    ★★★★★ Outstanding Dining Experience at Capital Grille Our experience at Capital Grille was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated to top-tier service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening. The highlight of our meal was, without a doubt, the steaks. Cooked to absolute perfection, each bite was flavorful, tender, and expertly seasoned. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail were evident in every dish. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an outstanding meal, Capital Grille is the perfect choice. We will definitely be returning soon!

    Went for Valentine’s Day 2025, and they have really stepped up their game. My husband and I go after work quite often, and the last year or two it had seemed like it really went down hill. Last night was the best experience we’ve had at Bristol in quite some time. The staff was dressed nicely w suspenders and for the “Casablanca” theme- but honestly it wasn’t over done or too much and we thought it was a really nice touch. Maybe they should always dress this nice! The food was great and the music was perfect. Staff was on point as well. It was a total turnaround from previous visits and I hope they can keep it going!

    Valentine dinner was a great experience. The staff was very kind and attentive to us. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great. She had the fried chicken with skillet potatoes and gritz and I had the NY strip and asparagus. We would recommend and will be returning.
