Our experience was fantastic! It would not be often that we would get to dine at the Capital Grille, so the evening was very special. We were greeted warmly by the hostess at the front desk, and walked to our arch shaped booth in the corner, which was perfect! Daniel, our waiter was very attentive, informative, and engaging. He was very knowledgeable on the wine selections, as well as the specials. He has great sense of humor, and did not rush our experience. We felt very much at home— a very enjoyable night! We will request Daniel for our next visit. The food was delicious! Just enough, not leaving there feeling like a stuffed whale. I do love the family-style sides. Desserts were delicious— flourless, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée!

Our party of 4 visited Vidalia the evening of December 28, 2024. We were promptly seated and our wine bottles were opened. A hot basket of garlic bread was promptly brought out to our table. Our waiter was Joe, who was extremely attentive and helpful with the regular menu and specials for the evening. Everyone's entrees were outstanding, which honestly was expected as we have dined at Vidalia many times in the past. Vidalia has great food and outstanding service. The fact that its BYOB makes it even better. We were so full after dinner we had not room for dessert. Next time for sure. In summary, we had a wonderful time at Vidalia last evening and look forward to our next visit.
