I was in town for the day and this restaurant was recommend for me to try. The place looks very nice. But I wasn’t impress with the food. I ordered the fried Calamari, the portions was minimal, over season to the point you were unable to taste the calamari 🥴… i ordered the Orka stew with fish. It didn’t taste fresh but left-over.

I was actually excited to go there after stumbling across this spot on Halloween. The atmosphere is chill and enjoyable...the food wasn't what I anticipated. The girlfriend and I both ordered 2 different meals based on the menu and the waitress took our orders down, but returned with some form of stewed chicken and what I'm guessing was their version of jollof rice. It seemed as if the menu items weren't available, but that was never discussed when our orders were originally placed. The girlfriend has already stated that she would not be returning. I probably would, but only for comedy nights...not for any type of dining.

Capital Square Bar is a true hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the exceptional service stands out, making you feel genuinely welcomed. The menu offers a delightful range of flavors, from perfectly seasoned lamb chops to uniquely crafted oxtail spring rolls. Every dish is memorable and expertly prepared.

The craft drinks are an absolute highlight here. The bartenders have mastered the art of mixology, creating cocktails that are as creative as they are delicious. Each drink is carefully balanced, with unique ingredients and bold flavors that elevate the entire dining experience. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic or something inventive, the drink menu has something for every taste.

The ambiance complements the meal and drinks, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions. If you're in the area, Capital Square Bar is a must-visit for outstanding food, creative cocktails, and fantastic service.

Love love the restaurant. The food was so superbly delicious I had to do to-go. It’s a home away from home. It’s right in a good locate that you can walk from home to get there. I highly recommend this place. Especially happy hour that African Mama is so good.

Brought my husband here for lunch on his birthday. The atmosphere was nice and cozy inside. We ventured outside to enjoy the weather and that was pleasant too. The food however was under whelming. The red Snapper, which runs about $50 was very small. It was served on a huge plate that made it look even smaller. The jollof rice tasted more like Spanish rice. Wait staff was pleasant.

What a lovely time we had tonight at this phenomenal place! From the moment we arrived, every staff member was welcoming and all smiles. A professional, clean and on point black owned business that not only has a bomb atmosphere but the food was so delicious. We were celebrating my son's 21st birthday and everything on our plates was so good. From the crab macaroni and cheese, to the red snapper and jolof rice... Just yummy! Did I mention that the music is a whole vibe? I could not have picked a better place to celebrate with my family. I am definitely coming back for a Saturday brunch!

Came in from out of town trying to find food. First local place we tried while staying here. Food was amazing, service was great! Try something you wouldn’t normally here, they may surprise you. They surprised me and I am a picky eater. Food was great!

"I'm absolutely loving this restaurant! The food is amazing, and the customer service is top-notch - I'd rate it a bombastic 2.0! The DJ is really cool, and the atmosphere is perfect for business professionals and anyone looking for a great time. Plus, its location in the premium area near Capital Hill makes it a beautiful spot to enjoy a meal. I highly recommend it to everyone!
When you visit, be sure to meet Liar one of the best staff members I've ever encountered. She's fantastic, and I'm sure you'll love her just as much as I do!"
