Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille. Open seven days a week, The Capital Grille is best known for our expertly prepared steaks, which are dry aged in house for 18 to 24 days and then hand-cut by our restaurant's on-premise butcher. The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

    The lobster tails were overcooked and super small. Our steaks were not well salted/seasoned. Overall was below the quality we expect.

    Excellent food and service. Very pricey. We can make great steaks at home too but always nice to be served. The kitchen and staff are amazing.

    Way too overpriced for what you receive. Service was slow. Scallops had absolutely no taste, although the risotto was tasty. Feels more like an Outback Steakhouse type restaurant with Ruth Chris pricing.

    My first experience at The Capital Grille was outstanding, and Shayla made it truly unforgettable! As the bartender, she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, crafting the perfect wine pairing and offering great recommendations. Her warm and professional service elevated the entire experience. I’ll definitely be back, highly recommend, especially if Shayla is behind the bar!

    What a wonderful experience! My family was there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had a great time! Our server Emily which we have had before was as charming as ever and took care of our every need. The meal was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely visit again.

    Had a fantastic dining experience at Capital Grille! The food was outstanding, and our server was attentive and professional throughout the meal. The only downside was the 30-minute wait despite having a reservation, but once seated, everything was top-notch. Definitely worth the visit for the excellent service and delicious steaks!
