We had a company dinner at the capital Grille in one of their private rooms. The experience was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and the food was great! Gio took really good care of us and helped us with anything we needed. Definitely ask for him next time you go. It is so beautiful and moody inside, the staff was so nice and food was good. We will definitely have more events here!

This was an exceptional dining experience and deserves to be commended. First, Stacy, our server was absolutely brilliant. Not only did she know the menu forwards and backwards, she even knew the ingredients in the dishes and went above and beyond to accommodate food, allergies at our table. Some of the best service I have ever had anywhere in the world, and with a side of humor! Priceless! The kitchen staff must also be mentioned as our food was perfection. Every steak was cooked just as we ordered, every plate was beautiful, the house made desserts were to die for, even the bread basket was utterly delicious and generous. Instead of being just another dinner, this was a lovely experience that we will remember forever. Thank you so much to everyone who created the delicious food and fantastic atmosphere.

We came for our 5th anniversary. The table was set with rose pedals and a handwritten card. From the valet to the hosts and servers, the service was exceptional! Everyone that came by us was very attentive. My glass of water was never below half full. The food was a whole experience by itself! A wonderful journey of flavors throughout each bite and each dish! We were gifted a beautiful and delicious dessert as well! Definitely going to be back as often as we can!

After looking for a few restaurants with private dining, We chose this place to host our wedding ceremony and reception. Jenny is so great! She’s very responsive, accommodated all our requests. She made everything easier for us. Staff are friendly and provided excellent service! The food was exceptional! They had the best steak and mashed potato. All our families and friends loved the food. Overall, we had an amazing experience! Highly recommend this place for special events.

Went to dinner with a couple of friends. We were going somewhere else then one said let's go to Capital Grill. I really wasn't dressed for it but she said all they can say is you can't come in. So we gave it a shot. Boy I'm glad we did. This was my first time here and will definitely be back. We got the calamari it had what I think was something like Giardiniera on top. Vegtables that have been pickled in oil and some type of vinegar. This was on top and delicious. There was three of us so we wanted the 40oz Tomahawk steak to share. We all liked different temperatures so we agreed on medium. Our server said no we can probably get it done. The cooked the steak rare for me then sliced off two thirds and cooked it to medium and well so everyone at some there. We ordered the mashed potatoes, asparagus and bacon cream corn to share. Everything was perfect. Finally for desert we got the creme brulee also to share. It was wonderful. Creamy and sweet with fresh berries on top. Me and the ladies I was with agreed everything was perfect. Everyone the hostess who seated us, our server, there server assistant and the manager whom came out to talk with us for a minute or two were all wonderful. Not inexpensive but you are definitely getting a quality meal with service that really can't get any better.

The servers here are TOP NOTCH. I called in to let them know this is for a special occasion but the main person is kind of shy when I made the reservation. They NOTED THAT DOWN! They made sure they kept it lowkey but still was able to make it so special and celebrated with us. The food is absolutely fantastic. Everything in the photos were at 10/10. If there’s anything you should get from this review is that you need to get the mashed potatoes here. Freaking fabulous. That chocolate dessert: 10/10 GET IT

I ate at the Camelback location for lunch and it was so good we decided to eat there again but at this location. We were not disappointed, the salmon was cooked perfectly and my husband said the chicken and risotto were very good. We felt very welcomed by everyone and the service by Josue and team was truly exemplary . Also love this patio as it is very large and dog friendly.
