    Filet Mignon 10oz, Creamed Spinach, Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Mosto, Soy Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Au Gratin Potatoes
    Matt R.

    Capital Grille is an amazing steakhouse! The filet mignon was like butter and the sides were all delightful. We had family style sides to share with the group that included asparagus, creamed spinach, au gratin potatoes, Brussels sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese. The wedge salad was huge and a few people could split it. The drinks were made well too. The service was attentive and the ambiance has a 1950s Frank Sinatra lounge feel, especially with the background music.

    Nice last day dinner with the guys. Great experience. Steaks and lamb chops were great.

    Sliced filet mignon

    Celebrated our anniversary at The Capital Grille last weekend and ordered from the Magical Dining Menu. I ordered the sliced filet mignon and my husband ordered the 10 oz filet. The sides of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were included and they were delicious. The steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the onions and mushrooms that came with my entree were so flavorful. The creme brulee I ordered for dessert tasted wonderful and was nice and creamy. They even brought our desserts out on a nice platter that read Happy Anniversary. Our server and assistant were attentive and checked on us regularly. The restaurant inside is a little dark, but not to the point where you can't read the menu without some light like other restaurants. If you plan on coming this month, the Magical Dining menu is definitely the way to go.

    The BEST espresso martini, food and service. Love this location. Super delicious. Love the open kitchen. Love that you really feel special when you're are a guest here.

    Walked in around 6pm, the service from the start was amazing, very professional, very informative and friendly. We were seated immediately, once seated our servers Ray and Colin were both amazing. There was only one chicken option unfortunately, I wasn't too sure on it since I couldn't remove the mushrooms. I decided to just have a cesar salad and some of the Sam's mash potatoes. Both were very yummy, I was told the lamb chops were delicious as well. Not pictured* I had the mocktail mojito in passion fruit and that was ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!!! I was celebrating an anniversary and they brought over rose petals, confetti hearts along with their cheesecake & chocolate cake. So sweet and thoughtful!! The ambiance was a balance between many celebrations and dinner dates. A little loud but not excessive, I saw dress up and go to capital grille! I would definitely return, I would only suggest a few other chicken options.

    Great place to visit. If you are coming from outside of walking distance, parking is easy with valet service. The task to get it validated is a little involved for the first time but no so bad as some parking apps I have used before. It feels like an old-school steakhouse. Service matches expectations, and the food is amazing. The Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Crushed Pistachios and Citrus Vinaigrette - Roasted red beets with mixed greens, arugula, whipped goat cheese, arugula pesto, heirloom tomatoes, crushed pistachios and citrus vinaigrette to start was amazing but the beets and the goat cheese were oddly hidden below the greens to the point where you wondered if you got the correct salad served. The Au Gratin Potatoes - Hearty slices layered with a blend of cheeses - not to be missed, well, can be missed. Not enough flavor. The Soy-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon - Brussels Sprouts with smoked bacon lardons, however, were like crack. Not that I have ever had the experience of crack, but you get the idea. The Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Miso Butter - Shiitake Mushrooms, Asparagus and Miso Butter, for my main course was great. Outside of the little dings here and there, the real problem for me was the price. As others have mentioned you are going to pay a lot for the meal here to the point where you are wondering if it is worth it.

    Our friends

    Ahhhh 11 years ago my husband proposed here and it was our first time going with couple friends and that day was magical and a never forget moment. Since the proposal, it always holds a special space in our hearts (this location specially too) so we frequently would come back on some special occasions-for Valentine's Day weekend to be exact and we brought new friends and raved about the establishment. However, when we arrived the hostesses were kinda argumentative in front of us standing around the podium waiting for our names to be called for seating. Upon getting seated, we were seated in the back near a door where the staff was going in and out of the door, causing my purse to drop and no apologies. Also our table was made for 5 people but we were a party of 4. I understand they are busy but this isn't the first time we came on Valentine's Day either. Our waitstaff, you can tell he was pushy and rushing us-starts off by saying, "I recommend you ordering everything at the same time because our kitchen is busy." Then proceeds to pour some water in my glass and ice chips are falling on the table. Also, I ordered one of the steak chef recommendations (medium) and my husband also ordered a steak (medium) but his steak comes out well. Way over cooked! Our lobster mac and cheese was bland, the waitstaff recommended the squash soup as a favorite but to me it was not good. Honestly the only thing good and worth the hype were the French fries and the bacon our friends had. There are definitely better establishments that we have been to with better quality and I had to say that because capital grille is/was amazing but they have to do better. Oh and let's not forget their were giving out roses at the end of night once you finished dinner but guess which two ladies didn't get any....

    The Capital Grille Cheesecake

    We came here for my husband's birthday. The food was great. Our server was awesome and very attentive. They had a birthday card on the table for him and confetti. It was super cute. For dessert they brought out his cheesecake with happy birthday on the plate. The variety of bread was my personal favorite! Mmmmm....

    Was in Orlando for a meeting with my hubby & had dinner at Capital Grille. I took advantage of the Orlando Magic Dining deals $60 for a full course meal. It included various entrees so I picked a 10 oz filet mignon. My hubby had the steak a poivre & my stepson had the Bone-in Ribeye. As sides we had the wedge salad & mashed potatoes. For desert we had cheesecake. The au poivre was bland even with the sauce. Both the filet & bone-in ribeye were super delicious. We had good portions enough to take home for another meal. Overall service was great by Marcos & being seated in the back of the restaurant was a treat.

    Really enjoyed the experience! Stopped by for a business dinner with a group of about 20 people. The service was amazing the servers were very friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed and the food was delicious and well prepared. Definitely stopping by again when I visit Orlando.

    Coconut Cream Pie
    Michelle P.

    Went here for a work event and we had one of the rooms. The service and food was excellent. We shared multiple different appetizers such as the lobster & crab cakes, shrimp cocktail and calamari. All were delicious. For some starters a few ordered the lobster bisque which was incredible. Very creamy and full of lobster meat. The heirloom and burrata salad was very good too, great for a shareable appetizer. For meals there were many items ordered and I cannot speak for how things were, however the lobster tails were huge and looked good and I heard the waygu was delicious (it was the American one). I personally ordered the sliced filet with cipollini onions, wild mushrooms, and fig essence. It was very good. I wanted ribeye but the server suggested that be cooked no less than medium and I prefer medium rare so I went with the filet. We ordered a bunch of sides for the table: hash browns with caviar, lobster Mac and cheese, mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, creamed spinach, and Brussels sprouts. All were very good but the hash browns, lobster mac, and Brussels were probably my favorite. For dessert I ordered the coconut cream pie. This thing was massive. It was good and had a bit of a cheesecake taste to it. I don't know if I would order it again though- it didn't wow me.

    Generous pour wine selections (red varietals)
    Erynne B.

    Participated in the generous pour and sampled six varieties of great wines for $45. Also had magical dining which was an amazing experience. The filets here are always the best. The only thing that didn't allow me was the clam chowder, everything else was above and beyond. Our server Preston was outstanding, checked on us frequently, and had great expertise on not only the food, but the generous pour selections as well. Will definitely be returning. Also, there is free valet parking in front of the restaurant which makes it much more convenient than parking in the garage.

I checked in when I arrived, and was told I could sit anywhere in the bar for faster service. I first sat in the show kitchen area, thinking that was a food bar. However, after not getting acknowledged, I moved to the main bar. My bartender (who goes by the letter H) greeted me and told me the tequila fix (13 dollars) was a good drink. Indeed it was with an ample amount of tequila, watermelon, and lime. It was quite refreshing and sweet. I took the popular pork chop dish (24 dollars), which was a big chop glazed in brown butter. It was pretty tender and flavorful with the glaze, and the romesco sauce made the flavors even better. It did get a bit gamey at the end, but I still enjoyed it. The vegetable was a generous amount of various colored carrots, which were thick and a bit crunchy. It had to be cut with a knife, but it was delicious, that the equestrian in me had a happy whinny. For dessert, the suggested cheesecake (9 dollars) was a winner as it was moist and fluffy, providing a sweet end. I saved some for home to enjoy the next day. My bartender was friendly and helpful. She was pretty busy, but still had a cheerful and engaging attitude. I also love the vibe as it was social and busy. The music kept the rhythm going, and the dining area is quite open and big. Outdoor dining is available as well. Sixty Vines reminds me of Cooper Hawks, but maybe a bit more upscale and lively. The food and drinks are great and the prices are pretty reasonable. It's a great place to hang out with friends and have some food, wine, and other cocktails. Overall: A

For dinner, we had the filet with peppercorn sauce and the pasta bolognese -- and we basically licked both plates clean. The filet was unbelievable.
