| - Impeccable service but mediocre food. We have been here a handful of times in the past for lunch, but we were disappointed last time and this time again. We like the comfy booth seating and large windows facing the Strip. The service is friendly, accommodating, and attentive. Unfortunately the food does not match up.
Appetizer: the only good dish we had today was the fried calamari with peppers though it was a bit oily.
Soup: French onion soup looked appetizing, but the soup and onions were way too salty.
Lunch entrees: Salmon and mango salad with champagne vinegrette had potential, but the salmon was dry on the sides and lacked flavor. The mangos were hard and sour. Previous Yelper had voiced disappointment with this dish too.
Chilean Seabass was so-so and a tad dry, but the mushrooms were unbearably salty in the soy sauce. Palazzo's SushiSamba has way better moist Chilean sea bass.
Lobster and crab cake burger is supposed to be a top seller, but the crab cake had too much flour. The lobster also was dry. The housemade salt and vinegar chips were good.
Side: lobster mac n' cheese was a disappointment as the lobsters did not taste fresh. The lobster was very dry and far from succulent. I often order this dish at various restaurant, and this was one of the worse ones since the lobster was bad. The mac n'cheese were good though. If you like lobster, go to Top of the World at the Stratosphere for fresh succulent Canadian lobster.
Dessert: they were very kind and offered us a dessert duo of chocolate cake and cheesecake. We were hoping the dessert would be better, but unfortunately, the best part about dessert were the fresh berries that came with it. There is a fresh berries dessert on the menu too. I would recommend that.
Overall, the service is great, but the food was disappointing. With so many delicious culinary delights to choose from in Vegas, Capital Grille does not stand the heat. It needs to improve it's quality and taste of food. I have never been for dinner, but lunch was a regrettable experience.
