We had an amazing cornucopia of hospitality this evening. Ethan took care of us at the bar so we could enjoyed the game. Kicked off with mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto.Then split the Sea-bass ??????

O. M. G. - I've had mixed experiences here. Tonight was noteworthy. Amazing service. CHECK. Ridiculously great steak. CHECK. Giant Martini glass. CHECK. Friendly bartender. CHECK. Enjoyable banter with regulars. CHECK. (note I'm visiting from LA). My favorite Capital Grille's are dark and have dark wood paneling. CHECK. I'm from Boston and love the original locations: Providence. Newbury Street. Route 9 Chestnut Hill (my favorite by far). So we had; New York Steak, Gorgonzola Cheese encrusted. Perfect medium temperature. I mean PERFECT. I literally wanted to hug the chef. Perfect medium temp. Standard Creamed Spinach. Delicious. Last time here = fail. This time = Home Run.

The staff is always wonderful here. The food has never disappointed. The have an amazing lobster ? bisque that is not on the menu. I can't get past that and the lamb lollipops as my main course to order anything else.

It's loosing a star because the steak and the asparagus and oscar topping were off tonight. The calamari and crab cake appetizers were great as usual. Lobster Mac is a must get side item! Always love the crème brûlée!!! And the Black Tie Margarita is served just right! I also recently was introduced to the field green salad and liked the Parmesan Vinaigrette so much I make it at home bow. So overall, I would still return, but wish I would have went with the nights special over the filet mignon. Hopefully this was just an off night. We go a couple times a year for different birthdays and events to both Galleria and City Center locations.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Can't say enough about all of the above. Great lighting. Not rushed at all. Great night of relaxation with friends. Food was cooked just as we asked, seasoned just right and some of the best cheesecake I've had.

Nice atmosphere, tasty food, but for the price, I was expecting more. My steak was overdone (I ordered medium and received 3/4+)Cocktails were ok, but not

Food was ok, I’ve had better steak and sides. We had creamed corn and Brussel sprouts.I personally hold service at restaurants like this to a high standard. After all we are spending $100+ per person. This restaurant did not deliver at least not for me. The waiter (an older white gentleman with an accent) only came by to check on us once after we ordered. We had to ask for our water to be refilled, for dessert options, to go boxes, etc. I also saw him bag everyone else’s to go food but he made us bag our own.

Fantastic experience! Calamari was tender, Bass was cooked perfectly, Spinach was crispy, full and tasty, Lamb was cooked perfectly, seasoned well and a bit on the sweet side from the balsamic Vin. Service was spot on, attentive and professional with funnies and playfulness, very good at reading the tables. The restaurant was clean, neat and inviting, and bathrooms as well.

An old friend near the Galleria, with consistently great steaks, great service, robust drinks, and a menu that changes throughout the year. Unfortunately the prices are now entering into the economic discrimination level for the average diner I still has a cozy New York mid Manhattan atmosphere, now with New York prices. .

We visit this Capital Grille often. It is the best one we go to by far. The wait staff is always on top of things and makes you feel welcome and appreciated. That goes for the management too. They come around and make sure that the meal is prepared as you like and also that it all taste great. If there are any issues they are on top of getting it resolved. The chef does a great job with the food preparation, and it always taste great. We will be back soon.

What a disappointment. Steak was flavorless and tough. Dry even though cooked to medium rare. Beets were described as roasted, but were on the mushy side. Asparagus was stringy. We had heard so much about this place, but will scratch it off the list. We get better steaks at Saltgrass, for Pete's sake. Waiter was attentive and we tipped more than the applied gratuity. Atmosphere is good. It was just a failure of the food.

Excellent selections across the menu and outstanding service. Our waiter Roberto was highly knowledgeable and very attentive. Great staff all around, order a drink and it’s on the table in less than 2 minutes. Recommend the Porcini Rubbed Ribeye.

I love steak, I go everywhere for steak, this location is my absolute favorite steakhouse. Filet Mignon is always cooked to perfection, generous 8oz filet that will wake up all your senses. The lobster Mac&cheese was so rich and full of lobster claws. My family and I love this place. Service is exceptional and atmosphere is elevated. Please don't come here all sloppy and casual, respect the vibe and have some class. It wouldn't hurt you to dress up a bit.
