    I think the lightning can be a little more brighter in there. I also think the sides they can have more of an option maybe more vegetables and like a rice pilaf.

    Lovely evening, delicious food, overpriced (like all Atlas restaurants), but that was something we knew ahead of time! We were willing to spurge. BUT the live musician (a guy with his acoustic guitar) was truly terrible. Too loud, to start with, but worse, he could not sing!! His guitar work was quite competent and if he’d left it there, we could hav Randle’s the volume. But his voice is unpleasant and he managed to make every song (blues, rock, jazz, etc) sound exactly the same. It was painful to hear some favorites distorted. We were relieved when he took a break and they put on perfectly pleasant recorded background music at a reasonable volume.

    My family and I really enjoyed our dining experience. The ambiance was beautiful, our waiter Rashid was awesome and no overcrowding. Before the pandemic, we made coming here a Christmas tradition and this is by far the best year. Previous years (before the pandemic) it was very crowded and the food was just ok. But this year no over crowding and the food was excellent. Thank you for making our first time back since the pandemic a great one to remember. Happy holidays to you all!

    I went to Bygone for my birthday and I loved it. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken breast, mac and cheese, puree mash potatoes, & the Bygone Buck for a drink ( Moscow mule ). Everything was 10/10 and our waiter was amazing. His drink and menu recommendations were spot on. I believe his name was KC ( not 100% sure ). The restaurant is also BEAUTIFUL and amazing for pictures. I will be back for sure ❤️.

    The Capital Grille is always a nice high end experience. The wait staff is very experienced and always polite and professional. Our appetizers, calamari and barrata were delicious. The basket of bread is always amazing. All four of my family members ordered different steak dinners. The were seasoned well and cooked nicely. We had one small issue with my steak and they corrected it immediately. The creamed corn and mashed potatoes we ordered were amazing. We love the atmosphere, and the noise level is restaurant appropriate allowing for pleasant dinner conversation. Even with it being a busy holiday evening, The Capital Grille nailed it as usual! We will always return.
