  • I waited to write this review so that I could gather myself a little bit. I didn't want my annoyance to modify my review. We stopped in here about two weeks ago, my family had gone across town for family holiday pictures. As we were driving back home I commented to my wife how good our kids were and how sharp they looked. I had never been to Capital Grille and I figured this was a prime opportunity as at the moment we looked like the Cleavers. I called and they had plenty of openings but I put in a reservation for four in just to be safe. We arrived and the hostesses were all very pleasant. They seated us at a table for eight essentially where the wait staff had the highest amount of traffic. I thought it was a little odd as the place was about forty percent capacity. It appeared to me that most of the tables offered a little more privacy and honestly I felt a little on display. The waiter arrived and took our drink order, I also asked for an order of the shrimp cocktail. The drinks came out promptly. The young man who brought bread and kept our water glasses full was very courteous and attentive. The shrimp cocktail came out in about twenty minutes. Usually at a restaurant at this price point you get three or four rather large shrimp. These were four literal "shrimp". This is where things started to go sideways. When the waiter brought out the shrimp cocktail I asked the waiter for another cocktail and told him we were ready to order. He said he would be right back. I am fairly certain he didn't go on break because I could see him occasionally attending to other tables. Twenty minutes after that and having had our water glasses filled three times I asked the young man to track down our waiter and let him know we would like to order. We have now been at the restaurant for about forty to forty five minutes. Our waiter got within proximity to our table where I felt I could use an appropriate volume to speak to him without yelling. I said "excuse me sir, we would like to order". To which he held up one finger and continued to walk away. You know you've reached a proverbial bridge in the evening where after having been somewhere for an hour you still haven't ordered. If only I had been given that second cocktail I probably would have been a little less agitated. Alas it was not to be. I got up from my seat and found another waiter and requested my check. The second waiter sent our waiter to my table and I am not making this up, he looked me dead in the eyes and asked me "would you like to order." I think my face must've made something similar to a great white's during shark week because I am fairly certain my eyes rolled into the back of my head. I heard my wife grab our kids and head for the car. I looked him dead in the face and told him, "yes I was about forty five minutes ago, at this point I just want to pay my check and get out of there." He again looked me dead in the eyes and asked me "are you serious?" in the most condescending voice he could muster. I have a feeling the food here is very good to excellent but I will never know and it will always be one of the greatest culinary mysteries of my life.
