The Capital Grille wowed with food and service, but the bill ruined it; suggested tips were calculated after tax. That sneaky move feels like paying extra for rain on your umbrella. Last impressions matter, and this one left a bad taste.

Amy, server / bartender, is a complete joy! Food as always is impeccable. The bone in ribeye with a glazed vinaigrette was amazing.

My friends and I came for the Generous Pour event and, once again, it did not disappoint. Out sever Seth was awesome! Seth was attentive, knowledgeable, and he made great wine pairing recommendations. He even had the patience and good grace to accommodate our photo requests with him in the photos đ.

My fav steak house. The meat juicy and tender. Not much seasoning, the meat itself standing out with lots of flavor. But it would be more perfect if the medium rare i asked, really medium rare, tbiz time a bit overcooked.

Great food, great service, great ambience. It's our favorite place to celebrate special occasions. Wendy is an amazing team member at Capital Grille who gives great menu recommendations and makes our visit special.

Celebrated my son's birthday, and as always we had a fantastic dinner celebration. We were a table of six, and our waiter Seth went above and beyond to make sure our dinner was perfect. Can't wait to return.

I am so impressed! Got a reservation here for Fatherâs Day and it was our first time. Couldnât have chosen a better place. The restaurant is beautiful and upscale, their food is delicious, their drinks are strong, but what makes this place stand out from the rest is their attention to detail and their incredible customer service. Our server, Kendra was the best! So sweet, thoughtful and attentive! We had the best dinning experience because of her. She truly made my dad feel extra special on his day! Thank you Kendra and The Capital Grille Costa Mesa for such extraordinary service and food!

Came in with reservations on a busy night with 3 toddlers. Astrid was kind enough to sit us in a corner table with the kids, as she knew they were getting weary. Mikah was our sever and gave us great service. The food was delicious. Service was great! Highly recommend this place.

Atmosphere consistent with other locations. Very good service staff. Good presentation was below average- the steak tartare was flavorless. The âbaconâ is actually heavily seasoned pork belly. The sea bass was well prepared and seasoned however my NY Strip ordered medium rare arrived at the table petrified (well done) and inedible.
a stylish environment, exceptional calamari, mouthwatering steaks, and warm, faithful service. If you're looking to impress on a date nightâor simply indulge in top tier steakhouse fare itâs absolutely worth trying.

Brian was the ultimate sommellier - he recommended the most delicious wines to pair with our most perfect dinner of scallops and lobster risotto. It was an intimate birthday - where they presented a rose, a hand-written card, confetti - and two deserts with candles. It was soooo perfect, thoughtful, and incredible foodie experience.

We have enjoyed Capital Grille for many special occasions. Yesterday, we celebrated our wedding anniversary. There was a sweet handwritten card on the table to greet us. Our waiter Micah was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Our cocktails & wine were excellent as were the yummy au gratin potatoes. The bone-in filet was one of the best we have ever had. We were surprised with a complimentary dessert combo. The manager came by to say hello and check in with us. We look forward to a return visit and will ask for Micah next time. Thank you!

We've been to capital Grove many times. But I think this time was the first notable visit. Service was great and the food tasted great. It was busy and the manager was even involved in the service. Our waiter was friendly and attentive (we shared stories of Maui đ). The new steak special I think trumps the porcini rub steak, which has not been as good - a lot of time they steaks are burnt).
