    Jumbo Lump Crabcake
    Michelle E.

    The Capital Grille has always been great but this time we noticed the menu is bigger- more options! We loved the cocktails, scallops and risotto, steak, and creamed spinach. Great service as well. We look forward to dining here again in the future!

    Bday dessert chocolate cake and creme brûlée cheesecake
    Selena F.

    First time visiting and I enjoyed it. Our server Lauren was amazing, very funny and sweet. It was nice inside, dimly lit, the art was... interesting. I ordered the chicken breast with the risotto which was delicious the chicken was very tender. The risotto was flavorful I enjoyed the mushrooms and asparagus, it was a good texture too. The lobster mac was my favorite, it is a side but a good portion, I greedily wish it was bigger. I usually don't care for breadcrumbs but it really added to the dish. I'm excited to eat my leftovers! We celebrated my friend's birthday and she received a cute chocolate cake and cheesecake, the cheesecake was delicious the berry sauce made it even better. Another friend ordered the cosmo she really enjoyed it. Everyone said they enjoyed their food and would love to return!

    Solid meal on a Sunday evening. My rib-eye steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were good. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. For a chain steakhouse, Capital Grill is definitely one of the better ones.

    The Grille-s Signature Burger with Caramelized Onions, Wisconsin Grand Cru Gruy-re and Shallot Aioli

    Dear Capital Grill .... is this medium well? Someone didn't get the order right!!! When you spend $25 for a burger you would expect to have your temperature request to be a little better than this. Stopped in before heading to an event at Fiserv Forum and was unfortunately disappointed. Sat at the bar for quicker service and well that was a wrong thought .... ordered a glass of wine and a water to begin with and the bartender did serve me the wine quickly no water arrived until I again asked (after waiting about 10 minutes). We placed our order which included an appetizer and then entree (which one item was their famous bar burger). After we placed our order and received our appetizer we asked for their bread basket (didn't think we had to ask everyone around us received a bread basket so why did we have to ask?) so as we waited for our entrees still no bread (now it's the point that we are being ignored) then our entrees come and well so did the bread (everything all at once nice timing). Then as we start to eat the burger was prepared rate/medium rare when I asked for it to be prepared medium well/well done (it's not only a flavor but a texture thing for me). Throughout the whole time the bartender ignored us cleaned and served others but not us the two people sitting directly in front of her at the bar. Nonetheless paid $25+ dollars for the burger (and of course the other items were not a small price tag either) and left with unsatisfied service and food. Someone missed the order in this one!!!

    My girlfriend and I had lunch in the bar area, and I was truly impressed by both the food and service. They were hosting a Wagyu and wine event, so we decided to try one of the appetizers from that menu (I even had caviar for the first time!) and also shared the crab cakes. The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Our server, Joshua, was outstanding--attentive, professional, and always there when we needed him, despite having several other guests to look after. I don't get to visit as often as I'd like, but every time I do, I'm reminded of why I love dining at The Capital Grille. The experience is always exceptional!

    Gorgonzola-crusted filet mignon
    Holly H.

    One of the best spots for date night. The Gorgonzola crusted filet mignon was amazing. For sides the lobster Mac & cheese was 10/10 best Mac and cheese we've ever had! The Brussels sprouts were also crispy and so flavorful. Service was amazing as always.

    Beautiful and magnificent food for sure
    Charlotte Q.

    Server Angela was refreshing felt like being at home with a member of my family she's very warm and genuine. Food was very good as always .... However , I valet parked when I came out paid the 12 $ and the guy says your car is right across the street there ( and it was) but I thought valet they took your vehicle and BROUGHT IT BACK ? So it took me several turns and maneuvers to get it out since it was so tight in the space . And now the next day I have a text saying my car is still parked there for 13 hours??!!! ... not impressed with what they call VALET and changed me full price ..

    Wago and wine

    Went for lunch and had the amazing Wagyu and Wine. Our server, Lauren was great and made sure that we were very well taken care of. Had lunch in the bar in my favorite corner. Overall great experience and the Duckhorn wines were great.

    Went for our anniversary at lunch time and had great service from Mike. The staff acknowledged our note from the Open Table reservation that it was out anniversary and we received a card and free dessert, which was much appreciated. The cocktails were great and the mashed potatoes were super creamy while still having some larger pieces within for a great overall texture. The filet was more medium rare than medium and could've used a little more seasoning, but had a great crust to it. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely come back.

    Veal chop

    Came here on a Wednesday, no wait for a booth with three people. Staff was kind and attentive. The food met expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by the veal chop. We also ordered the bone in filet, which I believe was a daily special--that was pretty good. The lobster bisque was just alright, and I wasn't impressed by the calamari. Overall, I went there for steak, and I enjoyed the steak.

Staff was not prepared at all, actually telling people the guy who usually does speech did not come and they do not know what to say actually. For any alcohol you will buy you will pay in addition which is fine BUT the price for that drink(s) will be surprising you a lot. For 5 sake drinks the bill was around $370. Last two glasses were having less sake than first glasses we were provided, probably because people who already drunk something would not notice the difference. It's ok to have expensive alcohol pairing with high end dinner but in this case the sake was very regular. By the way, at bar 10 steps away from the Dark room (same hotel, same floor, same the floor area) the same sake did cost $23 for two glasses. Well... I understand people try to run business and earn money but everything should not cross some decency borders. These guys did cross the line in my opinion. Alcohol prices are not mentioned in Menu by the way. I do not recommend this place not only due to drinks pricing policy but due to "ok" food/service/price ratio
