    First, the staff was AMAZING! We were celebrating our anniversary and went at lunchtime and everyone was great! The food quality, however, was not great he usual exceptional quality I expect at Capital Grille. My husband’s bone-in rib eye lacked any seasoning at all. He has a pretty bland pallet and it’s the first time he’s ever had to add salt to a steak. My roasted chicken texture was rubbery. The veggies,potatoes, and sauce were great, but I definitely regretted my choice of the chicken. The tomato bisque was hands down the best thing either of us ate. I am hoping this was an aberration because I normally love Capital Grille.

    We had a reservation in the bar area. We enjoy the bar area, but think the bar top tables are a bit too small. We had a lovely time and the service is superb.

    I can't eat too much, and they can accommodate me with appetizers and sharing salads with my husband. He ordered the filet and lobster, which was perfectly cooked. The only suggestion I have would be the addition of hot butter in the bottom of the serving bowl.
