First experience, but not our last!! Our experience at Vincent’s Clam Bar was nothing short of AMAZING!! Even on a busy Saturday night, the service was top notch!! our waiter was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was OUTSTANDING with every dish cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, so we had plenty to take home. The watermelon martini was an absolute standout, and the Neapolitan dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. The lively atmosphere, incredible flavors, and impeccable service make this a spot we’re eager to revisit soon! Highly recommend it!

Dinner was delicious. The meatballs reminded me of meatballs that I had in Italy… All dishes we ordered were plentiful and there was enough to have again for a second meal. Only complaint I had was that our table was by the window and it was a bit chilly but we sucked it up and didn’t ask to be reseated elsewhere when tables started to open up. We will definitely return again. The pizza looked delicious too!!

This was our first experience at Capital Grille. The service was outstanding, the restaurant was lovely. My husband had the lamb “lollipops” which he raved about but the quality of my rib eye was just O.K. The sides, especially the potatoes au gratin were delicious. A little pricey all in all but for a holiday, they did a wonderful job. Merry Christmas!
