My husband and I enjoyed a beautiful dinner last night @ the Tysons location. From the time we walked in, the hosts were friendly and welcoming. After deciding to sit at the bar area, Kristina checked on us throughout the night and was phenomenal! Her customer service was amazing. We also appreciated the welcome service from Enrique. They are both a great asset to the restaurant. We’ll return as often as our time will allow!

The bill was expensive but it was good for Valentine’s Day. I got the bone in rib-eye with the Oscar Shrimp. It was really good. They also give you chocolate covered strawberries and roses. It’s a treat for sure. My bf got the sea bass and he recommends. The espresso martini will have you feeling sexy loll as always. The Mac and mash was ok.

I was gifted a gift card so we celebrated our engagement here. We were seated right away, at a quiet table, and the waitress came right over to take our drink order. We had delicious soup which arrived hot and quickly. The lobster bisque was the special and it was so good. I never had so much lobster in a soup that was tender and tasty. The French onion was almost black and it was so rich! The bread basket was overflowing with choices and each one was flavorful and fresh. The onion focaccia was my favorite. We ordered our main course from the chef’s selection section. I had the sliced filet with wild mushrooms, some kind of onions, and a fig sauce of sorts. I personally thought the mushrooms and onions were just ok and I sauce didn’t taste like much bc the mushrooms “sweated” and the sauce was extra runny. BUT the steak was sooooo delicious!!!! I didn’t even know I was chewing it bc it was so tender. The flavor was perfect- not too salty and definitely savory. Tim had the tenderloin and lobster. It was amazing as well. The tenderloin was cooked perfect and the small lobsters were so sweet and tender. We loved both dishes. For sides we got half mashed potatoes and half creamed corn. The mashed potatoes were good but the corn was so different. It wasn’t runny or even mushy. It was like corn off the cob with a hint of cream, some butter, and bacon. It was so delicious I wish I had a full order! We got a fabulous little surprise dessert of some kind of cheesecake and some kind of chocolate cake (maybe crème brûlée cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake). They came with fresh fruit and a little whipped cream. Delicious. It said “Happy Anniversary” because they didn’t have “Happy engagement”! We even received a photo card to commemorate our engagement!! So cool!!! Our waitress, Lourdes, was spot on! She made us feel special and was attentive, without being in our faces. We will be back and we will bring friends! Thank you, Capital Grille, for a wonderful dining experience.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary in Virginia and decided to come here. We were running late, and they gave us a courtesy call to hold our table. When we got there, the staff greeted us and congratulated us on our anniversary. They even decorated the table and gave us a card. We recieved complimentary passion fruit martinis that were delicious. Our waiter, Walter, was amazing. He took real good care of us even when it started getting busy. I loved the anniversary decorations for the desserts. The main course was cooked perfectly. Everything tasted so good. We will definitely come back.

Consistently good food and classy service. Perfect for small plates as well as big steaks and tasty table sides. Our favorites are the French onion soup (nobody makes it better) and the truffle fries (well balanced taste and fried to perfection).

You can’t beat The Capital Grille for a spot-on fine dining experience! We had a ladies small group networking lunch. They accommodated us nicely and the food was 100%! We have a variety of dishes, from entree salads, to steak and salmon. And the desserts: espresso cake and cheesecake are to die for! We will be back!

This location has a beautiful atmosphere. Classy and elegant. We came here for a celebration. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Dinner, apps, desserts and drinks we WONDERFUL. However, our waitress brought all of our salads out separately, so half of our party was done with salads and the other half had just received theirs when dinner came out. Same with desserts. Just a little unorganized.
