    We had a fun time celebrating a family member's birthday at Capital Grille. We were lucky to have Ron as our server. He is great with recommendations and very attentive. A nice birthday desert was brought out for our son who was celebrating his 25th birthday. Ron brought out an unexpected desert sampler for the rest of us to share which was a very nice gesture. Can not wait to return.
