The server was super nice. I was my birthday and I ate solo. They made my evening very special! The food was delicious, drinks were super good, and they even got me a rose. Both managers came by to check in and the hostess and the trainee were super helpful as well and made small talk. Everyone is super personable. I love this Capital Grille location

The food was great. The restaurant was pretty full for a Tuesday night, but that did not affect the quality of the food or service.
