The Capital Grille Charlotte

Had a birthday dinner there . It was amazing. Everything was amazing.

Today's DELIGHTFUL experience at Capital Grille exceeded all expectations from this picky diner and her partner. We came to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the day we met. We showed up promptly at 11:30 for a Friday lunch with the generous pour of seven wines each. Do not skip out on this fantastic summer offering only available through Labor Day each year. It did not disappoint at all!!! I chose to have a bowl of the soup of the day (lobster bisque with loads of lobster meat and topped with sherry) to start. I followed it with the lunch plate that comes with soup or salad option for the field greens salad which was sublimely fresh and well dressed. My plate was a tender and well seasoned large chicken breast over a heaping scoop of risotto with mushroom and asparagus. My husband opted for the 45 day aged NY strip cooked medium and truffle fries. It was actually MEDIUM!! I can't tell you how many places under cook or over cook steak. It was tender and flavorful. He had a choice of three sides and opted for the truffle fries where you could actually taste truffle!! Since we were celebrating our anniversary, they surprised us with this beautiful desert plate with a creme brulee cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake with fresh whipped cream and perfectly ripe berries. The service was PERFECTION! The ambience was exactly what we look for in a good restaurant... No TV, decent space between tables, quiet music in the background so you can still hear each other at the table without having to compete with others or the music to be heard by someone sitting right across from you. We will be back again and again with food and service like this! Go, eat, drink, and leave with a happy and full belly!

Years ago, it was the go-to spot, even after CV19. The last two experiences were horrible; much better fine-dining steak houses in CLT. Ruth’s, Deans, Del-Frisco and so on. Their twin Effie v’s is still great but the Grille is gone……

Absolutely amazing restaurant. The host was great and friendly. Food came fast,fresh and hot. Dessert was delicious. Parking was great because we did valet for a great price. I’ll be back

Visited on Friday night and had a work issue before hand, So I needed to change my reservations. host was great about accommodating us. We were seated near the front door so it’s wasn’t the best seat and the atmosphere is a lot different there than in the main dining room. Food was great, but the service was AMAZING. Very quick service and super friendly. Answered all my questions! Request Rey Hernandez for your service if you have the chance next time you go!
