About this business

From the U.S. eagle emblem in the lobby to the two giant lion sculptures that guard the entrance, everything at Capital Grille is done BIG. The overall effect comes across as somewhat "macho," but it is an unusual experience that will inspire repeat conversations well into the future. Speaking of big, think sinking your teeth into a towering 14 ounce filet mignon that is complemented by a one pound baked potato and a massive side dish of vegetables. The menu is pricey, but with portions in these sizes, you can always share. ... read more

Everything Was Great – I have to admit it. I really like their wedge. I think I could go and have their clam chowder and wedge and leave a happy person without ever touching steak. That's not to say the steak isn't just spectacular and filling, it's flat out wonderful and worth every penny if you want a special night. Now that I've written this, I think I will go back and get just the soup and wedge. Yum!

Above and Beyond!!! – I was completely blown away by the food and service at The Capital Grille last night!!! When my husband I walked in my first thought was maybe we should not have come on such a busy night. We were warmly greeted and promptly checked in. We had to wait a few minutes for our table which was fine because we got to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. Once we were seated the server was friendly and professional. This was our first visit so we had many questions and as busy as they were he took the time to explain t... read more

Fine Dining Enthusiast – For anyone who enjoys fining dining with superb personal service, a beautiful restaurant, outstanding wine selection, and delectable cuisine, then The Capital Grille should be the place for you! My husband and I dined at The Capital Grille last night as a Valentine's celebration and what an incredible choice. The impressive service started with the valets and never ended. The staff was personable, warm, and showed such enthusiasm for catering to our needs. They truly seem to love what they do which g... read more

Great Meal and Service! – Just had our first visit to Capital Grille a few nights ago and it was all the things we hope for in a fine dining experience. Excellent steaks, amazing king crab, and some unusual but very tasty side dishes in an elegant but not pretentious atmosphere. Our server Jessica was top notch and made us feel comfortable with the extensive wine list and menu. It was our first visit but certainly won't be our last.

Magnificent Valentines – A while ago I wrote to Steve Joest, Managing Partner at Capitol Grille, that it would be nice to have equally attractive nonalcoholic beverages (EANABs) available When we arrived Seth Dehotels, our server, presented us with a delightful chilled sparkling apple juice, sent by Steve. The night unfolded as a sophisticated Valentines Dinner like we have never had before. Steve sent an appetizer that I do not think is on the menu, of crabcakes (the best I have had), prosciutto encrusted cheese and Alaskan... read more

Great food, mediocre service – I made reservations to eat at Capital Grille for the first time last night in honor of my son's 17th birthday as well to be able to take advantage of the extension of Houston Restaurant Week. The reservationist asked if we were celebrating a special occasion- which I informed her we were. Long story short, there were high and low points to our first visit with them: High points: 1) The ambiance is very elegant and the decor classic. 2) The kona crusted sirloin was cooked to perfection and very ... read more

Excellent service and good food – The service is absolutely excellent. The waiter goes above and beyond to anticipate what you want. Oysters from NE were fresh and good. Aged steak was good but not outstanding - not to the quality I would expect from the place which specializes in aged steaks. Overall I enjoyed the experience and will probably go back again for a nice pleasant atmosphere and nice food.

Wonderful Birthday Celebration – Capitol Grill near the Galleria, truly made my birthday celebration a memorable celebration.Our waiter was attentive but did not rush us. The special details such as the rose, the photo developed and given to us during dinner was a nice touch but.... The steaks were excellent, juicy and cooked to perfection. The lobster mac n cheese was to die for. My husbands lobster bisque was creamy and filled with lobster pieces and the caesar salad was yummy. If that wasn't enough the creme brulee served... read more

Disappointing – We hadn't been to The Capital Grille for years, and went for a birthday celebration with guests from out of town. My elderly mother and I are not big eaters, and I know the portions are substantial. I think it was when we split our appetizer that our waiter lost interest in our table. The rest of the evening went downhill from there. When we ordered a bottle of wine for two of us, he misunderstood and served two half glasses. It was unbelievable, and actually embarrassing. I think the sharing of an appetizer ... read more
