I like Capital Grille and living in Austin I hadn't been in like 3 years so I was staying over by Kierland and wanted a place that has great food and wouldn't mind my yappy puggle on their patio. We called CG to see if they allow dogs and they do. When we got there another person had their dog on the patio. The server (Sarah or Jennifer??? very nice, short blond hair) was very attentive and got us some water and also our dog water. I'm not the type that expects restaurants to do that for our dog, he's content to sit on the ground and have nothing, but when the restaurant and staff do make accommodations for our dog, we really really appreciate it. That being said, they're dog friendly...add a 6 star for that. The food, amazing like always, calamari was perfectly cooked and a lot of it. The server brought a sample of a pineapple vodka drink and I liked it so I went with one of those and then also wine. The porcini rubbed delmonico is the star of this place and it was AWESOME. Wife had lamb and was perfect. So, another perfect experience for us at Capital Grille. Good thing we're moving back to valley, so i can eat there more often.
