Great menu, plenty of options for everyone in the family! The French Dip sandwich didn't have much cheese and was a little dry, but the sweet potato fries were really good. Otherwise, the food was great. It was a little chilly where we were seated, any time the front door opened.

This was our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The beer selection we knew was fantastic, but the food was very good! Much better than normal bar food. Our server was great - it was crowded but everything was correct and the wait was minimal. We will be back!

This was our first visit to Capital Ale House - it definitely will not be our last, we will be back! Really enjoyed the food, parking was ample and convenient, and service was good. See you next time we're in the area!
