| - Let's start with the pros: The host staff was great! Super accommodating to our party size changing, and our noisy baby. Without asking, one of the server assistants brought me out several extra napkins to help with my messy baby.
The cons: Our server (Ruben) however was clearly having an off day. The reasons I say this is clearly The Capital Grille has high service standards, and when it came to that aspect of our dining experience, we really felt it lacking. Considering our tab was over $500 and his gratuity was three-digits, he didn't seem very happy to be there. His demeanor was cold and at times bordering on rude. I will say however, he technically met our needs, asked us for what we needed/wanted, it was just an issue with his demeanor. Lastly, the food left a bit to be desired. Some of the dishes looked and tasted great, however one of our party had an over-cooked NY Strip, and plating was subpar. Dishes costing this much (regardless of being a part of a brunch deal), should have exquisite presentation.
Overall, we will be back because past experiences have been great, and food was great those times. The reason we did not say anything at the restaurant was because we were guests. I feel ashamed that our party host spent the amount that they did, considering this experience alone.
