    My wife, son and I had lunch for there, to check it out for his graduation dinner in 4 weeks, with extended family. Service was outstanding and the food was very delicious. We had calamari, French onion soup, filets and salad with tenderloins. We also shared 2 side dishes; spinach dip and fries. My son had a cheesecake for dessert and he said it was really delicious.

    The Capital Grille is a classic steakhouse with an outstanding menu. The porterhouse steaks ordered where cooked just right. The bacon is a must as an appetizer along with the truffle fries. Our dining experience was a delight!
