The Capital Grille

07/26/2008 Posted by AdamBritt

We expect great things from The Capital Grille, and as always, we weren't dissapointed. From the greeting when we walked through the door throughout the evening we thouroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. We told the host it was our anniversary and we were treated to a card on the table, a personalized dessert, and fabulous service. Obviously the food was without compare as well. The Capital Grille is the benchmark against which we compare other restaurants and to date, none have even come close.

Pros: Everything. Great service, Fantastic Food.

Cons: I can't think of one.

Our party of four had a marvelous meal at The Capital Grille in Dallas. Exquisite setting, attentive service and fabulous food in surprisingly enormous portions. This was our first visit to The Capital Grille and it was everything we hoped it would be. It's our new favorite spot in Dallas for fine dining.

Pros: Beautiful, clubby dining room; attentive service; huge portions.

Cons: None!

Everything was great!!! (service, ambiance, food, value) recommend to all. i personally like Al Bernat's better, but this comes extremely close (in reference to steak).

Pros: ALL

Cons: none

We went to the Grille for the first time and were blown away by everything. From the complimentary valet parking to the great atmosphere to the tremendous service and last but not least the amazing food. We have a new standard for restaurants now. We had sirloin steaks, au gratin potatoes and a must have the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Best food I've ever eaten. If you want a comfortable eating environment (no jacket required, jeans ok) and real food without all the "fru-fru" hype of some pricey places, this is where you need to go. You will not be looking for your tiny food on a huge plate here. Generous portions were the standard. We will be back.

Go for lunch. Go for dinner. Just go. I like lunch myself, especially when I want to see and be seen and eat well. It reminds me of the power lunch spots of yore. The lobster salad is packed with fresh lobster meat, piled high on a crisp lettuce mix (I could lose the cucumber chunks, but that's just me). Evenings turn power lunch to power romance, with a sensational wine list and maybe the finest steaks to be found in Dallas. Will you pay too much? Of course. Will it be worth every penny. It absolutely will.

Pros: Underground parking, attentive service, sensational food

Cons: Can we squeeze any more people in at the doorway (seating can be a bit slow)

One of the best restaurants anywhere. We've never been disappointed on any visit. The food here is excellent, but the service may be even better than the food. Even at somewhat high menu prices (compared to other choices), overall, Capital Grille is a very good value.

Pros: Great food, service, ambiance and value

Cons: Valet parking can be slow at times - but I'm usualy in a good mood upon leaving, so it's not a real negative

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. The food is excellent, no matter what you try. The steaks are always prepared perfectly and the seafood is great. My favorite appetizer is the calamari, I havent found anything that even comes close to how good it is. The sides are large, so what you always want to do is order a few for everyone to share. The staff is incredibly friendly and it is the type of place that is going to get to know you by name and have your drink order before even aksing. It's also a great place if you just want to have drinks after the symphony or a basketball game. It can get a little loud during the week though, because its usually filled with business men having large group dinners. It is also very romantic and they are willing to fill any special request you might have (for instance, putting rose petals on the table for you) The wine list is amazing, the alcohol selection is vast. Parking is ok, but I would recommend using valet.

Saff very attentive, yet unobtrusive. Also, very easy going and had a great sense of humor. They somehow took the time to know all of our names, which surprised me! Great food! HAd a business dinner there on one occasion and would also recommend it for an easy going, yet top notch restaurant to take your clients!

Pros: The food and the staff!

Cons: none

After reading the great reviews about this restaurant and the rating of 9.9 who wouldnt want to come here? Waiter wasnt that bad but i had better at Pomppas bros. The food was not that great, i got the surf and turf. 10 oz lobster tail and 10 oz filet mignon. Steak was salty and not even tender. How can you call that a filet from a prestigious restaurant like this? The lobster tail was perfect thought. Very fresh and cooked perfectly. I was by myself and dinner cost 92 dollars without getting any drinks. If you guys want some good steaks, the best so far, is in brooklyn, NY. Peter Lugars. Their steaks are so good and tender that it just melts in your mouth.

Pros: Seafood was good

Cons: Steak was chewy and salty
