I decided to surprise my wife for her birthday today and wanted to take here somewhere really nice for dinner. Neither of us had been here before, but we had heard great things.
I made online reservations which was incredibly easy and user friendly .
We got to the restaurant a little early and it was pouring , I dropped my wife off , but I was a little wet from the rain. The staff gave me some clothe napkins to help dry me off, which was fantastic!
We get to the table and there are rose pedals and confetti and a hand written happy birthday note from the capital grille! What a great touch! They also sat us in a booth that was perfect as the noise level was low so we could enjoy each others company.the environment was incredible, it was clean , refined and very relaxing.
Our waiters name was Jason, hands down thee best server on the planet. He was personable, funny, friendly, amazing attentive, he always seemed to perfectly time his attentiveness . Truly the entire staff , even down to the wait staff who keep our water filled and took our dishes were incredibly friendly and always prompt.
We started dinner with drinks , which were hand shaken at our table by Jason and they were both great , I got the stoli doli and my wife got the capital cosmopolitan. Would recommend both
Next we ordered our appetizer, we chose the lobster and crab cake with lemon aioli. We just got back from the Florida keys recently and not even their crab cakes were this good, the crab cake had a perfect consistency and the lemon with basil aioli was a perfect pairing. 10/10 would order again
For dinner my wife ordered the Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence, medium rare, I ordered the Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic , also medium rare.
Our dinners and steaks were cooked to perfection. The 15 year aged balsamic had this perfect sweetness to pair with my incredible tender steak with an amazing char! My wife’s fillet was also perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious. The mushrooms just burst in your mouth.
We ordered 2 sides
The Au Gratin Potatoes and Soy-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon both were very tasty, the soy glazed brussel sprouts with bacon was fantastic!
The bacon pieces had this smoky flavor that was to die for!
As we were thinking of ordering desert our waiter Jason surprised my wife with a desert with a candle but kept it discreet, which we loved to be honest.
The desert was a flourless chocolate cake and a brûléed cheese cake both with fresh berries!
Both were amazing, the chocolate cake had this incredible texture and chocolate flavor and paired with the fruit it was just perfect. The cheese cake was the smoothest silkiest cheesecake we have ever had ! The sauce that came with it and the berries , we were speechless
I just wanted to say thank you to the capital grille waiters , hostess and our server Jason for making my wife’s birthday a night to remember.
If I could give you more stars I would!
