I had always liked this place, but something was amiss this time around. First of all the service was absolutely horrible. Considering our bill was almost $300.00 for 2 people, you would think the service and food would be good. The waiter, seemingly disappeared during our dinner and I do not believe we saw him more than the initial order and perhaps the bill. Even at that, we had to track him down to get the bill. We left 3/4 of the food on our plates, so obviously it was not good. However, he did not ask us why or inquire about the food. Very bad service overall.
The food. My husband's was mediocre as he had described it. Mine was horrible. I ordered fish, although I can not recall which type. The meal was so salty I could barely eat it. Not simply from the fish itself, although it was very "fishy" but the preparation tasted like 90% salt. Really horrible. I hate to say it, but it reminded me of going to Olive Garden where they pour salt all over your food to mask the lack of quality. This perhaps was even worse than Olive Garden with a steep bill at the end. Horrible. Even their infamous Pineapple Martini was a bust this time. I don't don't what is going on over there but I will NEVER return. Too many other great restaurants to visit to waste my time on Capital Grille.
