- BBenVIPTampa / Central Florida West •73 reviews5.0Dined on May 1, 2025I love going to TCG for lunch. I can get in and out in less than an hour (if I need to) and have a great meal. No other white table cloth restaurant in CR has that level of service or quality of food and presentation. I loved the salmon today- asked for it to be served with asparagus and cooked with just olive oil, salt and pepper. Alfredo was great and provided a great level of service, attention- and when he found out I had a meeting to run to, he told the other staff and every one of them stepped in to make sure we received our food, drinks, and check to get out as quickly as possible.More infoThe Capital Grille - San JoséPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Escazu•4.8
