   Wonderful evening. Perfect place for a celebratory dinner. Love the tenderloin with poached lobster. Seared tenderloin was perfect. Only need for improvement: lobster appeared smaller than on the past.

   My husband and I are longtime customers. We received an unpleasant surprise today when we arrived to discover that corporate decided to charge $10 for their formerly free valet parking. That set the tone for some irritation versus having a pleasant meal. Also, we decided as a result that we were not going to visit 2 more times within the next month as we had planned to sample other burgers on their menu. Capital Grille charges a pretty exorbitant amount for food as it is, and they don't need an additional $10 parking fee out of their attendees. Also, my husband ordered a burger that was not as advertised. It did not have sauce on it and they put the wrong kind of cheese on it. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

   Our service was a little slow. We had to ask to place our order, but we were in a hurry so it was OK. It was just odd. The server was very nice. Just kind of slow. The food was outstanding as always.

   Waiter was great! Food was just ok for the price. Steak was dry. Way too expensive for the quality.

   The Wagyu and Wine Event was a phenomenal date night! My husband and I decided to go for a nice quiet Saturday dinner and it did not disappoint. The burger was large and juicy, while the wine pairings was a wonderful and savory addition. For $35 each, definitely worth a trip to Capital Grille!

   Dinner at the Capital Grille was amazing, as always. The warm ambiance and elegant decor created a relaxing atmosphere. We started with delicious crab cakes, followed by a perfectly cooked filet mignon and creamy mashed potatoes. The attentive staff ensured we had everything we needed, enhancing our experience. For dessert, we indulged in a rich chocolate cake, which was a perfect ending to the meal. As we left, I felt completely satisfied and grateful, already looking forward to our next visit.

   Nice atmosphere in the Hartford location, our server was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. Food was very good.

    From start to finish, The Capital Grille delivered an exceptional dining experience—not just for us, but for our 7-year-old daughter as well. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff, from the hostesses to the manager to our waiter, made her feel like a VIP, rolling out the red carpet in a way that truly exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable, with every staff member going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. They treated our daughter with such warmth and attention, making her feel just as important as any other guest. It’s rare to find a fine dining restaurant that caters so well to families, and The Capital Grille absolutely nailed it. On top of that, the food was outstanding, as always. Perfectly cooked steaks, delicious sides, and a top-notch wine selection made for an incredible meal. But what stood out the most was the hospitality—it’s one thing to have great food, but when it’s paired with this level of service, it takes the experience to another level. We can’t recommend The Capital Grille enough and will absolutely be back. A big thank you to the entire team for making the night so special!
