   My family and I were back for another birthday celebration. We requested a table with Kate, as we had absolutely superior service with her in January. She acknowledged us immediately and remembered so many details from our previous visit. She is a STAR! EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! Kate and Capital Grille lived up to our expectations. Another wonderful evening. Thank you, Kate & CG!

   This was our first time at this capital grill. It was wonderful. Because of my delay in getting a reservation we had to sit in the bar area. It was still a very nice spot and the combination of Service and food made it a great date night. We most certainly will return here in the future. I would also recommend asking for Guillermo to wait on you. He wwa outstanding.

   Everyone was extraordinarily attentive. They had a birthday card on the table for my wife along with decorative sparkles and small happy birthday glitter scattered around the table. We were given a complementary drinks to start the meal. Virtually every employee that passed the table wished my wife a happy birthday, which made us feel very special. Our server, Damon, was extremely knowledgeable and well skilled in presenting and discussing the various alternatives for wines and cocktails, not to mention the menu offerings. He was attentive, discreet, and the bottom line is that we could not ask for more from a server. He made it a wonderful birthday celebration for my wife and I. We will most certainly be asking for him on our next visit. We took the published dress code seriously, and were a bit surprised that many of the other diners were quite casual in their dress, albeit meeting the minimum requirements. This was our only disappointment, and certainly not enough to prevent us from looking forward to our return.

   Wait staff was very helpful in answering questions about food preparation, ingredients, and selections. Steaks were cooked exactly as ordered.

   You know your food will be delicious when going to Capital Grille; every bite of their food is fresh and flavorful. Our waiter, Kyle, and the lovely young lady who assisted in our table service, were outstanding and delightful! However, Newtown Capital Grille has a lot to improve upon when handling a busy Saturday night reservation. We made our reservation a month in advance and arrived 10 minutes early. We were told about a 10-15 minute wait. Acceptable, no worries. However, the 15 minutes became 30 and no one from the hostess staff came to acknowledge us and give us an update on our wait time. We had to go to them several times for updates. This is not how our experience has been at other Capital Grilles. At other Capital Grilles they will offer to take your coat, offer a cocktail, and make sure to keep you updated on wait time, not us having to keep going to ask. We were seated an hour later with no apology or acknowledgment for wait time. Capital Grill separates itself from other local restaurants as a fine-dining experience. In addition to their outstanding food and wait staff, it’s the little things in the front of the house that really make it a wonderful experience worth the $$$. Management should make sure they have the tools and support for the staff to work on these things. Understaffing maybe an issue, and if so, adjust those accepted reservations, much like a wonderfully successful Sushi restaurant in Newtown does when necessary.

    The service was exceptionally great last night. Our waiter Massimo is the best and we also appreciated the special attention we received from the manager and somalier. Our steaks were very good- just a bit dry but the sauces helped. We will return soon!
