Celebrating 2 Wedding Anniversaries with long-time friends. Black Salt printed special menus recognizing our celebrations. Black Salt has a varied menu and is always our first choice for lunch or dinner. We enjoyed the Branzino, Crab Cakes, Hummus, Bruschetta and dessert. Rave reviews and highly recommend!

We were fortunate enough to have the legendary Wayne Anderson as our server last evening. While the experience and meal itself spoke for itself and the Capital Grille brand, Wayne was a perfect host and is a true master of his craft. Thank you, Wayne, for making our evening that much more special.

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.
