I had an amazing first experience at The Capitol Grille! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our waiter, Brian, truly made the night exceptional—his service was attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. He made great recommendations and checked in often without ever being intrusive. The food, drinks, and overall service were fantastic. Every dish was cooked perfectly, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The cocktails were top-tier as well. For a first visit, it absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend The Capitol Grille—and be sure to ask for Brian!

Unlike Little Alley Steakhouse, Capital Grille never lets you down and they always come through! Service is second to none and food is top-notch! Can't wait to visit again! Make sure you try the South African fried lobster tails!

Capital Grill is a staple; especially the Buckhead location. Come for drinks at the bar, lunch or an intimate dinner.

If you want to have meat as your main course and sit 8 stories above Buckdead than make a resevation at Capital grill and dine in ambiance.

Every ones meat was perfectly prepared and the creamed spinach was great with the nut meg flavor. We dined

🌟 **An Unforgettable Anniversary at The Capital Grille** 🌟 We celebrated our anniversary at The Capital Grille – and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and elegance. The ambiance was perfect: intimate lighting, refined decor, and just the right touch of celebration. Our server Ben was attentive without being intrusive, making us feel genuinely cared for. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. The dry-aged steak melted in our mouths, and the lobster mac and cheese was indulgent perfection. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. What truly made the night special were the thoughtful touches – a personalized card, complimentary dessert, and the staff's genuine enthusiasm for our celebration. It wasn't just a meal; it was an experience we'll treasure. Thank you, Capital Grille, for making our anniversary unforgettable. We'll be back – not just for the food, but for the feeling.

Not your typical Capital Grill experience at all. From the Armed Atlanta police officer at the door way, to not a single maître d'/hostess the atmosphere was not what I expect of an “upscale” restaurant. This was not it. I ordered creme brulee and it was not even cooked. It was running, they never offered to replace it or even suggest an alternative. The experience here was definitely lacking and I am very disappointed!

We went here for my husband's birthday. Everything was top notch. Definitely a highlight to our weekend getaway. The only thing unsettling was the armed police officer at the front. I am still unsure why they have a police officer in their establishment.

First of all, props to Zoe, our waiter. She was a rockstar. The manager was very courteous as well and checked on us twice. The food was amazing and my steak was one the best I’ve had. They were also very accommodating to my wife’s food allergies.

Excellent service! Everyone from valet, hostess, waiters and waitresses... full staff was outstanding. Food was excellent and steaks cooked exactly how we ordered them. Cocktails were delicious. Restaurant was clean, elegant with a beautiful view.

The main dishes are always great, but its the sides that make a well rounded restaurant. The brussel sprouts are AMAZING! Cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The creme brulee cheesecake was the best cheesecake Ive ever had!

Flawless Sunday dinner — Buckhead Capital Grille delivered

Date: Sunday, 10/12/2025
Party: 4 (myself, my girlfriend, my best friend, and his wife)

From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in great hands. We were greeted by Charise, a knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming hostess who set the tone for the entire evening. She was beyond exceptional—warm, attentive, and proactive about the little details that make a celebration feel special.

Drinks & Start:
We began with waters, an iced tea (with syrup), and three Noble Paloma cocktails—I enjoyed mine so much I ordered a second. For starters, the table split pan-fried calamari (crispy, tender, and not at all greasy). We also had a silky lobster bisque and a crisp field greens salad that balanced the richer plates nicely.

Mains & Sides:

Seared Citrus-Glazed Salmon (best friend): beautifully seared outside, flaky inside, the citrus glaze was bright without overpowering the fish.

Dry Aged Bone-In NY Strip (friend’s wife): deep steakhouse char, perfect temperature, and that concentrated dry-aged flavor you expect from Capital Grille.

Wagyu & Lobster (girlfriend): indulgent and memorable—luxurious marbling with sweet, perfectly cooked lobster.

Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu (me): melt-in-your-mouth richness and a spot-on sear. Worth every bite.

Shareable sides were classic and excellent: sautéed spinach (garlicky and vibrant) and Sam’s mashed potatoes (buttery, smooth, and exactly what you want alongside steak).

Service & Celebration:
Charise asked if we were celebrating anything, and we mentioned our belated September birthdays. Toward the end of the meal she surprised us with a celebratory treat—thoughtful, festive, and the perfect finishing touch. That gesture, along with consistently attentive pacing and check-ins, elevated a great meal into a standout experience.

Bottom line:
This was Capital Grille at its best—polished hospitality, expertly prepared food, and a room that still feels special. Well worth every penny. A+++++++ We’ll be back, and we’ll be asking for Charise.
