The Capital Grille

Amazing!! I can’t believe this was our first time here!! The whole experience was amazing! Great atmosphere, excellent, food was perfection, dessert divine!! So happy to add this into our rotation of Austin Steakhouses!! Can’t wait to come back! I ordered the Black Tie Margarita, 22oz Ribeye, Expresso Dessert, my husband has Woodford Reserve and Coke, Filet and Lobster, Au Graten Potatoes and Coconut Cream Pie. We will literally come back and order the same meal!

My husband and I came here to celebrate a special milestone and we were very pleased! I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which came with 5 large shrimp and a delicious cocktail sauce, while my husband started with the French onion soup. Both were delicious! He went with the Dry Aged NY Strip* au Poivre with Courvoisier Cream and I chose the Seared Sea Scallops with Maine Lobster and Asparagus Risotto. Heavenly! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto was not too heavy. The Courvoisier Cream on the Strip was superb and complemented the steak exquisitely! For sides we got a half order (yes they do that!!) of asparagus and mushrooms and of wow! Yum!! The asparagus had a nice light flavor and were crisp, not mushy, and the mushrooms were amazing! In honor of our celebration we were brought two mini desserts, on the house, which due to being stuffed already, we had a bite of each and they gladly wrapped the rest up for us to take home. Highly recommend that Brûléed New York-style cheesecake! Our server was Brooke and she did a great job! Thank you for taking care of us! We will be back to explore more of the menu!

Tonight was absolutely amazing! Lamar wasn’t even our assigned waiter, yet he went above and beyond to take incredible care of us. As we were leaving, he made sure we had water to go, such a thoughtful touch. His service was impeccable from start to finish. Someone please give this man a raise and a promotion, he truly deserves it!

We arrived right when the doors opened, and were greated very well. Food was amazing as always. But the service was slow. Some of our items came incomplete. I expressed my concern to Michael the manager and he went above and beyond to correct the items and change our experience. Thank you Michael! You are a true leader in management.

Thomas Beguiristain was a phenomenal server. The restaurant was kind of slow so he had time to chat a little which was very pleasant. The guy not only knew good food, but he knew amazing fragrances as well. I had the calamari, the lobster and crab cake, and a Caesar salad. The wine was Selection was great please let him choose. He’s an expert.

Such a phenomenal experience at the capital grille. Food was amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly and omg!!! That stoli doli drink is amazing our server was very polite and attentive. And the price was very reasonable.

Highly recommend the blackberry side car. We ordered the NY dry aged steak which was perfectly done and the bone in ribeye with the asparagus and potatoes al gratin. The potatoes were okay... I think the cheese may have separated it was very graining. But the staff was incredible. Chris, Layla, Chase and Erik were wonderful and engaging.

The food was good. Not many options, but what they had was definitely on the higher end. Would I come again? Probably not—but it was a great experience and I’m glad I tried it. They even gave us roses, which was super sweet! Okay… maybe I would come again. It just depends. For now, the adventure of trying new restaurants continues for me lol. The service was good too, not amazing, but solid. Definitely make a reservation before you go they stay booked for a while!
