Today, my husband and I dined at this location of Capitol Ale House with a large party to celebrate a family members birthday. Hope H our waiter was awesome. I loved my Cob Salad and Calamari. She is a definite keeper there at Capitol Ale House, awesome customer service.

Went here for dinner tonight with some friends and had one of the worst meals ever. Food came out with a hair right on top of it, drinks were not being refilled, soup coming out cold, missing food items and never was once visited by a manager or offered any kind of compensation for all of the issues we experienced.

This week is Chesterfield County, VA Restaurant week. My wife and I selected the Capital Ale House based on the menu offerings for the week. We are delighted that we did. The menu was extensive for a restaurant week. There were 3 or 4 choices for each course of the 3 course meal. We started with a spinach and cheese dip with tortilla chips that was absolutely delicious. My wife had the vegetarian pasta dish and raved about the taste. I am a steak snob, having eaten the best of the best in Texas. I had the 8oz sirloin that was done to perfection. Covered lightly with a mushroom and toasted almond sauce with a hint of blue cheese it was tender and incredibly delicious. It came with brocollini and mashed potatoes. The desert was a brownie with toasted pecans in a chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. Our waiter was Andrew and his attention and service were impeccable. All in all I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It has become our new favorite. Well done.

The atmosphere was amazing. The BOH Manager Derrell came, and ask have I been waited on, I told him “No”. He went and check, when I looked My waitress Madison was ready to take my order. She was polite and friendly. I definitely will be coming

This dining experience was sub par compared to my previous experiences at this restaurant. We sat in the bar area as there was an hour wait in the dining room due to LARGE sports team party. This visit, the French Dip steak sandwich had greasy burnt pieces at the bottom of the sandwich. Our interactions with the waitress were professional but she was clearly in less than a happy mood. My beverage was forgotten until I walked up to the bar to inquire. I’m pretty sure this was just a bad night for them and not their standard. If you’ve never eaten at Capital Ale House, it’s definitely worth giving them a try.

The adventure started with the hostess walking away without a greeting in sight until someone else happened to be walking by and sat us. This was followed by our server very comfortably sitting at our table for quite a while like we were old friends while taking our order. Really! True story. The restaurant did not smell clean. I bet you're asking why I stayed. I guess you can say I'm a sucker for chances. I won't waste of your time but that performance was followed by very mediocre food, and no one caring.
Placed an order then told that “we’re out of that”…should have known to not order anything then but went ahead and placed an order for steak. This “steak” was ordered medium well and it came out beyond rare. Needless to say this place not only doesn’t know how to properly order items needed for their very limited menu but they also do not know how to cook. Beyond disappointing

The smokehouse burger was fantastic, and the fries were good as well. The waiter was very helpful in giving us tasters to see what we wanted to drink. He was good about seeing our needs without checking in overly much. The drink selection is great outside of beer, which I often have trouble finding at a tap house, as someone who doesn’t like beer. Overall great experience for mom’s night out!

Nice little bar in downtown Richmond. Had a couple pints of beer and a couple of apps. There is also a downstairs area that has different drafts on tap than upstairs so make sure you check it out. I would visit again when I come to Richmond.
