The service at this place was great. The manager was personally making sure everyone was happy, and the rest of the staff were just as attentive. The shrimp scampi was flawless, and the steak was cooked perfectly and clearly high quality. The sides, asparagus and spinach, were so good I wanted more. Even the bread was a standout, with a great mix of delicious flavors. It was an all-around fantastic meal.

We attended a work dinner and are glad we went! The meeting space was comfortable and the food met expectations. Each course was delicious. I didn’t care for the dessert option but that is a personal taste. I gave a 4 in service because I had to ask for a tea refill after being empty for an extended time. Other than that it was a 5 which is meeting expectations for this restaurant. We’ll always be back!

Fantastic service here, with the manager personally checking on us, as well as other staff. The shrimp scampi was impeccable. The steak was of high quality, cooked perfectly. The asparagus and spinach were both excellent; my taste buds begged for more. This was a wonderful meal. The bread also featured a variety of flavors, all delicious.

The servers name is Brandon L. He made the entire experience amazing and surprising well. My friend and I were celebrating us becoming registered nurses. He found out and brought out a card and some confetti for the table. It was a surprise and amazing. One of our drinks tasted more like tequila than rum and he got us another one even after I told him not to worry about it and it tasted amazing. The food was perfect and I would eat there again just for the food. Afterwards Brandon exceeded our expectations yet again and surprised us with complimentary dessert. The cheesecake was exceptional. I will be going back soon.

The Capital Grille in Phoenix delivered one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years, hands down. From the moment we sat down, the quality was evident, starting with the bread basket. It wasn’t just your standard dinner roll situation—this was a carefully chosen assortment of both savory and slightly sweet options. The roasted garlic bread was rich and flavorful, but the real surprise was the dark, sweet golden raisin bread. It had just the right touch of sweetness and paired beautifully with the garlic option. Next came the appetizer, and this one was truly something special. It was a simple combination—fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic on a Parmesan crouton—but the balance of flavors was absolutely perfect. The saltiness of the prosciutto, the creaminess of the cheese, and the tangy sweetness of the balsamic all came together in a way that made this one of the best starters I’ve ever had. For the main course, everything was cooked exactly as it should be. The steak was spot on—perfect temperature, great sear, and full of flavor. But what really stood out was the potato au gratin. I’ve had plenty of versions of this dish before, but this one was different—rich, cheesy, and cooked to just the right texture without being overly heavy. Now, as good as the food was, the service took the whole experience to another level. Brandon, our server, was as good as they come. He knew the menu inside and out, offered great recommendations, and even shared some interesting bits about The Capital Grille’s corporate history. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with genuine hospitality, but he nailed it. All in all, this meal was a solid five-star experience. It’s not often that everything from the bread to the service hits the mark this perfectly, but The Capital Grille in Phoenix managed to do just that. If you’re looking for a place where both the food and the people make the meal worth every penny, this is it.

Went here for Thanksgiving and it was excellent !! Food was delicious - I had the traditional dinner of turkey and my husband had the seabass. Dog friendly and love the outdoor patio. We will definately come back . Evan our server was awesome and was very attentive. Thank you all for working on the holiday to make our trip a pleasure.
