    Had a great family meal at The Capital Burger. Tim our server was really attentive and provided excellent service. The food was delicious, as you would expect from Capital. My kids stated this was one of the best burgers they have had. Drinks were well made as well. Can't go wrong here!

    This place is NOT family friendly. I made a reservation for 3, 2 adults and one toddler. Despite my reservation they seated us at a table for 2. We asked them if we could move and they VERY reluctantly did offer to move us, but not until after we had gotten food and drinks, at which point it was too much of a hassle to move all the way upstairs. The table next to us was two low tops put together. When the people next to us left, we asked if one of their tables could slide over to ours to give us room for all three people. They said they couldn't do that because the table was already reserved. They then proceeded to sit two people at the table for 4. Those people asked to be moved apparently, and then they sat a second party of 2 at that table. The whole thing made it seem like their policy is to not give tables for three to people with children in high chairs. I think if it was three adults they would have moved a table over no problem, but since it was "just" a child they wouldn't.

    Every year, my family plans a pre Christmas shopping trip beginning with lunch at Capital Burger. We have never been disappointed with the wonderful burgers and excellent service.

    Burgers are always very, very good and this was no exception. Though this time a lunch order for three burgers took 35-40 minutes from when we ordered in a half empty restaurant, soft drinks were flat (two attempts) and staff seemed pretty indifferent. It’s usually better.

    Great location but long wait times for the food. For a $26 burger it shouldn't be cold. Hard to find a server, nobody refilling the water glasses. Steak overcooked and cold. Not a great experience
