This was by far the best fine dining experience we've ever had. We are foodies and picky as they come. However, the location, ambiance, customer service, and food quality was impeccable. The prices are a bit steep but well worth it. We really appreciated how they enforced masks and social distancing for the safety of everyone. The chef even honored our anniversary with a personalized dessert surprise. We will definitely be back for another visit very soon.

Excellent interior, service and food. Very friendly.

We had dinner with another couple Saturday evening. Noticed a lot of activity at what is to us a new young adults bar called Stir. Was a little distracting going in, way worse coming out. Crowds of kids and young adults jammed the entry, blocked the valets, somewhat loud and unruly.

So we probably won't return on a Saturday evening, which with our calendar means we won't return. Too bad it got screwed up. Maybe CG will moved somewhere more subdued.

Very easy to use online menu to order curbside pickup. Place to add comments and select how to prepare steak etc. Got it home. Cooked exactly as I ordered and was A+. Had ordered about 3pm; was told pickup 5pm(restaurant opening time); slight delay. Suggest call 30 minutes ahead to confirm pickup time. Area of pickup can be very busy. Looked like there was table dining outdoors. Will try that next time. Long time patron of Capital Grille and always have great service and great meal. If you want bread, be sure to add that to the notes in your order.

We were supposed to go there for a birthday celebration before the coronavirus happened, and they closed. Did notice they were doing a Easter dinner -so we signed up. We got the beef tenderloin, asparagus, mashed potatos, fancy apple tart, and rolls. Also got a side of the lobster mac. It was fantastic- even the rolls were delicious, and I am not a bread person as a rule. They included butter, and horseradish sauce. We had a pickup time of 4:00 P - the day before; and exactly at 4:00 they brough the food to our car. We followed the reheating directions provided and everything was perfect. Looking forward to when they reopen- excellent experience!

Good steakhouses are aplenty. Excellent ones are a few. This was quite good bordering on excellent.

Being of the old New York City steakhouse patron, my demands are quite high. So, from that I judge accordingly.

I really like the atmoshpere. It's "woody" and "club-like" and should almost have an accompanying cigar and cognac lounge for afterwards. Service was excellent, personal and attentive. Never was it intrusive, but it was warm and friendly-professional to a T.

Steaks were solid. Excellently prepared and cooked. I had the New York Strip au Poivere and it was quite good done Medium. Others had the Ribeye, one had the Lamb, and one other had the Waygu. All great.

For sides we had the Wild Wild Mushrooms, Potato, Spinach and Brussels Sprouts. I was a bit dissapointed in the "Wild" Mushroom side as I wanted to see a better mix of truly "Wild" mushrooms. Instead I think it was more pedestrian.

Appetizers were great! We got the "seafood tower" with lobster and oysters and shrimp. Oysters were great (Connecticut Bluepoint) and everything was quite fresh.

I had a French Onion Soup in between and was dissapointed. It was no bigger than a teacup and had average flavor, which should have been richer and deeper. I would choose different the next time.

Desserts were spot on. The Cheesecake is outstanding.

All in all I was happy and would definately go back again. In fact, we plan to.
