I've been wanting to try this wine bar/bistro since the day it opened. I just never seemed to hit…read moreit at the right time. Fortunately, it was open the day after Christmas at 1pm. What a lovely surprise! It's kind of hidden on Bay Street. It's behind the Restoration Hardware Gallery. You'll see the outdoor patio area on the left as you're exiting the food court. In fact, that appears to be the main entrance (or it was that day). There's another entrance next to the Shake Shack as well. The interior is very reminiscent of bistros in various parts of Europe. It's somewhat dark & moody with warm wood furnishings. The wine/coffee bar is the focal point. The seating is comfortable & diverse. There are also large tables set up for groups of people. It's definitely a great meeting place after a day of shopping. It's also great for couples on a date. I was the first one there that afternoon, and had my pick of tables. They have such a great wine list. I already knew what I wanted thanks to the great descriptions on the menu. The white wine flight is a pick of any 3 from the menu. I had a generous pour of a few French Sauvignon Blanc wines and a Blanc de Franc. It was my first time trying the latter white Cabernet Sauvignon. What a treat! I loved all 3, but my absolute favorite was the one from Domaine Doudeau-Léger. The service here was wonderful. Nina gave me some great suggestions when I asked about the toasts. I ended up choosing the Wild Truffled Mushroom one. It was delicious! The mushrooms were the star of the show. The subtle hint of truffle really brought out the natural flavors. I totally recommend this one. If you're a mushroom lover, there's a mushroom & pea soup that was also recommended. I couldn't leave without dessert. I think my only disappointment was that they didn't have the croissants ready. The Crème Brûlée one is popular as well as the Basque Burned Cheesecake. It would have taken an additional 30 minutes. I ended up getting the Pistachio Ricotta Cake. It turned out to be a good decision because the croissant would have been too filling for me. This cake was perfectly light and paired very well with the cappuccino. They serve Kimbo Italian espresso for all you coffee lovers out there. Even the small detail of having a delicious Italian biscotti cookie bite in the spoon was the perfect ending for me. I'm looking forward to more visits. Hopefully, I'll get to try that croissant dessert that everyone raves about. They serve brunch on the weekends. That's what I want to try the next time I'm at International Plaza.

Again amazing food and a wonderful selection of wines. Had the shrimp pesto flatbread and the tuna…read moreand carpaccio shots.

The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the evening. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and comfortable, making it perfect for a date night, celebration, or business dinner. If you're looking for a classic steakhouse experience with great food, professional service, and an elegant ambiance, The Capital Grille is always a solid choice. We'll definitely be back!

Wow. Took my team out to dinner there, I knew it was going to be a big bill with ten people, happy…read moreto pay for great service which you'd expect bc you know it's going to be 2k, either way, but Capital Grill has the staff to handle it. Holy cow was the service awful and the food way below standard for what they charge ...The steak was bland / average, one guy said inedible... and the service was delivered with a healthy dose of resentment / I hate my job. We'd go 20 mins before seeing anyone and you'd have to 'duck' as they rough cleared between servings. Never again. Done with this food chain. Avoid at all cost. Reeks of remote management / private equity / customer is a number not a person.

For dinner, I chose the Rotisserie Farm Bird. The sauce it came on was good, but the breast was really dry. I used all the sauce on the plate for it, but I could still barely eat it. I had to ask a waitress passing by for some ranch (a trick, I learned to eat my mother-in-law's chicken). Of course the thigh and drum were better because they always are. The veggies on the plate were green beans, carrots, pearl onions, and potato. I don't know why people don't like their vegetables cooked anymore, but I don't like crunchy green beans. The carrots weren't exactly crunchy, but they weren't exactly cooked tender. They were definitely a weird texture. The (large) pearl onions were OK, but I would've preferred actual pearl onions rather than these that were kind of like the size of a shallot. The best thing on the plate was the potato and of course, not enough of it. I am diabetic so I did not try the whiskey cake. I'm sure it would have been delicious.

If you were wondering if the Tampa location had the family meals that you've seen on social media…read moreIm hear to say they do. I stopped in last night to retrieve one of these family meals. It wasn't too busy and I had the best experience with Collin picking out my entree and sides. He had recommendations and helped put the meal together. I got the Sweet chili salmon, green beans and mash potatoes. I had about a 30 minute drive home and we did end up eating this for dinner and I have to say I microwaved the sides and reheated the salmon in a pan just to keep the skin crispy and it turned out really good. A little dry but not terrible for being reheated. I probably wouldn't get the green beans again, but the mashed potatoes and the Salmon were a good option.

Whole Foods is typically cheaper than Publix for organic produce, pasture-raised eggs, organic…read moredairy, humanely raised meats, and 365 Everyday Value Brand store brand products. However, standard packaged pantry snacks and conventional national-brand goods are typically cheaper at Publix, especially when Publix runs its frequent Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) sales. Whole Foods has a much larger selection of pre-made hot food selections and salad selections than Publix. On my latest visit, my hot bar food selections included: Sweet chili chicken 10/10 orange chicken 10/10 Chicken tika masala 9/10 Cheese lasagna 4/10 white fish 6/10 meatballs 8/10 The sweet chili chicken is great but they often have it at Publix for less but it is not always available like it is at Whole Foods. 9/10 The orange chicken had a great flavor as well and they don't ever have anything like that at Publix. 10/10 The chicken tika masala had a good flavor and was mild not spicy, could have had a little more spice but they're probably trying to appeal to more people. 9/10 The cheese lasagna was missing seasoning and meat. 4/10 The white fish was a little on the bland side and could have had a better marinade or seasoning. However, for those who want something light it could work. I wish Whole Foods had more fish dish selections available including some salmon. 6/10 The meatballs had a good flavor and sauce and were not too dry as sometimes happens with meatballs, especially if meatballs are too big. These were just the right size to not be too dry. 8/10 My overall high protein low carb selections weighed in at 1.3lbs at $11.99 per pound which totals to $14. It's a little cheaper than what I'd be charged for chicken tika masala at an Indian restaurant so it's kinda a good deal if you're craving something different, extra healthy, and wholesome. The hot bar is self serve so there is no table service. The ambiance at Whole Foods is modern but minimalist with lots of natural light and modest light wood tables and chairs. A sign describes Whole Foods' healthy standards that aren't standard anywhere else: - We offer fresh produce from thousands of local, organic and sourced for good farms. - Our seafood department only sells sustainable wild-caught and responsibly farmed seafood. - Our standards prohibit over 100 preservatives, flavors, colors and other ingredients commonly found in food. - We don't allow hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners in any food we sell. - Our meat department requires animal welfare certified beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. no added hormones or antibiotics ever.
