This is a restaurant that always serves us well--food standards are amazing as are the cocktails (stoli doli is the best!). You can eat in the bar if you can't get into the main restaurant. I usually have the steamed lobster and they take it all out of the shell so it's so easy to enjoy. I am always so... More

I went to the Capital Grill with my son. We were celebrating my birthday. Prompt valet, very courteous host(s) / wait staff. The food was excellent. I suggest the "Mac and Lobster" as a dish which is different and very tasty. If you are a crab cake lover you may find them a bit heavy on the crust, but full... More

Excellent service, excellent food and prices to match. Its a standard, fine dining experience worth it if that is what you are looking for.

Went in for a super supper, as repeated customers of this brand, that did end up very well as expected with impressive crab cakes/oysters, unique outstanding steak(too salty with sauce) / salmon main courses. However, higher price tags will not secure loyal customers (baby boomers?, how about Gen Y?) frequent visits. Classic reno , especially lighting (big menu/print didn't help... More

I love the Capital Grill. It is an expensive place to eat, but they do fine dining well. If you want to stop in before a show in the area but don’t have a reservation, try sitting in the bar area. I love the spinach bacon salad and their crab cakes.

The Capital Grille Restaurants are easily the best most consistant steakhouse restaurant group in the US. The atmosphere, service, employee attitudes and most of all the food are all top notch. I highly recommend. The Minneapolis restaurant is well located in the downtown area.

Because of all the great reviews we decided to give Capital Grille a try before our theater show last night. Probably bad timing, as we'd just returned from a 11-day cruise! But I have to say the food and service met all the expectations we had from the reviews, and our meal was hands down superior to any on the... More

It was a joy to be able to walk one block from the Marriott Residence Inn to the Capital Grille at the end of a long day. We arrived at 7:00 on a Monday night without a reservation and were seated right away. The host took our coats and hung them up for us. The dark wood decor was warm... More

Went for Valentine's dinner Sunday during a long weekend visit to Minneapolis. We arrived after the theater crowd had left so it was very quiet. Beautiful room, excellent service and the food was perfectly prepared. It may be a bit expensive but it's definitely a case of getting what you pay for. Definitely worth the splurge for a special occasion.... More
