This is our family's go-to favorite restaurant for special occasions, which is what we had this last visit, plus AZ Restaurant Week. Capital Grille's restaurant week menu was one of the best in the area. This restaurant is has great ambiance and the food is always exceptional. The front desk staff goes out of their way to make us feel welcome, as does the Managing Partner, Brian. My only observation over the past couple of years is that the service always starts out with a bang and then becomes rather average, which surprises me. All in all, it is very inconsistent. On our latest visit the restaurant was jammed due to restaurant week, but during the summer when there were not so many diners, the same impression regarding the service was true.
