The Capital Grille is a popular restaurant for date nights and special occasions, known for its attentive service and pleasant ambiance. The food, wine, and cocktails are consistently excellent, with popular starters including calamari, tuna tartare, and shrimp cocktail. Entrees like porcini rubbed ribeye, filet mignon with lobster tails, and roast chicken with risotto receive high praise. Diners enjoy the filet mignon and the delicious flourless espresso chocolate cake. The restaurant also offers outstanding cocktails, and the cold shellfish platter with oysters, lobster, crab, and shrimp is a favorite. Guests appreciate the perfect dry-aged bone-in strip and the rarely seen porterhouse, although some have noted that the crab-lobster cakes can be a bit bready for the price. The staff pays close attention to detail, ensuring drinks are delicious and well-made, and the overall experience is highly positive. The management team often makes a welcoming appearance, adding to the inviting atmosphere, and the waiters are amazing, with many customers expressing appreciation for their service. While most dishes are prepared perfectly, there are occasional instances where appetizers or sides may lack seasoning or doneness. Overall, The Capital Grille remains a top choice for both food and service in the DC Metro area and has become a go-to for high-end dining in the McLean-Tysons Corner area.
