    Poor tasting Burger

    Burger meat didn't have any taste. Fries were good and service was good Specialty burgers are not served anymore

    22 ounce bone in ribeye, Oscar style.

    Great food, great service! Always a great experience and the food is always cooked to perfection. Lobster mac and cheese and creamed spinach are a must and if available, the lobster bisque is wonderful. Cheesecake and Coconut Pie for dessert. Great night out with a couple of close friends.

    Ambiance is nice and feels like fine dining. Love the capital hours for socializing. Service is good as waiters are polished, polite and respectful. Food was average for happy hour. I was not impressed overall. I am going to visit another location to compare. I want to give it another chance. I need to see the wow factor. I tried the Garlic Shrimp no garlic flavor. The shrimp were cooked well and presentation was great. Oysters Casino looked great, but fell short. They were cold and I know they are broiled. It was as if they were left sitting before they were brought out to me. Very lackluster and blah. Cocktails were AMAZING. I definitely will go back for drinks. I had the Peach Bourbon Smash it was 5/5 so GOOD! So definitely worth checking out happy hour. I will visit another location soon and compare.

    I just love coming here on Christmas Eve. The food is always delicious and reliable and the service is attentive and friendly. I usually stick to the same items I loved but this time I decided to try a different dessert. Their warm apple tart is so so good. It's a mix between a cake and pie. Absolutely loved it. As always, the meats were cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes are so soft, and melt in your mouth and the creamed corn is always a hit for us.

    Cast Iron Garlic Shrimp

    This review is for the capital hours - capital grille happy hour. It's M-F 3-6pm. After arriving there was a private event in the bar/lounge area so we were seated in the dining area. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive. The service was good. I decided to try the Peach Bourbon Smash cocktail and Cast Iron Garlic Shrimp for food. The Peach Bourbon Smash cocktail was strong and tasty. It was also reasonably priced at $10. I'd definitely go back to get this cocktail or try another one, maybe the old fashioned. The Cast Iron Garlic Shrimp was ok. It really was seasoned well and overall lacked flavor. So for the happy hour at Capital Grille, I'd suggest you skip the food and enjoy the cocktails.

    Capital Grille in previous experiences has been phenomenal Tonight the service and the food were disappointing We decided to sit in the bar and compare the service and food to our recent experience at Eddie Vs The bartender/server was distracted and spent a lot of his time talking to another server and looking at his phone We had a seafood tower and the quality of the oysters using large golf oysters was very disappointing and not edible My partner ordered butternut squash, but apparently it was not usable so they replaced it with lobster bisque that was just mediocre I had the scallops with risotto that was so salty it could not be eaten Compare this to our recent visit to Eddie Vs where the manager came by twice, the food was better and atmosphere was lively

    Another birthday in the books!

    have been coming to Capital Grill for 11 years at various locations, this location is fantastic. Alex and Martin did a fantastic job tonight. It was my wifes birthday and they did not dissapoint us. food was awesome as always, and it was another great birthday memory! Thanks so much to our server Alex, and Martin who always came by to check on us! It was a real pleasure!

    THANK YOU Capital Grille Plano! Capital Grille made our 10 year anniversary for our large group even more special. Service here should receive 10 stars. The food was extremely superb. The Grand Plateau started our group off. You can't go wrong with Steak or Lamp chops here. We had so many delicious sides too. Brussel sprouts was actually my favorite. We definitely enjoyed a great dining experience.

    We celebrated our daughter's 22nd birthday at The Capital Grille, and the experience was exceptional--truly above expectations. Daniel, our server, was friendly, attentive, and professional. His service made the celebration even more enjoyable, and we would absolutely request him again on our next visit. Most of our party ordered steak, including the filet mignon, bone-in ribeye, and dry-aged porterhouse. Every steak was cooked perfectly and expertly prepared. The side dishes were also very good and complemented the meals nicely. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely recommend The Capital Grille for a special occasion.

    Porcini bone Bone-In Ribeye - so good! Done blue/rare and was perfect. Great marbling and flavor!
    Kelly H.

    Service and food were excellent! They sat us quickly and got us bread and drinks super fast. My steak was done perfectly - blue. Highly recommend the porcini bone in ribeye. The lobster mac and cheese was a great side to go with it. The yuzu highball was really good - also had a dirty martini and loved that they poured it tableside. We will be back!

    I highly recommend the Capital Grille in Plano, the food, ambiance and staff were all amazing! Last night we went in to celebrate my birthday. The staff went out of their way to make our evening special from the moment we walked in the door. The table was decorated, had a happy birthday card waiting, gave us two incredible desserts and gave me a rose on my way out. Everyone was so kind and courteous, they made our evening spectacular.

    Lamb chops the best ever

    My husband and I went for our Anniversary on a Monday after Valentine's Day weekend! We had such a wonderful experience. We have been to Capital Grill before but this was the best! Liz our waitress was so friendly and helpful. We live the decor it's a large room but feels very private and elegant! Our table had a Happy Anniversary card and beautiful little hearts on it so thoughtful. Our dinner was delicious. My husband has the South African Lobster and I had the New Zealand lamb chops both were perfection! We also ordered the cream spinach and AuGratin potatoes, which were good ! Liz helped me with a wonderful wine selection after my perfect pineapple martini! Then to finish it off we tried the coconut cream pie which was amazing! Liz brought is the house Happy Anniversary dessert which was so thoughtful, it made the evening feel so special to Celebrate our 20 th Anniversary! We loved our evening and loved Liz we will be back!!

We had a reservation, which is recommended because the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night in May. We opted to sit on the patio because the weather was gorgeous. I am not sure if the patio is climate controlled in the summer or not. But on that night we were there, the weather was mild so it was very pleasant. They have happy hour on Saturdays so I started with an IPA on tap and the wife had a Prosecco, also for happy hour prices. This is a tapas restaurant so I will try to remember all that we had. Manchego cheese board: excellent. The crisps and jam were perfect with the cheese. Potato torilla: excellent. The flavors melded very well and it was very tasty. It's filling so keep that in mind. Ceviche de jalapeno: excellent. Not too spicy, the shrimp and seafood was fresh with no fishy smell. The plantains were cooked perfectly, not greasy. Brisket on crostini: excellent. Forget the name but they are a winner. Brisket is good quality and the flavors come together nicely. Chicken skewer: excellent. They smartly use chicken thighs so the meat is juicy and tender. Tuna tartare: good. It actually was my least favorite. The quality was very good but it did not have much flavor. I needed some heat, some acid, something to give it a kick. We were absolutely stuffed and did not try dessert. Our server Marcellus was excellent. Very helpful and pleasant throughout. He never disappeared for too long. Overall, we had a great meal and will undoubtedly return here again.

    Quartino Ristorante is a very popular Italian restaurant in the Grandscape district in The Colony…read more This very popular restaurant has fantastic service and caters to the surrounding suburban crowd. But if you want Italian food, you're better off visiting Dallas. My Overall Rating - 2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food) Atmosphere - Quartino Ristorante is a large, stand-alone red brick restaurant. It's big inside and has touches that remind me the Italian restaurants in Chicago, including stairs that go down to the basement. On my Sunday evening visit for dinner, the restaurant was packed with patrons, many of them families visiting Grandscape. It was also very loud. On our table were our plates & place settings, glasses, and pizza stand. These items are communal and self-serve. Beware if you're a germaphobe. 1/2 Star. Service - Our server was excellent. Our party of 4 had two guests arriving later, but he made sure we had bread on our table and brought out water. Once everyone arrived, we put in our order, and the dishes began to arrive as they were made. And as dirty plates piled up, other staff members jumped in to help out. Thanks, team! 1 Star. Food - Unfortunately, Quartino Ristorante didn't hit the spot for me. Starting with the table bread, the Italian bread was very tough. It was like eating bread that had been sitting out. I was hoping for hot, freshly sliced bread. Good thing there was plenty of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar on the table, because I needed it to chew the bread. I found out the pizza oven was gas, not wood fired, so I opted for a trio of small plates: bruschetta, caprese salad, and eggplant parmesan. If you like tart tomatoes, you'll like Quartino Ristorante. I like my tomatoes milder (San Marza). While the bruschetta tomatoes were great, the bread they sat on had the same trait as the table bread. Finally, my eggplant was more mozzarella and tomato sauce then eggplant. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - No. Quartino Ristorante is not my kind of Italian restaurant. It's large, loud, and families that visit Grandscape will be perfectly comfortable here. As for me, I'll stay local to Dallas for my Italian eats. No Stars.

Unfortunately, the pizza did not meet expectations--especially given the price point. It didn't taste fresh or house-made, and it lacked the quality and attention to detail you would expect from a higher-end or craft-style offering. In fact, it reminded me more of the kind of pizza you might pick up at a convenience store (like QT) than something prepared in a specialty restaurant setting. While their coffee may be a strong point (I didn't try), the pizza left a lot to be desired, and I didn't feel it offered good value for the cost and the quality was poor.
