My partner and I had reservations on Valentines but due to the bad weather we were a little late. We called ahead and they were accommodating and kept our reservation. Valet and coat room/front desk attendants were pleasant. It was very busy but our waiters were very attentive! They provided a complimentary rose which is such a lovely touch for the occasion. 10/10 service. For appetizer’s we got the “Lobster and Crab Cake with Lemon Basil Aioli”. The crab cake was standard but there were larger chunks of lobster which I enjoyed. Light flavoring in the cake itself, but the aioli made the dish. The basil was prominent but not overwhelming, overall 7.5/10. I got a side of truffle fries, nothing innovate or crazy. Pretty standard, 7/10. For our main course we both got chef recommendations. I received the “ Sliced Filet Mignon* with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence” which I’ve pictured below. My filet mignon was cooked to PERFECTION (medium rare). It was hands down one of the best filet mignon’s I’ve had in a while. The meat was lightly seasoned and the fig essence didn’t overpower it, in fact they paired lovely. The mushrooms and onions were also coated in the fig essence. I didn’t care much for them but they were okay, the dish as a whole is a 9/10. My partner ordered the “Seared Tenderloin* with Butter Poached Lobster Tails” which is visible in the first photo. I can’t go into much detail on behalf of my partner but from what I tasted his tenderloin was cooked to his liking and the lobster tail was soft. Our only “complaint” was the overwhelming amount of butter, and the whole dish tasted like butter, 6.5/10. The ambience made for a romantic date, the lighting was dim and the music was 1950’s classic pop/light jazz. All in all it was a lovely evening. I’ll definitely be revisiting but on a more casual note. The restaurant was packed and the food took a little long but that was expected since it was Valentine’s Day dinner.

Had to change my review last time we came in the food was awful sat on the warmer for way to long took 40 minutes to get the bread basket had the lobster Mac and cheese which was so tough I always get this dish it comes with bread crumbs they didn’t even put the breadcrumbs on top was super hard and just was left out for two long won’t come back anymore, husbands sliders tasted like they had been sitting out for an hour. Didn’t even box out food up handed us boxes which didn’t even get enough boxes we were so over it we just wanted to leave. Really disappointing since we come here twice a week

The quality and freshness of the food is amazing! The sides were delicious: creamed spinach & mashed potatoes and our steaks were cooked to perfection (filet & ribeye). Bravo Capital Grill! Did I mention the desserts were amazing as well?

My husband and I came on Christmas Eve and we were blown away but the excellent service, atmosphere and quality of the food and drinks! The restaurant was very busy and nearly filled to capacity but we were seated within just a few minutes. Our table was in a perfect location; in the main dining room and next to the wine room but not in the middle of traffic. Our meal was paced perfectly. We started out with the roasted beet and goat cheese salad. For our entrees we both had steaks which were cooked to perfection. I had the 10oz New York Strip and my husband had the dry rub Kona Steak. We also ordered the mashed potatoes which were excellent. The server even asked if we wanted to take the steak bone home for the dog. It's sometimes been our experience when dining out on holidays the restaurants cater to the larger parties however this was not the case at all. My only wish was to have baked potatoes on the menu. However most restaurants don't seem to offer those anymore. We will definitely be back!

We had a private room for a holiday party and the experience was top notch. Davis was our server, and I can not say enough good things. He was very attentive and made the experience perfect. We ordered quite the spread and the food was fantastic.
