Creamed Spinach, Sam's Mashed Potatoes, Soy Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Kyrell B.

My husband and I came here for our 6 month wedding anniversary and Capital Grille did not disappoint! The ambiance, food and service were amazing. They decorated the table and provided us with a card when they realized we were celebrating. The food did NOT disappoint. We absolutely loved the creamed spinach and Brussels sprouts. The appetizer were delicious. Everything literally everything was mouth watering food and cooked to protection. I'm so mad that I cannot remember the name of our server. He was amazing as well!

Dessert was the highlight

So we are in Florida to just relax and this was the first night's selection as I had heard so many good things about this place. Made our reservations and we were promptly seated. The ambiance was amazing, gave off that old school gangsta feel with the music and lighting plus the art decor. Our server eventually showed up and he was cordial and attentive. Took our drink orders and our food orders. We started our meal with a wedge salad which was very good and the bacon was amazing. Then we waited for close to an hour for our steak, a dry aged porterhouse and if you've ever had dry-aged beef, you normality get a beefy taste which we didn't get. The steak was cooked to Temp but lacked seasoning as I had to add salt and pepper to it. We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and that was tasty seeing I'm not a fan of Mac and cheese. They did slightly redeem themselves with it anniversary dessert and champagne, that was an amazing touch as was the rose they gave my wife. You need to remember that my wife and i are from Texas and being the beef state of the nation and maybe the world, we hold beef restaurants to a higher degree.

We always have an exceptional experience when we dine here. It is our tradition to celebrate New Year's Eve here and we've been doing it for almost 15 years. Our server Pablo is absolutely exceptional always gives five star service and is just a joy to be around. We started with the classic lobster bisque (comes in a cup or bowl) and while it's not always on the menu, they always have it. You just have to ask the server. The soup is thick and creamy and it's always packed full of lobster. For entrées I opted for the dry aged New York strip with a side of the Courvoisier cream it is one of my absolute go to. the steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce is just absolutely delicious. My husband got the Porter house and it's a beautiful looking steak seasoned well cooked perfectly on the inside, and we got an order of the soy glazed brussels sprouts to share. Again, this is one of our go to sides as the flavoring is excellent, and they put nice big chunks of thick bacon in it as well. We don't typically get dessert, but because it was New Year's Eve, we were celebrating so we got their flourless chocolate cake which again is one of our go-tos. It's dense and tastes almost like fudge. It's so good. There is Valet parking that is available right outside, but if you don't want to pay the valet parking fees, you can go to the parking garage and park there and walk. I would give yourself plenty of time as it's about a 5 to 7 minute walk from the parking garage to the restaurant itself

Outstanding service and delicious food. Our server was absolutely amazing with prompt service and going above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The steaks are delicious and the ambience of this restaurant is incredible

I've never been treated better in my life!!!!! Mariah, our server/bartender, was one of the friendliest and most attentive people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!!!! Top to bottom, this was one of the best experiences of my life!!!! I can't recall the name of her fellow bartender but he was dually exceptional!!! What a place!!! Look at this steak!!!! Find me a better one I defy you!!!! And the sides were amazing!!!!! Fernet Branca my fav!!!!! Two thumbs up all the way!!!!!

Filet Mignon and wedge salad
Nevik Y.

Amazing dining experience! Our servers Carrie and Natasha were amazing....they check back often to see how things were and if we needed anything. We had the wedge salad, field greens salad, Filet Mignon, Sliced filet mignon with mushrooms, cream spinach, mashed potatoes, and the delicious assortment of breads. Followed by the crème brûlée with an assortment of fruits and the cheesecake also with an assortment of fruits. The service and food were top notched. You will not be disappointed!

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

Sliced filet mignon
Eileen J.

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.

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.

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.

Jim B.

I attended a Yelp event here earlier this year and had a great time. When my friend suggested we do…read morebrunch on Sunday to catch up, I made a reservation on Open Table and selected patio seating. We arrived at 11:45am and were promptly seated outside. Elena was our server and brought a smile and fun attitude to our table as she welcomed us for brunch. She asked if we had been here before and my friend said she was here for dinner, but not brunch. Elena explained the menu and the process as well as the mimosa bar. She was conscientiously around to fill our water glasses, clear our plates and box up any leftovers we had while making sure not to disrupt our conversation. She did an amazing job! The brunch menu is quite extensive. You purchase items a la carte and a bottle of champagne (Nomine-Renard) is brought to your table in an ice bucket (if you are ordering mimosas). You can then go to the mimosa bar inside the restaurant to add a mixture of fresh fruit and juices (the blood orange is amazing!) We ordered several items and requested they not be brought all at once. Elena coordinated on the times we wanted, in an order that was acceptable to us (nice touch!) then brought us separate plates for sharing. I recommended the Toffee Walnut Pull Apart Bread, which was outstanding at the Yelp event, and just as delectable this time around. The maple cream is provided on the side to pour on as much as you wish. The toffee sauce and the coffee crumbles set off this starter item. Next came the Bacon-Wrapped Dates (3 total), which were also delicious. This was followed by the Avocado Bene Croast, which consisted of poached eggs, candied bacon, arugula, avocado and hollandaise sauce. Elena recommended we select the herbed hashbrowns over the seasonal fruit, and we commended her for the recommendation. Finally, we ended with the Campanelle pasta (my friend's recommendation as she had it previously), consisting of shrimp, garlic, grape tomatoes and basil in a white wine sauce. Absolutely 5-stars! I highly recommend the brunch here at Sixty Vines! Great service, excellent food and you can never go wrong with champagne (given we ordered a second bottle to finish off the perfect brunch)!

This, wasn't the case! Entering I was greeted kindly and taken to my table. For a Friday evening, it was lively so make a reservation. It's noisy but I was still able to make conversation and hear my friends. They have a grand selection of drinks to pair with your apps and meals. I definitely enjoyed the frozen espresso martini because it wasn't overtly sweet. (Thank god). The bacon wrapped dates were tasty but alright. My friend ordered the fried chicken caviar + corn shrimp appetizer and between the 4 of us there was still leftovers I personally don't like corn, LOVE shrimp, and still delicious. Loved the lightly fried thin pieces of chicken (no flavor) but when paired with the caviar phenomenal! Not pictured are the brussel sprouts. MAN OH MAN GET THEM. They have a little spicy kick to them. But the flavors and other veggies mixed so well and it was perfectly hot. It's a big portion, nice to share... or not that's how great they are haha. With all of sharing, by the time our entrees came I was only able to eat 2 slices of my bacon shrimp pizza. It's not a combination I'd ever seen. But two of my favorite things? Why not. Pleasantly surprised! 6 slices, thin styled pizza. May not seem much but it's a big plate. I enjoyed the flavor combination, especially the white sauce.

They…read moreproduce an incredible array of handcrafted wines, from crisp whites to bold reds and sweet dessert wines. The Tasting Room: Before or after your meal, stop by their dedicated tasting bar to sample their latest releases. Joining their Wine Club is practically a rite of passage for local foodies! Pairing Recommendations: Every single menu item includes a specific Cooper's Hawk wine number recommendation, making it completely foolproof to pair your glass or bottle with your meal. What We Ordered & Standout Flavors The extensive American menu features a brilliant blend of comfort classics and artisanal creations: The Bruschetta (Starter): A table staple. Toasted artisanal bread topped with Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil, and a generous balsamic glaze drizzle. Simple, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Pan-Roasted Barramundi (Main): Incredibly moist and flaky, served alongside blistered green beans, fingerling potatoes, and a rich, savory crab-butter sauce that ties the whole dish together. Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops: Thick-cut, juicy, and coated in a crunchy pretzel crust, served with a heavenly mustard cream sauce and apple butter. It is the ultimate comfort food done at a fine-dining level. The Dessert: Do not leave without ordering the Cooper's Hawk Chocolate Cake--towering, decadent, and paired with rich chocolate ganache and vanilla bean ice cream. Service & Atmosphere The service at Cooper's Hawk is legendary for a reason. Even with the dining room packed to the brim on a weekend night, the staff operates like a well-oiled machine. Servers are exceptionally well-trained, deeply knowledgeable about the wine list, and maintain an upbeat, attentive pace from start to finish. The atmosphere is lively, sophisticated, and perfect for celebrating special occasions, date nights, or lively group dinners. Elite Pro-Tips for Your Visit: Reservations Are a Must: This location gets packed heavily due to its prime I-Drive positioning. Book well in advance, especially for weekend dinner slots. Beat the Wait: If you didn't book ahead, head straight for the bar area or the outdoor patio seating for a slightly faster route to a great meal. Take a Bottle Home: Grab a bottle of your favorite wine from the tasting room on your way out to enjoy later!

The staff has been super kind every time I've visited, as well as very helpful if you are struggling with finding a wine to fit your palate. They offer various tastings as well. So, you can sample the wine you'd like to try prior to purchase. Again, as noted, you can purchase a bottle or purchase a glass of wine.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

Everything took quite some time to reach the table, but we started out very patient and enjoyed our appetizers once they arrived. I chose the Caesar salad and my boyfriend chose the calamari. We also noticed on the main menu, they had two dollar oysters, so we ordered half a dozen. I ordered the salmon and he ordered the steak. The salmon was served on a bed of spinach and sweet potato purée. It was delicious. It was the perfect portion-- the steak unfortunately did not come with any sides. If you wanted any sides, you had to add them on additionally. We knew this going into the evening so we had no problem with that. I don't eat red meat, but my boyfriend said he enjoyed the steak. Unfortunately, when it came to ordering desserts, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes to receive them. I started to grow more impatient and requested the desserts to be boxed up to take home. We noticed the table next to us had been served their desserts before us even though we ordered before them, but we also noticed that they had a different server. I ordered the banana dessert, which was probably smaller than my fist. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate cake, which I forgot to snag a photo of, but it was very creamy and delicious. Once we received the bill, we noticed that we were charged four dollars per oyster rather than the two dollars that the menu reflected. The manager explained that we were served a happy hour menu not their regular menu and she was going to adjust the price just this one time. We appreciated the offer and she ended up actually comping the entire entirety of the oysters! This was a kind gesture. Although I was very irritated with how long it took to get the desserts, I appreciated that the managers kindness. Magical dining can always be a hit or a miss, but I would love to come back to this restaurant and try out their regular menu eventually!

It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

There were a couple girls taking pics outside when we arrived, so of course I told my parents they needed to do a pic as well. The food menu looked amazing and I will try some bites next time. The bottles of wine were more expensive than expected, but the glasses and beers were very reasonable.
