Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille. Open seven days a week, The Capital Grille is best known for our expertly prepared steaks, which are dry aged in house for 18 to 24 days and then hand-cut by our restaurant's on-premise butcher. The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

    The food and service were outstanding. Our server, Chris was very friendly and efficient. He always checked on us to make sure our 56th anniversary dinner was special. We’d definitely return 👍

    Not what it was when it first opened. poor service, wrong entree brought for one guest, so we all waited mto start eating- so our food got cold, rack of lamb ordered medium came out medium well, smallest scallops ever as if they had been sliced in half. After the mess up on the entree the server never came back to see how everything was until most everyone was done. Went to celebrate two birthdays, left without bothering to do coffee and dessert. Won’t be back anytime soon for certain.

    Love the Capital Grill. The food is always good. I am gluten-free and dairy-free. They can accommodate. We actually had bread. I did switch from my favorite ribeye to theb14 oz NY strip. I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Cooked perfectly at medium rare. The spinach was great. The beet salad was just ok. The vinegarette, lettuce, and pistachios- great. The beets lacked flavor, so I hope they change the recipe. All in all, it's still a 5-star experience. Our waiter, Jerry, was amazing. He picked a great wine for us.
