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

Fancy filet mignon served in a must-see setting that includes a copper-inlaid bar and a luxurious lounge. – In Short With two giant lion sculptures guarding the entrance, the United States eagle emblem in the lobby and the wine lockers displayed with gold nameplates, this place will make you feel protected, if not exclusive. Appetizers include smoked Norwegian salmon and lobster and crab cakes. For dinner, try the towering 14-ounce filet mignon--a dry-aged, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. Other steak choices range from 14 to... read more

It's Own Food Group – The steaks at Capital Grille are really in a food group unknown to any other restarant. The steaks are dry-aged here in their own vault, and served to perfection with your chosen compliment of side dishes or appretizers. The Porcini rubbed Delmonico steak with Balsamic vinegarette was absolutely delicious and incredibly tender. The side dishes of creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes were plentiful and scrumptously accomodating as a compliment to our meals. Impressive service, and romantic, subdued lig... read more

One word: Great. – Simply put, great service and great food. Our waiter ordered for us and did a very good job. My wife had the Delmonico Steak and I had fish. Both dishes were excellent. My wife swears it is the best steak in town. We also had their signature french fries, an off the menu item. They sprinkle truffles on the fries, which make them taste very delicious. We will definately come back.

Top of the line steaks, topped only by outstanding customer service and ambience – My brother and I had the opportunity to visit the Capital Grille while visiting Houston. We had an absolutely outstanding experience from the internet/phone reservations to the bar to the dining experience. The hostess, bartender and servers -- namely Emily -- were all top of the line. Since the food has not yet been mentioned, we both indulged in the massive 14 oz. filet, which was hands down the best either of us had had the opportunity to t... read more

Best steak I have ever had. Wonderful service! – I recently visted your restaurant for a business dinner. I found the food to be exceptional, the wait staff to be professional and the wine selection was out of this world. I routinely dine at some of the finest restaurants in my home city of New Orleans and know something about fine dining. Your restaurant out-classed the finest restaurants in New Orleans. I will conduct all of my business dinners at your restaurant from now on.

Friendly staff, fantasic food – Everything my wife and I had was truly fantastic. I guess the dry aging really works because our filets were not only tender, but the most flavorful we've ever tasted. The cold seafood platter was tremendous. Lobster shrimp and raw oysters-oh my. I will say this, the Capitol Frille is a bit pricey, but when my wife told me it was the best meal she had ever eaten-I viewed it as money well spent. The service was also extremely friendly. Sometimes I hate when the chef/manager/ and/or owner come o... read more

Highbrow dining Texas style – Its elegant, dark-wood interior makes you think that this is how the Old Boys' Network decorate. However, the staff & service are anything but pompous or snooty. Yes, there are alot of Suits & their polished & poised wives dining, but everyone is there to appreciate a fine meal. I had the lamb, cooked to my liking, succulent and tender. Tony, our waiter, suggested to order spilt sides since we wanted to try the mashed and lyonnaise 'taters, great idea, wonderful accompaniment. My co-worker order... read more

BEST STEAK I'VE EVER HAD – I felt out of my league walking into this galleria area restaurant but quickly got over it with the wonderful service my party received. You can dress casually or to the nines and fit right in. The signature drink, the Stoli Doli Martini is to die for. I highly recommend the Delmonico steak with vinegrette and mushroom rub. Absolutely wonderful!
