We enjoyed our dinner at The Capital Grille as usual. It has not disappointed over several decades. We were only somewhat disappointed to see that a large percentage of the guests were very casually dressed. It reduces the feeling of being in a special place when you can't tell the difference between Clyde's or the Capital Grille. It is just a reality of our culture.

We had a 2:15 reservation on Christmas Day but weren’t seated until 3:00 PM. I didn’t mind, as I could see how busy they were. I have to commend the entire staff for their ability to stay calm and composed amidst the chaos of such a hectic day.

We go to Morton's as a special Christmas Eve dinner tradition. Our food and service did not disappoint!! Not only was the food delicious, we were treated do well. It is such a nice fine dining experience. What made the night complete, and the best, was our server. Our waiter, Severin, is AMAZING!!! We had him last year and requested to be sat at one of his tables this year, which the restaurant kindly honored our request! He is so personable and really gets to know his customers. He made several recommendations which were spot on. We cannot wait to go back!

Everything is excellent. They just need to lower music a little bit and play something more soothing (eg Soft Jazz, Bossa Nova), that constant loud drum beat can be annoying at times. No one likes that music they play. Other than that, everything was great. Reading worth it.
