    We always enjoy dining at The Capital Grille, and Abduhl is a big reason we keep coming back! We’ve had the pleasure of having him as our server several times, and he always makes us feel like old friends. He even remembers how we like our steaks cooked—such a thoughtful touch that makes each visit feel personal. The food is excellent, but his warmth and attentive service make the experience truly exceptional. We always look forward to seeing him!

    We had our 15th wedding anniversary dinner there. This is also the place where we got engaged. We were welcomed warmly by the hosts. Our table was decorated and included a kind note from the Cap Grille team. We also got a personal welcome from the manger on duty. Brendha, our server was excellent. Danny checked on us throughout the night even though he wasn’t our server. Our experience ended with complementary dessert and bubbly. A+ evening!! Thank you!!

    Luncheon plates are wonderful. I got the salad and strip steak - cooked just right. My guest ordered a salad off the dinner menu and was happy with it. Service was professional, friendly, and efficient.

    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 delicious and the atmosphere was outstanding, but it was s-l-o-w. I ordered its Waygu-and-Wine special, and it took 45 minutes to get my burger. After we ate, there was another long wait to get the check.

    Sat outside in the courtyard last night for dinner and it was wonderful as usual. Heat lamps made it very comfortable and being outside. It was quiet, which is what we wanted. We had the waygu and wine which was a 10 and Heather our server was a 10 for charm and service as well.

    We last dined here about a year ago and found it expensive with food and service that had declined dramatically over the past few years. We thought we'd try it again recently, and after waiting 20 minutes despite having a reservation, we were seated at a table in a small room next to a kids' party (it felt like we crashing a private party). We asked to be reseated but were essentially told to take a hike, which we did. Too bad. It used to be a good restaurant.
