Literally, you just can't go wrong. Always perfect for a romantic evening out, hosting clients or celebrating with friends / family, The Capital Grille exemplifies the fine dining experience. Especially in today's ecletic food scene, it is difficult to find such a classic dining atmosphere paired perfectly with top-notch service and expert execution on the dishes. On this particular visit,... More

I have previously visited The Capital Grille in Nashville and left a review saying how much I enjoyed the food and the experience. So, when I saw The Capital Grille in Kansas City I assumed I was in for a very similar treat. Not so I am afraid. The formula of interior design and service is the same but the... More

This was our first time dining at Capital Grille. I had the salmon which was perfectly done and my husband had the filet which melted in your mouth. The best part of the meal was a tossup between the lobster mac and cheese and the cheesecake with fresh berries. We will definitely go back, but with the prices we will... More

First time at The Capital Grill. This was the best fine dining experience I have ever had. Food was excellent. We had the very best server for the evening....CHIKO....hands down - he should be giving lessons to others - he was great and made our whole dining experience great - from appetizer to dessert! I would definitely eat here again... More

Used a private room for business dinner. Great service. Calamari appetizer was very good as usual. Good wine list. Wine served well by our servers. Salads are fresh and tasty. Variety of main dishes ordered by our group with no problems and overall very good satisfaction. Tried the lamb chops which were quite good. Vegetable sides are family style and... More

We go there for our anniversary, birthday, valentine's day, restaraunt week....basically any excuse to go. The food is excellent, the service is always superb, and they always make you feel special. The lobster mac and cheese is truly amazing. No small bits of lobster here; you can often find a whole claw in your dish. The scallops were huge and... More

Capital Grille stands out from numerous great steak houses in a steak city. Great wait staff, reasonable wine list, top notch food. give Capital Grille the edge over Ruth's Chris, Plaza III, and other very good steak houses. It's a bit noisy for a quiet dinner with someone special and even a bit noisy for a productive business dinner, but... More

My husband and I made reservations for The Capital Grille online on our way to Kansas City, about 2 hours prior to dinner. We were seated right away. The service, Sebastian was our waiter, was amazing! They cut their own steaks, which were incredible. We never ran short of water or bread. The atmosphere is very classy. We were at... More
