    Went to The Capital Grille McLean location for the first time ever for a birthday celebration, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Great food, very professional but club-like decor and atmosphere (as expected for this chain), but absolute tipping point was hands down the service. Jason C was an exceptional server: friendly, knowledgeable, exemplary service and style. Food was so good I only remembered to take a picture of the after dinner cappuccino but in our party we had the filet mignon, sea bass, and sides of asparagus and potatoes au gratin. Everything was prepared perfectly.

    I've been to The Capital Grille in DC before, but this was my first visit to the Tysons Corner location after being invited to a birthday lunch. We were offered a pre-fixe menu, which I actually appreciated because there was a solid variety of options. We started with crispy calamari and a bread basket at each table, followed by a choice of mixed greens salad or clam chowder. Entrée options included salmon with couscous, chicken breast with rice, steak frites, and a vegetarian option. For the table, we also received sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes to share - always a win . Dessert was a decadent platter of flourless chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and cheesecake. For a table of six, it was the perfect amount to sample and share . Unfortunately, the service was subpar. While I understand there were about 45 people in the room, this lunch was planned far in advance and should have been staffed accordingly. Simple requests took far too long - I asked for ketchup and by the time it arrived, my fries were already cold. Beverage service was also painfully slow, which took away from the overall experience . The restaurant itself is housed in an office building, and the signage isn't very visible from the main road. That said, I loved that they offer valet parking for just $5, a total steal for the area . The location is spacious overall, but the private room we were seated in felt tight for the size of our group. It would've been helpful if the organizers had been advised that the room might be too small. Overall, the food was delicious and the parking situation was ideal. Still, with so many incredible non-chain dining options in the DMV, this isn't a spot I feel the need to frequent at this time.

    Great food; great service. I wanted to take my wife out for a special meal and this was the perfect night. Not only did we have a great time, but we had a tremendously enjoyable evening. The setting was nice enough to call romantic and comfortable enough to enjoy the night out without feeling we we the only patrons. We started the evening off with their bread and some mocktails, which perfectly balanced the flavors. For starters we had the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, and oh my gosh, so good. We also had soup, which were delicious. I had the French onion, and my wife a squash soup. For our main meal I went with the bone-in ribeye, and my wife the sliced filet mignon with cipollini onions. While I would say my steak was good, my wife's was great. For a (large) side we had the au gratin potatoes, which is the way to go. We capped everything off with one shared dessert, a chocolate espresso cake, which was smooth and creamy. Delish. And for the record, we left stuffed, satisfied, and with leftovers.

    Whenever there is a special event at Fairfax Capital Grille, I love to be there for the delicious food, wine and especially the ambiance. Such a special event is their Wagyu and Wine. If you haven't yet, you need to go while it's going on. It's only for a limited time. I enjoyed it twice this year so far! I love to take home part of my meal and stretch that wonderful rich taste of Wagyu and the Truffle Fries as well as the House-made Chips. There is even a Chips and Caviar version, if you can indulge! It's wise to make reservations so that you can be seated in the area of your choice in the restaurant. There are even Private Dining Rooms and they are beautifully intimate.

    The food was amazing and our server Jose was the BEST!!! My steak was cooked to perfection and the entire table was kneaded with their food!

    Overcooked ribeye
    Miguel A.

    I'm giving them a 5 star review because the food and service are normally top notch! The restaurant has a great ambiance! The service is always amazing! They are definitely professional about offering a great dining experience. Their calamari is one of the best in a area. Try the prosciutto wrapped cheese! I ordered a ribeye and unfortunately it was a bit overcooked 2x and had a heavy, overpowering balsamic taste. The mashed potatoes, asparagus and lobster Mac and cheese helped make up for the less than perfect steak.

    Complimentary birthday dessert

    Made a reservation online for 6:30pm on a Friday but arrived early. My party was able to be seated without any issues. I will say, the restaurant started getting busy a little later so something to keep in mind. Went for a birthday dinner and let the restaurant know in the online reservation details. They added some "flair" to the table, which was a nice touch. Had the crab and lobster crab cake as an appetizer. It was delicious! The menu said it was for 2, but it's just 1 large crab cake, fyi. Had the salmon as an entree and the other person had steak. Both were tasty. Also added asparagus as a side because I didn't notice that the menu mentioned that the salmon came with green beans (it does so I must have missed that). Our server brought out a complimentary dessert for the birthday, which was a nice touch. Overall a nice experience.

    The Capital Grille in Tysons Virginia was an excellent choice for dinner and they also always have one of the best service. Food came out fairly timed considering a busy Saturday night. Valet parking is the only option and it was only $5, I was surprised how quickly they were able to greet me with a line four cars deep. I tried to tip the driver however he kindly said it can be done upon leaving if needed. The dry aged Kona steak was quite large and cooked exactly how I liked, the thick cut was ordered medium rare and the color in the center was precise. The highlight was the breads, both the raisin rye bread and the sourdough onion bread were so tasty. I would like to compliment the server for staying professional and brisk although one of the trays tilted and spilled onto my shirt sleeve, she was very apologetic and quickly came back with an extra napkin and attention to help absorb the excess water. The overall night was very pleasant and I will be happy to come back and enjoy another occasion.

    One of my favorite seafood and steak restaurants in the DMV. The service is excellent, the restaurant is sophistically decorated and the food is always consistent. My favorite cocktails are their Stoli Doli and Dirty martini. Their seafood tower is always fresh and easy to eat. On this occasion they had a porterhouse special that my husband and I shared. They pre-sliced so it was easy to divide in half. My only complaint would be I wish they had specials on desserts but what they do have is consistently good.

    Seared Sea Scallops with Maine Lobster and Asparagus Risotto
    Jenny T.

    Pretty good. Stopped here for dinner while charging our car on our way back from the airport, and service was friendly and fast. White tablecloths and most people were up dressed, but they didn't make a fuss and I didn't feel any judgement about me and my hoodie and sandals (eep). I loved this onion bread that they had in the bread basket... It came out toasty, warm and savory. I didn't care too much for the other breads which is surprising because I love rye bread--the one in our basket was a bit cold and hard. I liked the variety in the basket though. The sea bass was good -- it was a bit on the overcooked side, but the sauce made up for the slight dryness. I liked the mushroom and asparagus, and the sauce wasn't overpowering to any of the food's flavors. The Mac and cheese was a bit watery, but after mixing it and letting it sit a little bit it was fine. Good chunks of lobster and the pasta cut was interesting! Overall, would definitely come back.

    Wedge salad

    Came back for some sea bass and wedge salad, alls well that ends well. The valet is always helpful.

    We had a great dining experience , Rich was our server and also did a phenomenal job with walking us through the Generous Pour wines. It was also restaurant week and he did a great job with accommodating our larger party. We had a bday at the table and they did a great job making the birthday girl feel extra special. We will definitely be back! Food wise we all went with items from the restaurant week menu which was standard but a great value !

The pianist swept you off your feet as she played back to back hits. What a romantic addition to the stunning decor and ambiance that this restaurant and hotel created. We sat in the bar area, no reservations needed. Drinks: I had to try their espresso martini after reviews that it was the best around...well, let's just say that the reviews aren't wrong! The espresso was brewed strong and the liquor pairing was perfect. 10/10 easily! My boyfriend's drink of choice was the Port of Angel's envy and he raved about how excellent the Angel's Envy bourbon was, said it was worth taking a bottle home. 10/10 Bar bites: I ordered what I called "girl dinner" lol the caviar & shrimp toast, which I can best describe as AMAZING! A perfect 10/10 My boyfriend ordered the crab cake sliders which came with a side of fries and honey, those crab cakes were DELISH! Perfect 10/10 The fries had a hint of truffle oil on it, making them even more addictive. Overall, I'm in love with the ambiance, food, and drinks and whether you choose this place for amazing drinks with friends, bar bites while watching their large screen TVs, or a romantic dinner in the main dining area-you will not regret it.

During dinner, there was live music which created a nice ambiance. I ordered the half roast chicken and chicken Bryani. The half roast chicken was disappointing. The breast was dry and flavorless. The bed of corn and beans reminds me of something you pull from the freezer. The chicken bryani could use more seasoning and spices. Dinner menu seems to be the same as the dinner menu from last year. Breakfast we ordered the chicken and waffles and also the lobster eggs Benedict. The chicken and waffle was cooked fresh. Chicken crispy and juicy. Waffle fluffy. The lobster Benedict was a let down. Eggs were cooked nicely but the lobster bits were mushy. Overall the room was nice and the food was hit or miss.

If you're Korean, and you're looking for the traditional affair, this is not it. I'd take a client or friends here who aren't Korean. It's catered more towards non-Koreans IMO.

I appreciated the promptness in attending to our needs. The savory dishes btw- the dwenjangjiggae is awful. Lacks depth, flavor, and just overall was very meh.

Some of the others at the table complained about their steaks being overcooked. Some of the sides were bland. Overall, while I liked my food, I was underwhelmed. It was nice to try something new but this may be my only visit.
