Our Server, Wendy, truely went out of her way to accommodate our special requests. We had a very successful business meeting, thanks to Wendy!
Food was exquisite as always. Service was slow in beginning but got better as the night went by. They have good selection of 90 plus wine that were less than 100.
My recent visit to The Capital Grille was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we were seated, the warm, sophisticated atmosphere set the tone for what would be a memorable dining experience. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the lamb chops. Cooked to absolute perfection, they arrived at the table with a beautiful char on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The seasoning was expertly balanced, allowing the natural flavor of the high-quality meat to shine through. Each bite was rich and satisfying without being overly heavy. Equally impressive were the Brussels sprouts. I'll admit I was skeptical at first, but these were a revelation. Perfectly caramelized with just the right amount of crispness on the edges, they were elevated beyond the ordinary with what tasted like a subtle bacon influence and perhaps a hint of balsamic. They were the perfect complement to the lamb and proved that vegetables can absolutely steal the show when prepared with care. The service throughout the meal was attentive without being intrusive, and our server clearly knew the menu well, offering excellent recommendations. While The Capital Grille is certainly a splurge, the quality of the food, impeccable service, and refined ambiance make it well worth the occasion. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
Food and service was great. The manager came by and suggested a sauce for the lobster and it was delightful. Will be definitely return.
We go here to celebrate birthdays. This visit was a bit disappointing in that bus staff service was not what we usually have. Had to ask for lemon wedge twice, no breadbasket, slow to refill waters etc. It's usually the best service in town. Must have been an off day. Food delicious as usual.
My friend and I came for lunch, it was a wonderful ambiance and the food was delicious! My friend always comes for the steak frites, and I particularly enjoy the salmon with couscous. I tried the butternut squash soup and it wasn't to my taste, but our server gladly replaced it with clam chowder instead which was really nice :) I enjoy dining here and will return again.
Amazing time - our server Cody was the best!!! Will come back again to try happy hour next time
We love going to The Capital Grill. We're always accommodated with our special requests, the servers are informative and friendly and the food always tastes outstanding.
We had only dined at the Capitol Grill in New York, and were pleased that the California location was just as good. Top notch service, and excellent food. All the food came out cooked perfectly. All the food was hot. Our server checked on us several times during the meal to make sure everything was to our liking and everything was cooked to perfection the way we ordered it. We were celebrating an anniversary and we felt very well cared for and special. 
The ambiance, except for noise level, was very nice, the service was outstanding and the food was cooked perfect and was delicious. But, I recently had a salmon dish at the Mission Inn that was better and half the price. Overall it was a wonderful evening but very pricey.

Had dinner after watching The Whiz at Seagerstrom's. Server was attentive and kind and made great recommendations for our meal.
The Capital Grille is always a treat. I have zero complaints. Everything we ordered from apps to our entrees was delicious! My family had a great time.
A lovely dining experience! The only glitch came at the 11:30 am opening. The women at the front desk were totally unprepared to seat the diners who all had reservations. They were busy consulting each other for 10 minutes as the area filled up with at least 20 people. They were not even welcoming; they were so busy talking to each other and getting organized. The table Wait staff is MUCH better trained.
Everything was exceptional - ambience, food, presentation, service. We look forward to dining here again in the near future. Thank you, Capital Grille, for a wonderful evening!
That was an amazing dinner. Thank you for taken care of us with excellence! Loved every bite.
