and walked the dog and gave the mutt a benadryl!

for those not in "the know". best steakhouse in the america. wonderful filet mignon. order a stoli dole-not on the menu!

wonderful! excellent!!. i love this place. the ambience is great and the food is just as good. they even have valet parking. i highly recommend it for a date or for guest that come into town.

well rounded. the capital grille is one of those locations that offer a multifaceted experience that will appeal to anyone out looking for a relaxing evening. the bar is very active and attractive and provides for an opportunity to either wait for a table, or get knee deep in a bar tab. hey, it happens!
regarding the dinning experience, it's really hard to say something that hasn't already been said before. an excellent menu that is consistently executed, paired with punctual and polite service makes coming here a "hard to go wrong" decision.

consistent pleasure. consistent high quality. i really like the fact that you can valet your car (free) have a great meal. go to a show (they'll save your doggie bag for you) and come back and get your food and car.

great food. don't miss the truffle fries. yummy!

i make an exception for this chain. probably my best dinner in kansas city. it's so hard for me to say that because i make it a point to eat local and promote eating local. of course, i'm too poor to eat there often anyway. if you are saving up for a very special occasion this would be your restaurant. from the appetizers to the drinks to the desserts, the service is impeccable, it has the ambiance, it's an incredible restaurant. i swore i would never eat there because they booted out the bristol but we recieved our first visit as a gift. oh-la-la-they sold me, lock stock and barrell!!!

snobby. ate here with my co-worker while we were on a consulting project. granted we're fresh out of college and look a little young, but we were treated like children and the waiter was extremely inattentive. maybe because there was a party of bankers/lawyers nearby that were blowing cash on $500 bottles of wine, but the service we received was awful. food wasn't great either... my co-worker's steak came out ok, but mine was over-cooked and i gave up trying to get the waiter's attention to re-do my order... don't waste your money here.

disappointed. went here for a birthday for a friend.

lobster bisque and squash bisque were creamy and tasted real good. the calamari and oysters on the half shell were awesome. our table was sent a complimentary scallop which tasted out of this world. the pumpkin cheesecake was the best pie i have ever tasted, the creme brulee was not bad either. the service was impeccable. oh, the lobster mac and cheese, truffle mac and cheese, and potato au gratin was outstanding.

my porterhouse served with some type of butter sauce and shrimp tasted as if it was prepared at a luby's diner. it tasted like it was not seasoned at all then some sauce was dumped on top. i was absolutely disappointed by the lack of any flavor. the shrimp was delicious though. my wife's fillet was the same way.

i hate not recommending this place, but at those prices, i can't chance that my next steak will go flavorless.

great steak house. we had dinner at the capital grille on 17 oct. 2009. the menu is primarily steak house fare, with a few other choices.

the french onion soup was excellent, as was the spinach salad. we all ordered steaks, and all were prepared perfectly and were flavorful and tender. service was excellent, and the wine list offered many good choices over a wide price range.

we highly recommend it, and look forward to returning.

capital yumm-o. valentine's day. five courses. i savored every bite. the meal was memorable. my date wasn't. haha.

a fine dining experience. overall, i was very please with my meal here. it was nothing spectacular but i expected to have a very well cooked meal in a very upscale atmosphere and it met that expectation exactly.
