Thanksgiving dinner was excellent. We had the turkey dinner. The food came out hot, seasoned with flavors of Thanksgiving. Our server Heather was very nice and just a joy for the special occasion. I was also celebrating my birthday. Our steak came out a little late; it was cooked to perfection the way we ordered it. Heather gave us a slice of complimentary pumpkin cheesecake (delicious) since the steak came out late. She was very apologetic but it was very busy so we totally understood. Plus it’s Thanksgiving. She was serving us and not with her family with the most pleasant attitude. I highly recommend Capital Grille for any special occasion. The hostess stand staff can be a little more inviting. Overall great experience and dinner.

Our Thanksgiving experience at the Rockville Copper’s Hawk was absolutely exceptional! The holiday meal was both delicious and perfectly presented at our table. We enjoyed the holiday sangria as well as a bottle of CH Prosecco. My favorite part of the visit was the service provided at the bar - Matt was the bartender on duty all day. He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided outstanding customer service. I highly recommend dining here, especially for a special occasion or holiday.
