Valerie C. along with the other staff, made my Birthday extra special by making me feel extra special. The food was great! My table was decorated nicely, and Valerie gave me a card as well, along with a rose and dessert for my birthday. I am so glad that I chose to go to Capital Grill for my birthday lunch because it was amazing as always.

Went for my wedding anniversary. They did a great job making you feel welcome and creating a nice atmosphere for our special evening. The food was amazing, and the service was just as amazing. Our server Kyrie was great! Would definitely go again. There are a lot of appetizers that many people recommended, but we loved the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks. My wife's Filet and my NY Strip were cooked to perfection. Loved the lobster Mac and cheese as well as the Brussel sprouts.

The Capital Grille was fabulous. From arrival to leaving, they provided exceptional service. Upon arrival, they greeted us with a smile, and there was no wait. The table was ready and they even accommodated our large party with a few unexpected people. The waiter Paoblo was amazing. He provided us with all the chef's specials and provided a detailed review of the menu. He was very attentive to our needs. The manager on duty was very professional and pleasant and ensured we were taken care of. As we celebrated three birthdays, it was a pleasant and memorable evening. Thanks, Capital Grille Team See you soon.

I celebrated my birthday at The Capitol Grille, and I can confidently say it was the best meal I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was absolute perfection. The filet mignon was flawlessly cooked—tender, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The lobster mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was incredible. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the outstanding service. Our server, Christopher, went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable evening. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were his only table. His attention to detail and warm demeanor elevated the entire experience. One of the most memorable moments was when the chef personally delivered our two-year-old’s kids’ meal. It was such a thoughtful and charming touch, and the chef was so welcoming. It made the night even more special. From the impeccable food to the top-tier service, this was hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend The Capitol Grille enough, and I can’t wait to return!

William our waiter was fantastic. He took care to see each dish and the drinks were perfect. We were celebrating an engagement and William made it a special occasion on top of her saying yes

We had dinner here today for my wife’s birthday. Our waiter was Barry who did an excellent job of taking care of us. We both had the filet which was excellent with mash potatoes and spinach. I also got a ceasers salad and mushrooms. My wife received a birthday treat and a beautiful rose. All total, the meals were just as good as many of the top steak (Capital is also one the top steak restaurants) restaurants in greater Cincinnati. From my experience, Capital service beats them all. I look forward to our next visit. Thanks Barry and team Capital Grille.

Amazing food, excellent service, and a true high quality experience. 5 Stars. Would recommend. Food Quality Food here at Capital Grille is excellent, and some of the best I have eaten in Ohio. Rivals top quality restaurants in Vegas and New York. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we went all out and had appetizers, soups, salads and steaks. Everything was excellent, and the steaks were very tender. Price and Value This restaurant is a high quality and fine dining establishment, and their prices will reflect that. Because of the excellent food, service and experience, I feel it is worth the money, but you must make your own value decision. Service Here, again, the Capital Grille shines and has outstanding service. They knew we were celebrating a birthday and had everything laid out for us in advance. Hostesses were great, service staff were excellent, and the pacing of when the food arrived was also really good. Atmosphere Excellent atmosphere also. You feel like you are dining in a high quality restaurant. Everything was clean and well maintained. This includes the bar, the dining area, and the restrooms. Conclusion and Recommendation Fantastic dining experience for any and all occasions. I highly recommend going and we will be dining with the Capital Grille again.
