The Capital Grille - Hartford, Connecticut

Ohh our first Capital Grille experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was delightful and solid. The steak was perfect. The only critiques IMO: the calamari could’ve used some sort of dipping sauce and the lobster tail seemed slightly overcooked but still tasty. It is quite pricey as well. But the cocktails were fabulous! Very balanced or spirit forward just how I like them.

Where the 5 star experience stands out is the service and atmosphere m. This place is huge and therefore tables are well spaced. Our server, Jordan, made this birthday experience for my husband such a fun and memorable night. His banter was hilarious BUT our favorite moment was when he asked everyone at our table to name one thing they liked about my husband before treating us to a champagne toast and what an honor it was to hear why he is so loved!

Never has a restaurant taken the time to remind us why we are all together! TY Jordan we look forward to coming back.

Last night we treated our grandson and ourselves to an excellent dinner. We were seated on time with Kevin as our server. As expected his service and attention to our desires was exemplary. We started by enjoying some delicious hot bread and rolls and followed that up delicious salads (Caesar and Beet). The steaks and the crab cakes were perfectly seasoned and outstanding accompanied by generous helpings of mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Hot coffee and a delicious fruit topped cheese cake finished our evening’s celebration. We’ll definitely go back again especially when their valet parking service was so convenient on a blustery cold night!

Don't know where to start but here goes.... greatness. Appetizer,.. lamb lollipops delish, entrée; I ordered a special and my husband from the menu, both were steaks- same portion, both cooked to perfection. Service was amazing, Krissy was our waitress(host) she's friendly informative and attentive. The wait staff she had with her were good also., never had an empty glass nor a dirty plate sitting there. Dessert.... oh my, all I say is.. it's worth spending on delicious food.

My sis and I were in town for 90’s con. On Saturday night, we decided to head across the street to this establishment. It was sooo good! I had the best beet salad Ive ever had there. My sis thoroughly enjoyed her NY strip and said it was one of the bests she’s ever had. It took a little while to get our bill for the server but everything else was wonderful!

We went there last night for our anniversary. We had at least 3 employees wish us a happy anniversary. Service was outstanding as well as the food. They gave us a free dessert and 2 glasses of champagne to go with dessert. The ambiance was cozy and it wasn’t loud. We could actually have a conversation without yelling. All the patrons were dressed nicely; no sweatshirts, jeans or sneakers to be seen which is nice when you’re paying a lot of money for dinner. It was really nice to be at a restaurant where people respect the dress code. I highly recommend for special occasions.

First time here, i came by myself for a birthday dinner. (Sunday night 7:30pm) Service was wonderful, i ordered the seared tenderloin with lobster tails and mashed potatoes, it was soooooo good. I also had the stoli dolo cocktail, it was strong but definitely did the job! I give it all a 10/10. Dessert was delicious as well, overall i will definitely be coming back. The service was amazing and the ambiance is everything! They made my night extra special as i was there by myself.

Only negative, was while i was in the restroom i witnessed an employee (waitress to be exact) Use the bathroom, blow her nose, and didn’t wash her hands🤢.

We had 5:30 reservations for a 7:30 show at the Bushnell (15 minute walk from the restaurant). Food was great, I had twin South African lobster tails and my companion had the roasted chicken breast with mushrooms and risotto. The lobster tails were bigger than Maine lobster tails and sweeter in flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The risotto included little pieces of asparagus and that dish was delightful. Signature cocktails were also excellent. The service was a little slow as the place was packed and they wanted you to enjoy fine dining and they did not rush you. However we were walking to the theater so we had to rush a little at the end and the waiter accommodated us. The atmosphere was a little noisy and dark for my taste but I still would go back to this restaurant anytime I was in the area. Very nice meal

Nice environment with delicious food and drinks. The salmon and mashed potatoes were really good. Perfect location for a date night. They also offer valet parking.
