My fiancé and myself recently went for Valentine’s Day for our first time eating here and let’s just say everything was phenomenal. Our server’s name name was Max and he was truly incredible and made us truly feel loved and welcomed at this beautiful steakhouse! The steaks were so melt in your mouth it was unbelievable and the calamari was unreal,plus Max went above and beyond and gave us some complimentary champagne and a dessert platter that was out of this world! We will definitely be dining here again and can’t wait for it!

First time dining at this establishment, my wife took me there for my birthday and I was impressed! The place was spotless clean, classy, the atmosphere was great for quiet conversations and the service was impeccable. Amado was stellar, we ended up sampling from more dishes than we ordered, all on the house. The suggested Salmon dish was delicious, and so was the Seared Scallops. Will definattely be back for more, who knows, next time will try their steaks and update the review.

My wife and I came to the Capitol Grille for our second anniversary and I must say the whole experience was world class. Our server Jesse was amazing; he had great recommendations, was polite and very attentive. They go above and beyond to make your day special; we got to taste a special side that hasn’t been added to the menu yet as well as adding extra little touches like a rose, card, and celebratory ginger ale (we don’t drink) to end the night. I highly recommend coming here to celebrate any special events! We will be back!

I had Capital Grille on my list to visit for my born day celebration. They also have complimentary valet services. I made my reservation and they call you to confirm which is a very efficient process. The concierge opened the door for me, what a gentleman. I arrived around 5:15 and was seated within 5 minutes. They had a beautiful table decorated with born day confetti and a card. I was highly impressed by their hospitality.
My host Sam was very attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I will ask for Sam upon my return. I ordered the Pan-fried Calamari with hot cherry peppers. Oh my goodness it was scrumptious. The calamari was fried perfectly with a slight crunch. The peppers were marinated into the calamari and gave me a boost of spice! The Caesar Salad Bites were delicious. The lettuce was drenched in Caesar dressing and placed on a piece of toasted brioche. I bit into it and fell in love! The dressing mixed with the softness of the brioche was perfection. The Cast Iron Garlic Shrimp gave me chills. The shrimps were a good size and not too much garlic, which is good for me. The ciabatta toast and grape tomatoes were a delicious addition to the shrimp. The Noble Paloma made me feel like I was in euphoria. I had 3 and each time it tasted better than the last. Kudos to the mixologist!
Thanks again Sam and the Capital Grille team for an amazing experience! I highly recommend visiting and making reservations.

Capital Grille is a perfect place for date night or to celebrate special occasions. We’ve frequented Capital Grille in Dallas for years and we’re so happy to have one closer to home.
For starters we enjoyed the caviar and caramelized onion dip. My wife loved the sliced filet minion with onions, mushrooms and figs. For me it was the 10oz filet minion and it was delicious. For our sides we selected the lobster mac and cheese and the au gratin potatoes, both delicious.
Everything was delicious and the serving size plentiful. We ended up taking half the food home.

From start to finish, our experience at The Capital Grille was fantastic. The complimentary valet attendant set the tone—friendly, professional, and even opened the door for us as we entered. Once inside, the restaurant was busy and seating was backed up a bit; we arrived 10 minutes early and still waited an additional 20 minutes. However, it wasn’t too bad, and we were seated in a private corner booth that was perfect for date night.
Our server, Brad, was exceptional—warm, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on. We started with cocktails (the Blackberry Bourbon Sidecar and a mocktail version), which were both excellent.
The pan-fried calamari with hot cherry peppers was a highlight—crispy, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. For sides, we tried the parmesan truffle fries (amazing) and the soy-glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon, which were flavorful but a bit on the tougher side.
For mains, the 10oz filet mignon (cooked perfectly medium) with three pan-seared shrimp was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the 14oz dry-aged NY strip was one of the best steaks I’ve had in years—seared, seasoned, and cooked to perfection.
Brad’s service alone would have made us want to come back, but paired with food this good, The Capital Grille is a definite return spot for us. The only minor downsides were the cramped waiting area and the fact that the dress code doesn’t seem to be enforced (several guests in shorts, sandals, and t-shirts). That said, it didn’t take away from an otherwise outstanding dining experience.

The Capital Grille is located near Fiesta Texas, just off I-10. Getting there was easy for us, but we were able to take access roads the entire way. It may be a hassle for those coming from the south, though.
We had reservations for 1345 since we were both off for Veterans Day. For some reason, when we checked in at the hostess/host booth, we were left standing there for 5 minutes. There was no reason given, the place was barely filled ,and there were no other patrons waiting to be seated. With two hostesses standing at the front, we gave each other a side-eye that said, “Do we really want to eat here?” We were finally led to a booth on the fringe of the dining room.
If you’ve been to one Capital Grille, you pretty much know what this one looks like. Typical steakhouse ambiance, except not as dark as it usually is during dinner service.
Our server arrived about 5 minutes after we were seated, presented our menus, and took our water preference and cocktail orders. We both ordered cocktails from their menu and also requested the pan-fried calamari and a Caesar salad to split. The calamari had a delicate, crispy exterior and was perfectly tender. It has a mild, tangy spice from banana and/or cherry peppers and is absolutely worth the visit. I would return just for that dish. The Caesar salad came on two plates and had a dressing that was thinner and more lemony than I’m used to. It was a sparse salad of romaine leaves that had sat too long in the acidic dressing, so it was beginning to wilt by the time we ate it. I’d skip that next time.
About 10 minutes after we ordered, our server brought our appetizers and took our entree order.
I ordered the steak frites lunch plate, which came with your choice of a soup or salad. I selected the New England Clam Chowder. I requested a medium-rare plus, specifying that I prefer it closer to medium-rare if need be. My husband ordered the bone-in NY strip cooked medium-rare.
We finished our appetizers and noted that we still hadn’t received our cocktails. I asked about them, and he told me they were just about ready. He returned a few moments later with the cocktails. The flow of service was disjointed throughout the meal because we were offered “bread” after receiving (and sending back one of) our entrees. The “bread” was a type of lavash, not a slices of a loaf. He mentioned that the other bread they served wasn’t finished baking. We told him we were fine and passed on it. My clam chowder was run-of-the-mill and didn’t taste like it was made in house.
My steak was overcooked, almost well done, so I asked him to take it back. He badgered me about keeping the fries to “snack on” while I waited, repeatedly asking if I was sure and how he insisted on my keeping the fries while he replaced the steak. I told him firmly each time that I would like to enjoy a complete entree and not “snack” on anything. He finally respected what I was telling him and returned the plate. The exec chef came out and made a big to-do about presenting me a properly cooked replacement steak, which I thought was a bit much.
The final result wasn’t seared properly, but was seasoned well and cooked to the proper temperature. By that time, however, my husband had finished his steak (after I told him to eat it before it got cold), and the whole hassle of returning it made me lose my appetite. I took it home and ate it for lunch the next day.
We spoke with the GM, who sympathized with our complaints and welcomed our compliments. Later, he would email us to apologize again and extend an invitation to give them another opportunity. We will, but I hope we have a more streamlined, courteous experience than this one.

Date night at the new Capital Grille in the La Cantera area. The restaurant was busy but we were seated at our reservation time. The service, food, and drinks were all fantastic during our visit. My husband’s ribeye was cooked perfectly, and we typically don’t have leftovers but did tonight with a lot of food including the complimentary bread basket. Reservations recommended.

The service here was fire! The food is amazing! The aged Ribeye is delicious! Not 1 complaint! Try the pineapple Vodka at the bar is dangerously amazing. Must visit! Get a pear salad, crab cocktail and the French onion! And yes, also get the bread because it taste amazing and the salted butter is also delicious. The Capital Grille has been in business for over 120 years and it shows.

Enjoyed our first visit to our local Capital Grille! We’ve been to several in other locations, starting with DC, of course. Alexander took great care of us! Definitely try the squash bisque, it was amazing. We also appreciated Daniel’s attention to detail at tables and the rose he made from my napkin when I left the table! 🙂
