    ​Phenomenal kitchen team, but service lacked warmth. ​Compliments to the chef and kitchen crew--the food was absolute perfection! Service was clean and faultless on paper, but it felt a little cold and corporate rather than warm and welcoming. For $260 for two, a little genuine hospitality goes a long way. On a positive note, the lower-level valet service was completely seamless and professional. Overall, great food and logistics, just missing that "happy" energy.

    Capital Grille never disappoints. Their attentiveness permeates from their hostess to their staff at table service. They ensure your experience is optimal from start to finish. Great for date or family night and noise level provides atmosphere for conversation. We started off with a French onion soup cup, and a butternut squash cup. Both were delicious! I have to say the French onion soup slightly surpassed the butternut squash only because they added curry to the dish. Their filet mignon is moist with a pink center and perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also enjoyed the Brussels with bacon, which are not pictured here, but they were mouthwatering, delicious, and crispy. Never a disappointing trip to this restaurant. I will continue to visit. Thank you for providing great service and most of all the delicious food.

    For my wife and I know anniversary is complete without a visit to Capital Grille. One year while traveling on business during the week of our anniversary we actually ate at five Capital Grilles in different cities. One thing I have noticed as a constant throughout the brand is on the rare occasions where things are not perfect, they go out of their way to secure your loyalty. And while they are all outstanding, some of their restaurants stand out and Miami is one of them. This year, our only Capital Grille trip for our anniversary was the Brickell restaurant here in our hometown of Miami. I almost broke our tradition this year because I had a wonderful Wagyu 40 ounce prime ribeye the night before, but I could not bear to celebrate another perfect year with my perfect wife without visiting the perfect restaurant. And while it is perfectly acceptable to object to my frequent use of the word perfect so often in this review, I found that I could not perfect it without this indulgence. So here is the story of our perfect evening. We arrived for our reservation and parked with the valet parking. Extremely courteous and easy access to the restaurant. When we checked in, there was a brief wait while they prepared our table in their unique and beautiful way that they do for anniversary celebrations. Sometimes it is a little things that turn excellent into wonderful and wonderful into perfect. They escorted us to a lovely table and brought out champagne. The table was adorned with confetti and a card. While I recall the old days where they came out with an instant camera and took our picture and put that in with the card, I understand that times change, but I do miss that. But they did take our cell phone and make sure we captured a picture of the evening. They asked about our drinks and while we sip champagne, we considered that it is not celebratory without our favorite drinks at the Capital Grill. We asked about the Stoli Doli and they gave us a rather generous taste of it, which we enjoyed, but we decided to go with our standards, she with their signature Cosmo and I with their wonderful dirty Goose martini. They also brought out their bread basket and although I am on a low-carb diet, I cannot resist the best of brown bread in the world. I even had to ask for more. I started my meal with a delicious crab bisque instead of my usual salad. What a good choice. It was wonderful and I enjoyed every spoonful. A generous amount of crab and a very tasty bisque indeed. For the main course, I went off my routine due to my large stake the night before and for the first time ordered the lamb chops. I have to use the word perfect again. These were cooked perfectly and the flavor was wonderful. For double thick chops was a very generous portion, but every bite was savor. Loved it. My wife went with her usual filet mignon, which arrived a bit undercooked for her (although it would have been perfect for me.). As always, the meats were top quality and could not have tasted any better. Perfect in fact. Our sides were the Lyonnaise potatoes and brussels sprouts which were, sorry for that word again, perfect. The brussels sprouts are soy glazed with thick cut bacon. Frankly, they are meal in themselves. There is so much meat mixed in. Bacon is not something I usually eat, but for these I make an exception. Because they are exceptional. I sometimes also get the lobster macaroni and cheese, but deferred this time due to the amount of food we already had. They brought up a night, complementary dessert for our anniversary, which we enjoy every year because we ordinarily would not get dessert after such a big meal and these small tastes really add a wonderful touch to it. What can I say? The restaurant is beautiful and romantic, the service is impeccable, the management always comes by for a quick visit, and even the other patrons helped make the experience, yes, you guessed it, perfect. They have secured my loyalty as I love their brand and this particular one is truly exceptional. One might say perfect. I know I do.

    Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Mosto

    The Capital Grille never disappoints. It's always a classy, dependable choice with an incredible ambiance and consistently knowledgeable, friendly service. We kicked things off with cocktails--my margarita was perfectly balanced, and my friend's Paloma was just as refreshing. They definitely don't skimp on the liquor... For starters, we tried the calamari and oysters--both were absolutely delicious and new to me. I'll definitely order them again! I had the ahi tuna for my entrée, and it was cooked to perfection--flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented. My friend ordered the filet, which was equally impressive. The sides deserve their own praise: creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked asparagus rounded out the meal. I can't wait to return. The Capital Grille continues to set the standard.

    All I can say is money well spent! The crunchy fried calamari and peppers was the perfect appetizer. Now the steaks !!! Omg ! They were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. Sides of mashed potatoes and creamy spinach casserole were perfect accompaniment for the steaks. The dessert of cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake ended our perfect dinner !

    Parking is easy as there is an underground garage that connects directly to the restaurant via an elevator. They do validate a little but it's not completely covered. The inside of the restaurant is really special. You get an old time restaurant feel with some modern fixtures. The service was excellent throughout our dining experience. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We stated with a bottle of wine and the calamari. There is a wide selection of wine. The calamari was excellent and the peppers really added a dimension to the appetizer. For entrees I ordered the New York strip with the au poivre and courvoisier sauce which was cooked to a medium rare perfection and exceptionally tender. I thought the au poivre and sauce were nice accompaniments to the steak. We shared some well cooked asparagus and the lobster Mac and cheese which had good chunks of lobster in it. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was moist and chocolatey with a silky smooth ice cream to go with it. Highly recommend your next steakhouse adventure be at the Capital Grille.

    We got there early so we didn't have to wait for a table, our waitress was Andrea, she was the best five stars just to her. Everything was so delicious. I would definitely recommend this location.

    Wedge with Bleu Cheese and Smoked Bacon
    Maydee M.

    Celebrated an anniversary at The Capital Grille and the experience could not have been better. Service was fantastic, the manager checking in multiple times and the staff going out of their way to make it feel special. We were very grateful for the extra touches that made the night memorable. We went with the Miami Spice menu and kicked things off with their bread service, which is honestly one of my favorites anywhere. I had the wedge salad, and everything about it was spot on -- crisp lettuce, smoky bacon, and a dressing that was downright divine. For my entrée, I got the upcharge Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip, and it absolutely hit the spot. The sides were classic! Dessert was the Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake, and while there's no photo proof (because it was devoured the second it hit the table), trust me when I say it was my absolute favorite bite of the evening. Rich and decadent Overall, The Capital Grille delivered a flawless anniversary dinner, excellent service, great ambiance, and food that reliable lives up to the occasion.

    Glazed Bacon

    Nice ambiance, good food, wonderful service. Our waiter was Giancarlo and he was wonderful. He made great knowledgeable recommendations. He described things perfectly which guided our decisions and our selections did not disappoint. Like Giancarlo we have tried Wagyu in Japan, as well as Kobe and other Japanese Wagyu and other American Wagyu, and some have been disappointing that I have not been interested in trying another American Wagyu. He described it as mix of Japanese and American Wagyu so at $95 I gave it a try and it was delicious. It is not over priced. It is slightly higher cost than the non Wagyu but it is worth it. The bacon was good. Not too sweet, not overly crispy. He described the type of lobster they cart bring South African and having the best texture and flavor and my husband said he was not disappointed he enjoyed his lobster tail. We enjoyed the asparagus. The only thing we did not enjoy was the Brussels sprouts. I typically love Brussels sprouts but these weren't crispy enough and the glaze was very sweet and thick. The flourless cake was surprisingly delicious. Better than cakes with flour that I've had. It wasn't crumbly, it was decadent. The cheesecake was also good. There were some other selections that sounded interesting so I would come back to try them. I think the service put them over the top to a 5 rating for us. Thank you Giancarlo.

    This Capital Grille is in Brickell! To park, you would go in the garage and I believe valet is the only option in here with the easiest entrance. The valet has an elevator that leads right to the lobby/hostess stand of the restaurant. We were a bit early for our dinner reservation so we decided to walk around the area outside. When it was time, we were seated promptly. When I made the reservation, I let them know we were celebrating something & we were greeted with little confetti on the table and a nice greeting card. I didn't know we could be specific of what we were celebrating on the reservation but our server let me know we could so they could help us celebrate accordingly. The dinner was great! Our server was super attentive and helpful. When we were looking over the menu, we almost got carried away but he helped us slim down our order with half sizes of some of the shareable plates. So grateful he did that because we almost ordered a feast and, even with the half orders, we took a lot home! If there's ever anything I can recommend getting here, it would be the Kona-crusted dry aged bone-in NY Strip steak. It is sooooo good and a reason we will come back time and again. Although this place is a fine dining pricey spot, it recommend coming here for special occasions. They really know how to make you feel loved, even with the small things such as a greeting. They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert with the word, "congrats" on it in celebration. Overall, a five-star experience at this Capital Grille.

    My husband and I came out for a date night and decided on Capital Grille. I'm so glad we did. I can't speak about the food without mentioning the truly amazing service we received from Andy and his team. Andy guided us towards the most amazing food choices. I'm so glad we trusted his judgment and tweaks to our orders. To start, we had the tuna tartare and the wedge salad. They split the wedge salad for us so we each had our own plate, and it was honestly so delicious. It had this thick-cut bacon that was cooked to perfection, and the blue cheese dressing was a dream. The tuna tartare had great balance with the mango sauce and sriracha, and it melted in your mouth. For mains, we were going to have the Kona crusted ribeye and the sliced filet, but we were both on the fence about it. I had my eye on the filet with the Gorgonzola crust and the red wine reduction, and then Andy raved about the porcini crusted ribeye. We ended up eating the above and truly enjoyed it. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were unmatched. At this point, we were convinced that Andy knows best and asked him about dessert. He mentioned his favorite was the crème brûlée, so we ordered just that. It truly has to be the best crème brûlée we've had. The brûlée layer was thin and toasted to perfection while the crème was thick and flavorful. Thank you for truly amazing service and delicious food.

I'd certainly recommend Magie for a casual date night, or nightcap after dinner elsewhere. The patio with string lights and all does seem cute for a quiet evening.

From the second you pull up the driveway, you are greeted by rolling rows of vines and an atmosphere that instantly makes you drop your shoulders and relax. It completely lives up to its name--the vibe is effortlessly mellow, sophisticated, and incredibly welcoming. Here is why this place has officially become my absolute favorite spot: 1. The Wine & Food Pairings are Masterful The culinary team here clearly works hand-in-hand with the winemakers, because the pairings are flawless. We started with a crisp, beautifully balanced white blend paired with an artisanal charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheeses and a phenomenal house-made fig jam. For the main course, the slow-braised short rib literally melted off the bone, and when paired with their estate estate Syrah, it was pure magic. Every bite was an absolute home run. 2. Breathtaking Atmosphere & Ambiance The design of the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between rustic vineyard charm and modern elegance. We sat out on the covered patio, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the vineyard. As the sun began to set, they lit the fire pits and turned on string lights, creating an incredibly romantic, warm glow across the entire space. It's the kind of environment where you just want to linger for hours over dessert and another bottle. 3. World-Class Hospitality What truly elevates Mellow Grapes is the service. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable without an ounce of pretentiousness. They walked us through the tasting notes of each wine, shared the history of the vineyard, and gave us brilliant recommendations based on our personal palates. The pace of the meal was perfect--we never felt rushed, yet we were perfectly looked after the entire evening. The Verdict Mellow Grapes is an absolute gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a perfect date night, or just want to treat yourself to an exquisite meal and fantastic wine, this place delivers on every front. The passion behind the food, the wine, and the hospitality is evident in every single detail. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit.
