This experience made our anniversary so special this year! The food and drinks are phenomenal and definitely worth the price. Our server was so sweet and even gave my husband a rose to give me as a surprise!

Located in beautiful downtown Dallas Fort Worth, across the street from the convention center. Stopped by for a quick meal, before traveling back to San Francisco after a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament. Upscale, fine dining restaurant with impressive wine cellar, great bar. For my meal, I selected the shellfish platter: whole, shelled main lobster, raw oysters, U-15 shrimp cocktail. Served with spicy cocktail sauce, wine vinaigrette dipping sauce. Delicious, fresh, and fairy inexpensive $65! I highly recommend their clam chowder, creamy, and flavorful! By the way, one of the best selection of fresh breads, which are complimentary!

Me and Hubby went to The Capital Grille in main st Fort Worth on Sunday, yesterday. We celebrated our anniversary there! The food was great and the service also. Thanks to our waitress, Crystal, she's very helpful, it was our first time there.

My students and I were dining in the private dining room. And only because I am a Chef I know that my critique would not be taken to heart but approved upon. Lone Star Etiquette School gave our young students a wonderful introduction to the American and Continental dining style. With a backdrop being at the Capital grille private dining room. I have no complaints every twist and turn was on par with the expectation I've come to know of the Capital grille. The head waiter was attentive to detail to the very end. He even had to make some training adjustments with the other waiters. And I'm sure that has already been addressed. The salad course was oddly over abundant almost spilling over the plate. Needless to say it was a salad for at least two people. I took delivery to split the salad and adjust the presentation. I would probably say scale back on the salad course portion size wise. But the composition of the salad was fresh and everything was crispy, the vinaigrette was flavorful and decadent. The flourless chocolate cake did not disappoint so no complaints there overall this was a great experience for our students. The private dining room was a perfect backdrop to such an intimate event.

Everything is perfect—service and atmosphere are truly top-notch. However, while the steak is good, it does lack a bit of flavor. On the other hand, the crab cake is absolutely excellent. Honestly, I'd return just for the crab cake alone!

A Memorable Anniversary Dinner at Capital Grille My spouse and I recently celebrated our anniversary with an unforgettable dinner at Capital Grille. Upon making our reservation, we informed the staff of the occasion. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated at an intimate table for two, adorned with soft lighting and a subtle glow from a dim lamp, creating a truly romantic ambiance. Throughout the evening, every employee we encountered extended heartfelt congratulations on our anniversary, a gesture that was deeply appreciated. Our waiter, Peter, was exceptional in every regard. He provided insightful recommendations for both food and drink, engaged in pleasant conversation, and even thoughtfully folded our napkins during our brief absences. The culinary delights were equally impressive. We savored delectable crab and lobster cakes and a refreshing cherry with bacon appetizer. For our main course, we shared a magnificent 22 oz T-bone ribeye, accompanied by their signature lobster mac and cheese. The chef graciously prepared individual plates, ensuring an effortless and enjoyable dining experience. The steak and lobster mac and cheese were both exquisite. Peter's attentive service continued throughout the meal, as he proactively offered to package any remaining food for us to enjoy later. To further enhance our celebration, the restaurant presented us with a delightful dessert platter featuring their renowned creme brulee and strawberry cheesecake. The beverage selections were equally impressive, with highlights including the Mango Royale, 2021 Emmolo Merlot, Black Tie Margarita, and a pair of Stoli Dolis, all demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to exceptional quality. I subsequently shared my enthusiastic feedback with the manager, highlighting the extraordinary service and unparalleled dining experience. In comparing the evening to a previous five-star dining experience at The Broadmoor in Colorado, the manager expressed familiarity with the renowned resort. I conveyed that Capital Grille surpassed even The Broadmoor in terms of its romantic ambiance. In conclusion, I can unequivocally state that I have never experienced such exceptional service as I did that evening at Capital Grille.

I treated myself for dinner the day after the election and the best part of my experience at Capital Grille was my Waiter Brandt. He was extremely courteous and took very good care of me. I really appreciated his kindness that evening because little did he know I needed that. Thank you Brandt😊 The food was ok. I personally like Eddie V’s better.

We spent a wonderful night, one more than the beautiful city of Fort Worth Downtown . I knew the night would be good, but the truth is that the staff gets 10 stars for service and serving the table, I really congratulate them. Everything was delicious, and the detail of the wet towels was another success, it's a shame we didn't expect it I didn't take a video so much attention but the truth is that the staff in general is excellently polite when talking about the restaurant area.. we were there from 8pm at night I think after 11 pm.. thank you for everything, my family and I really enjoyed the place.
