    We have visited all of the up scale restaurants in and around Cincy and found Capital Grill to be the best for: — Food quality and preparation are top shelf! — Friendly and efficient staff and service. — Clientele (99.9% of customers are considerate and dress according to the restaurant’s suggested guidelines, but there are those one-percenters who meant to do to McDonalds but the line was too long.) — Ambiance (Decor and very low noise level are perfect.) — Value (Good. Much better than the “big name” restaurants in and around Cincy. We got what we paid for.) Highly recommend Capital Grill!

    Only a light lunch. The lobster bisque was excellent but my crab cake sandwich lack sufficient flavor for my taste and the bun seemed a bit old. I would not order the crab cake again' Service (by Lindsey I think), was outstanding. I can't imagine how it could have been better,
