   We enjoyed dinner in the car/lounge with my elderly father whose hearing is limited. It was a terrific suggestion by your seating host! The waiter and wait staff were--always are--exceptionally friendly, informative, and attentive. Thank you for always providing us such delicious and memorable meals!!

   We love Capital Grill but they are having difficulty during the holidays. Not sure if they are overbooking or what but they are keeping tons of people standing in the doorway (standing room only) more than 30-40 minutes behind reservation times. Not really how you expected your family Christmas Eve dinner to start. Service was great once seated. But it was a bit of a mess overall for a restaurant at this price point. Food was not as good as it normally is-- sides came out cold and Filet was overcooked. I think they were just overwhelmed.

   Tysons Capital Grille is not what it used to be. Food was cold and dry.(filet mignon) I had the filet mignon which was probably sitting in the kitchen too long waiting to be served. My friend had the lobster citrus salad. Both dishes looked quite simple, not festive, something to get at Longhorns. I have been dissiappointed the last 3 times for similar and different reasons, I will not go for a fourth. I have eaten in Bethesda, Sarasota, and Tysons and Tysons is managed like a diner. No service except laying the dishes on our table. Bread basket was pitiful, cold, stale rolls, awful, no pumpernickel bread. I explained we were celebrating our birthdays which was today! The table was not prepared for the festive occassion. A few sparkles haphazardly placed on the table. Looked sad. A waiter whose presentation verbally was barely comprehendable. Spoke too fast. The ambience was dreadul. Noisy, table exactly where I did not want it and overall a waste of time. We had other choices and next time I will make another choice. Nothing good to say about today! The manager has to pay attention and train his server staff and kitchen!

   I had a wonderful experience yesterday evening with a friend at the Capital Grill,in Tysons Corner. The food was excellent. The ingredients were of a high-quality and well prepared. My friend and I started with the calamari with cherry peppers. It was so good that I could easily find myself returning to the restaurant for that alone. The calamari was lightly fried and spiced with the most delicious peppers. The serving size was generous, but not oversized. The filet mignon was cooked just right and impressed us as also being of the highest quality. We also enjoyed very much the side dishes of potatoes, asparagus, and corn which were also carefully prepared and which complemented our filets perfectly. We skipped wine for this meal, but did enjoy their signature cocktails. Although I don’t usually order a restaurant signature drinks, as they are too often gimmicky and overpriced, these were just the opposite. I certainly intend to order them the next time I go to the restaurant. But as good as the food was, the experience was taken to the next level by the superb wait staff and their support team. We were extremely fortunate to be served by Jose G. who really set the bar for how to provide the very best restaurant,service. He was prompt, helpful, genial, and never overbearing. We had the feeling that he was nearby if we needed him for anything, but he was never in any way intrusive. José truly made it a wonderful dining experience for us. I could go on about the beautiful interior design, of the restaurant or how every employee that we interacted with was friendly and eager to be of assistance, but suffice to say this is a restaurant we look forward to returning to in the very near future.

   I recently dined at the Capital Grill Tysons and was thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding—prompt, attentive, and friendly. The food was amazing, with each dish showcasing high-quality ingredients and preparation. Although the atmosphere was a bit loud, it added to the lively and welcoming environment. Overall, the restaurant offers excellent service, delectable food, and a vibrant dining experience that is not to be missed.

   Capital Grill is a favorite of mine and my lovely wife. The filet mignon and lamb chops were awesome as usual...the grilled asparagus is a personal favorite but the roasted brussell sprouts stole the show! The atmosphere was vibing and the restaurant was as comfortable as it could be. Our server was a class act Gentleman who demonstrated exceptional etiquette and style for the evening. He is an excellent liaison for Capital Grill.

   Cory was an excellent server! He is experienced and knowledgeable and very attentive! The host, James, is well experienced at the front door and makes you feel welcomed despite it being very busy on a Saturday night! I could tell the staff was overwhelmed with the amount of people but me & my date waited for our table for only a few minutes. Much faster than expected! My date and I felt that the staff was very attentive to our wants/needs. The only complaint that I can think of are some of the prices are too high but I understand that has to do with inflation.
