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.

It was an exceptional overall experience. It was amazing not only restaurant was open, but they served special festive menu for Christmas Eve! The food was delicious, and manager himself made a Tableside Torched Apple Manhattan. I only feel the courses were rushed and there should have been sometime between each course to enjoy and savor dishes. Especially, dessert was brought while we had not finished the main course.

Landini is a fave of ours. The lower King Street location plus the old world ambience make it a charming experience. For the best bargain in Old Town go for lunch and order a $15 panini. Accompanied by a terrific side of potato salad plus an arugula salad - and preceded with bread and olive oil - you’ll leave neither hungry nor poor!
