| - I have been to Captial Grille quite a few times. This time we went for my brother's birthday. I was disappointed when he chose Capital Grille over City Hall, but whatever.
First, I will say that hostesses are very friendly. I do like when you go for a birthday they decorate the table and give the birthday person a nice card. For what it is worth, it is a nice addition.
My complaint is more with the waiter. The waiter comes over and the first thing he asked is what can he get us to drink. Well, no one wanted any alcohol, so we order pellegrino and diet coke. Well that was enough for the waiter to change his attitude and start being rude. I have noticed this is a regular response by waiters at more expensive restaurants. It is like what the heck do they care.
Next, the people were with are not big fish or shell fish eaters, so none of the appetizers were going to work for the table, which is fine because we are there for the steak.
We order salads and our steaks. Well maybe times have changed, but the salads were small. I swear they use to be big enough to share, not anymore.
When we went to order the sides, again the waiter gave me a WTF look. They have lobster mac and cheese. Last time we were at Capitol Grille, they very happily served the lobster on the side. Well this time, again there were people in the party that wanted mac and cheese but not fans of lobster, so I ask to have it seperated. He was liked appalled that I would ask such a thing. Again what does it matter to him.
Everyone enjoyed their steaks. Good quality, but I believe a little over priced.
Also, I just have to say what RECESSION?? THis place was packed and at $45 a pop for a steak, come on!
