The experience was definitely worth mentioning. We had the pleasure of hosting my husbands birthday dinner/ couples date night addition at this place and we scored the private room for small parties. Boy! We are impressed. Annie the coordinator was so flexible and so informative with myself and my husband and made the planing process so smooth. When we entered the place, valet parking was so easy! This was a Saturday evening and it felt too easy. The front staff set the tone and the ambience created a picture for a wonderful evening. We entered a fully set private room 30 min prior to our guest arrival time. Wow!!!! Lourdes and Gary were so accommodating! Lourdes is one to remember because she really made the experience grand. Her smile and her patience with a party of 16 really did show up and shine on Saturday. The food came out so beautifully made, timely and was very appetizing. We will be back! We will talk about this place to others.

Lourdes gave us an entire Photoshoot at the duration of our event. Never rushed us!!! That is stellar service!!!!

Thank you for making this experience so amazing for our guest. ❤️

My wife really wanted to go here based on the great reviews. However, we did not have a pleasant experience. To start, there is no parking in front of the restaurant so you are forced to do valet which I am not a fan of. Our reservation was for 8pm but we were not seated until close to 8:30 so we weren’t off to a great start. When we were finally seated, to my surprise the tables were very close to one another. The tables were so close that my wife and I felt like we were going to hit the tables beside us because we were that close to them. The restaurant was very loud and we were so close to the tables beside us that we felt like we were pretty much in their conversations. The service was great, our server was great and very attentive, and our food came out very fast. The food however severely lacked flavor. Anytime I go anywhere and there is a lobster bisque or a lobster mac and cheese on the menu I must order it. I have never had a lobster mac and cheese or lobster bisque that was not great until I came here. The lobster bisque did not have flavor and lacked seasoning. The lobster mac and cheese was supposed to be shareable but was pretty small and lacked a good amount of cheese. I also needed to put salt and pepper on the mac and cheese. I ordered the ribeye steak which was cooked very well, was tender, juicy, but lacked seasoning. I needed to put a good amount of salt on the steak. My wife had to do the same with her lamb chops. For as much money as we spent at this restaurant the food was very subpar. What was supposed to be a fine dining experience failed to miss the mark and left my wife and I feeling pretty underwhelmed.

This was the worst location I’ve been too. The lobster bisque was bland. According to the staff that is how it is. Sea bass was undercooked and tough. Ribeye was not well done. Will never go back.

The food is always excellent- on the pricer side but worth the portion. The staff is very sweet and attentive. Marco and Kanita, Lourdes are really great. All of them are awesome.

We had the most wonderful experience during restaurant week at the Capitol Grill in Tysons corner. We had noted on our reservation that we were celebrating my final round of radiation and chemotherapy. The staff went out of their way to decorate the table with stars and cards and special desserts and we were so grateful. I felt so special all night and loved getting to celebrate with such caring staff. Thank you for such an amazing night that I will never forget. Sincerely Christine.

We were there during restaurant week which is reason I'm saying it was very reasonably priced. and we got there early so it was less crowded and we got a very nice table. Service and food were great

Food was great as always. Been coming to The Capital Grille with friends for years. I would highly recommend all to come out if you want great steak, lobster mac & cheese and wine selection. I will be coming back again soon.

A part of our team at Ourisman Lexus Of Rockville all went out to Capital Grill in Tysons corner for a group dinner! We were about 34 and we all had a blast at this wonderful facility!

First of all, the party was huge! I first have to take into consideration all of the contributing factors that led to a pleasant evening!

The lead waiter was Musa, whom at first I thought was a bit loud when he was speaking/addressing the group, but I later understood why he had to speak louder, we had the football game on and it was loud! He later adjusted himself to the larger group he had to service.😊

We had a four course meal beginning with appetizer: calamari, crab bites, seafood Tower etc! Delicious!

Next were the salads and also placing our orders for the main course.
Side orders of asparagus, crab mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, assortment of breads and more were brought to the tables as well.

Our main courses consisted of a mouth watering selections of filet mignon, tenderloins, lobster tails, Seabass, etc.

To end the night, we all indulge in deserts that were truly incredible.

I must say that the food was awesome and the servicing never stopped!

I will highly recommend this place for a large group and even for a smaller group or couples night.

For parking valet was easier to do and only cost five dollars.

Great service and atmosphere. Food just ok for the price. Thought the steak would be better for cost. Great tasting sides tho.

Capital Grille is always a great experience. Coach is an awesome server every time, and Linda (the manager) is super friendly and welcoming. Her customer service is the best! Plus, the valet is super attentive and quick.
