For some strange reason, my mom wanted steak for her birthday dinner, and the good kind, not the kind I can get at Taco Bell for $2.99.
So off to The Capital Grille we went.
And we weren't disappointed... by the food at least. The food was blissful. From the perfectly cooked filet mignons, to the incredibly fresh shrimp cocktail, to the creamy and utterly delicious mashed potatoes with the right amount of lumpiness... it was 5* worthy.
However, the service did disappoint. Our server, an older gent who still had spring in his step, was kept so busy by his other tables at different corners of the restaurant, left us neglected for more than 25 minutes between service of the appetizers and checking in to see if we had finished. We had, and we'd finished our waters and sodas as well.
To the chefs at The Capital Grille... well done! To the waitstaff... sigh... just... sigh.
