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.

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

4 Star Rating: Recommended

My boyfriend took me here after I got a new job. It was a great location, offered great customer service and the food was super good. He made reservations and we had a pretty private booth. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dinner or lunch and is willing to pay a little more for the better customer service.
