From the moment I stepped foot into Capital Grille, I was welcomed by a lovely hostess who greeted me by name and made me feel at home. My friend and I always ask to be seated at Rebecca's station. She is professional, knowledgeable about the specials, and makes us feel appreciated. The food is excellent as always that is why we dine at Capital Grille several times throughout the year. It is truly a treat and a gastronomic delight.

It was my husband and mine first dining experience at this restaurant. Staff was extremely kind and on point, especially our server Brian! The food was off the charts delicious; fresh ingredients, balanced and unique flavors that was surprisingly familiar to me from an amazing restaurant in Bellevue that we previously frequented (closed years ago)…to my delight, we learned from the extremely personable General Manager Angie, that the owner of this restaurant had previously worked at that Bellevue location and had a business dealing with that owner as well. We also thoroughly enjoyed the gigantic meatball appetizer, the perfect bread (crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) served with a tasty infused dipping oil, the house salad (one of the best that I have ever had and the dressing was extremely reminiscent of that restaurant in Bellevue), and the Canestri bolognese entree was just incredible (a very generous portion)!! In addition, this restaurant (been at the previous restaurant a few times called The Classroom) is beautifully charming!! My husband and I look forward to returning soon to enjoy another delicious meal…my goal over the coming year, will be to have tried everything on the menu!!
