This is one of my favorite restaurants. My husband and I frequented this place 1-2x a week and often ate at the bar. Ask for Paul the bartender-he is very competent, but also entertaining. He treated us very well, and always remembers your name.
I am a fan of the food. It is quality. I especially like the lobster mac and cheese. Despite its priceness, it is worth it. I am from Boston, and have been to Maine many times, so you can't expect to get cheap lobster in Charlotte, NC. The steaks are good-to be expected, but I was surprised at how delicious the cheeseburger was. I am a big cheeseburger fanatic and the meat is very supple and quality. The added sauces you can dip or put on the burger are a huge bonus.
The capital grille is one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte.
