    Nailed it on food and decor! Nice wine selection. Prices were a bit high but worth it. Owners were present at the host stand but not interacting with customers. My only complaint was we were seated next to the door. People were waiting to check in standing with the doors open! I was freezing. The host stand needs to be off to the side. We will be back.

    When we arrived we were told they could not honor the reservation. It was too busy and open table did not communicate well. Blake was actually a little rude. It’s the holiday and I try to be accepting, but not to paying customers. She never even said she was sorry. I have made reservations before never had an issue. Luckily 2 seats at the bar opened and we dined. Capital Grille at the bar is always good. Bartender is amazing Jason!
